The storage of electrical energy has been important in the development of electrical technology since the beginning of the modern age when uses were found for electrical energy. Different types of batteries have been developed over the past 200 years or so. It can be said that without batteries most of what we do with electrical power could never have happened. We really need to thank all of the pioneers that helped develop battery electrical energy storage methods. They did more to move civilization to its present state than they could have ever imagined. So again, we say “Thank You” to these Engineers, Scientists, and Researchers who gave their time, and sometimes their lifetimes, to develop batteries.
This course covers a wide range of different battery types made available during the past two centuries. The foundations of battery technology will be addressed, including the first instances of static electrical energy being “captured,” the first “real battery,” dry cell batteries, wet cell batteries, lithium and lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors, to name a few. By engaging with the evolution of batteries through a brief timeline, the incredible advancement of this field is quickly apparent, and having an understanding of this growth will aid professionals as the field inevitably continues to advance.
The course material is presented illustratively, with equations presented without extensive derivation.
