ANALYSIS OF HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY FOR HYBRID, PHEVS & ELECTRIC VEHICLE APPLICATION

Dr. Suhas B. Dhande

Abstract

The limited sources of fossil fuels and emergence to reduce greenhouse emissions are the forcing factors for alternate sustainable propulsion technologies. The automotive emission norms are becoming stringent. Euro V & Euro VI norms are forcing all automotive manufacturers to push fuel economy on the higher side and CO2 on the lower side. Diesel technologies are almost reached to its peak performance. On the other side, various renewable energy sources are not yet fully developed or commercialized. Till that time, hybrid propulsion technology is the interim solution for automotive. High voltage battery is the one of the critical components in hybrid architecture and selection of the battery technology is even more critical. Lead acid batteries are stabled in automotive, Ni-MH is also about to settle in hybrid vehicles. Though Ni-MH HV battery has its own limitation, but the advantages are more compared to other technologies as on date. But it has very low potential to take it forward to PHEVs & EVs. So the researchers are working on various other technologies. Li-Ion is one of the most prominent players. Ultracapacitors are also has shown prospects. This paper attempts to explore the exact need and pros and cons of various HV battery technologies so that it can help automotive manufacturers' decision-making process. Further, it can be helpful to the researcher and battery manufacturers for the future path.
