Microgrid Energy Storage using Lithum-Sulfur Batteries

锂硫电池技术制造商OXIS Energy与南安普顿大学合作，展示了一种新的可充电电池技术，该技术能够以具有竞争力的成本实现高循环寿命，目标是微电网储能市场。该项目将利用OXIS能源公司的coreLithium硫技术，使用一种新的电解质分类来延长循环寿命。南安普顿大学将利用其在新型电化学测试技术方面的广泛知识来评估候选电解质配方，然后在实验室测试其性能证书。这些新型电解质将通过OXIS进行放大，并在原型锂- s电池中进行全面性能表征。该项目将展示这种新的可充电电池技术用于固定储能的商业可行性。如果开发成功，这项技术将降低消费者成本和碳排放，同时通过减少对外国进口化石燃料的依赖，改善英国的能源安全。

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.
