Abstract

The need of electric mobility (E-Mobility) systems increases daily, where the E-Mobility systems contribute in decreasing gas emissions from transportation Electric motorcycles (E-Motorcycles) are one of the E-Mobility systems, which reduce the problems resulting from traditional fossil fuel exhausts. This paper discusses the design and development of low-cost battery systems for E-Motorcycles, where a fast charging system is simulated, analyzed, and deployed to charge a battery package that outputs 72V & 8A at rated performance. Research and analysis of different power converter topologies are performed with respect the cost and system performance. A battery tester circuit is designed and built to estimate and evaluate the capacity of the battery cells for assembling battery modules and package in efficient scheme/configuration to maximize the output power and battery performance. BMS (battery management system) is modeled and simulated, which includes passive battery balancing technique and different methods of estimating the SoC (state of charge) using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simulation results analyze the BMS performance with respect the cost and performance of the battery modules and package, where column counting, Kalman filter, and built-in SIMULINK scheme are designed and developed to characterize the SoC performance while noise signals are subjected in the SoC estimation schemes. The proposed battery charging system, battery tester circuit, and BMS are built regarding the simulation performance. Various experiment and test profiles are conducted for the battery charging system, where the maximum efficiency achieved of the battery charging (boost charging) system is 84% because of limitations of the magnetic components.
