Abstract There are obstacles to the widespread use of small electric vehicles (EVs) in Rwanda, including concerns regarding the battery range and lifespan. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) play an important role in EVs. However, their performance declines over time because of several factors. To optimize battery management systems and extend the range of EVs in Rwanda, it is essential to understand the influence of the driving profiles on lithium-ion battery degradation. This study analyzed the degradation patterns of a lithium-ion battery cell that propels an E-bike using various real-world E-bike driving cycles that represent Rwandan driving conditions… More >

Abstract In order to solve the problem of inconsistent energy in the charging and discharging cycles of lithium-ion battery packs, a new multilayer equilibrium topology is designed in this paper. The structure adopts a hierarchical structure design, which includes intra-group equilibrium, primary inter-group equilibrium and secondary inter-group equilibrium. This structure greatly increases the number of equilibrium paths for lithium-ion batteries, thus shortening the time required for equilibrium, and improving the overall efficiency. In terms of control strategy, fuzzy logic control (FLC) is chosen to control the size of the equilibrium current during the equilibrium process. We… More >

Abstract Aiming at the traditional CUK equalizer can only perform energy equalization between adjacent batteries, if the two single batteries that need to be equalized are far away from each other, there will be the problem of longer energy transmission path and lower equalization efficiency, this paper optimizes the CUK equalizer and optimizes its peripheral selection circuit, which can support the equalization of single batteries at any two positions. The control strategy adopts the open-circuit voltage (OVC) of the battery and the state of charge (SOC) of the battery as the equalization variables, and selects the… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This paper addresses the challenge of identifying abnormal states in Lithium-ion Battery (LiB) time series data. As the energy sector increasingly focuses on integrating distributed energy resources, Virtual Power Plants (VPP) have become a vital new framework for energy management. LiBs are key in this context, owing to their high-efficiency energy storage capabilities essential for VPP operations. However, LiBs are prone to various abnormal states like overcharging, over-discharging, and internal short circuits, which impede power transmission efficiency. Traditional methods for detecting such abnormalities in LiB are too broad and lack precision for the dynamic and… More >

Abstract

Cobalt sulphides attract much attention as anode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, its poor conductivity, low initial column efficiency and large volume changes during cycling have hindered its further development. Herein, novel interlaced CoS nanosheets were firstly prepared on Carbon Fiber Cloth (CFC) by two hydrothermal reactions followed with carbon coating via carbonizing dopamine (CoS NS@C/CFC). As a freestanding anode, the nanosheet structure of CoS not only accommodates the volume variation, but also provides a large interface area to proceed the charge transfer reaction. In addition, CFC works as both a three-dimensional skeleton and an

Abstract Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in electric vehicles, mobile phones, and laptops. These batteries demonstrate several advantages, such as environmental friendliness, high energy density, and long life. However, battery overcharging and overdischarging may occur if the batteries are not monitored continuously. Overcharging causes fire and explosion casualties, and overdischarging causes a reduction in the battery capacity and life. In addition, the internal resistance of such batteries varies depending on their external temperature, electrolyte, cathode material, and other factors; the capacity of the batteries decreases with temperature. In this study, we develop a method for estimating… More >

Abstract It is critical to have precise data about Lithium-ion batteries, such as the State-of-Charge (SoC), to maintain a safe and consistent functioning of battery packs in energy storage systems of electric vehicles. Numerous strategies for estimating battery SoC, such as by including the coulomb counting and Kalman filter, have been established. As a result of the differences in parameter values between each cell, when these methods are applied to high-capacity battery packs, it has difficulties sustaining the prediction accuracy of overall cells. As a result of aging, the variation in the parameters of each cell… More >
