Abstract

A Vanadium-Vanadium Redox battery can improve Photovoltaic system performance, reliability and robustness by increasing the energy conversion efficiency of the battery to 87%, by making the battery life, efficiency and ongoing energy capacity independent of state of charge and load profiles and by reducing maintenance requirements. High battery efficiency reduces the required PV while a battery life insensitive to battery usage relaxes system constraints. These advantages are utilised in a demonstration PV system in Thailand that w ....etc

Bacteria powered batteries use the chemical energy generated by bacteria, and convert it into electrical energy using a relatively simple mechanism. Like most batteries, a bacteria powered battery has an anode (the negative end) and a cathode (the positive end). In addition to the anode and cathode, a bacteria powered battery also has a membrane capable of filtering electrons (anions) and protons (cations) produced during the chemical breakdown of substances by bacteria.

BATTERY CHARGING
Introduction

The circuitry to recharge the batteries in a portable product is an important part of any power supply design. The complexity (and cost) of the charging system is primarily dependent on the type of battery and the recharge time. This chapter will present charging methods, end-of-charge-detection techniques, and charger circuits for use with Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal-Hydride (Ni-MH), and Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Because the Ni-Cd and Ni-MH cells are similar in ....etc

Nuclear Batteries-Daintiest Dynamos

Micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) comprise a rapidly expanding research field with potential applications varying from sensors in air bags, wrist-warn GPS receivers, and matchbox size digital cameras to more recent optical applications. Depending on the application, these devices often require an on board power source for remote operation, especially in cases requiring for an extended period of time. In the quest to boost micro scale power generation several groups have turn their efforts to well kno ....etc

With the ever-increasing demand for energy, we have to focus our attention on greener alternatives. The main problems with non-conventional energy sources are that they need storage. Flywheel batteries seem to solve this problem to a great extend. Flywheel energy storage systems are non-polluting; need no replacement and little maintenance. The basic working of flywheel batteries and their applications are discussed in brief. Flywheel batteries stores energy as rotational kinetic energy of the flywheel and this energy can be retrieved either th ....etc

Abstract
A non-destructive estimation of the state-of-charge _SoC. of batteries facilitates optimum utilization of the battery for a given application, as well as evaluation of its state-of-health. Among various methods, a.c. impedance spectroscopy over a wide range of frequencies provides a variety of parameters which are functions of the SoC of a given battery. These parameters and their variation with SoC depend on the type of battery and on the experimental conditions. The impedance data of sealed commercial cells are rather tedious to a ....etc

Abstract:
Piezoelectric materials can be used as a means of transforming ambient vibrations into electrical energy that can be stored and used to power other devices. With the recent surge of micro scale devices, piezoelectric power generation can provide a convenient alternative to traditional power sources used to operate certain types of sensors/actuators, telemetry, and ....etc
