Low Pass Filter as Energy Management for Hybrid Energy Storage of Electric Vehicle: A Survey

The transportation sector contributes up to 35% of carbon dioxide pollution. Electric Vehicles (EVs) offer a pollution-free alternative but face a crucial challenge in their battery-based Energy Storage System (ESS). The solution to the battery issues is combining it with other ESS with high power density called a Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS). Energy Management Strategy (EMS) is used to distribute the power demand in the HESS. Low Pass Filters (LPFs) are one type of EMS that can be used to ensure the smooth flow of power between different energy storage elements. This article focuses on the pivotal role of Low Pass Filters (LPFs) within HESS for EVs, facilitating seamless power flow. The novelty lies in the comprehensive review of LPFs in this context, shedding light on their impact on energy management. Four LPF architecture classes are discussed: fixed cut-off, optimal cut-off, adaptive cut-off, and combination, referencing prior research. Additionally, a critical examination of challenges and limitations is provided, offering insights for researchers and practitioners.
