Abstract:
A SOH indicating a deterioration degree of a secondary battery is estimated. SOH information of the secondary battery is acquired. Information indicating a battery state of the secondary battery and information indicating the battery state having a correlation with the SOH higher than a predetermined correlation are acquired. A SOH estimation model is built by synthesizing a regression model using a variance-covariance matrix, in which the SOH information is defined as an output, and the information indicating the battery state that has the correlation with the SOH higher than the predetermined correlation is defined as an input The SOH is estimated by inputting information indicating a current battery state of the secondary battery into the SOH estimation model.
Abstract:
A detector includes a measurement unit and a battery control unit. The measurement unit measures a measurement value indicating a battery state of a secondary battery. The battery control unit detects a sign of thermal runway in the secondary battery. The measurement unit determines whether a start-up signal is output based on the measurement value in a case where the battery control unit is in a sleep state, and outputs the start-up signal in a case where the start-up signal is output. The battery control unit starts by receiving the start-up signal from the measurement unit when the battery control unit is in the sleep state, executes arithmetic processing on the measurement value received from the measurement unit, and detects the sign of thermal runaway based on a calculated result of the arithmetic processing.
