ENERGY STORAGE FOCUS

Energy Storage Systems

 

 

Application areas

 

  • Grid scale storage

  • Transportation

  • Distributed/Small scale (e.g. renewable energy)

  • Residential & Commercial storage

 

Scalable & high capacity Technologies

 

 

  • Batteries

  • Flywheels

  • Superconductors

  • Supercapacitors

  • Compressed air

 

Batteries

 

  • Lithium ion, Lithium sulfur

  • Beyond Lithium- e.g. Al, Mg, Na, F-ion

  • Sodium ion, Sodium sulfur

  • Sodium beta Alumina

  • Sodium nickel chloride

  • Vanadium redox

  • Lead acid

  • Lead carbon

  • Iron redox flow

  • Thin film

  • 3D

 

 

 

 

 

Engineering Considerations

 

 

Performance Testing Parameters

 

  • Cost (Fixed, Scalable, Power, Energy)

  • Size

  • Scalability

  • Reliability

  • Durability

  • Expected lifetime

  • Cycle time and life

  • Safety

  • Sustainability

  • Response time

  • Energy & power densities

  • Efficiency (e.g. round trip, energy/power losses)

  • Charge/discharge cycles

  • Self discharge

  • Power- Rate, Duration

  • Operating time- Rate & Peak Power

  • Interoperability

  • Reaction reversibility

  • Functionality

 

In addition to the above parameters, we also look critically at supply chain considerations and how that will impact the overall economics, including offering suggestions for alternative materials with similar peformance and cost-benefit considerations.
