Abstract: Solar-led streetlight is a hotspot in photovoltaic lighting at present, it combines solar energy with HB LEDs (High Brightness Light Emitting Diodes) called the fourth generation of light source to improve the conventional streetlight in several aspects. Due to the clean nature of solar energy, and the highly efficient energy conversion of the PV module and very long operating life of the HB LED, the solar-LED streetlight, compared to traditional streetlight, can save electricity remarkably, thus abating greenhouse gas emission. During the photovoltaic lighting system, MPPT technology is generally used with the aim of maximizing the solar panel output power from beginning to the end. Therefore, if the controller combines MPPT technology with the traditionally constant-voltage charging technology, the charge efficiency will be greatly increased. While, for the discharge issue, people hope to modulate the brightness of streetlight so as to decrease the electricity consume.

Abstract: In the charge and discharge system of lead-acid battery, in order to ensure the normal operation of charge and discharge, and to prolong the service life of lead-acid battery, battery management system (BMS) must be built up for lead-acid battery. The battery management system detects each index of battery to prevent over charge and over discharge appeared. In this paper, the function of battery management system, detection of battery voltage and battery current are researched. The lead-acid battery management system is designed to achieve the purpose of real-time monitoring of the lead-acid battery.

Abstract: Photovoltaic panels (PF), combined with lead-acid battery (AE), are increasingly used, to produce electricity. To work in maximum power points, between (PF) and (AE) is interposed a static converter (DC-DC), which is a harmonic pollution source. Within the paper there are calculated the power losses, due to current harmonics, of a photovoltaic system working at its maximum power. Photovoltaic system works at its maximum power, if in the electronic system there is permanently voltage control among solar battery terminals.

Abstract: The hardware structure of a liquid level detection system for lead-acid battery was briefly introduced. The system adopts AT89C51 MCU as host module, combined with display storage, extended storage and the watch dog technology. The slave module adopts AT89C2051 MCU, which driver the linear CCD to realize non-contact measurement in acidic and corrosive conditions. The infrared transmission module uses RS-232 serial-to-infrared technology to realize wireless data delivery. The damage due to sensor corrosion could be avoided in this system. Compared with other similar equipments, this system has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, low cost, high measure precision and convenient maintenance.

Abstract: A promising applied technology on hybrid power system for electric vehicle was proposed in this paper. Considring the actual bus working conditions, a testing system of multi-stage pulse discharge was designed. The separated LiFePO₄ series, lead-acid battery and the paralleled battery pack, constituted by the lithium battery and lead-acid battery with equal capacity, were tested to compare the voltage and power characteristics, as well as temperature rise. The results indicate that the lithium-ion batteries provide momentary high currant at high rate pulse discharge while keeping the lead-acid stay at a higher state of charge and improving its cycle life. During the intermittent, spontaneous capacity redistribution is achieved in the paralleled system, which helps to relieve the potential polarization and avoid the over-discharge of lithium-ion battery. Systematic analysis of the paralleled system demonstrats that it is benefitial to the circuit control, cost, cycle life and safety.

Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of boric acid as an additive for gelled electrolytes. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and an equivalent circuit analysis were employed to study the electrochemical performance of the gelled electrolyte with the addition of varying amounts of boric acid. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to observe the grid corrosion in corrosion test. For moderate contents of boric acid, the electrode capacity improved, as well as the oxygen evolution profermance. However, the adverse effects of boric acid were found to include increased electrical resistance, decreased hydrogen evolution overpotential and promote the corrosion of the grid. The experimental results indicates that the optimum content was 0.4wt.%.
