In the configuration shown in Fig-

and the battery pack contribute to

stead of using 68 cells for 270 V direct bus
connection, a 135 V battery pack consisting
of 34 cells in series is connected to the bus
via a bidirectional DC-DC synchronous buck/
boost converter. The system schematic in
Figure 15 uses a 100 kHz DC-DC converter
to interface the battery pack to the 270 VDC
bus. In this configuration, the generator con-

4. Discussion
Simulation results from various HESM
configurations indicate that energy storage
devices (ultracapacitors and Li-ion batteries)
are capable of supporting bidirectional ac-
tuator load while the generator mostly sup-
ports the steady load on the power bus. Also,
direct connection of energy storage devices
onto the power bus may be preferable from
a reliability point of view but doing so will
likely result in overdesign in terms of bus
voltage regulation and/or energy storage re-
quirement. Use of DC-DC converters to in-
terface energy storage devices to the power
bus provides an opportunity for the designer
to optimize the overall system by reducing
the effective voltage level of the energy stor-
age banks/packs, thereby reducing the num-
ber of cells in the energy storage bank/pack.
This, in turn, will help optimize the overall
system in terms of electrical performance
as well as mass and volume. Use of DC-DC
converters also helps to match the number of
energy storage elements in the bank/pack to
the system required energy storage amount.
Additionally, by using DC-DC converters, the
bus voltage can be regulated by the generator
controller whereas the converter controllers
can be used to control the current sourced/
