One important test for formation and grading of the lithium-ion battery is to confirm the performance of the battery while discharging battery down to zero volts. In this paper, a novel charge/discharge converter with zero-voltage discharge function is proposed. The proposed converter is able to discharge the battery until the voltage reaches to zero volts. The phase-shifted full bridge method is used to charge the battery and the current-fed push-pull method with bidirectional switches is used for the discharge. The ZVS turn-on is achieved in the charge operation and the ZVS turn-off in the discharge operation. The performance of the system is verified by the experiments using lithium-ion batteries.

A hybrid supercapacitor (HS) is an energy storage device used to enhance the low weight energy density (Wh/kg) of a supercapacitor. On the other hand, a sudden decrease in capacity has been pointed out as a reliability problem after many charge/discharge cycles. The reliability problem of a HS affects the early aging process. In this study, the capacity performance of a HS was observed after charge/discharge. For detailed analysis of the initial charge/discharge cycles, the charge and discharge curve was measured at a low current density. In addition, a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer was confirmed after the charge/discharge. A HC composed of a lithium titanate (LTO) anode and active carbon cathode was used. The charge/discharge efficiency of the first cycle was lower than the late cycles and the charge/discharge rate was also lower. This behavior was induced by SEI layer formation, which consumed Li ions in the LTO lattice. The formation of a SEI layer after the charge/discharge cycles was confirmed using a range of analysis techniques.

With the increase of consumption of new renewable energy, the use of Electric Double Layer Capacitor(EDLC) is being gradually widened as the next generation energy storage device. In order to expand the market of EDLC which is recently receiving a lot of attraction as a new promising area, development of a charge/discharge cycle tester to measure and test performance, is essential. Therefore, this research designed a circuit to measure capacity and internal resistance and a circuit to measure voltage maintenance properties, based on EDLC's basic charging/discharging properties so it is able to measure the state of charge and discharge at high speed. When evaluating performance characteristics, the 5[V]/100[A] prototype-EDLC charge/discharge testing system developed for this research showed ${\pm}0.1$[%] of accuracy of voltage and current measurement. It was also proved that the developed charge/discharge testing system for EDLC can be applied to the actual industry, when testing the entire system using a program produced for data monitoring and acquisition.

In this study, we intensively investigated the effect of conductive additive amount on electrochemical performance of organic supercapacitors. For this purpose, we assembled coin-type organic supercapacitor cells with a variation of conductive additive(carbon black) amount; carbon aerogel and polyvinylidene fluoride were employed as active material and binder, respectively. Carbon aerogel, which is a highly mesoporous and ultralight material, was prepared via pyrolysis of resorcinol-formaldehyde gels synthesized from polycondensation of two starting materials using sodium carbonate as the base catalyst. Successful formation of carbon aerogel was well confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and $N_2$ adsorption-desorption analysis. Electrochemical performances of the assembled organic supercapacitor cells were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge/discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. Amount of conductive additive was found to strongly affect the charge transfer resistance of the supercapacitor electrodes, leading to a different optimal amount of conductive additive in organic supercapacitor electrodes depending on the applied charge-discharge rate. A high-rate charge-discharge process required a relatively high amount of conductive additive. Through this work, we came to conclude that determining the optimal amount of conductive additive in developing an efficient organic supercapacitor should include a significant consideration of supercapacitor end use, especially the rate employed for the charge-discharge process.

The battery charge/discharge process, the final step of the secondary battery production process, requires real-time precision controls for improving both lifetime and performance of the battery cell. In this paper, we present embedded system design for precision control of the secondary battery charge/discharge production process using low power embedded processor based on embedded linux. This system receive charge/discharge command from the main server through ethernet. Compared to existing charge/discharge control system, our design makes low cost and precision control system possible.

리튬전지는 생산과정에서의 핵심인 화성공정에 의해 수명 및 성능이 크게 좌우되며, 화성공정을 처리하기 위해서 충방전 시스템이 필수적으로 요구되고 있다. 리튬전지 충방전 시스템의 특성을 해석하기 위해 일반적인 방법으로 시뮬레이션하면 충전동작과 방전동작에 엄청난 시간이 소요되고 메모리 용량의 한계로 인해 범용 PC로는 시뮬레이션이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 리튬전지를 저항-커패시터 직렬회로로 모델링하였으며 상태공간평균의 개념을 적용하여 리튬전지 충방전 시스템을 해석하고 시뮬레이션하였다. Simplorer를 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과 시뮬레이션 시간이 단축되어 범용 PC로도 3시간 내에 시뮬레이션이 가능해졌으며, 리튬전지 충방전 시스템의 정전류/정전압 충전 특성 및 정전류 방전 특성과 충방전 소요시간을 예측할 수 있었다. 또한 충방전 시스템을 구성하고 실험하여 리튬전지를 저항-커패시터 직렬회로로 등가화한 모델링의 타당성과 상태공간평균의 개념을 사용하여 해석하고 시뮬레이션한 방법의 유용성을 입증하였다.

The importance of rechargeable lithium cells has been emphasized. So a large variety of materials has been discovered and evaluated for use as reversible cathodes and electroyltes. This paper examines the charge/discharge properties and the charge/discharge cycling life of Li$_2$O-P$_2$O-V$_2$O$_{5}$Li cells. In audition, DTA tests were carried out on Li$_2$O-P$_2$O-V$_2$O$_{5}$ glass. As a result the best performance was achieved when 0.3Li$_2$O-0.1P$_2$O$_{5}$-0.6V$_2$O$_{5}$Li cells was mixed with SP270. that is discharge capacity of 240mAh/g have been achieved. In addition this battery exhibited good cycling performance. Considering these results we expected utilization of the Li$_2$O-P$_2$O-V$_2$O$_{5}$ glass as a cathode material in a secondary battery.y battery.

Performance degradation of a battery in 20 kWh energy storage system (ESS) under various operating conditions was studied. And energy saving of the ESS was also monitored by connecting with 20 kW photovoltaic (PV). PV-connected ESS saved 5~7% of energy consumption in 2013 compared to that without such system in 2012. As charge-discharge cycle increased, capacity decreased and the performance degradation was glaringly obvious after 40 cycles. And as charge and discharge rate increased, the performance degradation was more serious. After 50 charge-discharge cycles, a lot of degraded product was deposited on the surface of anode and cathode electrodes, and the cathode side was more contaminated. Therefore, in order to maintain the cell performance, it was more important to protect the degradation of the cathode side.
