Design and operation of liquid metal batteries as large-scale storage option (Id 256)
No current offer!
In contrast to conventional batteries, Liquid Metal Batteries feature all liquid anodes (alkaline or alkaline earth metal), cathodes (transition metal or metal) and electrolytes (molten salts) at a temperature between 400 °C and 600 °C. For the operation of liquid metal batteries as large-scale storage option (frequency control and other applications), the design of the storage system and operation strategies (including a battery management system) need to be implemented and tested using exemplary load curves.
Starting point is an existing model of a battery system in Python.
Note: This is an offer suitable for a bachelor, master or diploma thesis or studentic internships.
