A Survey on various Electric Vehicle batteries – Battery power management and performance monitoring system

Abstract

In recent days, the emission of GHG due to fuel-based transportations causes global disorders to all living beings on the earth. This can be reduced by introducing electrified transportation. The up-to-date research concentrate more on battery management system and monitoring system, to monitor the battery activity for increasing its life. This review focuses on three main important components of various electric vehicles like battery storage capacity, power management methods and battery performance monitoring system, with an overview of the existing research works. A battery management system is an electronic device that monitors the charging and discharge of rechargeable batteries that can be used to prevent overcharging or high temperature. The battery management system is an integral part of electric vehicles. Unfortunately, it is challenging to monitor and control the various cells of a battery due to their different production and operating conditions. In the end of the review, an upcoming research activity and its challenges relating to solar PV integrated electric vehicle to operate the system independent to the EB or grid supply has been proposed.
