Lifetime Prediction and Simulation Models of Different Energy Storage Devices

<p class=ql-align-justify>Energy storage is one of the most important enablers for the transformation to a sustainable energy supply with greater mobility. For vehicles but also for many stationary applications the batteries used for energy storage are very flexible but also have a rather limited lifetime compared to other storage principles. This Special Issue is a collection of articles that collectively address the following questions:</p><ul><li class=ql-align-justify>What are the factors influencing the aging of different energy storage technologies?</li><li class=ql-align-justify>How can we extend the lifetime of storage systems? </li><li class=ql-align-justify>How can the aging of an energy storage be detected and predicted? When do we have to exchange the storage device?</li></ul><p>The articles cover lithium-ion batteries supercaps and flywheels.</p>
