Analysis of nickel-metal hydride battery development

Nickel-hydrogen battery has just entered the mature stage, is currently used in hybrid electric vehicle hp 338794-001 battery system, the only real validation was commercial, large-scale battery systems, the global mass-produced hybrid car has been used in all nickel-hydrogen battery system.

According to the Investment Advisor “issued by China’s new energy vehicles 2008-2010 Industry Analysis and Investment Consulting Report” report shows that 99% of the current hybrid battery market share for the nickel-hydrogen batteries, commercial representative of Toyota Prius. Currently the world’s leading vehicle power battery manufacturers are mainly in Japan PEVE and Sanyo, PEVE Global Hybrid-powered cars occupy the Ni-MH battery 85% of the market share, is currently the main commercial hybrid cars such as Toyota Prius, Alphard and Estima, as well as the Honda Civic, Insight Dengjun used PEVE nickel hydrogen batteries.

At present, the Chang’an Jie Xun, Chery A5, FAW Pentium, General Grand Hyatt brands such as model cars have been running, they are also used in nickel-metal hydride batteries, but batteries hp 361742-001 battery ,hp 371785-001 battery are purchasing from abroad, the domestic nickel-metal hydride batteries in the car on the use of match is still in development stage. Keli Yuan is currently working with the domestic Chery Automobile, Chang’an Automobile and other co-operation, the first production line of products are mainly supplied Chery Automobile.

Ni-MH battery industry and company analysis

In the field of nickel-hydrogen batteries, China in technology and resources are an advantage, in which performance of the world’s leading nickel hydroxide, rare-earth rich in natural resources, has unique advantages in resources, therefore, the development of nickel-hydrogen battery is the country’s most realistic option.
Investment Advisor in the new energy automotive industry researcher Li Sheng-mao that from Ni-MH battery industry chain perspective, the upstream raw material manufacturers for the metal mineral mining companies, mid-stream for the nickel-metal hydride battery materials supplier, downstream of the battery manufacturer. From a more optimistic view of the industry chain downstream manufacturers, the current state of competition in the upstream firms supply-demand balance, but the battery power is far downstream and midstream Keli Torch High-tech manufacturers are in short supply in the state.

Nickel mining in the upstream business with Jean-nickel industry, while the middle reaches of producing nickel-metal hydride battery materials, domestic listed companies, including Jinrui Technology (cathode material for nickel hydroxide), Xiamen Tungsten, and Baotou Steel Rare-earth (RE anode compaq EVO N400c battery materials for hydrogen storage alloy powder ), in which Xiamen Tungsten is the Ni-MH battery production of hydrogen storage powder leading enterprises, but also involves the production of lithium battery cathode materials, with good room for development.

Downstream firms, the domestic production capacity with a nickel-hydrogen battery or plan to enter the field include Chunlan Group, Ke-li Yuan, the torch high-tech, Hunan Shenzhou, Kane shares, etc., which Chunlan Group is the nickel-hydrogen battery technology HEV leader in its market share in a leading position in the torch high-tech and Hunan Shenzhou has possessed a certain amount of technical base and market position, whereas a force far and Kane Share The main products are still limited to the single battery, power battery project under construction or under construction, the prospects unclear.

Tird, the prospects for nickel-metal hydride batteries

Li Sheng-mao said that with the international oil price rose to 70 U.S. dollars, the new energy vehicles the advantages of starting to show. The world’s crude oil supplies tight and prices continued to rise, government, research institutions and enterprises compaq EVO N410c battery,compaq EVO N400 battery to accelerate the development and promotion of new energy vehicles for the direct driving forces. At the same time, the International Energy changes in the environment, but also for new energy vehicles (currently mainly hybrid cars) enters the stage, creating market conditions.

In the development of new energy vehicles, the nickel-metal hydride battery technology the most mature in the next three years, will remain the mainstream of new energy vehicles, followed by nickel-metal hydride battery technology and lithium iron phosphate, hydrogen fuel cells, one-third of the world, five years will be gradually lithium batteries and fuel cells are replaced. Battery giant Panasonic and Sanyo also found that the lithium-ion battery can not be replaced in 2 ~ 3 years, nickel-hydrogen batteries, mainly due to cheaper nickel-hydrogen battery safety, has reached large-scale production. Lithium batteries also need to continue to research topics, such as security, so take time commercial.

According to Japan’s Fuji economic analysis, the mainstream nickel-metal hydride batteries will be able to continue until 2011, but after 2011, Li-ion battery will gradually erode the market share of the nickel-metal hydride batteries, the agency predicted in 2009 Ni-MH rechargeable battery-vehicle global market scale than the previous year by 23.7% to ¥ 92,000,000,000, but the 2015 Ni-MH rechargeable battery-vehicle market will fall to ¥ 55,000,000,000.

Car battery prices decline rate will be lower than expected

With the electric vehicle technology and infrastructure components in place quickly, the market research firm is forecasting as a key component of the car sony VGP-BPS8 battery prices may be halved within five years; but the battery raw materials bottlenecks may also be the electrification of vehicles on the road obstacles.

Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany (IAAmotorshow) during the period, the market analysis agency CSM analyst GregMount predicted the current crisis facing the automotive industry will only be a temporary phenomenon; By 2010 demand is expected to become stable, the annual global vehicle sales are expected to be growth of 6%. Mount pointed out that the European car market, but the pace of recovery will be slower in 2010, forecast growth rate of 5%; As for the U.S. market’s performance will be better than the global average growth rate sony VGP-BPS8A battery.

In electric cars and plug-in hybrid market model, CSM that is necessary to establish a certain size, must meet the six critical conditions, they are: high oil prices, charging station infrastructure, government incentives, product supply capacity, as well as restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions regulations. Most of the above conditions, I am afraid to go to 2024 ~ 2030 will reach maturity; For the current concern about the most relevant manufacturers of electric vehicle lithium-ion battery technology, is expected between 2017 ~ 2023, towards maturity.

But while lithium batteries has been regarded as the standard technology for electric vehicle applications, its high prices been considered to be the development of electric vehicle industry, a major obstacle on the road. If the CSM’s forecast is correct, that is, the industry will rapidly bring down the price of automotive lithium batteries sony VGP-BPS9 battery,sony VGP-BPS9/B battery, a senior analyst at the agency AndrewFulbrook that, by 2015, the standard 25kWh lithium battery will cut into 5, and its price downward trend will continue into the 2030.

Fulbrook noted that the current price of lithium batteries per kWh is about 1,000 euros (1,480 dollars), and its key point should be to lower prices of about 400 euros per kWh: “We think that the price level will be off the market acceptance is a key points to trigger a strong demand. “at this stage, 25kWh lithium batteries will be set as the industry standard size;” This will be the majority of the first generation of electric vehicles used in standard battery sizes. “Fulbrook said.
Battery size standardization trends will help OEM factories in the initial stage of efforts to reduce cost, rather than to extend the battery running distance. Fulbrook said that the 100 ~ 150 km driving distance of the first generation of electric vehicles will be a key condition, however: “the price is more important than driving distance; consumers not yet ready sony VGP-BPS9A battery,sony VGP-BPS9A/B battery to spend more money to extend the travel distance or the burden of related Battery costs ─ ─ even if a government incentive policies useless. ”

Apart from the standard 25kWh battery, is expected to field will also be introduced in the battery there are other price / capacity ratio of significant progress. Those in the industry say, 30kWh the battery will be in 2020 euros per kWh200 the price level; while in the U.S. market, 40kWh batteries are expected to arrive in 2030, each kWh100 ~ 120 euro price point.

To achieve the car battery prices to ensure supply of raw materials not affect the battery is a major premise; Fulbrook said that the current lithium mines are mainly grown in South America, Argentina and Bolivia, China also has many mineral deposits. But to master the more volatile regions of these conditions can be obtained of the raw material has its own difficulties, so the forecast is not, plus the CSM of these factors.
