Battery Swapping Station (BSS) proposes an alternative way of refueling Electric Vehicles (EVs) that can lead towards a sustainable transportation ecosystem. BSS has significant potential to function as a grid scale energy storage. This paper provides a broad review of relation of BSS with EVs and power grid.
In the active mode, a second vehicle drives up to one whose battery is low or dying so that they can switch batteries. Recently, a unique system for rapidly replacing EV batteries was developed . Be put in a mobile BSS, which is a modified vehicle. Battery replacement and removal are performed simultaneously.
A battery storage project developed by TagEnergy is now connected and energised on the electricity transmission network, following work by National Grid to plug the facility into its 132kV Drax substation in North Yorkshire.
EVs cost will decrease as they won't own the battery. This ownership of the battery can be debated. The cost of investment of BSS will be much higher if all batteries are owned by BSS. Nonetheless, whoever owns the battery can earn profit through the sellback of power to the grid during the off-peak period. 12. Conclusion
In , a new business model for shared battery stations was proposed. The process of battery charging, discharging and swapping is optimized through divisional battery control, and the problem of rational distribution of large-scale batteries was solved.
This paper discusses the concept of battery swapping stations (BSS) for electric vehicles (EVs). This concept is superior to the EV charging station when compared in many aspects, like the time the EV driver needs to spend at the EV charging station.
