In this paper, a development of model based battery SOC indicator is described. The proposed method is independent upon initial SOC, is reliable on the sudden change of load, and could estimate the available driving distance. The mathematical model of battery which has relation of the current, voltage and SOC estimates the SOC by least square estimation to minimize the error between measured voltage and estimated voltage. For experiment, the charging and discharging system using computer was designed to acquire the current and voltage data for model. The feasibility in electric vehicle was confirmed by variable load testing using the developed SOC indicator by stand-alone type microcontroller.

In this paper, in order to improve safety of hybrid electric vehicle a fault detection algorithm is introduced. The proposed algorithm uses SVDD techniques. Two methods for learning a lot of data are used in this technique. One method is to learn the data incrementally. Another method is to remove the data that does not affect the next learning. Using lines connecting support vectors selection of removing data is made. Using this method, lot of computation time and storage can be saved while learning many data. A battery data of commercial hybrid electrical vehicle is used in this study. In the study fault boundary via SVDD is described and relevant algorithm for virtual fault data is verified. It takes some time to generate fault boundary, nevertheless once the boundary is given, fault diagnosis can be conducted in real time basis.

The utility grid has a supply of electric energy which is larger than the usually required power consumption under peak load condition. So, power distribution is required to have a heavy capacity because of peak-load period. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a 10kW rapid charger system which has a function of load compensation at the peak-load condition. The proposed system supplies power demanded by peak-load through transferring energy in the battery of electric vehicle to the grid. V2G operation is verified through simulation performed by 10kW rapid-charger.

The paper investigates how the semiconductor and electric vehicle industries are addressing safety and security concerns in the era of autonomous driving, emphasizing the prioritization of safety over security for market competitiveness. Collaboration between these sectors is deemed essential for maintaining competitiveness and value. The research suggests solutions such as advanced autonomous driving technologies and enhanced battery safety measures, with the integration of AI chips playing a pivotal role. However, challenges persist, including the limitations of big data and potential errors in semiconductor-related issues. Legacy automotive manufacturers are transitioning towards software-driven cars, leveraging artificial intelligence to mitigate risks associated with safety and security. Conflicting safety expectations and security concerns can lead to accidents, underscoring the continuous need for safety improvements. We analyzed the expansion of electric vehicles as a means to enhance safety within a framework of converging security concerns, with AI chips being instrumental in this process. Ultimately, the paper advocates for informed safety and security decisions to drive technological advancements in electric vehicles, ensuring significant strides in safety innovation.

The battery pack, a main component of NEV(Neighborhood Electric Vehicle), needs cooling system when it is charging or discharging to prevent the degradation of the battery charging efficiency. The purpose of this study is to analyse the effects of cooling methods, changing positions of inlet and outlet and changing area ratios of inlet and outlet. It has been observed that in the point of uniform cooling suction from the exit side is more efficient than blowing from the inlet. And there is a suitable inlet/outlet area ratio in maximizing the mass flow rate. The numerical analyse using a commercial code STAR-CCM+ version 4.02 were used for the study.

Most eco-friendly cars can adopt the concept of an integrated battery charger (IBC), which uses currently available motor drive systems. The IBC has a lot of strong points such as low cost and minimum space for the high voltage battery charger. On the other hand, it also has some defects caused by its structure. In this paper, the shortcomings of the conventional IBC for PHEVs with interior permanent magnet motors are discussed, and two advanced IBCs with improved performance are presented. Compared with the conventional IBC, the two advanced IBCs have plenty of strengths such as low common noise, high efficiency, simple sensing methods, etc. Then, the digital control algorithm is modified and a power loss calculation is carried out with simulation software. Finally, experimental results are provided to show the performance of the IBC systems.

Charge equalization scheme for HEV lithium-ion battery system is proposed in this paper, where all the primary windings with in parallel bi-directional switches are coupled in series to provide the equalizing energy from the whole battery string to the specific under charged cells. Moreover, to realize minimized size of equalization circuit employing the proposed cell balancing scheme, the optimal power rating design rule according to equalization time and SOC distribution of imbalance is proposed. A prototype of HEV lithium-ion battery system of four cells shows the outstanding charge equalization performance while maintaining greatly reduced size of cell balancing circuit.
