Battery behavior: a complexity best taken into account by modeling
For around fifteen years now, IFPEN has been focusing on modeling conventional batteries to represent their nominal operation (electric and thermal behavior during normal operation), throughout their lifetime (...) and in the event of thermal runaway (failure, improper use)...
Issues and Foresight

Electric vehicles
All-electric vehicles operate with a battery and an electric motor. The large-capacity battery has to be recharged with the vehicle stationary at a charging station.
Issues and Foresight

Hybrid vehicles
The vehicle is equipped with a combined IC/electric powertrain system and two energy storage systems: a fuel tank and a battery.
