Energy storage components are fundamental to the concept of an Integrated Energy System (IES). They serve to store surplus energy during low-demand periods for later release when other IES components (i.e., Secondary Energy Source, Balance of Plant, etc.) would otherwise have to operate flexibly. This provision for storage avoids high-amplitude power ramps in these components thereby limiting thermal and mechanical stresses to their internals and providing for extended service life. This report describes a dynamic model that has been developed for an electrochemical battery. The lithium-ion (Li-ion) cell was selected as representative technology. The battery model was developed in the Dymola simulation environment and meets the requirements of the ecosystem plug-and-play library. The model accurately describes the electric dynamic response of a Li-ion battery for an imposed charging/discharging power profile. The corresponding physical limitations related to over-power scenarios, and the impact of the residual state of charge are accounted for in the model. A literature review of the major degradation processes affecting Li-ion batteries was performed. Given the purposes of the CTD-IES project, the progressive fade of the installed capacity, the reduction of the round-trip efficiency, and the limits on the number of charging/discharging cycles are aspects that need to be taken into account in techno-economic analyses. The modeling of these degradation phenomena becomes crucial when predictions over long time horizons (capacity expansion) are made. For each one of these phenomena, a brief description is given, and some figures to be implemented in the HERON optimization algorithm are presented.
