“…Supercapacitors have reached a significant energy density with the possibility to exchange high power with high efficiency. In [4,13], the application of supercapacitor on hybrid buses is presented, while a combined supercapacitor-battery storage is investigated in [14][15][16]; an analysis on the storage behavior of supercapacitor on hybrid medium size car is proposed in [17]. Moreover, power electronic converters achieve a high efficiency, due to the introduction of new technologies such as Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices.…”

The use of series architecture nowadays is mainly on hybrid buses. In comparison with series-parallel and parallel architectures, which are usually exploited on medium-size cars, the series architecture allows achieving internal combustion engine higher efficiency. The downside of this architecture, due to a double energy conversion (i.e., mechanical energy converted in electrical energy and electrical energy converted again in mechanical energy), is that additional losses are introduced. For this reason, the parallel and the series/parallel architectures were considered more suitable for hybrid medium-size cars. Nevertheless, the use of new technologies can change this scenario. Regarding storage systems, supercapacitors achieved a significant energy density, and they guarantee much higher efficiency than battery storage. Moreover, the use of wide-bandgap components for power electronic converters, such as silicon carbide devices, assure lower losses. In this scenario, the series architecture can become competitive on medium-size cars. This paper shows a review of various studies performed on this topic.
