Adaptive Characterization and Modeling of Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices for Hybrid Electric Vehicle Applications

Abstract

The control and adaptive characterization of batteries or supercapacitors, which are central to the construction of electrochemical energy storage devices oper- ating in hybrid electric vehicles, require that the state estimator forming the basis of the control system be informed by the underlying electrochemistry. In this chapter, we overview tools and methods useful for the integration of batteries and superca- pacitors into HEV systems, with a focus on the construction of state estimators. The approach discussed may be viewed as combining electroanalytical procedures with formal controls methods.
