To improve the performance of long-range electric vehicles, you can develop a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) that combines the high-energy density of lithium-ion batteries and the high-power density of ultra-capacitors. See how a high-efficiency, lightweight bidirectional DC-DC converter controlled with CompactRIO can optimize the real-time power flow between the ultra-capacitors, battery, and load. Also learn how you can use the new FPGA co-simulation design methodology and NI power electronics toolbox to develop the CompactRIO controller and protection scheme.
