Integration of C&I Battery Storage in Heavily Loaded Distribution Grids
Matthias Vetter, PhD, Department Head, Electrical Energy Storage, Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE
Integration of battery storage in commercial and industrial sites offers various business cases such as increasing PV self-sufficiency, peak shaving, time-of-use energy cost management, and meanwhile even arbitrage. Furthermore, they can offer services for heavily loaded distribution grids, for instance, caused by increasing numbers of charging stations for electric passenger cars and commercial vehicles. In this context, innovative energy management systems with sophisticated operating control strategies for such multi-use concepts play a central role in securing technical performance in terms of safety, reliability, and efficiency as well as in optimizing the revenue streams of the battery storage investment.
DC-Coupled Plus Storage: A Guide to Maximizing Production and Profit with a DC-DC Converter
Rolando Mattar, Segment Manager, Renewables - Clean Energy, Dynapower
Traditional storage plus solar (PV) applications have involved the coupling of independent storage and PV inverters at an AC bus, or alternatively the use of multi-input hybrid inverters. Here we will examine how a new cost-effective approach of coupling energy storage to existing PV arrays with a DC-to-DC converter can help maximize production and profits for existing and new utility-scale installations. This new approach leads to higher round-trip efficiencies and lower cost of integration with existing PV arrays, and at the same time opens up new use cases and revenue streams not possible with traditional AC-coupled solar plus storage.

Safety Testing of Two Flow Battery Chemistries
Judith Jeevarajan, PhD, Vice President and Executive Director, Electrochemical Safety Research Institute, UL Research Institutes
The Electrochemical Safety Research Institute (ESRI) has carried out research in the area of flow batteries. Two different flow battery chemistries, namely, the vanadium system and the Zn/Bromine system have been studied to characterize the performance and the safety. The major focus is on the safety of these systems under off-nominal conditions such as overcharge, over-discharge, and external short circuit. The results of the studies for both systems will be presented.
A Sub-Millimeter Tubular Flow Battery Cell with Ultra-High Volumetric Power
Nian Liu, PhD, Assistant Professor, School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology
This presentation introduces a sub-millimeter, bundled microtubular (SBMT) flow battery cell configuration that significantly improves volumetric power density of flow battery cell stack by reducing the membrane-to-membrane distance by almost 100 times and eliminating the bulky flow distributors completely. The SBMT cell is compatible with virtually all redox chemistries and represents a device-level innovation to enhance the volumetric power of flow batteries and potentially reduce their size and cost.
Novel Metal Complex Catholytes for Aqueous Redox Flow Batteries
Yu Zhu, PhD, Professor, Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering, University of Akron
The limited availability of a high-performance catholyte has hindered development of aqueous organic redox flow batteries (AORFB) for large-scale energy storage. Here we report iron complexes with 2,2’-bipyridine-4,4’-dicarboxylic (Dcbpy) acid and cyanide ligands. A symmetry-breaking design strategy leads to dramatically enhanced solubility (up to 1.22 M) even with bulky organic ligands. The redox potential of the complex could be easily adjusted by combining two ligands, leading to a tunable redox potential for the catholyte. This work demonstrated a high-performance AORFB catholyte and a general strategy for designing metal complex materials for future high-energy-density AORFBs.

If a Lithium-ion Cell Can Operate for More Than 6 Months at 85°C How Long Can It Last at Ambient Temperature?
Jeff Dahn, FRSC, PhD, Professor of Physics and Atmospheric Science, NSERC/Tesla Canada Industrial Research Chair, Canada Research Chair, Dalhousie University
In a few of our recent papers, we have presented Li-ion cell designs with liquid electrolytes that give astounding lifetime at temperatures as high as 85°C. In fact, we have been testing these cells now at 100°C and they are operating well for more than one month so far. I will discuss what is required to make such awesome cells and then consider what their lifetime at ambient temperature might be. I will show that the energy density of these cells is very reasonable and that Co-free moderate-nickel designs also work equally well.
