Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, with the advances in electrified transportation and development in smart grids, the markets for Battery Energy Storage (BES) system for large-scale stationary applications and for vehicles have grown rapidly. Such devices and systems help facing the problem of intermittency of renewable sources in smart grids, supplies electrified vehicles with increasing performance, and enables energy exchanges between smart grids and vehicles.

BES solutions are useful both for short and long time-scale energy storage, thanks to their site versatility, modularity, scalability, and ease of operation. Their widespread use is enabled by interface power converters, and their performance and lifetime is improved by adopting adequate monitoring, diagnostic, prognostic and control strategies, implemented on the management systems that supervise their operation.

This Special Issues focuses on technologies of battery energy storage, such as rechargeable batteries and flow batteries for stationary and vehicular applications.

The topics of interest related to BES systems include, but are not limited to:

  • BES modeling, state estimation and parameters identification
  • BES management systems (BMS, EMS)
  • BES diagnostics
  • BES online testing (e.g., electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, incremental capacity)
  • BES interface power electronics,
  • BES charging
  • Experimental investigation offline on BES devices with particular reference to Redox Flow Batteries (RFBs) and Li-ion batteries.
  • Multi-physic multi-dimensional models of singles components and stack of RFBs and Li-ion batteries.
  • Design of BES systems for microgrids
  • Technical and economic assessments of BES systems
  • Electric vehicles with electrical prolusion powered by batteries
  • Waterborne vehicles with electrical prolusion powered by batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have emerged as the most commercialized rechargeable battery technology. However, their inherent property, called thermal runaway, poses a high risk of fire. This article introduces the “Battery Immersed in Fire Prevention Material (BIF)”, the immersion-type battery in which all of the LIB cells are surrounded by a liquid agent. This structure and the agent enable active battery fire suppression under abusive conditions while facilitating improved thermal management during normal operation. Abuse tests involving a battery revealed that the LIB module experienced fire, explosions, and burnouts with the target cell reaching temperatures of 1405 °C and the side reaching 796 °C. Conversely, the BIF module exhibited a complete lack of fire propagation, with temperatures lower than those of LIBs, particularly 285 and 17 °C, respectively. Under normal operating conditions, the BIF module exhibited an average temperature rise ~8.6 times lower than that of a normal LIB. Furthermore, it reduced the uneven thermal deviation between the cells by ~5.3 times more than LIB. This study provides a detailed exploration of the BIF and covers everything from components to practical applications. With further improvements, this technology can significantly enhance fire safety and prevent the thermal degradation of batteries in the real world. Full article

Among lithium-ion battery diagnostic tests, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, being highly informative on the physics of battery operation within limited testing times, deserves a prominent role in the identification of model parameters and the interpretation of battery state. Nevertheless, a reliable physical simulation and interpretation of battery impedance spectra is still to be addressed, due to its intrinsic complexity. An improved methodology for the calibration of a state-of-the-art physical model is hereby presented, focusing on high-energy batteries, which themselves require a careful focus on the high-frequency resistance of the impedance response. In this work, the common assumption of the infinite conductivity of the current collectors is questioned, presenting an improved methodology for simulating the pure resistance of the cell. This enables us to assign the proper contribution value to current collectors’ resistance and, in turn, not to underestimate electrolyte conductivity, thereby preserving the physical relation between electrolyte conductivity and diffusivity and avoiding physical inconsistencies between impedance spectra and charge–discharge curves. The methodology is applied to the calibration of the model on a commercial sample, demonstrating the reliability and physical consistency of the solution with a set of discharge curves, EIS, and a dynamic driving cycle under a wide range of operating conditions.

The operating temperature of a battery energy storage system (BESS) has a significant impact on battery performance, such as safety, state of charge (SOC), and cycle life. For weather-resistant aluminum batteries (AlBs), the precision of the SOC is sensitive to temperature variation, and errors in the SOC of AlBs may occur. In this study, a combination of the experimental charge/discharge data and a 3D anisotropic homogeneous (Ani-hom) transient heat transfer simulation is performed to understand the thermal effect of a novel battery system, say an aluminum-ion battery. The study conducts a turbulence fluid dynamics method to solve the temperature distribution of the battery rack, and the entropy generation method analyzes the heat generation of AlB during the charging/discharging process. The AlB is modeled by a second-order Thevenin equivalent circuit to estimate the status of the battery. An extended Kalman filter is applied to obtain the accurate SOC for monitoring the battery cell. The current study conducts the Galvanostatic Intermittent Titration Technique (GITT) on aluminum-ion batteries under different operation temperatures: 25 °C, 40 °C, 60 °C, and 80 °C. According to the sensitivity analysis of the SOC, the temperature sensitivity tends to or greater than one, ST≥1, while the operation temperature is above 40 °C, and the SOC modification of EKFtmep estimator improves the battery state of charge in the error range below 1%.
