Abstract Energy Management of a Battery ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ENERGY MANAGEMENT OF A BATTERY-ULTRACAPACITOR HYBRID ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES Junyi Shen, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation Directed By: Professor Alireza Khaligh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Electric vehicle (EV) batteries tend to have accelerated degradation due to high peak power and harsh charging/discharging cycles during acceleration and deceleration periods, particularly in urban driving conditions. An oversized energy storage system (ESS) can meet the high power demands; however, it suffers from increased size, volume and cost. In order to reduce the overall ESS size and extend battery cycle life, a battery-ultracapacitor (UC) hybrid energy storage system (HESS) has been considered as an alternative solution. In this work, we investigate the optimized configuration, design, and energy management of a battery-UC HESS. One of the major challenges in a HESS is to design an energy management controller for real-time implementation that can yield good power split performance. We present the methodologies and solutions to this problem in a battery-UC HESS with a DC-DC converter interfacing with the UC and the battery. In particular, a multi-objective optimization problem is formulated to optimize the power split in order to prolong the battery lifetime and to reduce the HESS power losses. This optimization problem is numerically solved for standard drive cycle datasets using Dynamic Programming (DP). Trained using the DP optimal results, an effective real-time implementation of the optimal power split is realized based on Neural Network (NN). This proposed online energy management controller is applied to a midsize EV model with a 360V/34kWh battery pack and a 270V/203Wh UC pack. The proposed online energy management controller effectively splits the load demand with high power efficiency and also effectively reduces the battery peak current. More importantly, a 38V- 385Wh battery and a 16V-2.06Wh UC HESS hardware prototype and a real-time experiment platform has been developed. The real-time experiment results have successfully validated the real-time implementation feasibility and effectiveness of the real-time controller design for the battery-UC HESS. A battery State-of-Health (SoH) estimation model is developed as a performance metric to evaluate the battery cycle life extension effect. It is estimated that the proposed online energy management controller can extend the battery cycle life by over 60%.

  • The Lithium Wars: from Kokkola to the Congo for the 500 Mile Battery
    sustainability Article The Lithium Wars: From Kokkola to the Congo for the 500 Mile Battery Philip Cooke Mohn Center for Innovation & Regional Development, Department of Engineering, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, 5020 Bergen, Norway; [email protected]; Tel.: +44-2920-486702 Abstract: This paper presents an analysis and interpretation of the current state of play in the global value network of minerals mining, refining and transformation processes in the contemporary battery industry, which will power potentially crucial future industries for manufacture of electric vehicles (EVs) and solar-storage energy systems. The dark influence of the carbon lock-in landscape is gradu- ally being mitigated under the challenge of achieving the “500 mile” battery charge, which would make a transformational difference in the replacement of renewably fuelled vehicles and storage systems, currently still predominantly driven by fossil fuels. The challenge has led to a “war” be- tween manufacturers, miners and refiners, who have realised that the challenge has come alive while most have been vacillating. At an “individualist” rather than an “institutionalist” level, Elon Musk, for all his faults, deserves credit for “moving the market” in these two important industry sectors. This paper anatomises key events and processes stimulating change in this global economic activity through an “abductive” reasoning model and a qualitative “pattern recognition” methodology that proves valuable in achieving rational, probabilistic forecasts. Established incremental innovation characterises first responses in the “war” but research agencies like ARPA are active in funding research that may produce radical battery innovation in future.

Sotingco Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering on May 11, 2012 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Abstract Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are vehicles that utilize power from both an internal combustion engine and an electric battery that can be recharged from the grid. Simulations of series, parallel, and split-architecture PHEVs, as well as parallel and split PHEVs with ultracapacitors, were performed in Autonomie, the vehicle simulation package released by Argonne National Laboratory as the successor to the Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit (PSAT). The PHEV configurations were parameterized by battery capacity, motor peak power, engine peak power, and ultracapacitor capacity if applicable. Results were compared to EPA data for the Chevrolet Volt and Toyota Prius, showing close agreement on values for fuel consumption, charge-depleting range, and acceleration time.

  • Part 1 1. Introduction 2. Elon's Battery Day & Other Tesla News
    Battery Day – Part 1 By John Benson September 2020 1. Introduction This post has been in the oven a long time. Originally Elon said that his “battery day” would be in April, and he would be announcing some breakthrough information. I started collecting information on his recent battery developments long before he announced this event. After Elon slipped battery day several times, I got tired of waiting and posted the paper described and linked below in late July. The earlier paper described Tesla’s battery R&D center (in Fremont near their mothership auto plant), the chemistries that Tesla is using, his long lifetime (a.k.a. “million mile”) battery developments, dry battery electrode development (via Maxwell), the magic number ($100 per kWh), and summarized developments I had announced in earlier posts. https://energycentral.com/c/gn/battery-breakthroughs Since Elon finally had Battery Day on September 22, I will post Part 1 on the 29th and cover this event and other Tesla information in Chapter 2. After chapter 2, the others (in Part 2) will cover: other (non-Tesla) battery developments, the new current largest battery energy storage system (BESS) in the world (also non-Tesla), the upcoming new largest BESS (Tesla), and finally any other recent or near future major BESS projects (mainly in California). 2. Elon’s Battery Day & Other Tesla News Elon was very lucky and very smart when he rolled out his first significant battery electric vehicle (BEV), the Model S, in that he selected Panasonic as his battery partner. They jointly built Gigafactory 1 to manufacture batteries for his BEVs and BESS.
