Techniques To Overcome Energy Storage Limitations In Electric Vehicles, Matthew J. Hansen
Techniques To Overcome Energy Storage Limitations In Electric Vehicles, Matthew J. Hansen
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Fall 2023 to Present
Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, battery limitations (cost, size, and weight) complicate electric vehicle adoption. While important research on battery development is ongoing, this dissertation discusses two main approaches to overcome those limitations within the existing battery technology paradigm. Those thrusts are: improving battery health through an optimal charging strategy and minimizing necessary battery size through dynamic wireless power transfer. In this dissertation, relevant literature is discussed, with opportunities for further development considered. Within the two thrusts, three objectives sharpen the focus of the research presented here. First, a planning tool is defined for a battery electric bus fleet. …
