Abstract

Fast charging technology has revolutionized the electric vehicle (EV) industry by addressing range anxiety and significantly reducing charging times. However, this convenience introduces challenges concerning battery longevity, as high charging currents and elevated temperatures accelerate battery degradation. This paper investigates the mechanisms through which fast charging impacts lithium-ion batteries, including thermal stress, lithium plating, and mechanical wear. It synthesizes findings from various studies, highlighting how fast charging can shorten battery lifespan by up to 20-30% compared to standard charging methods. Strategies to mitigate these effects, such as advanced materials, adaptive charging protocols, and efficient thermal management systems, are discussed. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the importance of standards and policies to promote sustainable fast charging practices. By balancing charging speed with long-term battery health, the EV industry can achieve widespread adoption while ensuring sustainability. This work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the trade-offs associated with fast charging and offers actionable insights for improving EV battery durability.

Abstract

This study introduces a photovoltaic (PV) emulator focusing on a developed numerical model specifically for half-cut cell PV panels under partial shading conditions (PSCs), addressing a gap in research focused on full-cell models. The emulator uses a DC-DC buck converter and PI control to accurately replicate half-cut cell PV panel characteristics. A cost-effective hardware prototype validated the model's effectiveness in emulating multi-peak PV behavior under dynamic PSCs with up to three peaks and user-defined shading. This flexible and affordable platform enables efficient testing of MPPT algorithms and grid integration for PV systems using increasingly prevalent half-cut cell technology. Simulation results show high accuracy, with MAPE in power as low as 0.175% under uniform irradiance conditions and less than 0.302% under multi-peaks PSCs. Hardware validation confirms reliability with low MAPE in the power of 0.499% under uniform conditions and below 0.614% multi-peak PSCs, demonstrating the developed half-cut cell PV panel numerical model's accuracy in reproducing dynamic shading effects for renewable energy research.
