KurzbeschreibungBatteries enable sustainable mobility, renewable power integration, various power grid services, and residential energy storage. Linked with low cost PV, Li-ion batteries are positioned to shift the 19th-century centralized power grid into a 21st-century distributed one. As with battery integration, this course combines understanding of electrochemistry, heat & mass transfer, device engineering.
LernzielThe learning objectives are:

- Apply critical thinking on advancements in battery integration engineering. Assessment reflects this objective and is based on review of a scientific paper, with mark weighting of 10 / 25 / 65 for a proposal / oral presentation / final report, respectively.

- Design battery system concepts for various applications in the modern power system and sustainable mobility, with a deep focus on replacing diesel buses with electric buses combined with charging infrastructure.

- Critically assess progresses in battery integration engineering: from material science of novel battery technologies to battery system design.

- Apply "lessons learned" from the history of batteries to assess progress in battery technology.

- Apply experimental and physical concepts to develop battery models in order to predict lifetime.
Inhalt- Battery systems for the modern power grid and sustainable mobility.

- Battery lifetime modeling by aging, thermal, and electric sub-models.

- Electrical architecture of battery energy storage systems.

- History and review of electrochemistry & batteries, and metrics to assess future developments in electrochemical energy stroage.

- Sustainability and life cycle analysis of battery system innovations.
