Abstract:

Climate change has prompted the development of a more environmentally friendly transportation infrastructure. Electric vehicles are the most feasible solution in this regard. However, commercialization of on-road electric vehicles confronts a number of obstacles, including a sufficient number of charging stations, charging time, and range anxiety. The energy storage system is vital in overcoming the challenges of charging time and range anxiety. In this paper, the various technological advancement of energy storage system for electric vehicle application has been covered which includes the support for the superiority of the Li-ion batteries in terms of various parameters. The various aspect such as expected futurist development in EV battery technology, capacity demand, battery sizing and life cycle of Li-ion batteries are well explained. Further, the details of the Battery management system with working and operation have been explained under the cell balancing, consistency, charging/discharging control, state of charge, state of health, and improved life span. The advancement in the battery thermal management system is also covered. Moreover, the study has covered the detailed significance of the alternative energy storage systems followed by the comparative analysis which reveals their challenges, application and limitations.
