AU develops technology to store and give mobility … – Science Today

Reduce waiting times to load the car, overcome the limitations arising from the mains and enable business models arising from the storage of electricity, will be the distinctive features of this technology, being mobile, not only can meet the drivers who chose to an ecological car as well as carry out the electricity storage in any central renewable energy production.

DMAE will become an electric truck running energy storage, such as a tanker stores fossil fuel. Although dependent on the type and capacity of the batteries that are inserted into the DMAE, the idea is to be able to supply simultaneously ten electric cars in fast mode. That is, until ten vehicles will be at the same time to load 80 percent of the capacity of your battery, a number higher than currently to be found in sections of the national electric charging network. The total number of electric vehicles can be fueled by a load of DMAE depends on the energy you have stored and also the load condition of the vehicles, but on average the DEM points a DMAE can carry at least three dozen vehicles.

“The batteries inserted in the device are interconnected by a power electronic network, intelligently, forming a dynamic array of batteries,” explains José Santos. The researcher responsible for developing the management system and DMAE Control said that “the array is dynamic because the interconnections inside and links with the outside of the device are monitored and managed by the Management and Control System in real time.” DMAE can thus perform multiple functions with the energy stores.

The project, partially supported by a Valley Innovation, lasted a year and was developed in partnership with D2M-Energytransit company, it belongs to the patent of DMAE. Tests carried out by the prototype built in DEM lab gave results that meet the expectations of the company and confirm the innovative properties of DMAE.

The electricity storage is an old ambition of the electricity sector and, as explained by the DEM investigator “DMAE the concept of advantage, is the considerable storage capacity [up to 4 MWh for the best battery electric vehicles currently existing], is not the result of a large battery built from scratch, but the grouping of existing batteries” . The costs are so “notoriously inferior”.

Considering the association of DMAE concept with the swap model stations (existing in some countries), where the cars exchange the battery instead of waiting for loading partial, the modularity of the device gains greater advantage. By the rotation of the batteries inserted in it (in exchange for the station received in the swap) the lifetime of DMAE increases greatly, increasing its sustainability.

The drivers gain doubly, because they see reduced the time to reset total autonomy (estimated less than five minutes to exchange operation) and the reduction of the limitation of autonomy, leading concern for drivers.
