SBIR Phase I: Convection Battery

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力包括能源安全，可持续性，低成本能源和减少温室气体排放的社会目标的重大进展。 对流电池是一种系统性方法，用于改善大型系统（2 kWh）中使用正常（非流动）电池化学物质的方式。 这项技术将使电池成本更低，重量更轻。 该技术如何实现这些目标的具体示例包括：a）将电动汽车电池组的成本从10，000美元降低到2，000美元，B）将使用风力发电的成本降低至每千瓦时0.05美元，以及c）降低在没有电网的农场和地区使用的远程电力系统的成本。 从商业角度来看，该技术将更好地支持几个重要行业，如风力发电，电动汽车，太阳能发电，电网电力存储和偏远地区的电力系统。 这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力包括能源安全，可持续性，低成本能源和减少温室气体排放的社会目标的重大进展。 对流电池是一种系统性方法，用于改善大型系统（2 kWh）中使用正常（非流动）电池化学物质的方式。 这项技术将使电池成本更低，重量更轻。 该技术如何实现这些目标的具体示例包括：a）将电动汽车电池组的成本从10，000美元降低到2，000美元，B）将使用风力发电的成本降低至每千瓦时0.05美元，以及c）降低在没有电网的农场和地区使用的远程电力系统的成本。 从商业角度来看，该技术将更好地支持几个重要行业，如风力发电，电动汽车，太阳能发电，电网电力存储和偏远地区的电力系统。

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project includes significant advances in societal goals on energy security, sustainability, low cost energy, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The convection battery is a systemic approach to improve the way normal (not flow) battery chemistries are used in large systems (2 kWh). This technology will make batteries lower cost and lower weight. Specific examples of how this technology can achieve these goals include: a) reducing the cost of a battery pack for an electric vehicle from $10,000 to $2,000, b) reducing the cost of using wind power by up to $0.05 per kWh, and c) lowering the cost of remote power system used on farms and regions without an electrical power grid. From a commercial perspective, the proposed technology will better enable several important industries such as wind power, electric vehicles, solar power, storage of grid electricity, and electrical power systems for remote locations.
