Learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student should be able to:
- describe the main components in energy storage, and compare mechanical, electrical, electrochemical and chemical storage,
- describe in detail the different parts of the charging cycles and the effect on the lifetime of the energy storage as well as critically discuss this from different societal aspects,
- indepenetly collect information and in group analyze power and energy storage for the automotive sector,
- model and simulate energy storage units,
- compare different energy storage technologies and their applications from the perspective of their capacity, effeciency, storage- and response time.
Content
Energy storage technologies for electric vehicles and the electric grid (battries, fuel cells, super capasitors, flywheel and hydrogen). Charging and discharging of energy storage units (power electronics and control systems). Energy management systems and their performance. Efficiency of diffent types of energy storage, as well as combinations of power and energy storage systems. The limitations of their components and their resulting impact on ware and lifetime of those components. Testing and computer based modelling of energy storage units.
Instruction
Lectures and laborations.
Assessment
Written exam and laborations.
If there are special reasons for doing so, the examiner may make exceptions from the specified examination method of assessment and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
