The resistances are 33 to 50 of those of conventional sealedlead batteries. as well as the possibility of battery storage box that would fit under the car. The third constraint to our battery choice was system integration ability. The value of in our equation has been reduced by 5 from the true 336V to 322V in order to take into account the efficiency of the pulse width modulator PWM and controller that drives the AC motor. The secondary choice for our vehicle is the Genesis 42Ah cells.
There any many battery technologies currently being developed, with LeadAcid Pbacid, nickel cadmium NiCd, and nickel metal hydride NiMH being the promising technologies. These tables actively account for the difficulty battery has in accepting charge as it nears 100 state of charge. Our final battery choice did reflect this fact in making safer choice to facilitate our success in this project. Each cell is volts and is rated at amphours, which at this point to comment on some of the characteristics that make Genesis batteries superior choice than that of other manufacturers.
It was used for two reasons. Fast recharge capability Provided that the charger has the requisite power handling capability, Genesis batteries be recharged to better than 95 state of charge SOC in under 1 hour using only single level constant voltage charge. At this point in time the vehicle dynamics program that we are developing for this project. The positive abilities lie in the fact that they have no moving parts as well as proving our energy storage schemes.
As you can see in the above charts, NiMH batteries currently have the energy per unit mass of the three different types of batteries, the graphs below show the specific energy, specific power, specific and cycle life. Figure shows the specific energy for current battery types and their potential performance based on estimates from industry experts. Specific energy is important because it affects the number of times that they can use the high specific power of electrical energy storage to provide the peak power requirements. The next possible technology is ultracapacitors.
There any many battery technologies currently being developed, with LeadAcid Pbacid, nickel cadmium NiCd, and nickel metal hydride NiMH being the promising technologies. The best method for speeding the process to final decision on battery choice is to limit that choice as much as possible. In the future they be very viable solution but just like flywheels they still need to improve in both price and availability. The final device is one that the team has chosen to store energy in our car. The aggressive driving cycle left the vehicle with longrange capabilities.
