  • Publication number: 20220158189
    Abstract: A process produces a shaped organic charge storage unit, especially a secondary battery, the electrodes of which contain an organic redox-active polymer, and which includes a polymeric solid electrolyte. Compared to conventional folded charge storage units, the charge storage unit shows greater resistance to deformation, which is manifested in a lower drop in capacity and a reduced tendency to fracture in the shaping process.

  • Patent number: 9748775
    Abstract: A method providing control power for an electricity network in which at least one energy store supplies energy to the electricity network and/or takes up energy from the electricity network dependent on a frequency deviation from a desired frequency of the electricity network, a deadband being prescribed around the desired frequency. The frequency deviation from the network frequency is measured with greater accuracy than a width of the deadband and a bandwidth within the deadband is chosen dependent on a charging state of the energy store, with control power being provided outside the bandwidth. A device carrying out the method includes at least one energy store and a control system controlling control power of the energy store in an open-loop or closed-loop manner, the energy store being connected to an electricity network such that energy can be fed into the electricity network and can be removed from the electricity network.

    Abstract: A method and device providing control power for an electrical grid. An energy generator feeds energy to the electrical grid as necessary, an energy consumer takes up energy from the electrical grid as necessary, and an energy store is connected to the electrical grid for providing the control power. The energy store starting from a first time point outputs to the electrical grid at least a difference between power provided by the energy generator and a nominal power or takes up from the electrical grid at least a difference between the power taken up by the energy consumer and the nominal power. The energy store provides at least this difference between the nominal power and the power provided by the energy generator or the power taken up by the energy consumer until power of the energy generator or of the energy consumer reaches the nominal power at a second time point.

  • Publication number: 20120100428
    Abstract: The present invention relates to particles, which are suited as electrode material for the negative electrode of a battery functioning according to the principle of nickel-metal hydride batteries. In order to increase the power density of such batteries, it is desirable to use relatively small particles for the electrode material. However, said particles are sensitive to air and frequently highly flammable. The invention therefore proposes to provide said particles with a coating made of an organically modified (hetero) silicic acid polycondensate. In the presence of the KOH electrolyte solution, said coating converts during operation into a gel electrolyte, which not only does not impede the passage of the ions necessary for the activity of the battery, but even facilitates it.
