    Battery EIS Tutorial Course 2/4: EIS at Higher Frequencies for Battery Studies – Good or Bad Indicators for SoC and SoH?

    Impedance data at higher frequencies can be used, to some extent, as indicators of the State of Charge (SoC) or State of Health (SoH) of the battery. A discussion of the relevance of this indicator, as well as the most accurate way to determine this value, will be discussed.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Typical shape of an impedance graph on a battery
    • How can it be used for battery monitoring, optimization, and sorting ?
    • Various ways to measure this value and our recommendation

    Energy Storage RTE Tutorial Course 3/3: Total Battery System RTE – Ranking and Comparison of Different Battery Chemistries

    RTE impacts of HVAC/Ventilation and Inverters will be described. Batteries generate heat, and this must be dissipated by system cooling and/or taken out of the system. Heat generated can be calculated by looking at IR heating and that generated (net) by exothermic reactions. Examples will include LFP, Li-NMC, Lead Acid and Nickel batteries, both when they are fresh, as well as at their end of useful life. The overall ancillary equipment energy usage will be listed for these systems, and a % RTE loss will be calculated for both nominal rate and high rate applications. Commentary will be provided for other systems. RTE will be summarized and ranked for most energy storage battery chemistries including ZA, NaS, LiS, Saltwater, Liquid Metal, Zinc Bromine and Fuel Cells.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • RTE impacts of Inverters and HVAC
    • RTE impacts for ancillary equipment for different systems
    • RTE numbers for most battery systems being considered for energy storage

    Energy Storage RTE Tutorial Course 2/3: Ampere-Hour (Ah) RTE and Voltage Polarization Energy Losses

    Many aqueous systems have water electrolysis to contend with, and above 70-80% SOC, RTE losses from this competing reaction can be significant. Management of these losses has been evolving for decades, and there are now tried and tested methods mostly related to charging algorithms & partial state of charge (pSOC) cycling. These methods will be reviewed. Relevant for every battery chemistry, Cell Voltage factors, will be separated into eight different components, four each, for the cathode and anode. These will be presented & described. The variables that affect them will be reviewed, including the effects of age & cycling and methods for their ongoing measurement. Techniques to reduce and mitigate polarization will be detailed & possible benefits will be quantified in terms of RTE & cost for different scenarios.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Ah Efficiency losses in aqueous systems
    • Types of Voltage Polarization losses for all systems
    • Strategies and plans for reducing & mitigating efficiency losses
    • Improvement potential for different systems
