Title: Control system considerations for an aluminum-air battery powered electric vehicle. Final report

Abstract

The study established basic motor-controller requirements and trade-offs between 30-cell and 60-cell aluminum-air battery systems. A sample controller design was evolved and basic characteristics were evaluated. Advantages of a 60-cell battery system over a 30-cell were found in the areas of control system costs, weights, and efficiency.
