1 Project Introduction This first section of the introduction should clearly state the scope of your project. It should give the reader a broad idea of what the project set out to achieve. A figure such as a system diagram, a photograph, or a flow chart showing how the system is used, can be very effective at this point. Please note: 1. It is recommended you adapt the structure of this template to suit your project. The structure in this template is more appropriate to a final report than a progress report. 2. Feel free to adjust the formatting of the body of the report but please leave the format of the title page unchanged. 2 Aims Describe the reasons why the project is interesting or important. 3 Background Survey other published work on this problem. Explain the relationship between your work and previous work.

4 Hardware overview Describe the theory underpinning the project if appropriate. Only cover theory that is directly relevant to the project and only if it would be unfamiliar to a typical reader (i.e. one of your classmates). Renewable energy has been identified as the solution to the world’s ever growing energy problems and demands. With the fast growing market of the Renewable energy sector, there are many new technical challenges that arises from the changes. One of the major issues with the incorporation of solar or wind into the grid is that it causes unwanted instability [1]. The reason being the energy produced is unpredictable due to weather changes. Thus by implementing energy storage along with the energy sources [2], we can storage energy during peak times and then discharge during low production periods.

5.1 Website design

Figure Figure 4 shows a layout of website. From the home page, five sections can be chosen by the user which is required. The aim of website is to make a convenient channel for clients. Main sections: Battery Types includes Lead-Acid battery and Lithium-ion battery and also describes each type of characteristics, applications, case studied, models and safety which are referred to battery testing results. Particularly, tests are based on charging and discharging. Link to other and partners have the link website address for government and different companies and organizations which is better for reader to browse.

5.2 Website management 5.2.1 Projects section In this section, it illustrates the aim of website (Australian Storage Knowledge Bank), which will deliver significant to the public and the range of the clients. The renewable energy and energy storage developers, energy users can achieve and rich the ability of energy storage system through the website. And the section also includes the background of our project. 5.2.2 Battery types section The battery types should be included different kinds of battery, such as, lead-acid battery, lithium-ion battery, Nickel Cadmium battery… But, our project focused on lead-acid battery which is corresponded with the instruction and considering to the safety with the testing experiments. For the subsection, it includes the characteristic, applications, case studies, models and safety. For example, the characteristics section can be included the advantages and limitations of the lead-acid battery as shown in table. And the safety section can be used add the figure which is related to the battery charging stage [3]

Advantages Inexpensive and simple to manufacture; Low cost per watt-hour; Low self-discharge; Lowest among rechargeable batteries; High specific power, capable of high discharge currents; Good low and high temperature performance; Limitations Low specific energy; Slow charge, fully charge takes 14-16 hours; Limited cycle life, repeated deep-cycling reduces battery life; Flooded version requires watering; Not environmentally friendly; Table

5.2.3 Partners section Cooperative with national and international energy storage organisations and energy utilities such as CSIRO Renewable Energy Integration Facility, DOE Global Energy Storage, the University of Queensland and Energy Networks Association. 5.2.4 Link to others section In this section, it links the website address for government and different companies and organizations which is better for reader to browse. Such as ANL, CSIRO and energy. Gov.

6 Conclusions Summarise the conclusions drawn from the project. All of the statements in the conclusions must be supported by the previous sections. This is not the place to derive new results for the first time. 6.1 Future Work Pose open questions and suggest how the project can be built upon.
