Roar Hestbek Nicolaisen

Research assistant at Aarhus University

Biography

Roar Hestbek Nicolaisen graduated in December 2018 with a Cand. Scient. In Chemistry from Aarhus University.

Roar has a special interest in technologies for grid scale energy storage. He has wordked with Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries, Organic solidstate coin cells and synthesis of organic compounds for use in all Organic Redox Flow Batteries.

His vision is to help provide this missing component, energy storage, that will make it economical to have a society driven entirely by renewable energy.

Case Study of Residential PV Power and Battery Storage with the Danish Flexible Pricing Scheme

Abstract: The economic viability of renewable energy generation is vital for sustainability. Ensuring that optimal operation is always achieved, using energy management systems and control algorithms, is essential in this endeavor. Here, a new real-time pricing scheme, the Danish flexible pricing scheme, illustrates how residential PV and battery systems can optimize the electricity bill of …

A metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery

Abstract: As the fraction of electricity generation from intermittent renewable sources—such as solar or wind—grows, the ability to store large amounts of electrical energy is of increasing importance. Solid-electrode batteries maintain discharge at peak power for far too short a time to fully regulate wind or solar power output1,2. In contrast, flow batteries can independently …

Solar Redox Flow Batteries with Organic Redox Couples in Aqueous Electrolytes: A Minireview

Abstract: In recent years, research in solar energy storage with photoelectrochemical cells (i.e., solar redox flow batteries: SRFBs) has resurged. This development is emerging in parallel with the growing field of research into organic redox couples intended for aqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs) in a range of different pH environments. In a solar flow battery, the …

Towards an Ultimate Battery Thermal Management System: A Review

Abstract: The prevailing standards and scientific literature offer a wide range of options for the construction of a battery thermal management system (BTMS). The design of an innovative yet well-functioning BTMS requires strict supervision, quality audit and continuous improvement of the whole process. It must address all the current quality and safety (Q&S) standards. In …
