    摘要: The present invention describes a method using temperature data to protect battery health during bidirectional charging in conjunction with monetization activities. The method includes receiving temperature data and determining anticipated energy needs of a building. The temperature data includes at least the temperature of one or more electric vehicle batteries or information required to determine the temperature of the one or more electric vehicle batteries while the anticipated energy needs are relative to ambient air temperature. The method includes determining an amount of discharge of the one or more electric vehicle batteries required to offset the anticipated needs of the building by a predetermined amount and determining based on the temperature data whether discharging the one or more electric vehicle batteries would be harmful to the health of the one or more electric vehicle batteries. The method includes discharging the one or more electric vehicle batteries to offset the anticipated needs of the building.

    摘要: A battery management system that uses a multiple particle reduced order model to manage battery performance of a vehicle, such as an electric vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle is provided. The system can receive a value of a current output and determine, via a multi-particle model, a local current distribution that converges. The system can determine, via the multi-particle model and subsequent to determination of the local current distribution that converges, a concentration distribution. The system can determine, based on the local current distribution, a value of a voltage of the battery. The system can determine, based on the value of the voltage of the battery and the concentration distribution, a temperature of the battery. The system can generate, based on the value of the voltage of the battery or the temperature of the battery, a command to manage a performance of the battery.

    摘要: A converter is to convert at least one of a first voltage output from a first energy storage device and a second voltage output from a second energy storage device. A detector is to detect the first voltage and a current flowing between the first energy storage device and the second energy storage device. Circuitry is configured to control the converter to perform a first constant current control in which a first constant current flows from one of the first energy storage device and the second energy storage device to another of the first energy storage device and the second energy storage device. The circuitry is configured to determine a state of the first energy storage device based on the first voltage and the first constant current while the first constant current control is performed.

    摘要: A battery pack includes a plurality of rechargeable batteries, a sensor, and a battery manager. The sensor obtains motion information of the rechargeable batteries. The motion information includes at least one of first information obtained by sensing whether the rechargeable batteries are in a movement state or in a standstill state or second information on a state in which the rechargeable batteries are inclined. The second information may be obtained based on a change in angle when the rechargeable batteries are in the movement state. The battery manager control charging or discharging of the rechargeable batteries in a charge mode or a discharge mode based on the motion information.
