Business Opportunities
The main benefits and outcomes of this invention are applied on negative plate Lead Acid battery:
Protection from overloads and high instantaneous peaks originating from regenerative braking systems and high power kWh chargers to the high-voltage batteries packs dedicated to supply power to the traction system of vehicles, once the lead-acid battery with the technology of the invention allows absorption of peak loads through pulses with efficiency of more than 90% in the energy to be stored, enabling gradual and smooth transfer to the high-voltage batteries.
The gradual transfer of the energy accumulated by the lead-acid battery to the high-voltage batteries packs destined to the traction of the vehicle, enables to boost the availability of energy without load peaks, increasing the high-voltage batteries packs durability and consequently its lifetime, beyond vehicle´s range.
In charging stations under intensive demand for recharging, it may lead to instability in the electric power supply. The invention associate to its feature to transform the lead acid battery in supercapacitive, allow that lead acid battery banks can be used for fast charging, mitigating the instability problems in the electric power supplied. Indeed, in addition to high power pulses, the supercapacitive characteristic increases the life of lead acid batteries when coupled with renewable energy sources.
