  • A study of the influence of measurement timescale on internal resistance Characterisation methodologies for lithium-ion cells
    Scientific Reports, 2018
    Co-Authors: Anup Barai, Kotub Uddin, W. D. Widanage, Andrew Mcgordon, Paul Jennings
    Abstract:

    The power capability of a lithium ion battery is governed by its resistance, which changes with battery state such as temperature, state of charge, and state of health. Characterizing resistance, therefore, is integral in defining battery operational boundaries, estimating its performance and tracking its state of health. There are many techniques that have been employed for estimating the resistance of a battery, these include: using DC pulse current signals such as pulse power tests or Hybrid Pulse Power Characterization (HPPC) tests; using AC current signals, i.e., electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and using pulse-multisine measurements. From existing literature, these techniques are perceived to yield differing values of resistance. In this work, we apply these techniques to 20 Ah LiFePO_4/C_6 pouch cells and use the results to compare the techniques. The results indicate that the computed resistance is strongly dependent on the timescales of the technique employed and that when timescales match, the resistances derived via different techniques align. Furthermore, given that EIS is a perturbative Characterisation technique, employing a spectrum of perturbation frequencies, we show that the resistance estimated from any technique can be identified – to a high level of confidence – from EIS by matching their timescales.

  • Characterisation of metals in the electronic waste of complex mixtures of end of life ict products for development of cleaner recovery technology
    Waste Management, 2015
    Co-Authors: Zhi Sun, Yanping Xiao, Jilt Sietsma, H Agterhuis, G Visser, Yang Yang
    Abstract:

    Highlights: • New Characterisation methodology has been established to understand an industrially processed ICT waste. • Particle size distribution, composition, thermal–chemical behaviour and occurrence of metals were considered. • The Characterisation provides direct guidelines for values recovery from the waste. - Abstract: Recycling of valuable metals from electronic waste, especially complex mixtures of end-of-life information and communication technology (ICT) products, is of great difficulty due to their complexity and heterogeneity. One of the important reasons is the lack of comprehensive Characterisation on such materials, i.e. accurate compositions, physical/chemical properties. In the present research, we focus on developing methodologies for the Characterisation of metals in an industrially processed ICT waste. The morphology, particle size distribution, compositional distribution, occurrence, liberation as well as the thermo-chemical properties of the ICT waste were investigated with various Characterisation techniques, including X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersed spectroscopy (EDS). Due to the high heterogeneity of the material, special sample preparation procedures were introduced to minimise the discrepancies during compositional analyses. As a result, a clearer overview of the ICT waste has been reached. This research provides better understanding of the extractability of each metal and improvesmore » the awareness of potential obstacles for extraction. It will lead to smarter decisions during further development of a clean and effective recovery process.« less

  • Characterisation of Real Gprs Traffic with Analytical Tools
    2005 6th IEE International Conference on 3G and Beyond, 2005
    Co-Authors: Zhan-hong Lu, Yang Yang, Yong-hua Song, Thomas Owens
    Abstract:

    With GPRS and UMTS networks lunched, wireless multimedia services are commercially becoming the most attractive applications next to voice. Because of the nature of bursty, packet-switched schemes and multiple data rates, the traditional Erlang approach and Poisson models for characterising voice-centric services traffic are not suitable for studying wireless multimedia services traffic. Therefore, research on the Characterisation of wireless multimedia services traffic is very challenging. The typical reference for the study of wireless multimedia services traffic is wired Internet services traffic. However, because of the differences in network protocol, bandwidth, and QoS requirements between wired and wireless services, their traffic Characterisations may not be similar. Wired network Internet traffic shows self-similarity, long-range dependence and its file sizes exhibit heavy-tailedness. This paper reports the use of existing tools to analyse real GPRS traffic data to establish whether wireless multimedia services traffic have similar properties as wired Internet services traffic.
