ALPBES - Advanced Lifetime Predictions of Battery Energy Storage

The Danish Vision of a 100 % fossil free energy supply based on a large degree of wind energy by 2050 requires development and implementation of storage technologies in the grid. In recent years, a large development has taken place in the area of lithium ion batteries whereas prices have dropped. The aim of this project is to investigate lithium batteries in different appliances which might sustain integration of renewable energy. This is done through research in estimation and prediction of life times of the batteries. The project explores how different working conditions in different applications affect the performance of the batteries. To design feasible systems, it is important to develop tools and models to be used in making precise assessments of a battery package and its life cycle. This is to ensure stable operation of stabilization applications to grids with many wind turbines, back up appliances and intelligent charging of electrical vehicles.
