Abstract

Climate change has become one of the most important global challenges that both developing and developed nations face in the 21st Century. In the transportation sector, electric vehicles (xEV) have emerged as a viable solution to fight climate change. However, the short longevity of the battery system, and their limited range which depends on the battery performance, remains a drawback. In the electric power sector, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind have emerged as strong energy assets, but these sources are intermittent and cause fluctuations on the electrical power grid. To solve these issues, renewable energy systems are sometimes coupled with battery energy storage system (BESS). This chapter reviews batteries, energy storage technologies, energy-efficient systems, power conversion topologies, and related control techniques.
