The gel electrolytes were prepared with sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, where hydrophilic fumed silica was used as a gelling agent. The influences of gel electrolyte on performance of the valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries were investigated employing capacity tests, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The initial capacities of the sulfuric gel VRLA batteries were higher than that of phosphoric gel VRLA batteries. The sulfuric gel VRLA battery using 1.210 specific gravity of sulfuric acid with hydrophilic fumed silica exhibited the highest capacity of 0.828Ah. In the impedance measurements, the ohmic and charge transfer resistances for the phosphoric gel VRLA batteries were higher thanthat of sulfuric gel batteries. The morphology of electrodes of phosphoric gel VRLA batteries were more deteriorated in the SEM image.

본 연구에서는 차량용 12 V 납축전지로 주로 사용되는 VRLA (Valve regulated lead acid) 배터리의 충/방전 특성과 노화에 따른 이의 변화를 수학적으로 모델링하였다. 기존에 리튬 이온 배터리의 거동 예측에 주로 이용되어 왔던 수학적 모델링 기법을 상용 70 Ah VRLA 배터리에 적용하였다. 정전류 충/방전에 따른 전압의 변화를 모델링 결과와 비교하였다. 비교 결과로부터 사용된 수학적 모델이 납축전지에도 높은 정확도로 적용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이를 이용하여 납축전지의 노화를 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Battery is one of the emergency power and its reliability is a very important to keep up the minimum of building capabilities in case of interruption of electric power. This paper, a comparison was made between three different types of instrument on 30 valve regulated lead acid(VRLA) TYPE 12[V]/100[AH] batteries, and then their indicated measured values(impedance/conductance) were compared with the measured capacity of the battery. As a result, Measured value of instrument is strongly related to battery's capacity in the same group battery and Impedance/Conductance guide line for diagnosis of lead-acid battery's state of health(SOH) is a different from each battery guoup.

The capacity and long life of gel electrolyte batteries is connected with gas recombination producting $PbO_2$ and Pb electrode. We prepared with sulfuric acid gel electrolyte to know gel characteristics per density to assemble valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. We studied on actions of sulphuric acid gel electrolyte by measuring electrolyte dispersion using Brewster-angle microscope (BAM), charge-discharge cycle, and electrode structure using scanning election microscope (SEM). Sulphuric acid density 1.210 showed excellent gel dispersion in sol condition, electrode condition after fifty cycles in this study.

This paper deals with implementation of the laboratory-scale microgrid using energy storage system. Also, this paper develops a simulation model of the microgrid with same parameters on the laboratory-scale microgrid using PSCAD/EMTDC. The experimental results show good agreement with the simulation results. This shows the validity of the simulation model. A valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery is used to store energy. Energy storage system with fast response is able to maintain power quality of sensitive load within the microgrid.

본 연구에서는 겔식 VRLA (valve regulated lead acid번지의 충전상태(SoC) 판단을 위해 임피던스 기법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 임피던스는 VRLA전지 (2V/1.2Ah)의 다양한 충전상태에서 진폭 10mV로 100kHz에서${\sim}$10mHz까지 측정하였다. 측정된 임피던스 데이터로부터 등가회로를 유도하고, CNLS (Complex Non-linear Least Squares) 법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 양극 쪽의 전하전이 저항과 전기이중층 커패시턴스가 음극보다 높았다. 겔 저항은 충전상태가 감소함에 따라 증가하며 이는 VRLA 전지의 충전상태를 판단하는데 중요한 파라미터임을 확인하였다.

튜브식 양극판과 겔전해액을 사용한 VRLA (valve regulated Iead-acid) 전지에 있어서 양극 활물질 (active material)의 충전 밀도에 따른 충 방전 싸이클 특성을 고찰하였다. VRLA전지에 사용된 양극 활물질의 밀도는 각각 3.2g/mL, 3.4g/mL 및 3.6g/ml 이었다. VRLA전지는 IU 방식 ($I_{max}=0.2C_{10}/10$, 상한 전압 2.40 v/cell)의 충전과, D.O.D 100%/C5의 방전 방법으로 충 방전 싸이클 수명 시험을 실시하였다. 시험은 $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$의 항온항습기에서 실행하였다. 시험 결과 활물질 밀도별 VRLA전지의 초기 용량은 밀도와 무관하였다. 즉 3.4g/mL에서 가장 우수하였고, 3.6g/mL에서 가장 낮았다. 충 방전 싸이클에서의 특성은 3.6g/mL인 전지는 3.4g/mL와 거의 유사하였고, 3.2g/mL보다는 크게 우수하였다. 또한 VRLA 전지의 수분고갈 및 열화는 양극 활물질의 충전 밀도가 높을수록 적었다. 이상으로 충 방전 싸이클용 VRLA전지의 양극 활물질의 밀도는 3.4~3.6g/mL이 적절한 것으로 판단되었다.

The flooded type battery is used for solar lighting system. Because the characteristic of flooded type battery is the short life time, the maintenance cost is high. So the using flooded type battery in this system is inappropriate. The valve regulated lead acid batter.(VRLA) is the maintenance free and cycle service purpose. This paper presents the development of control system and monitoring system to applied VRLA battery for maintenance free and long life time in system.

In this study, positive plates of lead acid battery of Pb-Ca alloy and Pb-Ca-Sn alloy were fabricated and the mechanical characteristics of positive plates were measured. This study observed how the changes of content of Ca & Sn affect interface corrosion which is located in between grid & active materials and lead acid batteries as well. The mechanical characteristics of grid alloy is better when Ca is 0.05 wt.% then 0.1 wt.%. This study said that the corrosion rate between the active material based on the charge/discharge cycle of lead acid battery and grid interface is much faster than a grid which contains Sn. And furthermore, according to the study the rate 30 of Sn/Ca which is added to grid shows the best performance.
