National Renewable Energy Laboratory Innovation for Our Energy Future

Motivation

  • HEVs are effective at reducing per-vehicle fuel use
  • Incremental cost remains a barrier to wider market

penetration

– Energy storage system (ESS) arguably the largest contributor

  • ESS cost reductions/performance improvements 

improved vehicle-level cost vs. benefit

– Increase market demand and aggregate fuel savings

  • Lower-energy ESS (LEESS) considerations

– Technical evaluation—can it do the job? – Potential for lower cost with less energy? – Potential benefits from alternative technology?

  • Better life, better cold temperature performance

  • Motivation: Ucap potential for superior cycle life, cold temperature performance

and long-term cost reductions

  • Bench tested Ucaps and retrofitted vehicle to operate in 3 configurations

Findings: HEV with ultracapacitors performed at least as well as the stock configuration with a NiMH battery

BAS = belt alternator starter (“mild” HEV); NiMH = nickel-metal hydride; Ucap = ultracapacitor

Related Background Work: NREL evaluation for GM of replacing NiMH batteries with ultracapacitors in the 42-V Saturn Vue BAS HEV

Additional Background: NREL analysis for USABC of full-HEV fuel savings sensitivity to energy storage size

  • NREL performed simulations and analyzed test data in conjunction with an EES

TT Workgroup

– Re-evaluating ESS targets established in the late 1990s / early 2000s

USABC = United States Advanced Battery Consortium EES TT = The FreedomCAR/USDRIVE Electrochemical Energy Storage Technical Team

  • USABC established targets and issued a Request for Proposal Information

(RFPI) to support LEESS development

– See: http://www.uscar.org/guest/article_view.php?articles_id=87 – Open to any ESS technology (very high power batteries, electrochemical double layer capacitors,

  • r asymmetric supercapacitors)
  • Results suggested power-assist HEVs can still

achieve high fuel savings with lower energy and potentially lower cost ESS – see:

Current Project: Hardware evaluation of potential full-HEV LEESS devices

  • Setting up a reusable vehicle test platform

using a 2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid

– CRADA with Ford to facilitate

  • Second set of production subcomponents to

interface with LEESS cells

– Custom state estimator sends instantaneous state-of-charge (SOC) and power capability information to vehicle controller

  • Maintain stock operating capability (using

production NiMH cells)

– Able to switch between operation using the stock battery and using the LEESS device under test – Provides back-to-back performance comparison

Summary and Next Steps

  • Reducing cost/improving performance of the ESS can improve HEV

marketability and aggregate petroleum savings

  • Previous analysis suggests that alternative technologies can

compete in the HEV ESS space

– High-power batteries, ultracapacitors, or asymmetric devices

  • Hardware testing in current project intended to validate previous

analysis and provide in-use evaluation of LEESS devices

  • Bench testing results of initial LIC LEESS continue to look promising
  • Next step: evaluate LIC pack in converted vehicle

– Back-to-back testing with NiMH vs. LIC

Consistent findings from analysis of production HEV dyno data*

* Thanks to ANL for providing access to some of the raw dynamometer test data

Results adjusted for round-trip efficiency (to provide actual ESS energy state)

* In-use energy window for charge-sustaining tests: same range as simulation results * Total “nominal” battery energy much larger, some of it used occasionally

  • Even small energy windows can provide HEV fuel savings
  • Significant fuel savings can be achieved with an ≈165 Wh energy

window (much less than the previous 425 Wh minimum goal)

  • Reasons for large total “nominal” energy in today’s production HEVs

– Infrequent drive cycle use (e.g., long uphill/downhill grades) – Achieving longer cycle life from reduced SOC swings – Energy comes along with sizing for power capability (particularly at cold temperatures)

– Note that power dominates cost in HEV batteries (high P/E ratio)
