Research project

Working title dissertation:

"Lebensdauer von Lithium-Ionen-Batterien für die dezentrale Speicherung regenerativer Energien: experimentelle Untersuchung und modellbasierte Optimierung." / "Life-time of lithium-ion batteries for decentralized renewable energies: experimental investigation and model-based optimization."

 

The insufficient lifetime of lithium-ion batteries is one major barrier for the market penetration of stationary energy storages. The goal of this work is to create a mechanistic model of lithium-ion batteries including all main ageing phenomena. Thereby, it is intended to consider several cell chemistries. Experimental validation as well as the literature is taken into account for the model validation. Thanks to this model, an optimized cell design and control strategy in order to avoid fast ageing could be derived. Therefore, the cooperation with other DENE-members is especially important by delivering the external demands for the battery.
