Principles of Electric Energy Storage Systems for E-Mobility

Master energy storage system design for electric vehicles Electric vehicles face urgent challenges including high battery costs, slow charging infrastructure, and battery management risks. Principles of Electric Energy Storage Systems for E-Mobility provides engineers and students with comprehensive guidance on designing energy storage systems for transportation electrification applications. Written by Sheldon Williamson, an NSERC Canada Research Chair, this textbook connects academic research with practical product development. The book covers lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and emerging technologies including solid-state batteries and fuel cells. It explores electrical modeling, state estimation techniques, thermal management strategies, and battery sizing methodologies. Chapters address charging methods and international standards including CHAdeMO and CCS, along with second-life applications for grid storage systems. Vehicle-to-grid applications with related control algorithms are explored in depth. The book also includes: Detailed solved examples demonstrating battery capacity calculation, lifetime estimation, thermal modeling, battery cooling, and charging time analysis Comprehensive coverage of battery management system design including SOC, SOP, SOH, SOE, and RUL estimation techniques Practical guidance on supercapacitors and hybrid energy storage systems with comparative analysis against lithium-ion batteries Complete exploration of charging topologies from constant current-constant voltage to pulse charging with charger sizing examples In-depth discussion of second-life battery applications including economic benefits, technical challenges, and grid integration strategies This book serves engineers, researchers, and graduate students working in electric vehicle development and energy storage. With case studies, real-world examples, and solved problems throughout, it provides the technical foundation and practical tools needed to design effective energy storage systems for electric transportation applications.
