    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

    Energy Storage RTE Tutorial Course 1/3: What is Round Trip Efficiency (RTE)? Why is it Important? How Much Does it Cost?

    In the first of this three-part webinar series, a definition of RTE will be presented along with simple system equations that are important to its understanding, determination and management. RTE for some popular battery systems i.e. Lead Acid, Lithium Ion, Vanadium Redox and Nickel Zinc will be computed as examples, and their variation with common variables such as rate, capacity variability & SOC swing will be discussed. The costs of Round Trip inefficiency can be significant, and are experienced by customers either in higher energy generating capital costs and/or higher operating expenses. The calculation of these higher costs will be reviewed, and there will be a discussion on the key industry variables that influence them. Different geographic and customer markets will be considered.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • The Importance of RTE to battery selection decisions
    • How does RTE impact CAPEX and/or OPEX for energy storage
    • How is RTE defined and how can it be derived – comparison of different systems
    • An introduction to ancillary equipment energy losses

    Maximizing Battery Performance and Reliability for Electric Vehicles and Energy Storage

    FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.

    As automakers and utilities transition away from non-renewable energy sources, batteries have become essential for efficient energy storage and delivery. Companies are working intensely to deliver higher capacity and more robust batteries to power their products, but ad hoc development processes cannot keep pace with the volume of battery data being generated. In addition, understaffed battery  development teams are unable to leverage their data to accelerate development or improve production and manufacturing.

    In this webinar, we will outline the challenges that the battery industry is facing and how big data analytics can virtually eliminate manual data management and provide powerful capabilities that deliver rapid insights into a battery’s design that dramatically accelerate the development process and results in products with greater performance and reliability.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Recognizing the challenges and bottlenecks in battery development today
    • Automating the battery data collection, data cleaning, and data management process
    • Identifying design issues earlier with predictive analytics
    • Leveraging metadata to understand the impact of materials, processes and test conditions

    Energy Storage – A Key Enabler for Adoption of Renewables in India

    The new era of the energy sector encircles around alternate sources of energy, the truth in the phrase has now been well understood and accepted by even the toughest critic of change.The world has become aware and has put its faith in renewables. But with increase of renewables in grid what also creeps in is variability, which makes the grid inertia go down. The call of the day is to make renewables responsible, one potential way of the same is through combining storage with renewables. But how viable is storage and to what extent can it stop the variability brought to the grid by renewables. This paper discusses on the storage potentials, their types, present challenges and way forward.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Current power sector scenario – India preview
    • Market predictions
    • Challenges
    • How energy storage can be an enabler
    • Present status of energy storage, forecast, challenges and way forward
