Abstract
This paper presents aspects of modelling and simulation of energy storages based on the example of a lead-acid battery pack for powering an electric vehicle. The most frequently used energy storages, with particular emphasis on the difficulties in their proper selection for mobile equipment, was discussed. The mathematical model of the leadacid battery and the relations describing its respective parameters was also presented. A selected energy storage was subjected to detailed analysis with regards to the electrical and thermal parameters while powering an electric vehicle during an standard driving cycle in an urban area. The simulation was performed in the Matlab Simulink environment.
Highlights
Energy storage has been an important element of man’s activities for a long time
This paper deals with the issue of modelling of performance of lead-acid battery pack, which powers an electric vehicle
The analysis of operation of electrochemical sources is a complex problem, the second-tier mathematical model of the battery was used for its needs
Summary
Energy storage has been an important element of man’s activities for a long time. Initially, the issue concerned mainly the heating of the place of living or the cooling of the stored food, as the civilization kept developing, the need for accumulation of energy in various forms was apparently becoming more and more important. Energy storage constitutes an essential element of the global energy economy while balancing the energy demand and surplus and ensuring the energy security This is important in the case of energy systems cooperating with renewable sources, which are characterised by high instability of performance depending on weather conditions. The manufacturers of this equipment more and more often expect real methods of anticipation of the behaviours of these sources, especially since their behaviour under various operating and environmental conditions depends on many factors, in particular, in systems with high dynamics of load changes such as electrical vehicles [3] Sometimes such analyses are very complex and time-consuming, they require the application of advanced calculation methods [4,5]. This paper deals with the problems related to the analysis of the electric energy sources which can power an electrical vehicle based on the example of lead-acid batteries
