Sodium/sulfur evaluation at SNL
- Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM (USA)
Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has been involved in the evaluation of the sodium/sulfur technology for several years. Until recently, the effort concentrated on the performance of single cells. Recently, the evaluation of 4-cell string was initiated. The majority of the activity during the past two years has focused on cells from Chloride Silent Power, Limited (CSPL). To date, four groups of PB cells and 4-cell strings, which consisted of PB cells, have been evaluated. The first group of ten cells delivered to Sandia were on test for approximately one year. The majority of these cells failed due to corrosion problems in the sulfur seal. However, two cells completed over 800 cycles, and one of these cells completed nearly 1600 cycles. 4 figs., 1 tab.
