Abstract
Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming very popular because they help to reduce pollution and save energy. But one big problem is charging, because normal charging take very long time. Many researchers study fast charging methods to make EV charging faster, safe and more efficient. Recent studies show that reconfigurable battery systems can help a lot. These system can change their connection or structure to charge faster and reduce loss. Recent advancements in reconfigurable battery systems have demonstrated significant potential for addressing these challenges by dynamically modifying battery connections and configurations according to charging requirements. Some papers show modular battery system with coupled inductors or energy modules for better performance. Other research shows that distributed control and advanced predictive control can make battery life longer and charging safer. Furthermore, accurate power management, lower battery stress, and longer battery life during high-power charging are all possible using distributed control methods and model predictive control tactics. Also, some studies talk about bidirectional charging which allow battery to give power back to grid. Simulation and real-life test show that hybrid and modular battery system can improve efficiency and reduce switching losses. Additionally, the battery system may be adjusted to various working situations using intelligent configuration selection and optimisation techniques, offering a balance between battery health, efficiency, and charging speed. Overall, combining reconfigurable battery system, control strategy, optimization and fast charging method can make EV charging faster, safer and reliable. This can help to make EV more usable for everyone and support sustainable energy future.
