Abstract

This paper presents the multiple energy storage system usability for electric motorcycle focused on hybrid topology. This study focuses on evaluating the cost-effectiveness of a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for e-motorcycles over a 10-year period by considering the number of battery replacements instead of solely the initial system price. The motorcycle studied in this manuscript, is a recreational electric motorcycle utilized as an experimental test bench in EV-SCHS laboratory at the OJEN company. The 10-year equivalent price of the energy storage system includes both the initial purchase cost and the cost of battery replacements over the system's lifespan. A battery life model is essential for estimating the frequency of replacements over the 10-year period. Incorporating ultracapacitors (UC) in the HESS enhances power specifications, leading to improved acceleration and regenerative braking capabilities. This reduces battery current and extends battery life, resulting in fewer required replacements and lower overall system costs over the 10-year period. The study findings demonstrate that optimally-sized HESS configurations offer favorable power specifications, with the 10-year equivalent price of HESS being $3466 lower than that of conventional energy storage systems, despite the initial price of HESS being $833 higher.
