Different Types of Energy Storage Systems for Electric Vehicles and Their Discharge Characteristic Analysis

The demand for electric vehicles is increasing due to their many advantages over traditional vehicles, one of which is reduced carbon emission. The battery pack is the foundation of an electric vehicle's functionality. It serves as the primary energy source for electric cars. Energy is stored using a variety of energy storage technologies. Depending on the method employed to store the energy once, it has been transformed into electrical energy, it may take the form of chemical, mechanical, electrochemical, or thermal energy. This study describes and analyzes the most excellent possible energy storage solution for batteries in electric vehicles. Different batteries’ discharge characteristics are reproduced in the MATLAB/Simulink platform with different parameters such as nominal voltage, rated capacity, initial SOC, and response time.
