Lithium Sulfur

Lithium sulfur (Li-S) battery has higher theoretical and experimental specific energy. There- fore, Li-S battery is the most capable energy storage option for electrical vehicles and power grid. However, it has life cycle issue to prevent its usage in electrical vehicles. Li-S battery need to im- prove life cycle issue in order to work with current battery applications. Li-S battery has complex chemistry and process to discharge and charge Li-S cell. The cost and manufacturing process of Li-S batteries will be one of the biggest challenge for commercial transformation from research and development stage. The Oxis Energy is developing Li-S battery for past 10 years and they have goal price US$250/kWh by 2020 with high volumes and more cheaper compare to lithium-ion battery.

The Cost

This work aims to minimize the cost of installing renewable energy resources (photovoltaic systems) as well as energy storage systems (batteries), in addition to the cost of operation over a period of 20 years, which will include the cost of operating the power grid and the charging and discharging of the batteries. To this end, we propose a long-term planning optimization and expansion framework for a smart distribution network. A second order cone programming (SOCP) algorithm is utilized in this work to model the power flow equations. The minimization is computed in accordance to the years (y), seasons (s), days of the week (d), time of the day (t), and different scenarios based on the usage of energy and its production (c). An IEEE 33-bus balanced distribution test bench is utilized to evaluate the performance, effectiveness, and reliability of the proposed optimization and forecasting model. The numerical studies are conducted on two of the highest performing batteries in the current market, i.e., Lithium-ion (Li-ion) and redox flow batteries (RFBs). In addition, the pros and cons of distributed Li-ion batteries are compared with centralized RFBs. The results are presented to showcase the economic profits of utilizing these battery technologies.

Lithium sulfur battery has become one of the promising rechargeable battery systems to replace the conventional lithium ion battery. Commonly, it uses carbon–sulfur composites as cathode materials. Biomass based carbons has an important role in enhancing its electrochemical characteristics due to the high conductivity and porous structures. Here, potato peel wastes have been utilized to prepare porous carbon lithium sulfur battery through hydrothermal carbonization followed by the chemical activation method using KOH. After sulfur loading, as prepared carbon–sulfur composite shows stable coulombic efficiencies of above 98% and a reversible specific capacity of 804 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at current density of 100 mA g−1. These excellent electrochemical properties can be attributed to the unique structure of PPWC showing mesoporous structure with large specific surface areas. These results show the potential application of potato peel waste based porous carbon as electrode’s materials for lithium sulfur battery.

This article discusses introduction of modern technologies to enhance electric grid storage. The New York investment firm Lazard released an analysis of energy storage technologies, based on the levelized cost. The analysis looked at two different common battery chemistries—lithium-ion and lead-acid—as well as flow batteries. Lazard analyzed the cost of ‘behind the meter’ applications, such as battery backups for residential solar systems or businesses trying to save demand at peak times. Lazard expects lithium-ion storage prices to continue dropping over the next 5 years. It is expected that the cost of storage may soon become cheap enough to make the spotty service of wind and solar power an annoyance, not a deal-breaker.

Abstract This paper examines parameter estimation for Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) battery models from experimental data. Li-S batteries are attractive compared to traditional Lithium-ion batteries, thanks largely to their potential to achieve higher energy densities. The literature presents a number of Li-S battery models with varying fidelity and complexity levels. This includes both high-fidelity diffusion-reaction models as well as zero-dimensional models that neglect diffusion dynamics while capturing the underlying reduction-oxidation reaction physics. This paper focuses on four zero-dimensional models, representing different possible sets of redox reactions. There is a growing need for using experimental data sets to both parameterize and compare these models. To address this, Li-S coin cells were fabricated and tested. In parallel, a sensitivity analysis of key model parameters was conducted. Using this analysis, a subset of model parameters was selected for identification and estimation in all four Li-S battery models.
