Methodology Development for Batteries Performances Analysis

Electrical and Electronic Engineering

The necessity for storage is a response to economic, environmental, geopolitical and technological considerations. Technically and technologically, the actors of the energy sector produce energy and control the production devices without difficulty with well-defined margins. However, the entire scientific community is confronted with problems related to energy storage systems. Among the existing types of storage systems, electrochemical batteries seem adequate in developing countries. In order to optimize the energy efficiency of a small power plant based on renewable energy sources to meet human needs, this work highlights the analysis of electrochemical batteries by their intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics. For this purpose, the technical characteristics and materials of the components of existing batteries will be identified with their respective performance criteria. This analysis allows the identification of the most efficient type of battery with respect to the constitutive elements as well as their technical elements for the purpose of optimization in relation to the needs. This identification is carried out using an original methodological approach based on the "multicriteria decision matrix" or MDM. The developed approach could be used as a tool to help the energy optimization of production plants aiming at the energy transition.
