Energy Storage Systems for Electric Vehicles [Book News

Abstract

The book contains 25 carefully selected papers covering new trends in energy storage systems. Internal combustion engine cars are planned to be sidelined by 2035 given that the European Commission recently imposed tougher CO2 emission reduction targets that will effectively ban sales of new diesel and gasoline vehicles beyond 2035. However, present- day electric vehicles (EVs) still give drivers some range and charging point anxiety, needing careful planning of longer trips. Therefore, research, innovation, and education must be enhanced in the field of EV inboard energy storage, and also for off-board storage, increasing the penetration of renewable energy to charge EVs, a requirement for sustainability. The book’s editor, Erik Schaltz, is an associate professor in the Department of Energy Technology, Aalborg University, Denmark. He is the program leader of the research program E-mobility and Industrial Drives and the vice program leader of Battery Storage Systems and has participated in more than 15 national and international research projects. The book is a free-access tool for engineers and researchers in EV energy storage systems. The book is also suited for students willing to further explore energy storage in EVs and is a valuable resource for practicing professionals in need of understanding and pursuing advanced trends in energy storage systems.
