Power Management of Hybrid Power Systems with Li-Fe Batteries and Supercapacitors for Mobile Robots

This paper presents an energy management strategy of a Li-Fe battery and supercapacitor hybrid power system to provide both high power density and energy density for mobile robots with fluctuating workloads. A two-phase power-optimization approach is proposed to exploit the high power density of sup...
