Architecture of battery swapping station . When compared to the other electric vehicle charging techniques, the battery swap station is a quick and efficient way that enables the customer to continue driving without being distracted. To connecting to the grid, BSSs have a bidirectional flow of power.
When the vehicle enters the battery swapping station, the bottom cover plate of the battery swapping station will open to start the battery loading and unloading process.
The detection of internal water accumulation in the battery swapping station is also very important, so it needs to be checked whether the rainwater in the battery cartridge is completely discharged to prevent internal electrical short circuits and guarantee the safety and reliability of the battery in the battery swapping station.
The battery swapping operation is modeled by Eqs. (3.36) and (3.37). In the battery swapping operation, the fully charged battery in the station is replaced with a depleted battery of an electric vehicle which arrives at the station. At the time of battery swapping, the fully charged battery is replaced with an empty battery.
Battery swapping stations, in a way, prolong battery lifetime by enabling controlled charging with low currents and reducing the instances when fast charging becomes unavoidable. Other advantages of battery swapping stations can be summarized as: Removing major impediment to large-scale EV adoption.
Although a plurality of spaced notches or recesses on the (under)side of the battery housing is preferred for engaging the drive mechanism of the battery swapping station, other options such as rings, projections, hooks, etc. are equally viable.
