Research abstract

We propose to demonstrate an innovative concept that is capable of extended operational durability and reduced lifecycle maintenance for UPS systems. Currently, all widely-adopted power supply systems for UPS are lead acid batteries. Our proposed method opens a new way for UPS power supplying by taking advantage of the high energy content in zinc-air fuel cells and the high power capability in nickel-zinc batteries. This new power supply system is anticipated to supply power orders of magnitude longer than lead acid batteries. The fuel cell/battery hybrid concept allows the new power system to have high energy density and high power density capabilities. The zinc-air/NiZn combination makes the entire system low cost, easy to maintain and environmental-friendly.
