EL286 — Battery Energy Storage
EL 286 - Battery Energy Storage EL 286 - Battery Energy Storage The battery storage course introduces battery fundamentals such as capacity, SOC, DOD, charge/discharge, life cycle, and temperature dependence. It also introduces students to various types of batteries, battery construction, battery characteristics, electrical performance, maintenance, and safety. Battery charging/discharging addresses charge controller types, charging stages, load control, and termination points for overcharge/over-discharge protection. Battery storage applications in photovoltaic systems are introduced. Photovoltaic applications include PV system types, load analysis, solar resource analysis, battery bank design, battery-based inverters, and electrical integration. An overview of other energy storage technologies and the role of battery storage in this landscape is given. Course
