4

Applying power & energy experience to new markets

BAE Systems stationary energy initiative

• Primary Power – HybriGen™

– Remote Stand-alone or micro-grid connected power

• Facility Scale Integrated Energy Manager

– Commercial /Industrial power/energy management

• Large Scale Integrated Energy Manager

– Utility or large facility power/energy management

5

We believe vehicle energy storage technologies can be adapted & used

Energy Storage needs to scale for the application

6

Are the duty cycles compatible?

• Passenger Car-

– 5-7 days/week

– 1-4 hours/day

• Transit/Commercial Vehicle

– 5-7 days/week

– 12-20 hours/day

• Stationary Energy Application

– 365 days/year

– 24 hours/day

7

Duty Cycle cont’d - Electrical

• HEV

– kW / kW-hr ratio is high

– Many “micro” cycles

– Small SOC excursions

• PHEV / EV

– kW / kW-hr ratio is moderate

– Slightly fewer “micro” cycles

– Larger SOC excursions

• Stationary

– kW-hr / kW ratio is moderate to high

– ? SOC excursions moderate to large ?

– Wide application variations

SOC

• Simulations exist

• Some pilot data exists

• Field data will likely provide

significant corrections

Opportunities

• Research $$$$ in automotive market should elevate all technologies

– New Anode/Cathode materials

– Electrolyte chemistries

– Separator and packaging improvements

• New Large Manufacturing Facilities

– Manufacturing scale & innovations should reduce costs

– Stationary may require application specific types

• Performance & Life data on a massive scale

– PHEV’s & EV’s need to make it in the marketplace

– Hopefully some data becomes public

• Ton’s of Cheap, Used Batteries coming for stationary markets?

– HoHoHo or Bah-Humbug?

– “80% of initial capacity” model has potential issues

9

Challenges

• Energy : Power ratios are reversed between vehicle & stationary

– Larger problem with HEV batteries (currently most widely available)

– Less of an issue for EV applications

• Incompatible packaging requirements

– Vehicles: Unique shapes, tight form factors, harsh environments

– Stationary: Need easy access and serviceability, controlled environment

• Huge scaling problem

– 100’s to 1000’s of equivalent vehicle packs required for many envisioned

stationary applications

– Insulation, Creapage & Clearance on vehicle modules/packs may be

inadequate for stacking to high-voltages required for some stationary

applications

• PHEV’s & EV’s still need to become mainstream

– Wide spread, low cost availability of batteries will probably lag behind for

several more years

10

Summary

• Introduction and acceptance of more electric vehicle technologies will

clearly help the stationary/industrial energy storage marketplace

?and maybe the reverse?

• Storage technology & manufacturing improvements from vehicle

research will provide largest boost to stationary systems

• Vehicle battery systems are not likely to be a drop-in fit for most

stationary applications

• There is much work ahead to understand how stationary duty cycles

will affect vehicle battery systems

• Visions of limitless supply of inexpensive, used batteries from vehicle

marketplace are probably overly optimistic
