India, Sept. 3 -- The National Institute of Technology Rourkela (NIT Rourkela) has developed and patented a hybrid energy storage system designed to reduce stress on electric vehicle (EV) batteries during sudden acceleration, braking and changes in speed. The system is optimised for low voltage EV platforms operating in the 24V to 60V direct current range, including electric scooters, motorcycles, e-rickshaws, cargo tricycles and campus and industrial utility vehicles.

The patented technology has been developed by Monalisa Pattnaik, associate professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, along with Pradyumna Kumar Behera and Karan Gupta at NIT Rourkela. The researchers are open to collaboration with EV original equipment manufacturers...
