This course is designed to provide a
comprehensive overview of battery science
and engineering, specifically focusing on
applications for renewable and sustainable
energy systems. The course will emphasize
topics such as materials, components,
systems, electronics, thermodynamics,
electrochemistry, kinetics, mass transfer,
heat transfer, and engineering-related
issues. Additionally, the course will include
a detailed examination of both traditional
and future battery technologies. Among
traditional battery technologies are
commonly used systems like lead-acid
batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries,
and lithium-ion batteries. The focus will be
on understanding the advantages and
disadvantages of these technologies, their
energy storage capacities, charge/discharge
processes, and environmental impacts.
Future battery technologies will encompass
metal-air batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries,
solid-state batteries, and innovative
solutions integrated with renewable energy
sources. Understanding aspects such as
energy storage efficiency, sustainability,
cost-effectiveness, and industrial
applicability of these technologies is a key
objective of the course. Overall, the course
aims to provide students with the
knowledge and skills necessary to
comprehend the fundamental principles of
battery technologies. It seeks to enable
students to develop solutions that align
with both current and future energy storage needs.
