Evaluation Of Textile-Based Hybrid Energy Storage System (TEXHESS)Ó
Abstract
This research proposal addresses the challenge of reliably storing electrical energy in a textile and using this to power an electronic textile (e-textile). This will be achieved through the implementation of a textile-based hybrid energy storage system (TexHESS), which combines a battery and a super-capacitor integrated into a single layer of standard fabric. These components will be fabricated electrically in parallel resulting in a passive hybrid textile based energy storage module. The passive hybrid combination will assist the charging of the battery and protect the battery during both charging and discharging. This will extend the energy storage moduleÕs lifetime and increase power density while maintaining a small footprint on the textile. The final demonstrator will be fully encapsulated and will demonstrate a viable e-textile power source with the potential for deployment into real-world scenarios.
