Abstract:

Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESS), composed of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors, may provide an excellent alternative for the state-of-the-art in terms of modern energy applications. This paper adopts an investigative approach to reveal the interaction between thermal and electrical properties of hybrid systems using experimental analysis and simulation models. By combining the high energy density of lithium-ion batteries with the fast-charging and discharging ability of supercapacitors, their HESS has the potential to solve the structural and thermal issues of energy storage systems. While most studies concentrate on the single device properties and pay little attention to how thermal constraints affect electrical performance in hybrid configurations, with very little work on integrated models. Complete models capable of predicting and controlling the thermal-electrical coupling in the mentioned hybrid systems do not exist yet, and this fact is a bottleneck for practical applications in EV applications. Further, several roots were uncovered that determine how well a lithium-ion battery combines with supercapacitors, such as charge/discharge rates, thermal management, and energy density. A computational fluid dynamics model has emerged to simulate the compartments' thermal effects and surrounding airflows. These results show that effective thermal management is critical for the performance and longevity of electrical devices in hybrid systems. This paper offers a detailed study of the thermoelectric synergies in HESS using lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. The results could lead to powerful new pathways for designing cheaper, longer-lasting energy storage solutions vital in renewable and electric vehicle technologies.
