Microgrid Energy Storage using Lithum-Sulfur Batteries

锂硫电池技术制造商OXIS Energy与南安普敦大学合作，展示了一种新的可充电电池技术，能够以具有竞争力的成本实现高循环寿命，以瞄准微电网储能市场。该项目将利用OXIS Energy的核心锂硫技术，使用新的电解质分类来延长循环寿命。南安普顿大学将利用他们在新型电化学测试技术方面的丰富知识来评估候选电解质配方，然后在实验室中测试其性能证书。这些新的电解质将由OXIS扩大规模，并在原型Li-S电池中展示其全部性能。该项目将展示这种新型可充电电池技术用于固定能量存储的商业可行性。如果成功开发，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来提高英国的能源安全。

OXIS Energy, a manufacturer Lithium Sulfur battery technology has formed a collaboration with the University ofSouthampton to demonstrate a new rechargeable battery technology capable of achieving high cycle life at competitivecosts to target the microgrid energy storage market. The project will exploit OXIS Energy's core Lithium Sulfur technologyusing a new electrolyte classification to extend cycle life. The University of Southampton will exploit their extensiveknowledge of novel electrochemical test techniques to assess candidate electrolyte formulations and then test theirperformance credentials in the laboratory. These new electrolytes will be then scaled up by OXIS and their full performancecharacterised in a prototype Li-S battery cells. The project will demonstrate the commercial feasibility of this newrechargeable battery technology for stationary energy storage. If successful developed this technology will reduceconsumer costs and carbon emissions whilst improving the Uk's energy security by being less reliant on foreign imports offossil fuels.
