The market share of electric vehicles, powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIB), has been expanding worldwide with the global momentum towards green technology and improving driving range on one full-charge. Studies are, however, still required fire safety latest but unmatured due to a distinctive phenomenon called thermal runaway. In this study, series full-scale experiments were conducted, focu...

The benefits of hybrid electric vehicles have been recognized by the US Army and other military services. As a consequence, hybrid vehicles are being considered as future combat and tactical platforms. In order to achieve this objective, a number of integration challenges need to be overcome for every component system within the vehicle. Energy storage is one of the major systems of concern in ...

During the last few years, electric and hydrogen vehicles have become an alternative to cars that use internal combustion engines. The number of sold has increased due support from local governments because car manufacturers will stop production engines in near future. emissions these while being driven are zero, but they still impact on environment their fuel. In this article, analysis carbon ...

In this study, two battery models for a high-power lithium ion (Li-Ion) cell were compared for their use in hybrid electric vehicle simulations in support of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hybrid Electric Vehicle Program. Saft America developed the high-power Li-Ion cells as part of the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium/U.S. Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles programs. Based on test d...

Based on the problems caused by today conventional vehicles, much attention has been put on the fuel cell vehicles researches. However, using a fuel cell system is not adequate alone in transportation applications, because the load power profile includes transient that is not compatible with the fuel cell dynamic. To resolve this problem, hybridization of the fuel cell and energy storage device...
