Cycling batteries: charge and discharge

Unit 1: 8 Channels, 0-5 VDC, +-50 ADC, parallelable to +-200 ADC.

Unit 2: 16 Channels, 0-5 VDC, +-50 ADC, parallelable to +-200 ADC.

The Renewable Energy Storage Laboratory (RESL) at Dalhousie University conducts research on energy storage technologies to support the increased integration of renewable energy with the electricity grid. The demands placed on the electricity grid by the principal sectors (residential, commercial, industrial) vary throughout the day. Renewable resources such as the wind, sun, and tides vary independently of demand, and consequently require energy storage to bridge the gap periods.

The principal objective of the team is the development of reliable, efficient, and effective electricity storage systems. Current areas of focus include experimental battery systems, bi-directional charger/inverters, as well as models and simulation of renewable generators and buildings.
