Description
Industrial Applications of Batteries looks at both the applications and the batteries and covers the relevant scientific
and technological features. Presenting large batteries for stationary applications, e.g. energy storage, and also batteries for hybrid
vehicles or different tools. The important aerospace field is covered both in connection with satellites and space missions. Examples
of applications include, telecommunications, uninterruptible power supplies, systems for safety/alarms, car accessories, toll collection,
asset tracking systems, medical equipment, and oil drilling.
The first chapter on applications deals with electric and hybrid vehicles.
Four chapters are devoted to stationary applications, i.e. energy storage (from the electric grid or solar/wind energy), load levelling,
telecommunications, uninterruptible power supplies, back-up for safety/alarms. Battery management by intelligent systems and prediction
of battery life are dealt with in a dedicated chapter. The topic of used battery collection and recycling, with the description of specific
treatments for the different systems, is also extensively treated in view of its environmental relevance. Finally, the world market of
these batteries is presented, with detailed figures for the various applications.
Audience
For scientists working in academic or industry. Also accessible to technical people due to the large content of technological information
