Energy Harvesting in a Fluid Flow Using Piezoelectric Materials

M. Curatolo [1], M. La Rosa [1], P. Prestininzi [1],
[1] Roma Tre University, Rome, Italy

Energy harvesting from a fluid flow using piezoelectric materials is a relatively recent topic that has been investigated experimentally and numerically [1, 2]. Its possible application in natural water currents represents an interesting strategy to easily harvest renewable energy from ... Read More

A Single Particle Thermal Model for Lithium Ion Batteries

[1]Department of Civil Engineering, Tennessee State University, Nashville, TN, USA
[2]Department of Mechanical Engineering, Tennessee State University, Nashville, TN, USA

COMSOL® "Single Particle Model for Lithium-Ion Batteries” (Model ID: 14527) is generalized to include an energy balance. This is accomplished by approximating the solution phase polarization as a function of current and temperature. The theoretical approach for this work is similar to ... Read More

Modeling, Simulation and Verification of Contactless Power Transfer Systems

J. Serrano [1], C. Carretero [1], J. Acero [1], I. Lope [1]
[1] University of Zaragoza, Zaragoza, Spain

This work presents the analysis of a wireless power transfer system consisting of two coupled coils and ferrite slabs acting as flux concentrators. The study makes use of Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations to predict the key performance indicators of the system such as coupling, ... Read More

Towards a Microscopic Model for Species Transport in Lithium-Sulphur Cells

Geraint Minton [1], Rajlakshmi Purkayastha [1], Laura O’Neill [1], Sylwia Walus [1], Mark Wild [1], Monica Marinescu [2], Teng Zhang [2], Gregory Offer [2],
[1] Oxis Energy Ltd, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK
[2] Mechanical Engineering Department, Imperial College, London, UK

Lithium-sulphur (Li-S) batteries have the potential to surpass the energy storage capability of Li-ion batteries due to their high theoretical gravimetric energy density of 2700 Wh/kg. However, the processes which drive the system behaviour are much more complex than those in a Li-ion ... Read More

Model Order Reduction using COMSOL Multiphysics® Software - A Compact Model of a Wireless Power Transfer System

J. Pico [1], T. Bechtold [1], D. Hohlfeld [1],
[1] University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany

This work presents the application of mathematical methods of model order reduction (MOR) for automatic generation of highly accurate, compact models for wireless power transfer systems. We apply a block two-sided second order Arnoldi algorithm to automatically compute a compact model, ... Read More

Parameter Extraction for a Field Weakening Operation Model of a PMSM

Simplified Multiphysics Model for All-Solid State Microbatteries

M.S. Nesro[1], I.M. Elfadel[1]
[1]Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Lithium microbatteries are replacing conventional power sources in many microsystems areas such as wireless sensors and biomedical monitors. In many of these applications, compact models of micro batteries are needed both at the microsystems design stage and at the real-time power ... Read More

Interface Phenomena for a Multifunctional Air-Water Micro-Particle Collecting and Filtering System

E. Lacatus [1], A. Tudor [1], G. C. Alecu [1],
[1] Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Romania

The confinement clean rooms used in industry are susceptible to higher count of particles per cubic meter of air after the usual work program. To decrease the economic and technological effects of particle concentration a micro-cleaning device was elaborated. A first approach of a 3D ... Read More

Stresses Due to Intercalation of Non-Spherical Lithium Storage Particles

R. Purkayastha[1], R. McMeeking[2]
[1]Cambridge University, Cambridge, UK
[2]University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA

Due to computational considerations most models of lithium storage particles in batteries incorporate spherical particles. However most storage particles used in battery electrodes tend to be irregular in shape with sharp edges and extended aspect ratios. The change of the relative ... Read More
