“…Using supercapacitors in conjunction with batteries combines the high power characteristic of the supercapacitor and the high energy capacity of the battery. In a HEV, the use of supercapacitors allows extending the life of the battery (by reducing the depth of charge/discharge of the battery) and enables the battery to be downsized (by reducing the peak loads on the battery) [8,[20][21][22].…”

Increasing concerns about the depletion of fossil resources and the issue of environment lead to a global need for producing more clean energy from renewable sources. Ocean is appreciated as a vast source of renewable energies. Considering marine renewable energies, it can be noticed that significant electrical power can be extracted from marine tidal currents. However, the power harnessed from marine tidal currents is highly fluctuant due to the swell effect and the periodicity of the tidal phenomenon. To improve the power quality and make the marine generation system more reliable, energy storage systems can play a crucial role. In this paper, an overview and the state of art of energy storage technologies are presented. Characteristics of various energy storage technologies are analyzed and compared for this particular application. The comparison shows that high-energy batteries like sodium-sulphur battery and flow battery are favorable for smoothing the long-period power fluctuation due to the tide phenomenon while supercapacitor and flywheel are more suitable for eliminating short-period power disturbances due to swell or turbulence phenomena.This means that hybrid storage technologies are needed for achieving optimal results in tidal marine current energy applications.

“…Energy management of active hybrid power supply has already been studied recently, for example by Thounthong et al [8], [9] who studied the control and regulation of some hybrid system; by Di Napoly et al [10] who worked on a hybrid system (ultracapacitors + batteries) for powered vehicles; by Ayad et al [11] who show the control of a unregulated hybrid system; by Hosseinzadeh et al [12] who studied the performance of a hybrid system consisting of a PEM fuel cell and lead acid battery or by Burke et al [6] who propose different topologies applied in electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles, among other authors. In this way the literature reveals that previous efforts have focused on the development, design and modeling of hybrid power subsystems, in order to verify its behaviour in function of the operating conditions and the control strategy.…”

Abstract.The renewable energies together with other technologies in low CO 2 emissions and the efficiency must be the base of the most sustainable new energetic system. Currently the logistics industry has a large number of vehicles (forklifts, horizontal order pickers, automated guided vehicles AGVs, tow vehicles, captive fleets applied to logistic...) intended to transport goods inside the plant. A problem associated with these logistic vehicles (electric or combustion type) is the charging time and balancing time in the batteries. Solution to the problem approached would be a system that requires a power charging times relatively short (similar to filling in the combustion system) and at the same time that have zero emissions (do not forget that they are operating in a closed environment). Typically, automated guided vehicles and forklifts are operated with leadacid batteries. The replacement of the traction battery with active hybrid power supply provide advantages as longer operating time, no recharging batteries, sizing of the fuel cell can be reduced and energy recovery during braking. Thus, energy management of an Active Hybrid Power System based on Li+ batteries, ultracapacitors and PEM fuel cells, is presented in this paper. Original lead-acid battery can be easily replaced by this new system implemented for industrial vehicles.

“… Powertrain system design mainly contributes to the efficiency of vehicles. The leading parameter is not the power to be supplied, as is generally the case in FC powertrain design [12,15,16]. In the race, the constraint is to travel the Luneta Park track: 1.2 km per lap, for 10 laps (12 km) to finish the race within 24 min (average speed = 30 km/h).…”

This paper reports the analysis of an automatic intelligent controller for driving a prototype fuel cell electric vehicle over different obstacles while maintaining all systems at maximum efficiency during completion of a race within a specified time. The objective is to reduce driving errors, such as excessive driving, or over revving the throttle while controlling the energy usage at the minimum point and improving driving skills for the Shell Eco-marathon Asia 2014 race. The vehicle is equipped with a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell system, a brush DC motor and a DC/DC converter. This prototype vehicle is a single-seater type of car and has a streamlined body shape that is designed for energy-efficiency racing where the objective is to achieve the furthest distance with the least amount of fuel in a specified time. In the design process, the car's fuel-cell efficiency, energy demand, track behavior, motor efficiency analysis, and driving control strategy need to be monitored and used to verify the designed automated intelligent controller. Experiments on the automated intelligent controller were undertaken to analyze the performance of the powertrain system for a certain given time. This powertrain system for automated intelligent controller analysis is part of the energy efficiency study of the electric vehicle. It forms the knowledge base for the next detailed energy efficiency analysis.
