ELECTRONIC ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND DISPLAY— "SMART" BATTERIES... 

Although based on a simplified parametric description of the electronic structure of the molecule and of the leads, the framework discussed in this section has the advantage of leading directly to the computation of measurable quantities (the I-V curves). Thus, it is possible to relate the experimental observations to the quantum-mechanical properties of the systems under investigation, e.g., the electronic energy-level structure of the molecule and the relation of such levels to the energy of the leads. A timely improvement in this direction will come from the implementation of manageable methods, which combine a parameter-free atomistic description of the electronic... 

Chemical and electrochemical processes that cause materials corrosion usually involve both reduction-oxidations and acid-base reactions. The reduction-oxidation reaction is dependent on the electron energy level of the particles involved in the reaction, and hence managing the electrode potential of corroding materials may control the corrosion reaction. The acid-base reaction, on the other side, is determined by the HSAB characteristics (hard and soft acids and bases) of the particles involved in the reaction. It is mainly through the acid-base property that the environmental substances such as aggressive salts affect the corrosion of solid materials. 

In contrast to lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion battery systems have always an integrated battery management, which has to be able to communicate with the power electronic components (battery inverter, charge controller) and the supervisory energy management system. Therefore, the power electronic components have to provide an appropriate interface. Furthermore, the internal battery management of the battery inverter or the charge controller, which is used for lead-acid batteries or nickel based batteries, has to be deactivated. 

When the energy barrier proves to be much greater than the thermal energy of the electrons (AU kT), the number of electrons that manage to overcome this barrier becomes negligible. 

In addition, it seems interesting to have only one energy source distributed to the disparate electronic interfaces, thus allowing better energy management. On the other hand, each electronic interface could have its own computation and storage capacities, which would allow an allocation of resources and a weight distribution. 

The optimum energy management of the vehicle and its components is one of the primary challenges of fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles. The difficulties result from the high nonlinearity of the control path (fuel cell, power electronics, battery, and electric machine) and subsequently the complexity of the control architecture. 

In most cases, successful hybridization of two or more power sources is expected to prolong the cycle life of a resulting systan since each component performs at the power and/or energy conditions that are close to their respective optimum range. The best utilization of a hybrid system is often assured by the sophisticated hybrid electronic battery management system (BMS) much work has been done on simplifying the BMS for the emerging hybrid power systems [1, 11-15]. Even with the current improvements, the need for a DC/DC converter to link the hybrid components to the power bus still contributes to mass, value, Ufe, and cost analysis of the hybrid system and presents an opportunity for improvement.

Quantum mechanics is primarily concerned with atomic particles electrons, protons and neutrons. When the properties of such particles (e.g. mass, charge, etc.) are expressed in macroscopic units then the value must usually be multiplied or divided by several powers of 10. It is preferable to use a set of units that enables the results of a calculation to he reported as easily manageable values. One way to achieve this would be to multiply eacli number by an appropriate power of 10. However, further simplification can be achieved by recognising that it is often necessary to carry quantities such as the mass of the electron or electronic charge all the way through a calculation. These quantities are thus also incorporated into the atomic units. The atomic units of length, mass and energy are as follows ...
