Direct Electrodeposition of Electrically Conducting Ni3(HITP)2 MOF Nanostructures for Micro-Supercapacitor Integration.

Micro-supercapacitors emerge as an important electrical energy storage technology expected to play a critical role in the large-scale deployment of autonomous microdevices for health, sensing, monitoring, and other IoT applications. Electrochemical double-layer capacitive storage requires a combination of high surface area and high electronic conductivity, with these being attained only in porous or nanostructured carbons, and recently found also in conducting metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). However, techniques for conformal deposition at micro- and nanoscale of these materials are complex, costly, and hard to upscale. Herein, the study reports direct, one step non-sacrificial anodic electrochemical deposition of Ni3(2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene)2 - Ni3(HITP)2, a porous and electrically conducting MOF. Employing this strategy enables the growth of Ni3(HITP)2 films on a variety of 2D substrates as well as on 3D nanostructured substrates to form Ni3(HITP)2 nanotubes and Pt@ Ni3(HITP)2 core-shell nanowires. Based on the optimal electrodeposition protocols, Ni3(HITP)2 films interdigitated micro-supercapacitors are fabricated and tested as a proof of concept.

Enhancing ASC Energy Storage: A Component-Based Modeling Approach

Among various electrical energy storage technologies like batteries and ultracapacitors, asymmetrical supercapacitors (ASC) stand out as hybrid devices combining battery-like as well as ultracapacitor-like characteristics. Despite extensive research with respect to this device, a significant research gap has emerged – the lack of investigation into the relationship between positive electrode parameters and the performance of ASC. The presented research work comprises a comprehensive study of ASC employing statistical modeling with the design of experiment (DoE) methodology. Component-based approach adopted, offers a more efficient and cost-effective way to predict the behavior and performance of asymmetrical supercapacitor over conventional electrochemical-based methods. It allows the creation of predictive models based on existing data, reducing the need for extensive experimentation without compromising on research output. It has established correlations between these parameters and two vital performance metrics: specific capacitance and pulse current. The outcomes of this study offer valuable insights into the positive electrode factors directly influencing specific capacitance and pulse current in manganese dioxide-activated carbon-based supercapacitors. This knowledge holds the potential to enhance the performance of ASC, making them promising candidates for replacing conventional battery-supercapacitor combinations in various applications.

Utilization of Coal Fly-Ash derived Silicon (Si) as Capacity Enhancer of Li-Ion Batteries Anode Material

The increasing demand for energy has caused a rise in coal usage, resulting in high fly ash generation. The high SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 content in fly ashes (FAs) allow them to be processed in electrical energy storage technology, such as lithium-ion-based secondary batteries. The research aims to develop silicon from FAs for Li-ion battery applications. The fabrication of silicon materials employed in this study are (i) extraction of SiO2 from FA, (ii) gelation of SiO2, (iii) magnesiothermic reduction of SiO2 to Si under N2 flow, (iv) purification of silicon, (v) the solid-state composite fabrication of Si/C. The as-prepared Si was characterized. XRD test showed the presence of silicon phase and minor impurities in Mg. SEM analysis of the Si showed that the material has a polymorph shape with a rough surface of micron-sized secondary particles. EDX test showed the presence of impurities in the form of O and Mg atoms; meanwhile, the EDX mapping confirmed the dominant distribution of Si in the sample. Galvanostatic charge-discharge analysis of a battery with 5%Si/C anode and LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 or NCM811 cathode resulted in a specific charge and discharge capacity of 600 mAh/g and 473.6 mAh/g, respectively, which is greater than the graphite theoretical capacity of 372 mAh/g.

Battery Energy Storage System for Building Integrated Photovoltaic Applications

Human pursuits’ daily energy needs are consistent; however, renewable energy sources are intermittent in nature. Thus, an energy storage system is required to bridge the generation-demand gap. Electrical energy storage (EES) is a system that converts electrical energy into a form that can be easily stored in various devices and converted back into electrical energy as needed. The battery energy storage system (BESS) is one of the most well-known and promising EES technologies for storing renewable energy. Today, various BESS types are in use; some are established technology, while others are still in R&D. The selection of BESS capacity for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems necessitates a trade-off between critical criteria, including power vs. energy, design voltage, and operating temperature. This research analyzed various BESS technologies and presented optimal capacity selection and design criteria. Hence, the best BESS design approach takes into account climatic data, PV panel specifications, and budget constraints. While BESS technology varies depending on project requirements and other considerations, lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used due to their high energy density, efficiency, and extended cycle life. For cost-sensitive BIPV systems, lead-acid batteries are preferred due to their low capital cost, technological maturity, and relatively good cycle efficiency. Thus, the correct quantity of batteries in a BESS bank is determined by energy storage goals, BESS type and size, and service load. Finally, the paper concluded with recommendations for best practices for BESS design, appropriate operation, and maintenance conditions for Nigeria’s prevalent BESS technology for BIPV applications

Battery Technologies in Electric Vehicles: Improvements in Electric Battery Packs

Restrictions on fossil fuels and related environmental pollution issues motivate many organizations and countries to set their focus on electric vehicles (EVs) rather than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles [1], [2]. EVs require an energy storage system to store converted electric power in another form of energy and then reconvert the stored energy to electric power whenever it is required. The energy stored can be converted to electric energy for various uses, such as movement, lighting, and heating (although accessories are supplied by a 12-V auxiliary battery; the auxiliary battery is supplied by the main battery pack or by recuperative energy). Fortunately, many electrical energy storage technologies are available, with some offered commercially while others are in the research and development stage [3], [4]. Electrochemical energy storage systems use various technologies [5], [6]. Energy storage systems, the heart of EVs, are composed of battery cells, battery modules, and a battery pack. Researchers work on various sections of battery packs to improve their performance [7]. These sections are illustrated in Figure 1. As shown in the figure, some EV battery technology developers are studying chemical materials to increase the capacity, power, energy density, safety, and cell voltage. In the past century, the most common batteries for EV applications were Pb–acid and Ni-based batteries [8]. In current use, Li-ion-based batteries are at the top.

Multi-criteria optimization and thermo-economic analysis of a heat pump-organic Rankine cycle Carnot battery system

Energy storage is a crucial solution for the intermittency and instability of renewable energy. Carnot batteries, a novel electrical energy storage technology, promise to address the challenges of renewable electrical energy storage worldwide. Rankine-based Carnot batteries, which are geographically unconstrained and effectively store energy at low temperatures, have attracted considerable attention in recent years. In this study, a mathematical model was developed, and a multi-objective optimization with power-to-power-efficiency, exergy efficiency, and levelized cost of storage was performed. Moreover, the investment cost and exergy loss of the optimized system components were investigated in detail and analyzed. The results showed that the optimal power-to-power-efficiency, exergy efficiency, and levelized cost of the storage system can be achieved at 60.3%, 33%, and 0.373 $/kWh based on single-objective optimization, and the operating parameters of the proposed system are different. Therefore, there is a strong trade-off relationship between the three objective functions mentioned above. Under the same weighting for the two approaches, they are 25.8%, 23%, and 0.437 $/kWh, and 39.3%, 29.1%, and 0.549 $/kWh, respectively. Furthermore, this study observed that the exergy destruction in the charge mode was nearly 95 kW larger than that in the discharge mode, and the exergy destruction of the throttle valve was the largest at 95.83 kW, accounting for 28.32%. The expander was the component with the highest cost (35.84% of the total cost) in the proposed system, followed by the compressor.

PurposeThis research aims to assess and compare project-based learning (PBL) designs to deliver technopreneur in higher education, as a case student of the Industrial Engineering Department. So, it can facilitate students who play a role in facilitating the process of technological transformation so the student knows well how to solve the problem of commercialization.Design/methodology/approachUndergraduate students of Industrial Engineering teams were given hands-on, collaborative projects conducted with two incubation centers, such as the Technology Incubator Center from the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (AAAT) from the government of Indonesia and the Centre of Excellence for Electrical Energy Storage Technology (CEfEEST) from Sebelas Maret University (UNS), Indonesia. After completing the project, students will develop a final project which will become the basis for evaluating the implementation of PBL.

The assessment result gives the alternative to design the proposed PBL from AAAT, CEfEEST and a blended scenario for technopreneur education in the future.Practical implicationsThe experiences and findings presented can help future PBLs provide technopreneur education based on comparing and evaluating learning outcomes in both incubation centers. Thus, it can produce a better PBL design to encourage the success of technology commercialization.Originality/valueThe assessment of PBL on students' knowledge in technopreneur education by utilizing the paired t-test method to compare the assessment results of the final projects with the designed assessment rubric. This evaluation serves as the basis for comparing the effectiveness of PBL implementation between AAAT and CEfEEST.

Cyclic Voltammetry on Carbon in Sulphuric Acid and Its Relationship to Electrode Kinetics in Vanadium Flow Batteries

Demand for energy stability and balancing of electricity is growing rapidly, driven by the increased use of energy from renewable sources such as the sun, wind and ocean. Due to the intermittency and/or unpredictability of such sources, there is a growing need for energy storage solutions that allow such energy to be harvested when available and stored until needed. Redox flow batteries offer a promising solution for large-scale energy storage and several advantages over other electrical energy storage technologies. For example, their power output and energy capability can be scaled independently of one another to suit the desired application.Among the numerous flow battery systems, vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) are the most common commercial system in operation or development worldwide.The main advantage of VFBs is that they use the same element on both sides which reduces cross-contamination problems due to mass transfer, in turn resulting in long operational lifetimes without the need for expensive system reconditioning.In the literature, there is considerable variation in the data regarding the kinetics of vanadium reactions at carbon electrodes.1,2 We have previously1-4 reported that cathodic treatment enhances the kinetics of the positive (VIV-VV) electrode in VFBs but inhibits the kinetics of the negative (VII-VIII) electrode, while anodic treatment inhibits the kinetics of the positive electrode but enhances the kinetics of the negative electrode. Recently, we have shown evidence that cathodic treatment can also inhibit activity of the positive electrode and that anodic treatment can also inhibit activity of the negative electrode, confirming the existence of three states of carbon.1,4 In addition, we showed evidence that the activity of carbon-based electrodes depends strongly on the electrode history and in particular on the most positive and most negative potential used to treat an electrode.4 In this presentation, we will show how cyclic voltammetry of carbon electrodes in sulphuric acid (in the absence of a vanadium redox couple) varies as the electrochemical treatment of the electrode and the cyclic voltammetry window are changed. Furthermore, we will relate these cyclic voltammetry results to the enhancement and inhibition of both VII-VIII and VIV-VV kinetics at carbon electrodes that have undergone the same electrochemical treatments.

Magnesium ion-doped layered oxide cathodes for alkali-metal ion batteries: Recent research progress and outlook

With the widespread application of electrical energy storage technology, it is particularly essential to develop a new generation of rechargeable batteries with low cost, high capacity, and long cycle life. Alkali-metal ion batteries (AIBs) have attracted great attention in the field of secondary batteries due to their high capacity and impressive rate and cycle performance. As a typical class of AIB cathode material, transition metal (TM) layered oxides have been widely studied and applied by virtue of their unique structure and excellent tunability, but there are still some limitations such as poor capacity retention and inferior structural stability. To date, various modification strategies have been investigated to address these issues. In particular, heteroatom doping is considered to be an effective strategy to modify the lattice architecture of cathode materials. This review summarizes the effect of magnesium ion doping on the structure and performance of AIBs, including alkali metal site doping and TM site doping. Specifically, Mg doping can stabilize the structure, eliminate the order, increase conductivity, and enhance the kinetics, which are beneficial to improve the performance of AIBs. Moreover, some typical materials synthesis methods and in-situ characterization techniques for mechanistic studies are also discussed. Finally, the future development trend of electrode doping strategies for advanced AIBs is analyzed.

Coordinated Optimization of Distributed Wind Power and Electric Energy Storage Technologies

The location and capacity of distributed wind power (DWG) and battery energy storage (BES) in the distribution network affect the operation of the distribution network. To improve the consumption capacity of wind power and reduce the impact of uncertainty of wind power output on the operation of the distribution network, the optimal allocation of DWG and BES should be coordinated in the planning stage. In this paper, the stochastic tide of the wind-storage system is used to reflect the operation status and uncertainty of the distribution network with DWG and BES, and the maximization of the integrated return of equal annual value is used as the objective function to establish the opportunity constrained planning model.

A review of current problems and plausible solutions of lithium-based battery

The lithium-based battery has become the hottest topic and could be attractive technologies for electrical energy storage that have higher electrochemical stability and make long-range electric vehicles possible. However, many technical obstacles about electrochemical stability and energy capacity are needed to be mitigated or solved. In this article, the possible solutions of the nanometer anode materials in the lithium-based battery and advanced techniques for improving capacity and safety of the battery are summarized.

Techno-economic comparison of cooling storage and battery for electricity flexibility at long and short timescales in buildings

Cooling storage and batteries are the most ubiquitous types of thermal and electrical energy storage technologies in buildings; thus, their techno-economic comparisons can assist in deciding appropriate installation and maintaining efficient operation. The ratio of battery capacity to cooling storage capacity for achieving the same electricity flexibility, referred to as the discount ratio, can quantify long- and short-term technical differences between two storage methods. In the long term, namely during the cooling season, the flexible performance of cooling storage decreases as capacity increases, with an average discount ratio of 0.44–0.93 in a typical office building. Meanwhile, cooling storage should be invested before batteries due to the economic advantage, and the optimal cooling storage capacity is 25% of the design-day cooling load. The short-term metric quantifies the daily dispatch capability of cooling storage, which is strongly positively correlated with the share of cooling load. Furthermore, wind power but not photovoltaics can individually enhance the flexibility of cooling storage. In general, renewable energy facilitates the utilization of cooling storage: The optimal capacity with 50% wind and 40% solar penetration rises to 2.8 times the optimal capacity without renewables. Finally, the research estimates the application potential in various Chinese provinces and concludes that most regions are suitable, yet necessitate extra portable energy storage in non-cooling season.

Engineering of Sodium-Ion Batteries: Opportunities and Challenges

The recent proliferation of sustainable and eco-friendly renewable energy engineering is a hot topic of worldwide significance with regard to combatting the global environmental crisis. To curb renewable energy intermittency and integrate renewables into the grid with stable electricity generation, secondary battery-based electrical energy storage (EES) technologies are regarded as the most promising solution, due to their prominent capability to store and harvest green energy in a safe and cost-effective way. Due to the wide availability and low cost of sodium resources, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are regarded as a promising alternative for next-generation large-scale EES systems. This review discusses in detail the key differences between lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and SIBs for different application requirements and describes the current understanding of SIBs. By comparing technological evolutions among LIBs, lead-acid batteries (LABs), and SIBs, the advantages of SIBs are unraveled. This review also offers highlights on commercial achievements that have been realized based on current SIB technology, focusing on an introduction of five major SIB companies, each with SIB chemistry and technology, as well as commercialized SIB products. Last but not least, it discusses outlooks and key challenges for the commercialization of next-generation SIBs.

Економічний аналіз технологій акумулювання електричної енергії

The use of cost-effective large-scale electrical energy storage systems is necessary for the reliability of the power system due to the rapid growth of its production by powerful renewable energy sources. The article examines stationary electric energy storage devices, namely: sodium-sulfur; lead-acid; lithium-ion; nickel-cadmium; vanadium reduction, polysulfide-bromine and zinc-bromine flow batteries; supercapacitors; superconducting magnetic energy. Information from open sources on technologies of electric energy storage has been analyzed. As a criterion of optimality in world practice, the weighted average cost of electric energy for the life cycle is used, which ensures the self-sufficiency of the source of its production or accumulation for the entire cycle of its existence. A comparison of modern technical and economic indicators of various electrical energy storage technologies is made. Calculated average cost of electrical energy storage over the life cycle (LCOS) of various storage devices. It was determined that supercapacitors and superconductors of magnetic energy have the lowest cost of storage, and lithium-ion ones have the highest. Therefore, to minimize short-term power fluctuations in power systems, superconducting magnetic and supercapacitor storage devices are preferable. They have a lower cost of electric energy storage, short response time and high specific power.

Comparative study on the globally optimal performance of cryogenic energy storage systems with different working media

Cryogenic energy storage (CES) has garnered attention as a large-scale electric energy storage technology for the storage and regulation of intermittent renewable electric energy in power networks. Nitrogen and argon can be found in the air, whereas methane is the primary component of natural gas, an important clean energy resource. Most research on CES focuses on liquid air energy storage (LAES), with its typical round-trip efficiency (RTE) being approximately 50% (theoretical). This study aims to explore the feasibility of using different gases as working media in CES systems, and consequently, to achieve a high system efficiency by constructing four steady-state process models for the CES systems with air, nitrogen, argon, and methane as working media using Aspen HYSYS. A combined single-parameter analysis and multi-parameter global optimization method was used for system optimization. Further, a group of key independent variables were analysed carefully to determine their reasonable ranges to achieve the ideal system performance, that is, RTE and liquefaction ratio through a single-parameter analysis. Consequently, a multi-parameter genetic algorithm was adopted to globally optimize the CES systems with different working media, and the energy and exergy analyses were conducted for the CES systems under their optimal conditions. The results indicated the high cycle efficiency of methane and a low irreversible loss in the liquefaction cycle. Moreover, the Joule-Thomson valve inlet temperature and charging and discharging pressures considerably affected the system performance. However, exergy loss in the CES system occurred primarily in the compressor, turbine, and liquefaction processes. The maximum optimal RTE of 55.84% was achieved in the liquid methane energy storage (LMES) system. Therefore, the LMES system is expected to exhibit potential for application in the CES technology to realize the integration of natural gas pipelines with renewable power grids on a large scale. Moreover, the results of study have important theoretical significance for the innovation of the CES technology.

Development of Novel Semi-Stranded Windings for High Speed Electrical Machines Enabled by Additive Manufacturing

Recent advances in electrical machines and energy storage technologies make electric vehicles (EVs) feasible replacements to conventional internal combustion engines. One of the main challenges of high speed electrical machines is providing maximum output power with minimum energy losses, weight, and volume. At high frequency operation, the conductors of AC electrical machines can suffer from skin and proximity effects. This results in high AC losses in the machine windings and can eventually lead to machine failure. In this paper, a novel design for a semi-stranded coil is proposed to limit these undesirable effects. Enabled by additive manufacturing (AM) technology, this sophisticated design is 3D printed using ultralight aluminum alloy. Finally, the AC performance of this coil is measured and compared with conventional single-strand copper coil at different frequency levels. It is found that the proposed design can effectively limit the eddy current losses in the high frequency domain.

Techno-Economic Comparison of Brayton Pumped Thermal Electricity Storage (PTES) Systems Based on Solid and Liquid Sensible Heat Storage

To integrate large shares of renewable energy sources in electric grids, large-scale and long-duration (4–8+ h) electric energy storage technologies must be used. A promising storage technology of this kind is pumped thermal electricity storage based on Brayton cycles. The paper’s novel contribution is in the techno-economic comparison of two alternative configurations of such storage technology. Liquid-based and solid-based pumped thermal electricity storage were studied and compared from the techno-economic point of view. The cost impacts of the operating fluid (air, nitrogen, and argon), power rating, and nominal capacity was assessed. Air was the most suitable operating fluid for both technologies, simplifying the plant management and achieving cost reductions between 1% and 7% compared to argon, according to the considered configuration. Despite a more complex layout and expensive thermal storage materials, liquid-based systems resulted in being the cheapest, especially for large applications. This was due to the fact of their lower operating pressures, which reduce the cost of turbomachines and containers for thermal energy storage materials. The liquid-based systems achieved a cost per kWh that was 50% to 75% lower than for the solid-based systems. Instead, the cost per kW benefited the solid-based systems up to nominal power ratings of 50 MW, while, for larger power ratings, the power conversion apparatus of liquid-based systems was again cheaper. This was due to the impact of the turbomachines on the total cost. The machines can represent approximately 70% of the total cost for solid-based systems, while, for liquid-based, approximately 31%. Since the cost of turbomachines scales poorly with the size compared to other components, solid-based systems are less suitable for large applications.

High Power‐ and Energy‐Density Supercapacitors through the Chlorine Respiration Mechanism

AbstractSupercapacitor represents an important electrical energy storage technology with high‐power performance and superior cyclability. However, currently commercialized supercapacitors still suffer limited energy densities. Here we report an unprecedentedly respiring supercapacitor with chlorine gas iteratively re‐inspires in porous carbon materials, that improves the energy density by orders of magnitude. Both electrochemical results and theoretical calculations show that porous carbon with pore size around 3 nm delivers the best chlorine evolution and adsorption performance. The respiring supercapacitor with multi‐wall carbon nanotube as the cathode and NaTi2(PO4)3 as the anode can store specific energy of 33 Wh kg−1 with negligible capacity loss over 30 000 cycles. The energy density can be further improved to 53 Wh kg−1 by replacing NaTi2(PO4)3 with zinc anode. Furthermore, thanks to the extraordinary reaction kinetics of chlorine gas, this respiring supercapacitor performs an extremely high‐power density of 50 000 W kg−1.

V2G And G2V System Design As An Alternative Power On Microgrid With Smart Switching Method Based On Microcontroller

Solar energy is very easy to get in Indonesia because it is located in the tropics and equatorial regions. With the abundance of solar energy, the PLTS system is very suitable for use in Indonesia. Apart from these advantages, the microgrid system with a PV mini-grid still has drawbacks, namely intermittent sun exposure, so the reliability of the PV mini-grid system is affected by time, climate, and weather. Therefore, the PLTS system requires electrical energy storage technology in the form of batteries. In addition to the use of batteries, the use of battery electric vehicles (BEV) can also be used as an alternative to help supply power to the microgrid system. Its application uses the Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and Grid to Vehicle (G2V) methods. In this study, the design of the V2G and G2V systems was made with the Smart Switching method as an alternative power source to the microgrid system. The Smart Switching method is used to consider the condition of the battery to prevent overheating, overcharging, and deep discharging. It is equipped with a battery condition monitoring system that can be monitored on the LCD screen. The results of this study showed that the design of the V2G and G2V switching systems can run according to the plan. The system can provide power to the microgrid busbar. The system can automatically cut off when the maximum temperature, the upper and lower limits of the battery voltage, and the monitoring system can provide information in the form of battery conditions, temperature values, voltages, and currents. Thus, the V2G and G2V systems with the Smart Switching method can already be applied as an alternative power source to the microgrid system.
