There is wide disagreement in the automotive industry over what size cells are ideal for battery packs. Because of the inherent complexity of packs and the diversity of applications, current lines of thought are loosely opinion based. In order to start quantitatively examining the problem, this study measures the performance of a range of cylindrical cell sizes in a generic battery module (modeled...
Batteries come in many different shapes and sizes. Determining which one is best for a particular application is straightforward in some cases and ambiguous in others. When hundreds or thousands of cells are combined into packs, the choice of shape is far from obvious. All too often, these decisions are made based on convenience or cost without fully considering the pack-level effects. This paper...
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) will play a vital role in future sustainable transportation systems due to their potential in terms of energy security, decreased environmental impact, improved fuel economy, and better performance. Moreover, new regulations have been established to improve the collective gas mileage, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce dependence on foreign oil. This...
In order to increase energy independency and decrease harmful vehicle emissions, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have been suggested as viable replacements for conventional internal combustion (IC) vehicles. In the event that PHEVs do command a large market share, their interactions with the grid could either become a large asset or a large burden for the grid, depending on the interface...
