NaS Batteries For Grid6h at 1MW • 1 Operating temperature 300 to 350o C
Some Limits On Batteries • 1. Depth of Discharge. • A. Car Batteries limits to 25% Life 10yr • At 50% cut life in half. Strengthen with Ca • B. For solar cells need 50 to 80% This means thicker electrodes bigger space between electrodes. Sb • C. Over charging leads to H2O→ 2H2 +O2 • D. Capacity depends on rate of charging and discharging. • E. Temperature dependence lower capacity at low temperatures
State of Charge • 1. Internal resistance increases as the battery is discharged or with state of charge • 2. This makes it hard to calculate watt hours. • 3. Change to ampere hours and P= Vx I • 4. Specify in C= Ampere hour capacity • C/20 means capacity for full discharge over 20hr.
