Optimal sizing method for stand-alone hybrid solar–wind system with lpsp technology by using genetic algorithm
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).

Why do batteries fail
M. R. Palacín,A. de Guibert +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and techno-economical optimization for hybrid PV/wind system under various meteorological conditions
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).
Journal ArticleDOI
Rechargeable batteries with aqueous electrolytes
Fritz Beck,Paul Rüetschi +1 more
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.

Aging mechanisms and service life of lead–acid batteries
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.
