Design and Simulation of an Energy Storage System with Batteries Lead Acid and Lithium-Ion for an Electric Vehicle

Battery vs. Conduction Cycle Efficiency Analysis

Abstract

This work aimed to study and analyze the model of a conventional vehicle transformed into an electric vehicle self-sustaining, in this transformation process, the proposal was to simulate two proposals of energy storage system, being a bank with lead-acid batteries (Pb) and another bank with lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, considering three transmission options with different gear ratios. In this work, the MATLAB and ADVISOR software were used for modeling and simulation. Simulations were carried out using three driving cycles that represent the conditions of running in: a highway, a highway with an ascent of mountain and city, all conditions being based on routes in the Vale do Paraíba Paulista region. At the end of the proposed simulation models, a comparison was made between the proposed energy storage system models considering gear ratio and driving cycles based on electric vehicle model under development.
