Abstract:

The demand for oil resources is raising more in India when compared to other countries. The estimated demand in oil resources seems to be 9.8 million barrels a day at the end of 2040. 65% of that increase in demand is mainly due to vehicle transportation. An estimation of cars around 260 million numbers, two and three wheelers around 185 million numbers, and trucks around 30 million numbers are also predicted. On the other hand, the effects of greenhouse gases on global warming are the leading concern in the present scenario. The council of United Nations decided to reduce the world s average temperature. Minimum of 50% of greenhouse gases emissions at 2000 must be minimized by the year 2050. Thus the automobile sectors are seeking for an alternative which is more efficient in the reduction of oil consumption and global warming. Pollutant free electric vehicles (EVs) are the better solution. newlineGenerally, the driving cycles comprises of many starts, stops and go conditions which seeks both average and instantaneous power supplies. Even though there exist many advanced energy storage systems (ESSs), among them battery performs better for average vehicle power demands newline.
