Aging study of a lead-acid storage bank in a multi-source hybrid system

Abstract

<p>Autonomous and grid-connected systems play an important role in the<br />massive integration of renewable energy sources necessary for the global<br />development of a sustainable society. In this regard, the analysis of the<br />behavior of electrochemical storage devices such as lead-acid batteries<br />installed on hybrid energy systems and microgrids in terms of lifespan and economic profitability is an important research subject. The purpose of this article is to present a methodology for calculating the aging rate of a storage battery inserted in a hybrid multisource system. The approach consists in first knowing the solicitations of the battery during a year knowing at every moment its state of charge. This curve is obtained from a dynamic simulator taking into account the intermittences of the sources and the load. The second step is to determine the number of cycles and the depth of discharge of each from the stat of charge. Finally, based on the battery life characteristic given by the manufacturer (cycle number vs. discharge depth), the aging rate of the battery for one year of operation is determined.</p>

Design of a Customizable Test Bench of an Electric Vehicle Powertrain for Learning Purposes Using Model-Based System Engineering

“…In fact, it represents a mature field that reached its limited in the last decade, whether from a technological point of view, manufacturing, or even testing facilities. On the other hand, electric vehicles (EVs) nowadays are still a less mature technology and represent an active field of research to solve many difficulties and issues, whether in energy storage (batteries, fuel cells...) [30], autonomy, charging infrastructure, regenerative braking systems, or even the sudden rise in the electric power demand that would need a whole infrastructure [31]. It is true that green technology has known a great growing interest; however, nowadays we are in a situation where we are running out of time to launch the global mass production and marketing of different electric vehicles.…”

Design methodology of smart photovoltaic plant

“…The control rules for this FLC controller is shown in Table 1. 2) Fuzzy charger battery For the control of the battery charge and discharge regulator, a fuzzy model of Takagi-Sugeno [25], [26] has been chosen, which presents an efficient technique. The input is the battery voltage (Vb) and the outputs are the signals K1 and K2.…”
