Sodium-Ion Battery Performance for Microgrids: Pulse-Power
I am Karl Huang, a senior lithium battery engineer, and for the last three years a growing share of my bench time has gone to sodium-ion chemistry. The rea…
Sodium-Ion Battery Performance for Microgrids: Round-Trip
Over the past decade I have commissioned more microgrid battery systems than I can count — island resorts in Southeast Asia, mining camps in Inner Mongoli…
Battery Solution Performance for Robotics: Duty-Cycle,
When an autonomous mobile robot, an AGV, or a collaborative arm loses its shift to a low state-of-charge cutoff in the middle of a tote transfer, the root…
Lithium Battery Performance for Power Tools: An Engineer’s
Two packs sit on my bench this morning with the same label: 18 V, 5.0 Ah, 90 Wh. One rips thirty cuts through 2x lumber on a 6-1/2″ circular saw before the…
Sodium-Ion Battery Performance in Microgrids
Over the last two summers I have watched microgrid operators quietly add sodium-ion battery strings to their inverters, often as a second technology alongs…
Semi-Solid State Battery Performance for Storage
Over the past three years I have commissioned more than forty storage installations on three continents, from single-family garages in Germany to 200 kWh c…
