As we electrify our world, battery systems become ever more important for storing energy on small and large scales. This seminar will look at a couple of building-centric challenges related to maintaining battery systems. The first challenge involves properly venting hydrogen gas from an electronics cabinet containing lead-acid batteries and is addressed by physical modeling. The second challenge involves effective and efficient cooling of storage container of Li-Ion batteries both under steady-state and transient conditions and is addressed with CFD modeling.
