In the present study, a model of a large Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) battery for use in the simulation of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) is developed. To attain this goal, an Equivalent Circuit (EC) consisting of a series resistor and two RC parallel networks is considered. The accuracy and the response time of the model for use in an HEV simulator are studied. The battery parameters identifica...

Spent biomass of different seaweeds such as Sargassum wightii, Turbinaria conoides, Padina tetrastomata and Ulva lactuca were evaluated for the nutritional benefits in aqua feeds. Basic nutritional value, of seaweeds contains a number of pigments, defensive and storage compounds, and secondary metabolites that could have beneficial effects in farmed fish. Only a small fraction of algal species ...

The study of the battery charge process as the only power storage agent in off-grid systems is of significant importance. The battery charge process has different modes, and the battery in these modes is dependent on the amount of charge. In order to charge the battery in off-grid systems, two charge controllers including Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) are c...

Abstract The prosperity of the lithium‐ion battery market is dialectically accompanied by depletion corresponding resources and accumulation spent batteries. It an urgent priority to develop green efficient recycling strategies for helping ease environmental pressures at current stage. Here, we propose a mild lithium extracting strategy based on potential controllable redox couples. Active in w...

The use of mobile devices is often limited by the capacity of the employed batteries. The battery lifetime determines how long one can use a device. Battery modeling can help to predict, and possibly extend this lifetime. Many different battery models have been developed over the years. However, with these models one can only compute lifetimes for specific discharge profiles, and not for worklo...

The prediction of thermal behavior is essential for an efficient initial design management systems which equip energy sources based on electrochemical cells. In this study, the surface temperature various cylindrical types Li-ion batteries monitored at multiple points during discharge. Three different battery chemistries and two sizes (18650 21700) are considered in allowing comparison influenc...
