E CONOMIC and environmental incentives, as well as advances in information and control technologies, are reshaping the traditional view of transportation systems. The emergence of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) has shown that electrification is a clear trend to improve performance, efficiency, and sustainability of transportation systems since elec...

Output power in a hybrid power system is constant while the input power with variable characteristics that is generated by different sources. Using Hybrid Electrical Energy Storage (HEES) systems, is growing rapidly since there is an obvious need for clean energy. This paper introduces different parts of a HEES system and then proposes HEES systems which employ battery, ultracapacitor and f...

This paper presents a standalone hybrid power generation system based on low speed wind energy conversion system (WECS) using a variable speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) with battery storage and diesel generator (DG). Different types of power management strategies are presents for minimal use of DG. For each PMS, mathematical model is developed based on the power balance (bet...

The objective of this paper is to propose a three input boost converter for the hybrid system in order to simply the power system reduce the cost. The proposed converter having two source act as a input and third source act as a storage element. Supplying the output load, charging or discharging the battery can be made by the PV and the wind power sources individually or simultaneously. The pro...

The intermittent nature of the sunlight and its increasing contribution to electricity generation is fostering the energy storage research. Direct solar charging of an auspicious type of redox flow battery could make solar energy directly and efficiently dispatchable.

High energy and safe electrochemical storage are critical components in multiple emerging fields of technologies. Rechargeable lithium-metal batteries are considered to be promising alternatives for current lithium-ion batteries, leading to as much as a 10-fold improvement in anode storage capacity (from 372 to 3860 mAh g-1). One of the major challenges for commercializing lithium-metal batteri...

The charging method has a significant influence on the performance and lifetime of Rechargeable batteries. Therefore intelligent charging algorithm which can properly determine the charging current is essential. In this study, a fuzzy-logic-control-based (FLC-based) battery charger is proposed. The proposed charger takes the voltage and current of battery into account, and adjusts the pwm duty ...

The introduction of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) could help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and emissions from transportation and as such increase energy security and foster sustainable use of energy resources. However a major barrier to the introduction of BEVs is their limited battery capacity and long charging durations. To address these issues of BEVs several solutions are proposed...

This paper analyzes and simulates the Li-ion battery charging process for a solar powered battery management system. The battery is charged using a non-inverting synchronous buck-boost DC/DC power converter. The system operates in buck, buck-boost, or boost mode, according to the supply voltage conditions from the solar panels. Rapid changes in atmospheric conditions or sunlight incident angle ...
