    摘要: A protection circuit for a simulated battery cell having an output comprising an output voltage includes: at least one MOSFET connected to the output of the simulated battery cell for short-circuiting the output of the simulated battery cell; a capacitor connected to a gate electrode of the at least one MOSFET; an overvoltage detection device configured to charge the capacitor with the output voltage based on an overvoltage limit of the output voltage being exceeded; and a threshold voltage detection device configured to release the gate electrode based on a threshold value of a voltage at the capacitor not being reached.

    摘要: The voltage-measuring device is adapted to perform voltage measurements on a laminate assembly formed of separators and of at least one membrane electrode assembly stacked to form one or more electrochemical cells. It includes two measuring plates on which are distributed a plurality of electrical contacts spaced apart from each other and electrically insulated from each other, the measuring plates being configured to be arranged on either side of the laminate assembly, the measuring face of each measuring plate being applied against a respective separator in such a way that the electrical contacts located on this measuring face are in contact with the separator.

    摘要: A method for characterizing a rechargeable battery (91-96) that is at risk of lithium plating comprises: receiving (1001) operating values (41) of the battery (91-96) as time-series, wherein the operating values of the battery comprise a terminal voltage of the battery (U(t)) and a battery current of the battery (I(t)), determining (1002) a simulated terminal voltage (USim(t)) using a model of the battery (400) on the basis of the battery current (I(t)), comparing (1003) the simulated terminal voltage (USim(t)) with the terminal voltage (U(t)), determining (1004, 1004a, 1004b) a lithium plating state of the battery on the basis of the comparison.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a testing method and a testing system for a safe operating window of a lithium-ion battery in a squeezed state. The testing system includes a mechanical loading device, a heating device, a lithium-ion battery tester and a measuring device. By comparing the influence of a combined use of two or more of mechanical abuse with two different fixed variables, thermal abuse, and electrical abuse on critical conditions of thermal runaway of the lithium-ion battery, the influence of the different forms of abuse on the critical conditions of thermal runaway of the lithium-ion battery can be compared qualitatively and quantitatively, and these data can also be used to determine the safe operating windows of the lithium-ion battery under different abuse conditions.

    摘要: An apparatus is provided for measuring the power of electrolytes at different positions of a flow battery by switching six-way valves without reconnecting channels. With the measurements at the positions, weighting is processed to obtain power corresponding to charging statuses for determining accurate power. The charging and discharging of voltage and current of the battery are controlled for constant operations with high efficiency. Consequently, the efficiency of power conversion is improved; energy consumption is reduced; and the battery is always run within a safe power-range for avoiding accidents or damages to the battery. In addition, the present invention is further applicable to a device monitoring the features of a battery unit. The six-way valves online monitor the power at center positions by switching. The values measured at different positions are aimed at the abnormality of the battery unit for processing adjustment or offline replacement to maintain best operation performance.

    摘要: A battery diagnosis apparatus and a battery diagnosis method for accurately diagnosing a secondary battery are proposed. A pulse current generator, a voltage measuring instrument that measures a voltage response to application of a current pulse, a first data processing device that obtains a chronopotentiogram (CP) indicating a change in the voltage response over time and normalizes the CP, a database that saves normalized data, and a second data processing device that uses a correlation between the saved data and a battery state expressing factor prepared in advance to make a battery diagnosis are used. Desirably, the current pulse is a current in the same direction at the time of data obtainment and at the time of a diagnosis. Further, a noise filter for an input signal of the CP and resampling means for reducing the number of pieces of data input to the first data processing device are provided.
