European Developments in the Na/S High Temperature Battery for Automobile Propulsion and Energy Storage,

Abstract

The sodium-sulfur battery is a leading candidate for future use in the propulsion of automobiles, vans, buses, and trains and for energy storage and load-leveling by electrical utilities. This report presents a brief description of the fundamentals of the operation of the battery, with indication of some considerations which control its development into an important technological system. The status of the battery development in England, France and Germany is then reviewed. (Author)
