Definition of the Subject

The electric load of a vehicle can be decomposed into two components – static and dynamic load. The static component is slowly varying power with limited magnitude, whereas the dynamic load is fast varying power with large magnitude. The energy storage system, accordingly, comprises of two basic elements. One is energy source to support the static load and other is a power source to support the dynamic load. A smart combination of the available energy storages, which have different characteristics, may result in a high-performance energy storage system.

Introduction

It is widely agreed that vehicle electrification will lead to revolutionary improvements on vehicle performance, energy resource conservation, and pollution emissions. High-quality energy storage system is one of the most crucial components. Unfortunately, the currently available...
