Abstract

The lower Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) from wind and solar photovoltaics has enabled for greater integration of variable energy resources with energy storage tech-nologies such as larger centralized lithium-ion battery megapacks (with 1MWh total energy and 500V rating) to provide utility-scale services to grid operators. The daily cycling of standalone lithium-ion grid storage will reduce the battery cells' capacity due to several degradation mechanisms. A comprehensive physics-based Pythontm framework called Liionpack was developed to estimate these megapacks' remaining life and ageing. The study includes various degradation mechanisms coupled to the electrochemical-thermal model at the pack level. The effect of the inhomogeneities from cell-to-cell thermodynamic and kinetic properties for different working conditions including temperature and charge/discharge protocols on the ageing of a megapack are presented here.
