Lead-acid battery model for hybrid energy storage
Résumé
This paper deals with the design of hybrid energy storage for an electric waste collection vehicle. The hybrid storage is made of lead-acid batteries and supercapacitors. A detailed lead-acid model is proposed in order to take into account the charge of the battery during regenerative braking. The vehicle was simulated on an urban driving cycle for a full working day. The reduction of the consumed energy due to an increased recovery capacity is outlined in this paper as a main benefit of the hybrid energy storage.
