Abstract:
The implemented controller uses a cost function to find the optimal rate of charge/discharge for all batteries. In other words, this battery management system aims to find the minimum overall operating cost to run the batteries over a specific period of time.
Abstract:
A management framework is disclosed that achieves maximum energy storage device lifetime based on energy storage device life estimation and the price of energy. The management framework includes a battery life estimation from a supercycle model, for a time window between two consecutive full charges of a battery, which allows assessing a worst case scenario impact of all partial cycles within a supercycle on the battery life. The battery life estimation then considers each supercycle as a single discharge unit instead of treating each individual discharge period separately.
