A new life estimation method for lithium–ion batteries in plug–in hybrid electric vehicles applications
This paper presents a new approach to life estimation for lithium–ion batteries used in plug–in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) applications. A new framework for battery life estimation is developed which investigates the effects of two primary factors of battery life reduction in PHEVs applications, namely, depth of discharge (DOD) and temperature (Tbatt), under typical driving conditions, ...

Major EV Battery Safety Recalls? Electra`s AI Technology Can Help
Electric vehicle recalls have accelerated as the risk of battery thermal runaway due to faults and failures remains a major pain point in the eMobility industry. General Motors recently took a $1.8 billion hit for battery warranty and replacement costs for the Chevrolet Bolt, according to CNBC, and it is not the only major OEM challenged by battery malfunction. While thermal runaway in electric ...

Marine AC UPS for Critical Offshore Installations
Equipment installed in ships or offshore installations typically operate under tough conditions, and any possible equipment failures can have serious cost impact. Despite this, products not really suited for the applications are often chosen based on the initial cost rather than looking at the total cost of ownership. One example is the use of a modular marine AC UPS versus the use of a modified ...

Europe solar-storage costs fall below markets as learnings kick in
Solar plus storage costs are falling below wholesale power prices across Europe and deeper savings in capex and cost of finance lie ahead, authors of a new cross-industry paper told New Energy Update. A new study of PV and battery costs at six European cities indicates solar plus storage costs are falling faster than previously expected. Utility scale PV projects with 2 ...

Coulombic Efficiency Demystified
Let’s say you have a 1-liter bottle of water and you pour all of its contents into another empty 1-liter bottle and then back to the original bottle. A few drops of water spill as you do so. The loss is hardly noticeable - the drops may account for only 1% of the total, so you still have 99% of the water that you started with. This example essentially illustrates Coulombic efficiency - the ...

Financial Analysis of Energy Storage - Case Study
Net present-value (NPV) is the current worth of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows given a specified rate of return. It is a great tool to analyse the profitability of an investment independent of different lifetimes and account for inflation and degradation – two of the biggest impacts on ...

What Reduces Battery Life?
Batteries have become the lifeblood of today’s machines, devices, and equipment. Batteries enable us to use them without an electrical connection. But batteries, as we know, have limited capacity. Sooner we’ll have to plug our laptops, our phones, or replace our car batteries. Batteries have a predetermined lifespan as indicated by the manufacturers’ specifications. However, ...
