Presentation Notes
SS : There are two types of batteries : Primary batteries have electrochemical reaction that supply power to devices. That means they are the power source themselves. Secondary batteries are rechargeable batteries that simply store and supply power to devices. These are not power source themselves. They are a storage that bring energy from a large generator to the devices. This is regardless of the genre of generator, which could be hydrocarbon base, renewable energies like solar or wind, even nuclear. The secondary batteries are the ones with phenomenal growth. Lead : Just a quick look at the various secondary battery technologies

Key Secondary Battery Technologies

Low self-discharge rate

Highest Energy Density(High power, low weight)

Strengths of Li Ion

Relative low toxicity

Little memory effect(Hence should never Be fully discharged norOvercharged)

Presenter
Presentation Notes
SS : Three key technologies over the last decade are Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride and Li-ion. Amongst these, Li-ion is the most popular now because : It has the highest energy density – which means it can be smaller and lighter. Since its presence in the market, the energy density has hit 190 Wh/kg. According to Cadex Electronics (Vancouver), the industry makes 8-10% capacity increases every year (ie, doubling every ten years). Low self discharge rate Little memory effect – unlike its predecessor Nickel Cadmium, Li-ion batteries do not suffer from “memory effect”. That is, the battery does not have to be fully discharged before being recharged. In fact, if you fully discharge a Li-ion, and if the open circuit voltage goes below a certain threshold, the battery’s life will be shortened. They respond much better with constant recharges. Relative low toxicity �Addition : Drawbacks of Li-ion – lifespan depends on ageing from time of manufacture, usually more expensive and shortcircuit can cause ignition or explosion. Contaminants inside the cell can defeat the safety devices. Mid-2006 recall of approx 10 million Sony batteries was stated to be as a consequence of internal contamination with metal particles. Lead : Developments of Battery Technologies has reached a stage whereby it is able to meet the needs of green cars. Green cars has traditionally been crippled by battery technology.

Presentation Notes
“Plug in” means plug into an external electric source. SS : Currently, we have the familiar Internal Combustion Engines and green cars are usually refer to “Hybrid Cars”. Hybrids use energy from re-generative braking system to charge up 1.5KWh batteries. These are comparatively small Li-ion batteries that can power up auxiliaries like your air con, headlights and stereo. Moving forward, the idea of Plug In Hybrid Vehicles and Electric Vehicles – these are new developments that charges the batteries using an external socket. Batteries can be anywhere from 10KWh to 50KWh. These much larger batteries take over part or whole of the car’s main job, which is to move from point A to point B. Two drivers intensifies this movement – runaway oil price and increased environmental awareness.

Do we have reason to celebrate? Still Very Big

“The car's 900-pound battery…includes 6,831 lithium-ion cells, each about the size of a double-A alkaline.” - For Tesla’s Electric Vehicle

“The Volt's 300-poundbattery pack will be among its most-expensive components…may cost about $10,000…show the batteries will last 10 years.”- For GM’s Hybrid Car

Energy Density will set to improve

Presenter
Presentation Notes
SS : Energy density has improved vastly, more than doubling from the 90s to present day. For vehicle, depending on its battery capacity, the weight can still be very heavy though it is more manageable today than 20 yrs ago. Energy density can be varied via different materials and surface of anodes, cathodes and electrolytes. Essentially this is an electrochemical reaction in retaining and releasing energy. Where the industry is now at, the Energy Density will set to improve.
Page 10: Future Of Portable Power For Distribution

Do we have reason to celebrate? Still Pricey

New electric car is environmentally friendly, but pricey (CNN)The EV1 will sell for about $43,000 (2007 dollars), excluding the large battery charger needed…

GM Volt Cost Estimate UpApril 07, 2008The Volt came with a $30,000price tag when GM unveiled it at the North American International Auto Show last year. At this year's show, Lutztold us it could hit $40,000. Nowhe's saying it could hit $48,000…Cost will set to come down

Miles Rubin .. won't say how much it costs his company to make each Miles XS500, but experts peg the cost of the batteries at $25,000 (Forbes.com)

Tesla uses 6,871 lithium ion cells batteries. Total cost (wholesale) is around $20,000.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
SS : It is still very expensive. Again, price depends on capacity. EV Batteries are being pegged in the region of US$20-25K PHEV with its smaller capacity will be correspondingly less. Cost will set to come down.

SS : On a scale for car emission, we are now at : CNG and Hybrid cars (comparison in Green Car Congress Website). The emission has reduced but still some way from that offered by Plug in Hybrids and Electric Cars. Even Plug In Hybrids has its scale, for 20 miles, 40 miles, 60 miles, with its corresponding battery capacity. Plug in Hybrids for 60 miles indicate the need for a 26KWh battery. Reliance on hydrocarbon will set to come down. Lead : On the end of the car emission spectrum is electric cars. Is it possible?

Presenter
Presentation Notes
SS : Tesla, a start up in San Carlos – South of SF, has a working model that runs on Lithium ion batteries. As a corporation, Tesla has its own challenges. Nevertheless, the working model has the performance and trimmings of a sports car, despite being fully electric. Model is priced at US$100K and uses a 53KWH battery (twice the capacity of a PHEV60). Per charge can bring in more than 300 km. Battery life : 160,000km. In all counts, the technical specs of this car is ideal. Additional : GM has been working on green cars. One of its key technical person Al Cocconi joined AC Propulsion because he believed Li-ion batteries are the way to go. AC Propulsion is a battery company and they came up with tzero, an Electric Sports Car. However, AC Propulsion was not keen to go into auto making. Along the same time, Martin Eberhard noticed that people who are buying Prius are also owning porsches and lamboroginis. Hence, the motivation of buying a green car is to show that they care for the environment, not because of the cost of gas. So, he licensed the electric drive train from AC Propulsion and incorporated Tesla in 2003. He got Elon Musk (ex-paypal) into investing. Used the “Fabless” model – Lotus Elise chassis, AC Propulsion’ electric train and so on.

EV Batteries as regulator of Power GridThe Concept of Vehicle to Grid

When the car batteries needs power, electricity can be drawn from grid to charge the battery.

Excess power can also be sold to the electrical power grid by an electric-drive motor vehicle

• Most vehicles are parked an average of 95 percent of the time

• Capacity of Electric Car Battery 50 KWH – enough capacity to power 3 Spore households daily needs(based on 06/07 ave household monthly use of 500KWH)

10-50 KWH/car

A123 Systems plugs lithium-ion batteries into power gridJune 24, 2008 (news.cnet.com)A123 Systems has signed on electricity utilities to use its lithium-ion batteries for short-term energy storage, according to a company executive. Utilities need power for short periods of time--it could be as short as several seconds--to ensure that the power supply matches the demand.

Power to the People: Run Your House on a PriusSeptember 2, 2007 , NYTimesThis form of vehicle-to-grid technology, often called V2G, … in which fleets of cars, recharged at night when demand is lower, can relieve the grid and help avert serious blackouts.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
This idea of using EV Batteries as regulator of Power Grid – Vehicle to Grid, or V2G, has been a topic from academia for a while. The concept is simple: Most vehicles are parked 95% of the time. When the car batteries need power, it charges using the normal socket. If we have excess, we sell the power back. This concept has been hampered as battery capacity was too small to be of value. Things change now with a potential 10-50 KWH battery.

Presentation Notes
Last year, Pacific Gas demonstrated V2G at Google’s Mountain View campus. Electric Cars are already picking up in California. Using it as power supplement to the grid makes it quite a mindset breakthrough – not so much from the energy saving point of view, but from a environmentalist point of view. We see Sergey Brin of Google and David Vieau of A123Systems doing the usual photo shoots. The efficiency and capacity would still depend on the generation process – for example, efficiency of solar panels, which, over time, should improve tremendously. Batteries merely act as a convenient sponge to enable it. And when the breakthrough comes, a decentralised fleet of mobile storages can be useful to send the energy into the grid. Lead : So how much storage capacity would that be?
