Thermal Modelling and Cost Analysis for Large-Scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Grid-Connected PV Plant Thermal Modelling and Cost Analysis for Large-Scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Grid-Connected PV Plant Md Mehedi Hasan Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2019 School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering Abstract With the growing renewable energy capacity at an exponential rate every year, energy storage system has become popular. Among available energy storage systems, battery energy storage system (BESS) is widely used technology for its high-power density and fast response in renewable plants such as photovoltaic (PV) farm. The indispensable operation of battery system is to store excess PV generation and utilise it effectively. Fluctuation in PV generation output is a usual incident due to the unpredictable nature of PV generation. Therefore, a storage system is required to smooth its output generation prior to export it to the grid. Despite a lot of advancement in electrochemical storage technology and cost reduction, battery degradation remains a big obstacle for its wider acceptance in large-scale PV plant. Battery degrades because of charging/discharging operation as well as during idle condition. Elevated temperature of battery cell accelerates battery degradation, which indicates an imminent loss of expensive investment on BESS. In addition, elevated temperature is responsible for adding to the cost of battery system operation in the plant by accelerating cooling system operation. A number of research studies have been carried out to model thermal characteristics and be- haviour of battery. However, the majority of studies reported in the literature are conducted on the small-scale battery thermal management where thermal behaviour is investigated using complicated thermo-dynamical models. However, a detailed thermo-dynamical model is not feasible for a large- scale BESS, where thousands of battery cells are installed and thermally interacting with each other. To consider battery degradation cost in the EMS, a solution is required to estimate battery thermal behaviour for any given profile without following any complex computational methods. An accurate battery cell temperature estimation can play a significant role in ensuring BESS optimal operation considering its degradation. In this thesis, the work starts with investigating the thermal behaviour of the battery with respect to its charging/discharging operation along with other possible effective parameters. Identifying the most dominant factors for battery cell temperature is one of the primary steps. A comprehensive ther- mal model will be developed to estimate battery cell temperature with 24 hours horizon in advance ii iii with high accuracy. Finally, an effective cost function will be developed considering dominant pa- rameters. Different simulation strategies are implemented to assess the proposed models. This thesis will consider all pertinent matters and undergo rigorous assessments using real field data to ensure practicality. Scalability of the solution will be kept in mind for future development along with the aforementioned features. Power industries and academia will be benefited from the studies on ther- mal behaviour of battery, battery cell temperature estimation, and cost functions for effective BESS operations in a PV plant.

  • Battery Charging Considerations in Small Scale Electricity Generation from a Thermoelectric Module
    Battery Charging Considerations in Small Scale Electricity Generation from a Thermoelectric Module C. E. Kinsella1, S. M. O’Shaughnessy1, M.J. Deasy1, M. Duffy2, A.J. Robinson*1 1Department of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering, Parsons Building, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. 2 Electrical and Electronic Engineering, NUI Galway, Ireland *Email: [email protected] *Tel: +353 1 896 3919 Abstract This project involves the development of a prototype electrical generator for delivering and storing small amounts of electricity. Power is generated using the thermoelectric effect. A single thermoelectric generator (TEG) is utilised to convert a small portion of the heat flowing through it to electricity. The electricity produced is used to charge a single rechargeable 3.3 Volt lithium-iron phosphate battery. This study investigates methods of delivering maximum power to the battery for a range of temperature gradients across the thermoelectric module. The paper explores load matching and maximum power point tracking techniques. It was found that, for the TEG tested, a SEPIC DC-DC converter was only beneficial for temperature gradients less than 100 ⁰C across the TEG. At a temperature gradient of 150 ⁰C, the effective resistance of the battery was close to the internal resistance of the TEG. For temperature gradients in excess of 100°C a DC-DC converter is not suggested and a simple charge protection circuit is sufficient. Keywords Thermoelectricity, Electricity Generation, Load Matching, Maximum Power Point Tracking 1. Introduction Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are solid state devices that convert heat directly to electricity. Although TEGs are commercially available, they are low in efficiency, typically of the order of 3-5%.

  • Perspectives in Using of the 3D Textile Composites to Produce Rechargeable Batteries
    PERSPECTIVES IN USING OF THE 3D TEXTILE COMPOSITES TO PRODUCE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES CS III Dr. Eng. Raluca Maria AILENI1, CS Eng. Laura CHIRIAC1 1 INCDTP, Bucharest, Romania REZUMAT. Această lucrare prezintă câteva aspecte privind compozitele 3D textile cu funcţionalizare controlată a suprafeţei la nivel micro/nano pentru a obţine compozitul adecvat cu capacitate de a stoca energia. Bateriile clasice nu sunt flexibile, nu sunt uşoare, şi generează probleme la integrarea în produsele textile. Recent bateriile pe bază de textile utilizează acoperiri metalice (de exemplu: argint, nichel, cupru, zinc) sau materiale pe bază de carbon pentru realizarea supercapacitorilor (SCs). În plus, prin intermediul tehnologiei Polymer-Assisted Metal Deposition (PAMD), metalele cu conductivitate mare cum ar fi cuprul (Cu) şi nichelul (Ni) pot fi depuse uniform, pe materialele textile pretratate pentru a realiza baterii pe suport textil flexibil pe bază de litiu. Interesul crescut în realizarea bateriilor flexibile cu consum redus de energie pentru sisteme de monitorizare purtabile este datorat faptului că bateriile clasice sunt rigide şi produc disconfort la purtare. O alternativă o reprezintă dezvoltarea bateriilor flexibile, a capacitorilor utilizând acoperiri prin peliculizare, impregnare, printare directă, printare 3D pe bază de soluţii polimerice conţinut de micro/nanoparticule. În literatura ştiinţifică, câteva abordări constau în electrozilor din argint, cupru, argint/nichel, nichel/cupru, cupru/argint, oxizi de grafen şi nanotuburi de carbon (CNTs) combinate cu materialele pentru electroliţi cum ar fi sulfonat de polistiren (3,4-etilen-dioxitiofen) (PEDOT: PSS) sau triiodura de potasiu (KI3). Câteva grupuri de cercetare au raportat SCs flexibili pe bază de electrozi flexibili 1D integraţi prin procedee mecanice şi electrozi capacitivi integraţi într-o singură fibră sau fir.

  • Battery Life and How to Improve It
    Battery Life and How To Improve It Battery and Energy Technologies Technologies Battery Life (and Death) Low Power Cells High Power Cells For product designers, an understanding of the factors affecting battery life is vitally important for managing both product Chargers & Charging performance and warranty liabilities particularly with high cost, high power batteries. Offer too low a warranty period and you won't Battery Management sell any batteries/products. Overestimate the battery lifetime and you could lose a fortune. Battery Testing Cell Chemistries FAQ That batteries have a finite life is due to occurrence of the unwanted chemical or physical changes to, or the loss of, the active materials of which Free Report they are made. Otherwise they would last indefinitely. These changes are usually irreversible and they affect the electrical performance of the cell. Buying Batteries in China Battery life can usually only be extended by preventing or reducing the cause of the unwanted parasitic chemical effects which occur in the cells. Choosing a Battery Some ways of improving battery life and hence reliability are considered below. How to Specify Batteries Battery cycle life is defined as the number of complete charge - discharge cycles a battery can perform before its nominal capacity falls below Sponsors 80% of its initial rated capacity. Lifetimes of 500 to 1200 cycles are typical. The actual ageing process results in a gradual reduction in capacity over time. When a cell reaches its specified lifetime it does not stop working suddenly. The ageing process continues at the same rate as before so that a cell whose capacity had fallen to 80% after 1000 cycles will probably continue working to perhaps 2000 cycles when its effective capacity will have fallen to 60% of its original capacity.

  • EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION of an INTEGRATED SOLAR DRIVEN WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM for TRIGENERATION APPLICATIONS by MURAT
    EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF AN INTEGRATED SOLAR DRIVEN WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM FOR TRIGENERATION APPLICATIONS By MURAT EMRE DEMIR A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering University of Ontario Institute of Technology Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Oshawa, Ontario, Canada August 2018 © Murat Emre Demir, 2018 ABSTRACT Hydrogen is a promising alternative as an energy carrier (and carbon-free fuel) to meet the global power demand. Hydrogen production systems can efficiently harvest energy from renewable sources. Even though photo-electrochemical systems offer an attractive potential for both hydrogen production and wastewater treatment systems, their application in industrial scales is not satisfactory. This thesis study proposes a trigeneration system for electricity, hydrogen and clean water production. TiO2 photocatalyst is used in a photoelectrochemical (PEC) reactor, which cleans the water via Fenton-like process and produces hydrogen. A novel solar thermoelectric generator (TEG) unit drives the reactor. For the hot side, the phase change material (PCM) which is heated by the concentrator feeds TEG, and the wastewater stream provides the cold surface. The PEC system is investigated experimentally while the design and calculations of the TEG-PCM sub- system are analyzed theoretically in this study. Moreover, in this study, the synergistic effects of advanced oxidation reactions (AOPs) in a combination of TiO2 photocatalysis are comparatively investigated for hydrogen production and wastewater treatment applications. The synergistic effects of Fenton, Fenton-like, photocatalysis (TiO2/UV) and UV photolysis (H2O2/UV) are investigated individually and in a combination of each other. The effects of various parameters, including pH, type of the electrode and electrolyte and the UV light, on the performance of the combined system are also investigated experimentally.

  • Real-Time Estimation of Battery Internal Temperature Based on a Simplified Thermoelectric Model
    Real-time Estimation of Battery Internal Temperature Based on a Simplified Thermoelectric Model Cheng Zhanga, Kang Lia,∗, Jing Denga aSchool of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Queen's University Belfast, 125 Stramillis Road, Ashby Building, Belfast, BT9 5AH, UK Abstract Li-ion batteries have been widely used in the EVs, and the battery thermal management is a key but challenging part of the battery management system. For EV batteries, only the battery surface temperature can be measured in real- time. However, it is the battery internal temperature that directly affects the battery performance, and large temperature difference may exist between sur- face and internal temperatures, especially in high power demand applications. In this paper, an online battery internal temperature estimation method is pro- posed based on a novel simplified thermoelectric model. The battery thermal behaviour is first described by a simplified thermal model, and battery electri- cal behaviour by an electric model. Then, these two models are interrelated to capture the interactions between battery thermal and electrical behaviours, thus offer a comprehensive description of the battery behaviour that is useful for battery management. Finally, based on the developed model, the battery internal temperature is estimated using an extended Kalman filter. The exper- imental results confirm the efficacy of the proposed method, and it can be used for online internal temperature estimation which is a key indicator for better real-time battery thermal management.
