Energy Storage in Mobile Applications
The relevance of electrochemical energy storages in mobile applications has increased significantly in the last years. Batteries are essential components in smartphones, power-tools and household applications and in most cases a significant cost factor. They have recently become of great interest in traction applications like in electric vehicles (EVs), trains for catenary free tracks or in maritime applications. The optimal battery storage systems in mobile applications can differ significantly in their dimension, usage profile, thermal stress and safety requirements. Accordingly, finding, developing and testing the most suitable solution for each individual application is an essential part of our research and pursued in a dedicated department.
