A multifunctional battery module design for electric vehicle

A multifunctional battery module design for electric vehicle

Reducing the overall vehicle weight is an efficient, system-level approach to increase the drive range of electric vehicle, for which structural parts in auto-framemay be replaced by battery modules. Such battery modules must be structurally functional, e.g., energy absorbing, while the battery cells are not necessarily loading–carrying. We designed and tested a butterfly-shaped battery module ...

Antilock Regenerative Braking System Design for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Hybrid electric vehicles employ a hydraulic braking system and a regenerative braking system together to provide enhanced braking performance and energy regeneration. In this paper an integrated braking system is proposed for an electric hybrid vehicle that include a hydraulic braking system and a regenerative braking system which is functionally connected to an electric traction motor. In the ...

Electric Vehicle Battery Technologies

As discussed in the previous chapter, electrification is the most viable way to achieve clean and efficient transportation that is crucial to the sustainable development of the whole world. In the near future, electric vehicles (EVs) including hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs) will dominate the clean vehicle mark...

A Novel Battery Equalizer for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle

In order to meet cost targets for hybrid electric (HEV), Plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV), and allelectric vehicles (EV), an improvement in the battery life cycle and safety is essential. One practical approach to improve performance is to use power electronics intensive cell equalizer, in conjunction with on-board energy storage devices. A new technique based on buck-boost topology to equalize a...
