Battery Pack Grouping and Capacity Improvement for Electric Vehicles Based on a Genetic Algorithm

This paper proposes an optimal grouping method for battery packs of electric vehicles (EVs). Based on modeling the vehicle powertrain, analyzing the battery degradation performance and setting up the driving cycle of an EV, a genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to optimize the battery grouping topolog...
