By marrying a conventional fuel-powered engine with a battery to drive an New Batteries electric motor, HEVs achieve the dual environmental benefit of reducing both On the Market p 3 greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption. The UltraBattery also has the ability to provide and absorb a charge rapidly during vehicle acceleration and braking, making it particularly suitable for HEVs, which rely on the electric motor to meet peak power needs during acceleration and can recapture energy normally wasted through braking to recharge the battery. Over the past 12 months, a team of drivers has put the UltraBattery to the test at the Millbrook Proving Ground in the United Kingdom, one of Europe’s lead- ing locations for the development and demonstration of land vehicles.

    Page 0061 World Electric Vehicle Journal Vol. 3 - ISSN 2032-6653 - © 2009 AVERE EVS24 Stavanger, Norway, May 13-16, 2009 Advanced Lead-Acid Batteries – the Way forward for Low-Cost Micro and Mild Hybrid Vehicles A Cooper1, P Moseley2 1European Advanced Lead-Acid Battery Consortium, 17a Welbeck Way, London W1G 9YJ. UK. [email protected] 2Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium, PO Box 12036, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, USA. [email protected] Abstract The Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium has been researching into VRLA batteries since 1992, initially for electric vehicle (EV) applications, where it achieved significant life extension in deep cycle duty. More recently it has focussed its work on hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications where the battery has to operate in High-Rate Partial State-of-Charge (HRPSoC) conditions. Whereas in EV operation failure occurs in the positive plate, in HEV duty, failure is due to negative plate sulfation, resulting in rapid loss of capacity. Ways of overcoming this have been investigated successfully and the ALABC is undertaking vehicle demonstration programmes to publicise this work. Keywords: Valve-regulated lead-acid,, Bipolar, HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) 1 Introduction Proper battery management to keep high voltage strings in balance. Improved grid design to enhance charge In a hybrid electric vehicle, the battery has to be acceptance and discharge ability. maintained in a partial state-of-charge (PSoC) so that it can both accept regenerative charging and Modifications to the negative plate also deliver power to assist in propulsion of the chemistry and, more specifically, the vehicle without the battery becoming over- addition of carbon to the negative active charged or over-discharged.

Chau Received: 29 September 2017; Accepted: 24 October 2017; Published: 2 November 2017 Abstract: Batteries are promising storage technologies for stationary applications because of their maturity, and the ease with which they are designed and installed compared to other technologies. However, they pose threats to the environment and human health. Several studies have discussed the various battery technologies and applications, but evaluating the environmental impact of batteries in electrical systems remains a gap that requires concerted research efforts. This study first presents an overview of batteries and compares their technical properties such as the cycle life, power and energy densities, efficiencies and the costs. It proposes an optimal battery technology sizing and selection strategy, and then assesses the environmental impact of batteries in a typical renewable energy application by using a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system as a case study. The greenhouse gas (GHG) impact of the batteries is evaluated based on the life cycle emission rate parameter.

Most of this issue is devoted to details of new products being exhibited at the show and many other machines are expected to be unveiled in Munich. Full details and pictures of the newcomers will be provided in the next issues of CP&E. However, seeing new machines is just one reason for visiting a major exhibition like Bauma. Equally important is the opportunity to network and discuss not only developments in technology and better operational practice but also the state of the industry itself. Being able to take an industry health check and assess future business potential is currently more vital than ever given the challenges faced by many companies in the last 18 months due to the global economic crisis. For most construction machinery manufacturers there was never any doubt that they had to be at Bauma. This is the world exhibition for the construction equipment industry and, as it is only held once every three years, being seen to be there, even in these difficult times is essential for all serious contenders.
