Positive electrode Fig.ts: Atypical electrochemical battery » Battery manufacturers usually specify the battery with coulometric capacity ampere-hour, which is defined as the number of ampere-hours gained when discharging the battery from_a fully charged state until the terminal voltage drops to its cut-off voltage, as shown in Figure 4.2. 206 ae Open creit voltage ca 195) 0 = - i vas z 3 Piso z a Au 8 3g oa sas Apes [i va 15599 303040307080 90100 rey ont a rasan npn way Fa cha rete aoc tary Electrochemical Batteries > SOC (State of Charge); It is defined as the ratio of remaining capacity to fully charged capacity. > The change in SOC in a time interval, dt, with discharging or charging current i may be expressed as, ASOC Qui) » where Q(i) is the ampere-hour capacity of the battery at current rate i.

Electrochemical Batteries > Specific Energy: It is defined as the energy capacity per unit battery weight (Wh/kg). > The theoretical specific energy is the maximum energy that can be generated per unit total mass of cell reactants. » Specific Power: It is defined as the maximum power of per unit battery weight that the battery can produce in a short period. > Specific power is important in the reduction of battery weight, especially in high-power demand applications, such as HEVs. Electrochemical Batteries » The specific power of a chemical battery depends mostly on the battery’s internal resistance. » With the battery model as shown in Figure 4.4, the maximum power that the battery can supply to the load is, Re E v2 — Peak = F(Ro+ Rint) Fig Battery crit mods » The viable EV and HEV batteries consist of the ¥ lead-acid battery, v nickel based batteries such as nickel-iron, nickel-cadmium, and nickel-metal hydride batteries, and v lithium-based batteries such as lithium polymer and lithium-ion batteries. » In the near term, it seems that lead-acid batteries will still be the major type due to its many advantages. > However, in the middle and long term, it seems that cadmium- and lithium-based batteries will be major candidates for EVs and HEVs. Lead-acid batteries » LA batteries have been used as energy sources commercially since 1860. » LA batteries are used in every internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle as a starter and typically applied for emergency power supply, renewable energy storage, and grid storage because of their ruggedness, safe operation, temperature tolerance, and low cost. » The electrochemical reaction takes place in LA battery as, Pb + 2PbO, + 2H,SO,; = 2PbSO, + 2H,O @ ) © Figs Lead acid battary chemistry uring escharging (b) during charging (6) LAbattory prototype 3170023.

Sodium-beta batteries > Sodium-beta batteries are the only batteries that use solid electrolyte. > These batteries use beta-alumina ($”-Al203) as electrolyte, which exhibits good Na+ conductivity and electric isolation at high temperatures. > Depending on cathode materials, sodium beta batteries are classified into sodium-sulfur (Na-S) and sodium metal halide. » Na-S was developed by Ford particularly for EV applications in the 1960s. @ © Fig. Sodium sulfur battery chemistry (a) during dscharging & charging (b) tubular design view of Na-S battery Lithium batteries > Lithium SBs are promising batteries for EV energy storage applications because of their high energy density, high specific energy and power, and light weight. » However, this battery type is costlier than other battery types; it needs protection for safe operation and cell balancing system to ensure consistent battery performance at the same voltage and charge level. » Lithium batteries are designed for high temperature and ambient temperature applications. Other than sodium-beta batteries, lithium- aluminum-iron mono-sulfide (Li-Al-FeS) and lithium-aluminum- iron disulfide (Li-Al-FeS2) are high-temperature lithium batteries » These lithium-sulfur batteries have the highest energy capacity and the lowest weight among all other lithium batteries. Lithium batteries > The other lithium batteries that operate normally at ambient temperature are mainly Li-poly and Li-ion batteries, which are well developed for EV application. » Li-ion batteries are popular for energy storage and portable electric and electronics products because of their small size, light weight, and potential. > In 1991, Sony commercially produced Li-ion batteries, but this type of battery was already proposed by Bell Labs in the 1960s. » Li-ion battery has high energy density, high power density ranging from 500 to 2000 W/kg, low self discharge, and long lifetimes > Because of the frequent stop-and-go operation of EVs and HEVs, the discharging and charging profile of the energy storage is highly varied. > The average power required from the energy storage is much lower than the peak power for acceleration and hill climbing in a relatively short time span. > The energy source, mainly batteries and fuel cells, has high specific energy, whereas the power source has high specific power. > Power sources can be recharged from the energy source during less demanding driving or regenerative braking. » The power source that has received wide attention is the ultracapacitor. fF ultr itor: » A UC is similar to a normal capacitor in terms of structure and function. However, a UC can have a high energy capacity with the value of kilo farads and is called supercapacitor. > The specific power of UC is approximately 1000-2000 W/kg with 95% energy efficiency. > Among all ESSs, UC has the longest lifetime of almost 40 years. > UC is accepted in EV applications because of its high power storage due to its features; it does not require maintenance, and it exhibits temperature insensitivity and a long operation time. > For fast charging and discharging profile of UCs, the UCs are used as energy storage during electric braking and as energy source during rapid acceleration needed for hilling in Evs. » Double-layer capacitor technology is the major approach to applying the ultracapacitor concept.
