Battery technology for remote oceanographic applications
By Sol Jacobs
Tadiran Batteries
Port Washington, New York
Rapid advancements in remote oceanographic technology are creating many new
product design opportunities throughout the marine industry. But while marine
technology is moving full speed ahead, battery manufacturers have been
struggling to keep pace with the needs of product design engineers who are
looking to pack more product features into less space, with less weight, or
extend product life.
Oceanographic Applications
The explosive growth of marine products is giving rise to a variety of high
current-pulse applications that require low background currents and brief
periods of high-current pulses over an extended period of time. These
applications include buoys of all types (drifting, moored, ARGO, etc.), mayday
and other emergency systems, GPS and ARGOS tracking devices, current meters,
transponders, harbor lights, acoustic releases, seismometers and other
oceanographic devices.
At present, the two battery technologies of choice tend to be alkaline battery
packs and packs made with spirally wound lithium cells. Alkaline packs tend to
be large and heavy, and can be affected by wide temperature ranges.
Lithium batteries are often preferred for high current-pulse marine applications
due to their inherent long life and high energy density. These applications
typically require a battery power system that can withstand extreme temperatures
and harsh marine environments. Long life and reliability are also important
concerns, as battery failure will result in total system failure for stand alone
systems in remote locations with no back-up power source. Safety is always a
major concern, as is cost. Reduced size and weight are important requirements
for transportation.
With oceanographic devices becoming complex and feature-rich, the performance
capabilities of current lithium battery technology is being stretched to the
limits. Spirally wound lithium cells, while adequate in supplying high current
pulses over a wide temperature range, lack the energy density of bobbin lithium
cells, and are considered by many not to be as safe in use or in transport as
the bobbin cells. Standard bobbin-type lithium thionyl chloride (Li/SOCL2) cells
deliver extremely high energy density, high cell voltage, good low temperature
characteristics, low self-discharge rate and good safety characteristics.
However, standard bobbin-type cells have two drawbacks: passivation after
storage at elevated temperature, and low current due to its low rate design. As
a result, these cells do not have the power capability required for high current
pulse applications.
To address this problem, engineers at Tadiran have developed a hybrid lithium
technology that combines bobbin-type lithium thionyl chloride chemistry with a
hybrid layer capacitor (HLC). The resulting cell delivers higher energy density
and high current pulses without any passivation or voltage delay problems. This
was not the first time that lithium batteries and capacitors have been combined,
but the need for high current pulses did involve special modifications to the
capacitor, as these hybrid layer capacitors are specifically designed for use
with lithium batteries.
Buoy Pack - 90% smaller
Earlier this year, Oceantronics Inc. (Honolulu, Hawaii), a manufacturer of
scientific data collection devices, introduced this new hybrid lithium battery
technology to its GPS/ice buoys. To create a smaller, more cost efficient buoy,
Oceantronics chose the Pulses Plus™ hybrid lithium thionyl chloride battery from
Tadiran, the only battery currently available that combines a bobbin-type
Li/SOCL2 lithium thionyl chloride battery with a hybrid layer capacitor.
A leading supplier of commercial radars, GPS systems and peripheral equipment
for the U.S. Navy and other federal agencies, Oceantronics developed a GPS/ice
buoys for NOAA/PMEL back in 1994. The original battery pack weighed 54 kilograms
(kg), and required 380 alkaline D cells to operate for a period of one year.
Early in 2001, Oceantronics delivered its latest generation of GPS/ice buoys to
the North Pole Environmental Observatory for use in scientific experiments
measuring the effects of global climate change on ice floating on the Arctic
Ocean. The battery packs of these buoys weighed just 3.2 kg, and utilizing 32-D
cell lithium thionyl chloride batteries and four hybrid layer capacitors.
Switching to this new hybrid lithium battery technology resulted in a
significant size and weight reduction - over 90 percent. Ease of transport is
extremely important to technicians working in frigid Arctic waters. Likewise, a
number of the smaller lithium packs can be used in place of the larger alkaline
packs, extending the operational life of the system many fold.
In developing its new generation GPS/ice buoy, Oceantronics required a battery
that could withstand tests of -40°C prior to deployment. They also demanded that
the batteries pass all UN standards for shipping non-hazardous goods.
Boosts Capacity, Extends Life
Whereas in the Oceantronics example hybrid lithium batteries were utilized to
reduce space and weight, Nortek USA (San Diego), a manufacturer of current
meters, utilized hybrid lithium technology to provide longer life within the
same physical size as the present battery.
Nortek's Aquadopp acoustic current meter and profiler substituted hybrid lithium
battery packs for standard alkaline battery packs of equal size. In tests
conducted by Nortek, the hybrid lithium solution resulted in greatly increased
battery capacity. According to Lee Gordon of Nortek USA, "the LP175 (hybrid)
lithium battery pack is well suited for use with Nortek's instruments, and
should provide at least 3.3 times the capacity of our standard alkaline battery
packs."
Oceanographic Applications
The two previous examples demonstrate the potential space-saving and life
extending benefits of hybrid lithium batteries versus alkaline battery packs.
This hybrid technology also offers performance advantages over other lithium
chemistries.
One recent example involves GPS seismic equipment designed to detect underwater
movements of the Earth's crust for the purpose of studying plate tectonics, as
well as to provide an early warning of seismic activity. These systems currently
use 15 DD-size spirally wound lithium cells for an operational life of about one
year.
Converting to Pulses Plus hybrid lithium batteries will permit a substantial
increase in operational life, as 15 DD-size thionyl chloride bobbin cells plus
15 AA-sized hybrid layer capacitors, can provide two years of service life.
Increasing the operational life of the system to four years would entail the use
of 60 spirally wound DD cells versus a hybrid solution of 30 bobbin DD cells and
15 AA-sized hybrid layer capacitors. The hybrid battery pack would be smaller,
lighter, cheaper and much safer than the equivalent spirally wound lithium pack.
Cargo Container Tracking
Another recent application involved a sea cargo-container tracking device that
spends 30 days at a time at sea untethered (not connected to any power supply).
The battery must provide 10 years of service life.
The present battery power solution requires two large DD spirally wound cells.
Identical performance was achieved with two D-size Pulses Plus™ bobbin cells
(about half the size of DD cells), plus four hybrid layer capacitors the size of
AA cells.
Conversion from spirally wound to Pulses Plus™ hybrid batteries resulted in a 25
percent size and weight reduction, as well as a 50 percent cost savings. The
hybrid lithium solution is also safer for the container and the vessel.
Other applications have benefited from this new hybrid technology. For instance,
light beacons that ran on lead acid batteries or solar panels are now being
retrofitted for hybrid lithium cells.
Conclusion
Of all the lithium chemistries utilized in various marine applications,
bobbin-type Li/SOCL2 cells combined with a Hybrid Layer Capacitor shows unique
promise for high energy density/high current-pulse applications. Benefits
include powerful performance, longer life due to lower self-discharge, reduced
size and weight, and improved safety.
As oceanographic applications grow increasingly complex, this and other lithium
battery technologies will be continually refined to meet the demands of design
engineers looking to pack more power and performance into less and less space.
