Sodium nickel chloride cell model for stationary electrical energy storage

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a reliable modelling of sodium-chloride battery in Simulink environment in order to have a powerful tool which is able to foresee the battery behaviour in both discharge and charge operations. The model is based on a wide set of measures (e.g. discharge and charge resistance for different depth of discharge and current rates, etc.). A comparison between the model results and real battery measures, in the same conditions, has been presented.
