Empirical Analysis of High Voltage Battery Pack Cells for Electric Racing Vehicles

Abstract

This paper examines the specifications of lithium battery cells, which are considered one of the most vital sources for electrical energy storage units. The specifications have been covered to associate battery performance with its usage for electrically powered motor vehicles. With the motivation of rapid deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) around the world, the key contribution of this study is to provide a comparative investigation of well-known commercially available Li-ion battery cells used as a pack for electric race car. Five lithium cells from different manufacturers were analyzed for start voltage, end voltage, current, and the use of active cooling under different test conditions. Thermal imaging was used to provide more comprehensive analysis of tested battery packs. The outcomes of this experimental investigation are described in the sections below in the order in which the analyses were conducted. The key findings of this study are presented in the conclusion section.

Retracted Article: Mathematical Model of Hybrid and Electric Cars Control System

“…Contactor modules (Kx) and module control and balancing units, battery management systems and insulation monitoring modules are real physical objects. The software part of the simulation complex also contains a load and temperature model, a protective insulation model, a VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) simulation, and a failure model [9][10][11][12][13].…”

Challenges of Electric Vehicles and Their Prospects in Malaysia: A Comprehensive Review

“…It does not emit tailpipe emissions because it runs entirely on electricity. Figure 3 shows the simplified drivetrain of an electric vehicle and its power train [32]. An electric car charger port is used to charge the battery pack as only electricity can be charged.…”

The Effect of Driving Style on Battery Electric Vehicle Range

“…The operating principle of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) may differ from those of an internal combustion engine (ICE). A driver who uses an ICE is not necessarily involved in an economic drive for a variety of reasons [1,2]. One of the reasons is the difference between BEVs and ICEs in the consumption of fuel.…”
