The Changing Landscape of Battery Storage

Robert Magyar • VARTA Storage GmbH

In the last several years, there has been tremendous media attention surrounding the potential for battery storage to play a significantly larger role within the public electricity grids both at the utility level and within the market-side ownership of Distributed Energy Resources. Much like 10 to 12 years ago, when the photovoltaic (PV) solar market was beginning to mainstream, today’s view of the battery storage market often appears complex and confusing. <read more>


 

 

White Paper

Using Fujifilm Prescale During The Manufacture and Test of Li-Ion Cells and Batteries
Sensor Products, Inc.

It is generally accepted that battery manufacturers reject over five percent of cells during manufacturing and testing. Two major causes of these rejects are cell leakage and failure of formation cycling and charge-retention tests. Leakage usually occurs when there are defects in the perimeter seals of cells or in fill tubes. Cycling and charge-retention problems are a result of defects in positive and negative electrodes. For economic reasons, all cell and battery manufacturers strive to eliminate these costly rejects. <read more>

Expanding Technology for Advanced Battery Applications & Fuel Cells

dexmetDexmet has taken the “Expanding Technology” to the next generation of advancements, the micro-mesh material manufactured by Dexmet is infinitely variable, and the proprietary equipment developed anddesigned at Dexmet produces expanded material with smaller holes than anyone else and produces material that is thinner than anyone else in our marketplace. The expansion process produces a very consistent product as far as open area, hole size and conductivity.

 

Dexmet expanded materials are perfect for Advanced Batteries Applications and Fuel Cells, especially where you are using multi stacks of materials and you need consistent conductivity from stack to stack also the expansion process is more cost effective unlike perforated material.

The expansion process allows you to yield higher amounts of material than what you put in, this is especially important when your application requires expensive materials like platinum, niobium, zirconium and titanium.
