Development in energy storage system for electric transportation: A comprehensive review

The serious growing concern of climate change has pushed the adoption of a sustainable transportation system. In this regard, electric vehicles are the utmost feasible solution. However, the commercialization of on-road electric vehicles faces multiple challenges such as an adequate number of charging stations availability, charging time and range anxiety. To overcome the issues of charging time and range anxiety, the energy storage system plays a vital role. Thus, in this paper, the various technological advancement of energy storage system for electric vehicle application has been covered which includes the support for the superiority of the Li-ion batteries in terms of various parameters. The various aspect such as expected futurist development in EV battery technology, capacity demand, battery sizing and life cycle of Li-ion batteries are well explained. Further, the details of the Battery management system with working and operation have been explained under the cell balancing, consistency, charging/discharging control, state of charge, state of health, and improved life span. Next in the drift, the advancement in the battery thermal management system is covered. Moreover, the manuscript has covered the detailed significance of the alternative energy storage systems followed by the comparative analysis which reveals their challenges, application and limitations. In last the role of the energy storage system for sustainable development is explained.
