Microgrid Energy Storage using Lithum-Sulfur Batteries

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

OXIS Energy, a manufacturer Lithium Sulfur battery technology has formed a collaboration with the Universityof Southampton to demonstrate a new rechargeable battery technology capable of achieving high cycle life atcompetitive costs to target the microgrid energy storage market. The project will exploit OXIS Energy's coreLithium Sulfur technology using a new electrolyte classification to extend cycle life. The University ofSouthampton will exploit their extensive knowledge of novel electrochemical test techniques to assesscandidate electrolyte formulations and then test their performance credentials in the laboratory. These newelectrolytes will be then scaled up by OXIS and their full performance characterised in a prototype Li-S batterycells. The project will demonstrate the commercial feasibility of this new rechargeable battery technology forstationary energy storage. If successful developed this technology will reduce consumer costs and carbonemissions whilst improving the Uk's energy security by being less reliant on foreign imports of fossil fuels.
