The supercapacitors aim to manage the peak power and thus increase the lifetime of the battery. A control scheme of this HESS is obtained by inversion of its energetic macroscopic representation. This control scheme enables different energy management strategies using a distribution input to share the energy between both devices. A switching strategy and a frequency strategy have been tested using this same control scheme. This flexible control scheme has been validated in real time by using a real HESS and a hardware-in-the-loop simulation of the traction system of an electric vehicle. %@ 2042-9738 %T Flexible real-time control of a hybrid energy storage system for electric vehicles %B IET Electrical Systems in Transportation %D September 2013 %V 3 %N 3 %P 79-85 %I Institution of Engineering and Technology %U https://digital-library.theiet.org/;jsessionid=1269ujadw8ia.x-iet-live-01content/journals/10.1049/iet-est.2012.0051 %G EN
