This paper presents the modeling of hybrid railway vehicles with hydrogen Fuel-Cells (FCs)/battery using a rule-based algorithm. The driving power of traction system is determined with the speed-torque curve by operation area of the electric machine and the electrical systems are modeled. The demanded power of electrical systems is set with the energy management system (EMS). The consumption of hydrogen is effectively managed with the subdivided operation region depending on the state of charge (SOC). The validity of the modeling is verified using MATLAB/Simulink.

The inconsistencies between paralleled battery cells are becoming more considerable issue in high capacity battery applications like electric vehicles. Due to differences in state-of-charge (SOC) and internal resistance within individual cells in parallel, charging or discharging current is not appropriately balanced to each cell in terms of SOC, which may shorten the lifetime or sometimes cause safety issues. In this paper, an intelligent cell-balancing algorithm is proposed to overcome the inconsistency issue especially for paralleled battery cells. In this scheme, SOC information collected in the sub-BMS module is sent to the main-BMS module, where the number of parallel cells to be connected to DC bus is continuously updated based on the suggested SOC comparison rule. To verify the method, operation of the algorithm on 4 paralleled battery cells are simulated on Matlab/Simulink. The simulation result shows that the SOCs of paralleled cells are evenly redistributed. It is expected that the proposed algorithm provides high reliable and prolong the life cycle and working capacity of the battery pack.

In this paper, in order to get the characteristics of the lithium secondary cell, such as charge and discharge characteristic, temperature characteristic, self-discharge characteristic and the capacity recovery rate etc, we build a thermal model that estimate the impedance of battery by experiment & simulation. In this one-dimensional model, Seven governing equations are made to solve seven variables c, $c_s,\;\Phi_1,\;\Phi_2,\;i_2$, j and T. The thermal model parameters used in this model have been adjusted according to the experimental data measured in the laboratory. The result(Voc, Impedance) of this research can be used in BMS(Battery Management System), so an efficient method of using battery is developed.

Secondary batteries become more important in our lives as the use of portable electric devices, such as camera, cellular phone, laptop, etc. Especially, because of their high energy densities and high voltage, lithium-ion batteries are being used in many systems. For the optimum design of such systems which include lithium-ion batteries, virtual prototype is required generally. However, since the complex chemical and physical processes are involved, the behavior of battery becomes harder to be predicted compared with that of electric and mechanic devices. This paper, proposes a new static model of lithium secondary battery, which accounts for nonlinear equilibrium potentials, rate and temperature dependencies, thermal effects, lifetime characteristic. The results of the simulation of the model are analysed and compared with experimental data to inspect their validity.

One-dimensional modeling was carried-out to predict the capacity loss of a lithium-ion polymer battery during cycling. The model not only accounted for electrochemical kinetics and ionic mass transfer in a battery cell, but also considered the parasitic reaction inducing the capacity loss. In order to validate the modeling, modeling results were compared with the measurement data of the cycling behaviors of the lithium-ion polymer batteries having nominal capacity of 5Ah from LG Chem. The cycling was performed under the protocol of the constant current discharge and the constant current and constant voltage charge. The discharge rate of 1C was used. The range of state of charge was between 1 and 0.2. The voltage was kept constant at 4.2 V until the charge current tapered to 50 mA. The retention capacity of the battery was measured with 1C and 5C discharge rates before the beginning of cycling and after every 100 cycles of cycling. The modeling results were in good agreement with the measurement data.

The recent incidents of Nuclear Power Plant(NPP) gave rise to a total power outage caused by the loss of the functions of the off-site and the emergency power supply. Currently, emergency power supply of NPP have been taken into account by Li-ion batteries instead of existing lead-acid batteries. In order to judge the applicability of the cylindrical Li-ion battery, it is necessary to analysis the results of various electrical tests. This paper investigates the basic electrical characteristics test of three types of cylindrical batteries in order to select the most suitable battery and estimate state of battery through equivalent circuit model and propose method to solve the problem.

Equalizing the state of charge of cell that affects the charge/discharge quality and efficiency of the battery through the charge/discharge characteristic experiments of battery source, we develope the high efficiency charge/discharge system which would be used in serial HEV with the constant engine-generator output. For this, establishes the electrical model of Ni-MH battery appropriate to the high efficiency charge/discharge conditions. There is no model of Ni-MH cell, so we used Ni-Cd model and obtain the Ni-MH model through the experiment. A reason that each cell has the same charge/discharge property for applying the cell model to serial/parallel connected battery source extensively is needed. Therefore, in this paper, propose the Ni-MH charger/discharger has the equalization charging function and selectable cut-off function.

The proposed mathematical model of the starter-generator system incorporates the motor speed, battery voltage and the desired current to estimate the moment generation capabilities of the starter-generator and the actual current of the battery system. The fundamentals for this mathematical modeling are the simulated results of the experimental data. These pertinent data are used in establishing the governing equations for the determination of motor moments, actual battery currents and efficiencies of the system's operation at different loading characteristics and speed regions. The derived equations will be used into simulation programs to predict the fuel efficiency, vehicle characteristics of a hybrid electric vehicle equipped with a transmission starter-generator which will be developed.

By introducing RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard) for reduction of greenhouse gas, Renewable energy has becoming widespread gradually. Due to a large number of advantages, wind power, which is one of Renewable energy, has standing in the spot-light rather than other Renewable energy. Wind power, however, is difficult to control output and because of severe output fluctuation, it would cause some problems when it is connected with system. Using battery as a solution for these problems has been researched all over the world. In this paper, the reliability modeling of windfarm connected battery and reliability evaluation of system are executed. Also the optimum battery capacity is selected through evaluating reliability cost.
