Optimizing energy and cost in renewable grid systems: An electrochemistry and control-based idea

摘要: BackgroundDespite progress made in materials and manufacturing processes that contributed to significantly reducing the cost of batteries over the years, lithium-ion batteries still account for a significant portion of the entire grid component costs [2]. Ad-hoc application-driven sizing and chemistry-based optimization hold the potential to significantly improve cost, performance, and usability. This can be achieved through the development of adequate models for design and real-time operational optimization.
