Elizabeth Oyekola

I am an energy engineer, with 2+ years of experience in battery energy storage systems and technologies, renewable energy system integration, and energy management systems. I have developed skills in research and development, data analysis, Lithium-ion battery design, assembly, testing, and validation. This involves the operation of battery power cyclers, energy management, and data presentation.

Graduate Student Research Assistant,

Dalhousie Renewable Energy Storage Lab. Dalhousie University. Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

• Conducted continuous charge and discharge cycling tests on Lithium-ion batteries of different chemistries (inclusive of cell, module, and pack level tests) to determine the battery performance and degradation patterns.
• Data analysis and presentation of battery test results.

  Developed battery cycling test procedures including reference performance tests, resistance testing, and degradation tests for batteries under different duty cycles.

• Electrical cabling and connections for battery power cyclers to the battery systems
• Set up a subterranean battery test unit for underground battery operations testing for different applications

Dalhousie University,

MASc. Mechanical Engineering

Researching Lithium-ion battery energy storage technologies and solutions, for increasing the adoption of renewable energy amongst other applications. My research focused on battery systems for stationary applications and explores underground battery operations for different use profiles. This entails the investigation of battery degradation and thermal behaviors, battery thermal modelling, and experimental investigation of subterranean BESS operations with passive thermal management
