In this Review, we discuss technological advances in energy storage management. Energy storage management strategies, such as lifetime prognostics and fault detection, can reduce EV charging times while enhancing battery safety.
Energy storage systems are devices, such as batteries, that convert electrical energy into a form that can be stored and then converted back to electrical energy when needed 2, reducing or eliminating dependency on fossil fuels 3. Energy storage systems are central to the performance of EVs, affecting their driving range and energy efficiency 3.
Despite advances, energy storage systems still face several issues. First, battery safety during fast charging is critical to lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries in EVs, as thermal runaway can be triggered by the reaction between plated lithium and the electrolyte at 103.9 °C after being fast charged by 3C (ref. 5).
Batteries in EVs can serve as distributed energy storage devices via vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, which stores electricity and pushes it back to the power grid at peak times. Given the flexible charging and discharging profiles of EVs and the cost reduction, V2G has been considered for short-term power grid energy storage 193.
We offer an overview of the technical challenges to solve and trends for better energy storage management of EVs. Energy storage management is essential for increasing the range and efficiency of electric vehicles (EVs), to increase their lifetime and to reduce their energy demands.
Battery management can enhance battery lifetimes by varying the dynamic discharge profile for the same average current and voltage window, enabling a lifetime increase of up to 38% 11. Energy storage management strategies incorporate modelling, prediction and control of energy storage systems.
