This article proposes an integrated approach that combines stationary and vehicle-mounted mobile energy storage to optimize power system safety and stability under the conditions of limiting the total investment in both types of energy storages.

This issue can be resolved by incorporating battery storage systems along with renewable energy sources into the distribution system. The direct delivery of energy to customers is greatly aided by these renewable energy supplies. Partially, the grid supports such a system on a limited scale to guarantee the continuity of the energy supply.

By combining the high energy efficiency of BEVs with the rapid refueling capability and extended range of hydrogen fuel cells, this hybrid system addresses the limitations of current electric vehicles in scenarios demanding longer driving ranges or quicker refueling options. Our study encompasses both experimental and theoretical analyses, leading to the proposal of a BEV configuration that includes a smaller battery complemented by a fuel cell range extender. The conventional fuel cell electric vehicle (FCV) examined relies exclusively on hydrogen fuel and features a minimal battery without plug-in functionality, resulting in suboptimal energy economy. In contrast, our proposed BEV with a fuel cell range extender employs a larger battery capacity of 12 to 16 kWh alongside a downsized fuel cell stack and reduced hydrogen tank size. This configuration significantly improves energy recovery during braking and extends electric operation, thereby doubling the vehicle's energy economy. The proposed system not only enhances energy efficiency but also reduces the weight and volume of the overall energy storage system.

Since battery degradation is typically nonlinear, predicting SOC estimation with significantly less degradation is laborious. So, the estimation of SOC is an increasingly major problem in ensuring the effectiveness and safety of the battery. To overcome these issues in SOC estimation, we found many methods in the scientific literature, with differing degrees of precision and intricacy. The SOC of lithium-ion batteries can now be precisely predicted using supervised learning approaches. Reliable assessment of the SOC of a battery ensures safe operation, extends battery lifespan, and optimizes system performance. This work compares and studies the performance, benefits, and drawbacks of five supervised learning techniques for SOC estimates. Different SOC estimate methods are discussed, including both conventional and contemporary methods. These consist of techniques using voltage and current measurements and more complex algorithms using electrochemical models, impedance spectroscopy, and machine learning methods, incorporating the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning for flexible SOC estimation. In the future, SOC estimates will be a crucial component of a larger ecosystem for energy management, allowing for the seamless integration of energy storage into smart grids and adopting more environmentally friendly energy habits. The five methods we compare are random forest RF, gradient boosting machines, extra tree regressor, XG Boost, and DT. In these five methods, we are going to investigate, review, and discuss the current algorithms and overcome them to select one of the most precise and accurate algorithms to predict the accurate estimation of lithium-ion battery SOC.</p>","PeriodicalId":11765,"journal":{"name":"Energy Storage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141488791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
