This research proposal explores an innovative lithium battery system design suitable for displacing traditional lead-acid batteries within (but not limited to) renewable-energy-based micro-grid applications. Lithium-based battery technologies have many inherent advantages over their lead-acid counterparts, but a number of technical, design and economic challenges persist and are slowing the market transition from traditional tried-and-true lead-based battery technologies to longer-lasting and higher-performing lithium-based designs. This research proposal considers a simplified, modular and flexible lithium battery system design philosophy that is reduced in cost and complexity as compared to current products in the marketplace. This project aims to realize a modular lithium battery system concept that can be installed with the same ease, flexibility and cost as today's lead-acid batteries. This is to be achieved by developing new technologies and techniques for packaging, managing and protecting commodity lithium cells. Of specific interest is improving battery performance and cost-effectiveness within solar power applications.

这项研究计划探索了一种创新的锂电池系统设计，适合在（但不限于）基于可再生能源的微电网应用中取代传统的铅酸电池。锂基电池技术与铅酸电池相比具有许多固有的优势，但一些技术，设计和经济挑战仍然存在，并且正在减缓从传统的可靠铅基电池技术向更持久和更高性能的锂基设计的市场过渡。该研究提案考虑了简化、模块化和灵活的锂电池系统设计理念，与市场上现有产品相比，该设计理念降低了成本和复杂性。该项目旨在实现一种模块化锂电池系统概念，可以像今天的铅酸电池一样轻松，灵活和成本地安装。这将通过开发包装、管理和保护商品锂电池的新技术和工艺来实现。特别感兴趣的是提高太阳能应用中的电池性能和成本效益。
