Lead acid batteries are widely used in vehicles and other applications requiring high values of load current. Its main benefits are low capital costs, maturity of technology, and efficient recycling. Advantages Disadvantages Low-cost and simple manufacture Low cost per watt-hour High specific power, capable of high discharge currents Good performance Read more…
Li-ion battery chemistries have the highest energy density and are considered safe. No memory or scheduled cycling is required to prolong battery life. Li-Ion batteries are used in electronic devices such as cameras, calculators, laptop computers, and mobile phones, and are increasingly being used for electric mobility. Their advantages and Read more…
Type Description Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) The battery consists of a cobalt oxide cathode and a graphite carbon anode. The cathode has a layered structure. During discharge, lithium ions move from the anode to the cathode. The flow reverses on charge. The drawback of Li–cobalt batteries is their relatively short Read more…
Key Factors Affecting the Viability of Battery Energy Storage System Projects Factor Impact on Project Viability Cost of storage Battery costs, while falling, are still the most significant driver of project viability. Costs depend on the MW/MWh ratio of the battery. The terminal value at the end of the project’s Read more…
While buildings themselves cannot solve the COVID-19 pandemic, it cannot be denied that they will play a crucial role in minimising viral transmission. A recent study suggested that enhancing indoor air quality (IAQ) could be as effective in reducing aerosol transmission of viruses as vaccinating 50-60% of the population. As Read more…
