Online Diagnosis and Lifetime Prognosis of Next Generation Energy Storage Systems

1.概述*电力已成为我们日常运行中的必需品，它的不可用可能会导致可以避免的不良后果，因为维护良好的电网通常更能抵御故障。因此，本研究项目的目标是开发故障弹性储能技术。建立先进的可靠性框架将带来新的科学工具，加快它们在电网集成和电力运输中的部署。因此，这两种下一代储能设备的日历老化是开发新的故障诊断和故障预测工具的关键。一旦确定了这些故障预测因素，就可以开发先进的方法来最大限度地减少这些组件上的老化先兆，以延长其使用寿命。所开发的技术将为自我监测智能储能系统奠定基础，这些系统能够在早期阶段识别故障前兆，从而帮助防止灾难性故障。2.智力优势*目的是调查早期故障并开发在线故障诊断/故障预测工具，为未来的能源系统建立早期预警系统。储能设备的快速和广泛部署引起了人们对可靠性的重大担忧，特别是对于安全关键系统。持续监测这些系统对于防止意外停机和可能导致致命事故或运行中的重大损失的悲惨故障至关重要。目前的诊断工程工具还不够成熟，不能实时检测或识别故障前兆，导致储能系统的可靠性差距很大。为了可靠地推动这些技术的发展，本研究项目研究了大量的储能设备的退化过程，以开发新型的在线退化监测工具，并提高能源系统的整体可靠性。开发的工具将使自主早期故障诊断和自我监控智能能源系统的健康评估成为可能。*3.更广泛的影响*专业知识和研究成果将使广泛的交通和能源部门受益。然而，考虑到可再生能源的巨大市场，工业利益可能远远超出这些领域，并蔓延到其他快速增长的领域。例如，拟议的研究计划将加快技术从学术研究向工业部门的转移，知识产权将成为知识产权专利申请的主题。ABB、Vestas、Senvion、Adelser等国际公司和TM4、BRP、Gentec、NovaBus、Hewitt和Opal-RT Technologies等加拿大公司是已开发技术的主要消费者。

1. Overview***Electricity has become a necessity in our daily operations and its unavailability may result in undesirable consequences that can be avoided since a well-maintained power grid is generally more resistant to failure. Hence, the aim of this research program is the development of fault-resilient energy storage technologies. Establishing an advanced reliability framework would lead to new scientific tools, accelerating their deployment in grid integration and electric transportation. For that, calendar aging of both next generation energy storage devices is an instrumental key for the development of new fault diagnosis and failure prognosis tools. Once these failure predictors are determined, advanced methods can be developed to minimize aging precursors on these components for their lifetime extension. The developed technologies will provide a foundation for self-monitoring smart-energy storage systems that can recognize failure precursors at an early stage and thus help prevent catastrophic failures.******2. Intellectual merits***The aim is to investigate incipient faults and develop online fault diagnosis/failure prognosis tools to establish early warning systems for future energy systems. The rapid and widespread deployment of energy storage devices raises significant reliability concerns, particularly for safety critical systems. Continuously monitoring these systems is essential to prevent unexpected shutdowns and tragic failures that could result in fatal accidents or significant loss in operations. Current diagnostic engineering tools are not mature enough to detect or identify failure precursors in real-time, leading to a major reliability gap in energy storage systems. In order to reliably move these technologies forward, this research program investigates numerous degradation processes of energy storage devices to develop novel online degradation monitoring tools and improve the overall reliability of energy systems. Developed tools will enable autonomous incipient fault diagnosis and health assessment for self-monitoring smart-energy systems.******3. Broader impacts***The expertise and research results will benefit the broad transportation and energy sectors. However, considering the vast market of renewable energies, industrial benefits may go far beyond these sectors and spread to other fast-growing fields. The proposed research program will accelerate technology transfer from academic research to industrial sectors and the intellectual property will be the subject of patent applications for the IP-core, for example. International corporations such as ABB, Vestas, Senvion, Adelser, and so on, and Canadian companies such as, TM4, BRP, Gentec, NovaBus, Hewitt, and Opal-RT Technologies, and so on are primary consumers of the developed technologies.
