Daniel Auger, IEEE senior member and Reader in Electrification, Automation and Control at Cranfield University comments on the future of the BEVs market and the challenges leaders are facing: “For the next few years, lithium-ion batteries will dominate the market, and this is a result of their high technology readiness level. We have recently established a testing ground for these kinds of vehicles and the battery technology that they rely upon. There has been extensive work on lithium-sulphur batteries as they have been found to be very light weight, however, their behaviour is more complex than lithium-ion. These are perhaps less important in static energy storage applications. At Cranfield University, we have been able to develop novel Battery Management System (BMS) algorithms that enable lithium-sulphur to work more efficiently, and we have exploited artificial intelligence and control theory to assist with this.electronicspecifier.com, 6d ago
