Ripple voltage and the resulting ripple current imposed on a battery DC bus could have an adverse effect on the battery and electronic equipment connected to the battery. Consequently, this ripple should be taken into consideration when maintaining, testing, and. . The result is a ripple current flowing into the battery. The amplitude of the ripple is primarily the result of the rectifier/charger design, charger output filtering, and the type and magnitude of the load placed in parallel with the battery. A simulation model is presented which is based on an artificial reference DC bus, according to ISO 21498-2, and uses driving cycles in order to obtain current profiles relevant. . An perfectly wired installation will under full load give a ripple of +/- 0,6 to 0,8 volt. much as possible. But the more resistance there is, there more the voltage will drop. • Due to ripple during charging the charge power is reduced. Ripple current is the AC variation that remains overlaid on the steady DC output of a power supply. The reality is a slightly bumpy waveform, not the flat, uniform. . The ability to simulate these ripples is essential for testing battery durability and performance under realistic operating conditions. The objective is to mimic them accurately to study the effects of these disturbances on battery responses over time (battery aging through cycling) and optimize. . Does current ripple accelerate battery degradation? If so, under what conditions? What is the tradeoff between cost of suppression and accepting some extra degradation? Uddin et al.
