Supercapacitor Applications

Biomass is the general term for organic substances derived from living organisms (plants and animals). Since, biomass is a renewable, sustainable, innovative, low cost and carbon-neutral energy source, the applications of nano-micro particles produced from biomass in electrochemical applications have emerged. A large number of carbon-based materials, such as featured activated carbon, carbon nanotube, C-dots, biochar, hybrid carbon-metal/metal oxide … etc. can be produced from divergent types of biomass. With the growing energy need in the world, supercapacitors have also developed considerably besides the energy generation and storage methods. The supercapacitor is an energy storage system that can work reversibly to provide high energy in a short time. In these systems, electrode structure and surface properties are crucial for energy capacity enhancement. In this sense, electrode modifications with the above-mentioned biomass-based nano-micro structures are widely used in supercapacitor applications.

Different Characteristics

Tremendous research works including nanofabrication techniques and crystal defect preparation approaches have been applied to enhance the capacitance of bulk materials. However, a comprehensive understanding of active sites in the reaction process is an enigma for all researchers. This work reported an environmentally friendly system with a basic polymerized ferric sulfate (BPFS) electrolyte and electroactive graphite electrode, which achieved high area capacitance and showed the different characteristics of active sites. This enhanced energy storage system shows the evidence that carbon materials are electrochemically activated as a result that active groups could react with iron groups in aqueous solutions. A high area specific capacitance of 12 F cm-2(1255 F g-1) is obtained in a mixed BPFS at 5 mV s-1 in a potential window of 2.1 V in a three-electrode cell. In an aqueous solution capacitor, a capacity of 4.8 F cm-2 at 30 mA from 0 V to 1.5 V is achieved at room temperature. It has the potential to develop a low-cost, high energy storage, and high safety system, which can be a lead-acid battery substitute.

Mno2 Electrode

The Zn/MnO2 battery is a promising energy storage system, owing to its high energy density and low cost, but due to the dissolution of the cathode material, its cycle life is limited, which hinders its further development. Therefore, we introduced agar as a microskin for a MnO2 electrode to improve its cycle life and optimize other electrochemical properties. The results showed that the agar-coating layer improved the wettability of the electrode material, thereby promoting the diffusion rate of Zn2+ and reducing the interface impedance of the MnO2 electrode material. Therefore, the Zn/MnO2 battery exhibited outstanding rate performance. In addition, the agar-coating layer promoted the reversibility of the MnO2/Mn2+ reaction and acted as a colloidal physical barrier to prevent the dissolution of Mn2+, so that the Zn/MnO2 battery had a high specific capacity and exhibited excellent cycle stability.

This paper describes a practical approach to the transformation of Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) into scalable and controllable DC Microgrids in which an energy management system (EMS) is developed to maximize the economic benefit. The EMS strategy focuses on efficiently managing a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) along with photovoltaic (PV) energy generation, and non-critical load-shedding. The EMS collects data such as real-time energy consumption and generation, and environmental parameters such as temperature, wind speed and irradiance, using a smart sensing strategy whereby measurements can be recorded and computing can be performed both locally and in the cloud. Within the Spanish electricity market and applying a two-tariff pricing, annual savings per installed battery power of 16.8 euros/kW are achieved. The system has the advantage that it can be applied to both new and existing installations, providing a two-way connection to the electricity grid, PV generation, smart measurement systems and the necessary management software. All these functions are integrated in a flexible and low cost HW/SW architecture. Finally, the whole system is validated through real tests carried out on a pilot plant and under different weather conditions.

Electrified Vehicles

In Electrified Vehicles, the cost, efficiency, and durability of electrified vehicles are dependent on the energy storage system (ESS) components, configuration and its performance. This paper, pursuing a minimal size tactic, describes a methodology for quantitatively and qualitatively investigating the impacts of a full bandwidth load on the ESS in the HEV. However, the methodology can be extended to other electrified vehicles. The full bandwidth load, up to the operating frequency of the electric motor drive (20 kHz), is empirically measured which includes a frequency range beyond the usually covered frequency range by published standard drive cycles (up to 0.5 Hz). The higher frequency band is shown to be more efficiently covered by a Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) which in this paper is defined as combination of a high energy density battery, an Ultra-Capacitor (UC), an electrolytic capacitor, and a film capacitor. In this paper, the harmonic and dc currents and voltages are measured through two precision methods and then the results are used to discuss about overall HEV efficiency and durability. More importantly, the impact of the addition of high-band energy storage devices in reduction of power loss during transient events is disclosed through precision measurement based methodology.
