Abstract
This paper targets the development of hybrid energy storage systems (ESS), based on the batteries-supercapacitors blending. In particular, we will develop two methodologies for the combined sizing/energy management of hybrid ESS. The first method assumes that the division of power between the sources is performed through lowlhigh pass filters, which allow us to evaluate, in a simple and rapid way, the trade-offs and economic gains due to the hybridization. The second approach relies on a nonlinear optimization problem, and seeks the minimization of the installation and electrical charging costs of the sources. Simulation results reveal the existence of a threshold in the EV range, from which the introduction of the supercapacitors is less beneficial in economic terms.
