Expected Outcome

The bidirectional DC-DC converter structure for HESS for electric vehicle interfacing battery and supercapacitor increases the capability of the system to face high power demands and improves the performance and efficiency of the overall system.  It will enable the vehicle to operate in various driving modes such as acceleration, high power, low power, standstill, and regenerative braking with improved transient response and reliability.

The optimisation assists to determine both the optimal HESS size (energy capacity of the battery pack and supercapacitor) and the optimal energy management strategy that will minimise the overall cost of PEV.

It is expected to deliver the following outcomes after developing the scale-down model of the proposed hybrid energy storage system configuration and its corresponding multi-objective optimal energy management algorithm.
