Lithium Sulfur Battery commercializing soon

Haroon — Tue, 23 May 2017 11:16:59 +0000

Lithium Sulfur (Li-S) Technology is on the cusp of commercialization. The technology has been deemed to have one of the highest demonstrated specific energy 500 Wh/kg. Note that the highest demonstrated specific energy for other conventional Li-ion technologies is almost half i.e. 250 Wh/kg. At present, there are 14 different chemistries that are being researched under the Lithium Sulfur umbrella. It is also the cost of the Lithium Sulfur battery that is very attractive. Currently the cost for manufacturing is 200 dollars/ kWh. This is very low in comparison to other technologies given the low scale of lithium sulphur battery

Types of Lithium Ion Batteries used in EVs

Haroon — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 13:06:08 +0000

Electric Vehicles have been using different types of Lithium Ion batteries in their battery packs. Out of the five popular Li-ion chemistries, 4 are used in modern EV’s. The only exception is Lithium Titanate battery which was initially used in Mitsubhi iMiEV but has been replaced by Lithium Ion Phosphate (LFP). In the 90’s Nickel Metal Hydride batteries were being used in EV’s and Hybrids (GM EV1 and GM Precept) of the time. However, superior energy density and lack of memory effects titled the industry in favour of Lithium Ion. This table on the types of Lithium Ion Batteries used in EVs is based

Future of Lithium Ion Batteries

Haroon — Wed, 20 Apr 2016 11:03:45 +0000

The arrival of Lithium Ion batteries have been nothing short of a blessing in the world of technology and gadgets. These batteries are more energy dense compared to both Lead Acid and Nickel Metal hydride. They are extremely versatile and have been powering airplanes to pocket devices (e.g. cell phones). They hardly require any maintenance. Such has been the impact of Li ion batteries that they have pushed electric vehicles from mere concept to a reality. Their use in handheld devices in particular, has revolutionized communication technology. Today energy storage solutions at grid level are being implemented courtesy Lithium Ion (Li-ion). However, continual conquest in human

Why battery storage power stations are the future of electrical grid

Haroon — Mon, 14 Mar 2016 16:18:23 +0000

In this article, it will be explained why energy storage companies are racing against Tesla for the filling the emerging gap in the infrastructure required for the new electrical grid system. It will be discussed why Battery storage power stations (BSPS) are the holy grail to renewable integration in grid systems. Problems with the existing grid A power grid infrastructure of today was designed and conceived in an age, when input from intermittent sources like renewable energy wasn’t an option. The power generation was centralized rather than desperate . In most cases, a major power plant far away from the city was used to cater

5 Types of Lithium Ion Batteries

Haroon — Wed, 23 Sep 2015 08:56:45 +0000

Types of Lithium Ion Batteries Lithium ion batteries occupy almost every household. Nearly everyone of us carries them in their cellphone. Their high energy density makes them portable and their rechargability makes them long lasting. Lithium ion batteries have made it possible to have aircrafts with only electric propulsion (e.g Solar Impulse aircraft). There is still along way to go before they replace the low cost lead acid batteries but research is underway across the globe. The 5 types of Lithium ion batteries along with their properties are given below. Lithium-Cobalt Oxide Battery Used mostly in handheld electronics (Cell phones, Laptops

Seven Challenges Faced by the Battery Industry

Haroon — Mon, 03 Aug 2015 14:44:24 +0000

Battery technology nowadays is witnessing much needed research activity. It was recognized by US Advanced Battery Consortium more than a decade ago that for electric cars to be competitive, the battery technology needs to be improved substantially. Many a times it has been mentioned that a feasible and efficient battery-pack is the holy grail to electric car invasion. Improvements are needed right from atomic scale, cell scale to module and system scale. Today research across the globe is pushing the technology forwards at a much higher pace compared to last decade. It should be noted that price to travel a mile
