Battery Types and Electrical Models: A Review

Batteries performance is an important issue for those systems with an implicated energy storage system where it is important to known three fundamental internal parameters, state of charge (SoC), state of health (SoH) and state of operation (SoF). In order to know these internal states some techniques as adaptive observers are use together with a battery model. In this paper, the main characteristics of the most common and commercial batteries, as well as the most cited batteries models in the literature are studied. Then a comparative analysis making emphasis in its qualities and applications is performed. The main idea of the paper is to provide a wide and fast view of the main characteristics together with the advantages and drawbacks of the batteries and battery models. In future works, this information can be a good reference to design algorithms for parameter identification or internal states estimation.
