Lithium battery system for renewable energy applications

这项研究建议探索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。与铅酸电池技术相比，锂电池技术具有许多固有的优势，但一些技术、设计和经济挑战依然存在，并正在减缓市场从久经考验的铅电池技术向更持久、更高性能的锂电池设计的过渡。这项研究方案考虑了一种简化、模块化和灵活的锂电池系统设计理念，与市场上现有的产品相比，这种设计理念在成本和复杂性方面都有所降低。该项目旨在实现模块化的锂电池系统概念，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技术来实现。特别令人感兴趣的是提高太阳能应用中的电池性能和成本效益。**

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. **
