Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of the power management system utilizing supercapacitors for the hybrid vehicle. The researchers develops a system that has monitoring and cell balancing using a microcontroller board which controls, monitors, and charges the battery efficiently to avoid overcharging. The system uses a generator to charge the supercapacitor utilizing it for the electric motor. The supply was in single phase form and it uses step-up transformer with 48V volts switch-mode power supply. Before storing the energy gathered from the generator, the battery will undergo for cell balancing to ensure that all battery pair are equal to each other. The power management system in the project balances the supercapacitors that are connected in series.
