Research on influence of battery aging on energy management economy for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle

During the utilization of PHEV, frequently discharge and charge cycles will inevitably lead to the battery aging, which affects the energy management and further affects the vehicular economy. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of battery aging on energy management economy for PHEV. Four lithium cells under different SoH are used to represent four different aging conditions during the vehicular utilization. Second-order RC model is employed as the battery model to illustrate the characteristic of battery aging. Based on a series PHEV model, two extreme matching schemes of battery topology are considered and analyzed. The influence of battery aging on vehicular economic performance is finally disclosed.
