Abstract
The nickel-iron (Ni-Fe) battery is preferred more than any other batteries (Ni-Cadmium, Ni-MH) for its significant growth in its recent times especially Internal impedance and Depth of Discharge (3000-30,000 cycles). Ripple currents are the main factors affecting the life time of the battery. The Ni-Fe battery is being investigated for potential use in a number of applications including distributed energy storage, renewable energy transient smoothing energy storage and remote are power supplies.
A hybrid combination of Ni-Fe battery and Supercapacitors are implemented to investigate whether their always aid in battery life and performance in response to the various types of loads. The investigation also included the use of electrolytic capacitors as the alternative to the Supercapacitors for PWM inverter current pulse demands to benchmark its performance to that of the Supercapacitor.
(Simpowersystems) as the predicted theoretical results are analysed for both supercapacitor and bypass capacitors for use in hybrid battery and capacitor energy storage systems.
