Energy storage and management technologies are key in the deployment and operation of electric vehicles (EVs). To keep up with continuous innovations in energy storage technologies, it is necessary to develop corresponding management strategies. In this Review, we discuss technological advances in energy storage management.
System-level opportunities arise through multifunctional design of structurally-integrated batteries that can simultaneously serve as vehicle structural members and energy storage units (‡ [7, 8].). Fig. 2. A-D) Mechanical comparison between MESC and typical Li-ion pouch cell.
Energy storage management strategies, such as lifetime prognostics and fault detection, can reduce EV charging times while enhancing battery safety. Combining advanced sensor data with prediction algorithms can improve the efficiency of EVs, increasing their driving range, and encouraging uptake of the technology.
A mixed-integer linear programming framework for a commercial electric vehicle multi-use operation strategy is developed. Electric vehicle multi-use increases cumulative cash flow per vehicle up to 17000 EUR in Germany. A degradation aware charging strategy leads to a significant battery lifetime increase.
