ided resistance welding, where the electrodes are located on the connector side. Under the electrode pressure and during the welding current flow, heat is generated on the system resistances, which results in welding of the battery components [12÷14].An example of a battery after peel test of th
ence conditions. The weld diameter obtained for these parameters is d = 0.71 mm. An area with a temperature above 800 C was assume as the diameter of the weld, which means that a solid-state joint was obtained. Total current flow time was 17 ms, including 5 ms up-slope and 10 ms down-slope. The current waveform was mapped and appropriately app

Batteries and the BMS are replaced by the “Energy Storage Medium”, to represent any storage technologies including the necessary energy conversion subsystem. The control hierarchy can be further generalized to include other storage systems or devices connected to the grid, illustrated in Figure 3-19.
The energy is stored in the magnetic fi eld created by the fl ow of direct current in a superconducting coil, which is kept below its superconducting critical temperature. 100 years ago at the discovery of superconductivity a temperature of about 4 °K was needed.
A new application could be the electric vehicle, where they could be used as a buffer system for the acceleration process and regenerative braking [esp11]. Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems work according to an electrodynamic principle.
