Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become a major choice for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems owing to their high energy density and high charging efficiency. While LIBs play a crucial role in meeting global energy demand, during long-term operation they undergo ... Read More
High average power lasers with increased efficiency are a crucial development required for achieving inertial confinement fusion as a viable energy source. For high average power, the thermal management and its influence on laser beam quality strongly effect the final focusability on ... Read More
In this paper, a 3D dynamic simulation for a portion of a metal hydride-based (LaNi5) hydrogen storage tank is presented. The model is based on heat and mass balances and considers coupled heat and mass transfer resistance through a non-uniform pressure and temperature sorbent bed. The ... Read More
The increasing demand for electrochemical energy storage (EES) in stationary applications underscores the urgent need for advanced battery technologies. Among these, zinc-based systems, particularly rechargeable zinc-air flow batteries (RZAFBs), are gaining attention due to their ... Read More
Metal hydride based thermal energy storage systems belong to the category of heat storage systems which rely on reversible thermo-chemical reactions to store and release heat. Specifically, these systems utilize metal/alloy hydride decomposition (endothermic) and formation (exothermic) ... Read More
Thermal runaway (TR) is a critical safety hazard in lithium-ion battery systems, particularly in large energy storage installations and electric transportation applications. TR occurs when the cell temperature exceeds a certain threshold value, triggering a series of exothermic ... Read More
Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage (LHTES) systems utilize a Phase Change Material (PCM) for storing Latent Heat Energy to be used for a variety of applications like Solar Thermal based Air Conditioning to handle the heating and cooling demands of buildings during peak hours. Our project ... Read More
Small-scale short-term thermal energy storage (TES) systems and large-scale seasonal TES systems have been the focus of many research projects. However, large-scale short-term TES units have not been covered in great depth, even though they play an important role by decoupling the heat ... Read More
The integration of a Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system in District Heating (DH) networks allows increasing the share of renewables in the energy scheme, but it requires a proper pre-design phase in which the modelling of the TES system is adequately driven. The main purpose of this ... Read More
A model for CO2 storage is presented. It is shown that the system is highly dynamic, i.e. results depend strongly on parameter disturbances and numerical features. However, a series of scenario calculations shows that there are invariants, most important: the duration of the early ... Read More
