TL;DR: An optimal sizing method was developed to calculate the optimum system configuration that can achieve the customers required loss of power supply probability (LPSP) with a minimum annualized cost of system (ACS).

TL;DR: Batteries go bad, Palacin and de Guibert review such failures and suggest that, although often chemistry-specific, common causes can be found, ways to enhance battery lifetime, such as through improved battery management systems, which are needed for advanced rechargeable batteries.
Abstract: Battery failure and gradual performance degradation (aging) are the result of complex interrelated phenomena that depend on battery chemistry, design, environment, and the actual operation conditions. The current available knowledge on these matters results from a vast combination of experimental and modeling approaches. We explore the state of the art with respect to materials as well as usage (temperature, charge/discharge rate, etc.) for lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, and lithium-ion chemistries. Battery diagnosis strategies and plausible developments related to large-scale battery applications are also discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a technical-economic optimization study of a stand-alone hybrid PV/Wind system in Corsica Island, where the optimal dimensions of the system were derived based on the lowest levelised cost of energy (LCE).
378 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the current status of rechargeable battery systems with aqueous electrolytes and analyze their outlook for the future, concluding that metal hydride batteries might have the brightest future.

TL;DR: In the case of lead-acid batteries, major aging processes, leading to gradual loss of performance, and eventually to the end of service life, are: • Anodic corrosion (of grids, plate-lugs, straps or posts). • Positive active mass degradation and loss of adherence to the grid (shedding, sludging). • Irreversible formation of lead sulfate in the active mass (crystallization, sulfation). • Short-circuits.
