Modelling the Broadband Impedance of a Lithium-ion Battery Cell Using the Pseudo-Random Impulse Sequence Perturbation Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries play a crucial role in seamlessly integrating renewable energy sources like wind and solar power into our electrical grids. Furthermore, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) powered by these Li-ion batteries counteract the inherent variability and unpredictability of renewable generation, significantly boosting the grid's reliability. In this research, Zandile Moyo under supervision of Dr Fredrick Mwaniki, uses System Identification (SI) and Parameter Estimation (PE) processes to model the internal impedance and behaviour of a Li-ion battery cell. This research is essential as batteries are becoming increasingly crucial in various industries, including electric vehicles, renewable energy, and portable electronics.

How is Solar Power Generated from PV Cells? A PV cell (can be called a solar cell) is a semiconductor device that converts sunlight energy into electricity without going through any energy conversion steps. This conversion takes place by photovoltaic effect and hence they are called Photovoltaic (PV) cells. It generates voltage and current at its terminals when sunlight incident on it. The way and the amount of power generated by a solar cell depend on the sunlight falling on it. This also includes some factors such as the intensity of light, the angle at which the light falls on it, and the area of the cell. The more is the power generated, if higher is the light intensity. If the area of the cell is more, the power generated is also more. The optimum power is generated by it when light falling is perpendicular to the front side of the cell. The solar cells are made with silicon semiconductor material and are treated with phosphorous and boron to make a thin silicon wafer. The wafer layers are then aligned together to make the solar cells, once they are doped. Irrespective of the technology and material used, every solar cell has two terminals (positive and negative terminals) to take the electric current from it. Typically, a solar cell consists of front contact at the top, PN junction in the middle, and back contact at the bottom. ~Part - 1 . #renewableenergy #solar #solarenergy #power #energy #powergeneration #greenfuture #greenpower #greenenergy #economy #technology #powertechnology #energytechnology

Experimental study of a #Concentrating #Solar spectrum splitting system for hybrid solar energy conversion The study introduces a new hybrid solar concentrator system that combines a dish reflector with a two-axis tracking system and an affordable optical linear system to divide concentrated solar beams into distinct visible spectral bands. The research includes experimental investigations, such as an optical analysis of the splitter system and an evaluation of photovoltaic and #thermal power generation from the prototype over a day with solar tracking. Results show that the splitter system achieved a 76% transmissivity within the 400–800 nm range with clear separation between spectral bands, indicating system reliability. https://lnkd.in/ddmTPe2R #CSP #concentrated

Highly sensitive measurement technique could greatly improve solar cells of the future With the growing demand for renewable energy, scientists are looking for ways to improve solar panels. Traditional silicon solar cells are nearing their physical limit, with an efficiency of about 23 percent. Perovskite solar cells, made from a semiconductor salt, promise a more efficient alternative for the future. Perovskite solar cells are currently still subject to processes that adversely affect efficiency. This is because some of the light particles absorbed by the solar cell are not converted usable power. #solartechnology #solarpower #solarcells #solarenergy #Solarupdates #solarenergie #solarinnovation #cleanenergyfuture #
