Development of sulfur-polyacrylonitrile/graphene composite cathode for lithium batteries
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-30)Rechargeable lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries are potentially safe, environmentally friendly and economical alternative energy storage systems that can potentially be combined with renewable sources including wind solar and ... -
Extensible Modeling of Compressed Air Energy Storage Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)There is a growing number of renewable energy sources that can supply power to the electrical grid. These renewable sources of energy are intermittent in nature and therefore the transition from using fossil fuels to ... -
Hybrid Electric Mobility: Design Considerations for Energy Storage Systems and Fuel Economy Optimization of Shared Semi-Autonomous Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-23)Recent trends show that consumers are shifting away from individually owned personal vehicles, and towards shared mobility solutions. Those who do own a vehicle are opting for those that are more fuel efficient and ... -
Impact of Distributed Battery Energy Storage on Electric Power Transmission and Distribution Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-07)The penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in electricity grids has increased worldwide over the past decade because of their decreasing costs, especially of Photovoltaic (PV) and wind generation resources with ... -
A Small-Scale Standalone Wind Energy Conversion System Featuring SCIG, CSI and a Novel Storage Integration Scheme
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-12)Small-scale standalone wind turbines provide a very attractive renewable energy source for off-grid remote communities. Taking advantage of variable-speed turbine technology, which requires a partial- or full-scale power ... -
Study of Electrical Grid Profile & Behavior and its Impact on Design and Operation of Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (A-CAES) Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-12)Integration of intermittent renewable energy, such as wind and solar, into the electrical grid results in risk of instability, increased cost (due to higher reserve and ancillary requirements), and inefficiency. In Ontario, ... -
