Lithium Sulfur (Li-S) battery is generally considered as a promising technology where high energy density is required at different applications. Over the past decade, there has been an ever increasing volume of Li-S academic research spanning materials development, fundamental understanding and modelling, and application-based control algorithm development. In this study, the Li-S battery techn...

This paper presents the analysis and design of a hybrid fuel cell battery auxiliary power unit (APU) for remote applications where a fuel cell is the main energy source, operating for slow power dynamics while a battery or a supercapacitor compensates fast transient peak power requirements. A fuzzy logic based control has been implemented in the energy management performance control in order to...

The modeling and design of an active battery cell balancing system using MultiLevel Converter (MLC) for EV/HEV/PHEV is studied. The MLC allows to independently switch ON/OFF each battery cell in a battery pack . This extra degree-of-freedom (DoF) can be exploited to optimally use each cell in order to balance among them the temperature and state-of-charge (SoC). This study has shown that the co...

We present ODACell, an automated electrolyte formulation and coin cell assembly system for accelerated battery research.

The Multi input dc–dc boost converter is used for hybridizing alternative energy sources such as photovoltaic(PV),fuel-cell(FC) for generation and battery for storage purpose is designed and simulated with a minimum number of switches and also easy control circuit. The system is applicable for DC loads. Control strategy has been considered to achieve permanent power supply to the load via the p...

Li-Ion batteries are widely preferred in electric vehicles. The charge status of batteries is a critical evaluation issue, and many researchers are studying in this area. State of charge gives information about how much longer the battery can be used and when the charging process will be cut off. Incorrect predictions may cause overcharging or over-discharging of the battery. In this study, a l...

objective: as domestic violence becomes increasingly recognized a widespread social problem, judicial system has begun playing larger roles in providing legal protection to these victims. one way they are doing this in the united states is through the use of protective restraining orders or injunctions. the purpose of this research was to determine if permanent injunctions for protection provid...

Based on the electrochemical and thermal model, a coupled electro-thermal runaway model was developed and implemented using finite element methods. The thermal decomposition reactions when the battery temperature exceeds the material decomposition temperature were embedded into the model. The temperature variations of a lithium titanate battery during a series of charge-discharge cycles under d...

Daniell cell (i.e. Zn-Cu battery) is widely used in chemistry curricula to illustrate how batteries work, although it has been supplanted in the late 19th century by more modern battery designs because of Cu(2+)-crossover-induced self-discharge and un-rechargeable characteristic. Herein, it is re-built by using a ceramic Li-ion exchange film to separate Cu and Zn electrodes for preventing Cu(2+...
