TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical law, based on results obtained from different experiments, has been developed to isolate the accumulator state of charge as a function of the maximum state-of-charge density at the test point and a proportionality constant, n.

TL;DR: In this article, the increase of the cycling efficiency in new lead-acid battery design is studied and the results have shown storage system size and cost could be reduced up to 15%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the separation of sodium nitrate from "caliche" and potassium chloride from "silvinita" was treated using the differential solubility method, and it was found that this solar pond application is feasible, and the cycling pond efficiency could be improved beyond the typical 20% at low operating temperatures.

TL;DR: In this article, the typical high capacity lead-acid batteries used in photovoltaic power plants for various discharge rates were compared with those obtained from low capacity elements, concluding in a slightly higher but much more constant efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid thermal and electric energy collection and storage system for solar application is proposed by transforming a conventional solar pond into a secondary activity cell, where the inert electrolyte (NaCl solution) has been partially replaced by active ones totally soluble on both oxidated and reduced phases.
