A critical review of energy storage technologies for microgrids

Lead-Acid BatteriesLithium BatteriesFlow BatteriesNickel-Cadmium BatteriesSodium Beta BatteriesNickel Metal Hydride BatteriesNickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries have a huge nominal capacity, as large as NiCd and Lead-acid batteries. The cathode is made from nickel oxide hydroxide (NiOOH), while the anode is formed of a hydrogen-absorbing alloy and potassium hydroxide as electrolyte. The devices are deployed in a valve-regulated package to allow the gases to be released...See more on link.springer Department of Energy[PDF]
