Iran-Made ‘Energy Bag’; Portable Solar Power Plant for Lighting, Charging
The energy bag is an ideal energy source for nature hikers, mountaineers, campers, nomads and farmers in underserved areas and can provide up to five hours of lighting at night.
“In many industries such as petrochemical, oil and gas, power plants, electricity production and distribution companies, hospitals, etc. battery homes are used for emergency power supply. These battery houses usually include a large number of batteries (10 to 100 or more) with high capacities and exorbitant prices,” Seyed Mousa Ayati, a faculty member of University of Tehran and the managing-director of the knowledge-based company.
“Due to the high cost of these batteries and their relatively short life (3 to 5 years), their continuous monitoring and maintenance is of great importance,” he added.
“Our Battery Management System (BMS) dramatically increases battery life and efficiency by monitoring key battery parameters, including capacity, health, charge and discharge, balance, reporting, and dispatch center connectivity. In addition, operators can fully monitor the condition of the batteries and the overall performance of the battery home by using the company's comprehensive monitoring software,” Ayati said.
In a relevant development in May, technologists at a company in Iran have acquired the know-how of manufacturing 18650 Li-ion batteries which according to them, can be used in electric cars, household appliances and other transport vehicles.
“Our company has been operating in the field of banking since 2015 and we have produced products in the fields of banking and information technology,” said Mahdieh Sabour, the director of the digital department of the Iranian technological company.
She said that their company started its operation in the banking field with the production of POS devices, adding, “The production of thermal paper rolls used in POS devices is one of the other products of our company.”
Sabour considered the production of 18650 Li-ion batteries as the latest product they produce in their company, adding, “These batteries are used for electric motors and electric cars and other electric equipment.”
The director further considered 18650 Li-ion batteries to be a type of cylindrical batteries that are designed and manufactured to provide high electrical power and maintain high current for long time under fluctuating and very repetitive charge and discharge conditions.
