A Study of Hybrid Energy Storage System for Electric vehicle Air Conditioning System

Abstract

This paper introduces improvement efficiency of battery for air-conditioning (A/C) system. Super-capacitor (SCs) is mounted with Lithium-ion battery called hybrid energy storage system (HESS). The system modeling of heat system in passenger room and battery pack are derived to represent system in mathematic model. The characteristic of power loss relative to discharge rate are examined using several models of Li-Ion battery. The relationship between discharge rate and power loss in battery is tested by experiment kits. A/C system of passenger car is simplified to demonstration kit. Single energy storage system (SESS) and HESS batteries are used as energy storage. The both typed of energy storage are tested with on-off control. HESS outperforms rather than SESS. The efficiency of HESS battery is greater than SESS about 57.57% at peak load and 14.34% at rated load.
