Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis for Charging Profiles Assessment of Lithium Ion Batteries

Charging profiles play an important role in improving lithium ion battery performance and lifetime in power application such us hybrid electric vehicle and renewable energy. Indeed several factors must be taken into account for an adequate choice of battery charging profile. These factors are directly linked to reliability, the required charging time and the complexity of the regulation and control system. In this context, authors propose a consistent approach essentially performed by applying the multi-criteria decision method PROMETHEE II.
