The main challenge associated with renewable energy generation is the intermittency of the
renewable source of power. Because of this, back-up generation sources fuelled by fossil …

Transport is one of the largest sources of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions and
fossil-fuels consumption. This has lead to a growing demand for hybrid-electric vehicles …

The UltraBattery, developed by CSIRO Energy Technology in Australia, is a hybrid energy
storage device which combines an asymmetric super-capacitor and a lead–acid battery in …

The objective of this study is to produce and test the hybrid valve-regulated Ultrabattery
designed specifically for hybrid-electric vehicle duty, ie, high-rate partial-state-of-charge …

Nowadays, hybrid energy systems have a great applicability for both vehicle and stationary
purposes. The design, development, and testing of these systems are not straightforward …

In order to accommodate regenerative braking energy input in hybrid and mild hybrid
vehicles while maintaining boosting power at high rates of discharge, valve-regulated lead …

Future vehicle applications require the development of reliable and long life batteries
operating under high-rate partial-state-of-charge (HRPSoC) working conditions. Work …

The ageing quantification of ultracapacitors in cycle-life tests has been studied. Current
profiles and the characteristics of the ultracapacitors used in hybrid and electric vehicle …

High-power lead–acid batteries have been used for a rather long time in various
applications, especially for uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) and starting of …

Fuel cells achieve more and more attention due to their potential of replacing the traditional
internal combustion engine (ICE) used in the area of transportation. In this PhD thesis a fuel …
