    BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE PILANI, HYDERABAD CAMPUS

    Course: Energy Storage Systems (ECE/EEE/INSTR F428)


    End-Semester Examination (Session: 2022-23)
    Total Marks: 70 Time duration: 180 Minutes

    1.
    a. Explain the production of electricity from a Fuel cell through a neat process flow
    diagram. Show clearly the process of energy source(s) to fuel conversion also. 5M

    b. Draw the electrical characteristics (Voltage vs. Current density) of a Fuel cell and show
    different regions of operation. (3+3) = 5M

    c. A pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) system has following specifications;


    Height of the water head from the lower reservoir = 70 m
    Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s2
    Density of water = 1000 kg/m3
    Determine the volume of water (Litre) required in the upper reservoir to store potential
    energy of 1.5 MWh, during off-peak period.
    During peak period, the PHES supplies electrical energy to the utility grid through
    generator having efficiency 88% and a step-up power transformer having efficiency of
    91%. If the PHES turbine efficiency is 92%, and the Kinetic energy generated at
    Turbine output is 1.3 MWh, then compute the efficiency of PHES in generating mode.
    (2+3)= 6M
    d. A Compressed Air Energy Storage system has the following specifications;
    Turbine efficiency = 86%
    Generator efficiency = 88%
    Determine the energy output for the system considering;
    Air mass flow rate = 50 g/sec
    Total mechanical work done per unit mass generated = 1000Wh/kg
    Time consumed to completely exhaust the reservoir at full output power = 3 hrs
    4M
    (5+5+6+4)= 20M

    2.
    a. Draw the Liquid-Immersion based cooling system for Li-ion battery pack with neat
    levelling and describe the working principle. (4+2) = 6M

    b. Explain the operation of a Parallel Aquas (water based) thermal energy storage system
    with a neat diagram and levelling. Show the direction liquid flow. 4+2 = 6M
    c. Describe the 6-stage charging of Li-ion battery with suitable charging profile and
    sequence of operations in tabular form. 3+2=5M

    d. With a neat diagram and levelling the Power Electronic interfacing zone, Battery
    system zone and Ventilation zone of a Li-ion battery pack, describe its Thermal
    management scheme. 5+3 =8M
    (6+6+5+8) = 25M

    3.
    a. Draw the schematic block diagram for interfacing a battery-supercapacitor hybrid
    storage with solar PV source, supplying an AC load in off-grid mode. Neatly distinguish
    the power lines, control lines and communication lines in the diagram.
    (5+3) = 8M
    b. A supercapacitor having maximum per cell voltage of 3.5 Volts, Nominal cell voltage
    of 3 Volts. The energy stored is used to drive a motor of “pick and place manipulator”
    for lifting a container at a height of 0.5 meters, the container mass is 500 gm.
    Determiner the capacitance (mF) of the supercapacitor storage. Assume ‘g’ = 9.81 m/s2

    3M
    c. From the above information and findings, obtain the usable energy stored in the
    supercapacitor for the discharge factor of 0.3
    2M
    d. If the charge/discharge current is 10A, time required to complete one operation is 5
    minutes, power dissipated is 50 Watt, then compute the ‘ESR’ in (Ω) and the charging
    cycle efficiency of the said supercapacitor.
    3+5 = 8M
    e. Calculate the round-trip efficiency of the supercapacitor from the above information.
    4M
    (8+3+2+ 8+4) = 25M
