Mulamma, Sankar Kudumula (2017) Improving the design and modelling of NICKEL-IRON pocket plate battery. Coursework Masters thesis, University of Southern Queensland. (Unpublished)
Abstract
This Project progress report provides background and outline design and ongoing development of a Nickel iron pocket plate battery to produce a lower maintenance requirements and improved performance. Various methods are being investigated to build two new versions for a Nickel Iron battery, one of that includes gelled electrolyte including a new porous membrane separator for rapid wetting and allow high chemical and thermal stability.
From this another design with carbon fibre is possible where to the positive electrode to form a half dipole inbuilt capacitor can be added to potentially improve the batteries response time to large and rapid load increases. The ability of these designs is to predict reality is demonstrated by testing and
analyzing the results that are compared to the performance of a standard wet type battery, proves an overall improvement in the performance characteristics under variety of operating conditions.
