Thermal batteries based on Li and Li-alloy anodes are the current mainstay power sources for military applications (e.g., missiles and bombs) and for nuclear weapons because of their inherent almost indefinite storage life, high reliability, and high-power capabilities.
Thermal batteries are primarily used in military and space applications requiring a one-time use power source. Thermal batteries are ideal suited for military application due to their maintenance-free, long shelf life and high power that can operate in extreme temperature ranges and climates.
Although the extended shelf life of the thermally activated batteries could fit very well with the long system idle time or “hibernation” required in seasonal storage applications, there are several pitfalls to using thermally activated batteries for energy storage applications.
On a cold day, the thermal battery unit can quickly store and release sufficient heat to power a passenger vehicle at cruising speed for an hour. The battery can hold about 100 Wh/kg and deliver 30 W/kg. Storage density is comparable to lithium-ion batteries; however, power density needs improvement.
Thermal energy storage could connect cheap but intermittent renewable electricity with heat-hungry industrial processes. These systems can transform electricity into heat and then, like typical batteries, store the energy and dispatch it as needed. Rondo Energy is one of the companies working to produce and deploy thermal batteries.
The novelty is mainly on the integration and optimization of heating and cooling modes in the thermal management of battery module, with emphasis on the high heating energy efficiency. An experimental platform was built to implement the dual functions of both cooling and heating with TED.
