商品簡介
A veteran researcher in electric vehicle propulsion and energy storage technology, Weicker offers a broad reference to lithium-ion batteries, which are offering an alternative to the heavy and bulky lead-acid batteries that were long the only choice for large-format battery systems. Their improved energy density, cycle life, power capacity, and durability, he says, can give electric vehicles meaningful ranges, can be used in grid-tied storage systems to accommodate intermittent electric production, and may lead to marine and air transport soon. His topics include large-format systems, architectures, battery management system functionality, communications, battery models, limit algorithms, state-of-health estimation algorithms, safety, and robustness and reliability.
