  • Calcium salt for calcium batteries
    Patent number: 12046716
    Abstract: Disclosed is a calcium salt, Ca(HMDS)2, where HMDS is the hexamethyldisilazide anion (also known as bis(trimethylsilyl)amide), enables high current densities and high coulombic efficiency for calcium metal deposition and dissolution. These properties facilitate the use of this salt in batteries based on calcium metal. In addition, the salt is significant for batteries based on metal anodes, which have higher specific energies than batteries based on intercalation anodes, such as LiC6. In particular, a calcium based rechargeable battery includes Ca(HMDS)2 salt and at least one solvent, the solvent suitable for calcium battery cycling. The at least one solvent can be diethyl ether, diisopropylether, methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE), 1,3-dioxane, 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydrofuran (THF), tetrahydropyran, glyme, diglyme, triglyme or tetraglyme, or any mixture thereof.

  • Mismatch detection using periodic structures
    Patent number: 12034493
    Abstract: Mismatch detection using periodic structures is provided. Embodiments described herein can measure and detect mismatch between two loads in a radio frequency (RF) system without the need for external calibration by referencing their measurements into a small set of parameters that are intrinsic to the RF system design. This approach can be used to compare impedances of two loads and measure their impedances relative to each other without requiring any external calibration (e.g., the approach does not assume any prior known physical quantities in the system, such as a reference impedance). This approach can be used to compare the two loads to each other, as well as to quantify the amount of mismatch between these loads by calculating reflection coefficient between the loads. Loads can be passive devices, such as antennas, or they can be active devices, such as amplifiers.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PEAK-CLIPPING AND LOAD-SHIFTING ENERGY STORAGE DISPATCH CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR EVENT-BASED DEMAND RESPONSE
    Publication number: 20240213773
    Abstract: A system applies optimal peak-clipping (PC) and load-shifting (LS) control strategies of a Li-ion BESS at a large industrial facility with and without enrollment in the electrical utility company's event-based DR program. The optimally sized BESSs and discounted payback periods are determined for both control strategies with and without event-based DR enrollment. Additional optimization can be performed to reduce an environmental impact of using the BESS. Comparisons between the PC and LS control strategies' operations show that for the same sized Li-ion BESS with DR enrollment, the LS control strategy achieves more revenue in DR events and by leveraging the energy-price arbitrage.
