from chemistry to pack
After gathering lots of data on drones we thought it would be useful to pull together a simple drone power and energy estimation calculator. Plotting the average power demand, hovering demand and maximum power versus flight mass we start to see a relationship. OK, this is log-log and so lots of scatter. Hence: use this … Read more
Author: Anton Resing: The cathode electrodes in a lithium-ion battery are a composite of solid charge storing particles, a polymeric binder, and a conductive additive. Together, they are well dispersed in a solvent and spread like paint on a conductive substrate, an effective and pleasingly simple solution that works across various chemistries and cell designs. … Read more
A look at the numbers around 1 GWh of cells and what could you do with 1 GWh of energy. There are more equivalents for 1 GWh and 1GWh of cells, but hopefully this just helps put the unit into perspective. References Manufacturing Process In order to engineer a battery pack it is important to … Read more
In the simplest terms the usable energy of a battery is the Total Energy multiplied by the Usable SoC Window. The total energy is the nominal voltage multiplied by the nominal rated capacity. However, if you have been through the Battery Basics you will have realised that the battery cell and pack do not have … Read more
