Abstract [en]
The rising use of fossil fuels and the resulting rise in environmental harm have fueled the advancement of automobiles that are fuel-efficient. A severe existential challenge facing the planet earth has given rise to hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which have developed from their incipient stage and are shown promise as a solution. Additionally, when needed to produce peaking power, batteries' efficiency is reduced. Instead, supercapacitors have smaller energy storage capacity but can withstand peaking power. Designing a clever method to manage the energy balance between a supercapacitor and a battery is the main goal of this research. Different topologies are used to study the battery-supercapacitor energy storage system in great detail. Nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and other harmful gases are less released when a battery-supercapacitor energy storage system is integrated. Additionally, it can lower the load on the battery, extending its life and improving its performance in HEVs.
