Analysing Materials in Battery Storage
Lesson5 of 6 in this unit
SecondaryYear 10TechnologyDesign and TechnologiesEnvironmentalEnergySustainabilityEconomicIndustry, Innovation and InfrastructureJob ReadyTechnology
Lesson Summary
Students will investigate grid-scale battery technologies, analyse the materials and components used, and evaluate their sustainability. They will develop design criteria to assess the suitability of different battery types for use in Queensland by considering environmental, social and economic impacts and making judgements on the best solutions for sustainable energy storage.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- explore the different types of grid-scale batteries and the materials they use, and evaluate the impacts of these materials on the environment, society and the economy to make informed decisions about sustainable energy storage.
Success criteria
Students can:
- describe the different types of batteries used in grid-scale energy storage systems and their applications in renewable energy.
- categorise the materials used in different battery storage systems explaining their properties and sources.
- evaluate the environmental, social, and economic impacts of sourcing materials for battery technologies and recommend which battery type would be most suitable for future use in Queensland based on these factors.
