Abstract:
A battery management system includes a usage history acquisition unit, a deterioration estimation unit, a battery load acquisition unit, a deterioration change degree identification unit, and a battery management unit. The usage history acquisition unit acquires usage history information. The deterioration estimation unit estimates a current deterioration state and a deterioration factor of the secondary battery based on the usage history information. The battery load acquisition unit acquires battery load information indicating a future battery load. The deterioration change degree identification unit identifies a deterioration change degree by using the current deterioration state, the deterioration factor and the battery load information of the secondary battery. The battery management unit uses the deterioration change degree to associate secondary batteries with future use modes so that an evaluation value indicating a degree of deterioration of the secondary battery in use devices becomes a minimum value.

The information calculation system calculates future second degradation states of the plurality of battery constituent elements of the secondary battery when the secondary battery is used in the future application, based on the first degradation states related to the battery constituent elements calculated, the estimated load information acquired, and the plurality of degradation factors related to the battery constituent elements.
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 battery diagnostic system includes an interpolation processing unit, a degradation estimation unit, a degradation prediction unit, and an output unit. When a part of the battery load history is missing, the interpolation processing unit interpolates the missing part using the rest of the constituent data. The degradation estimation unit estimates, based on the battery load history, a present degradation state of the secondary battery and a cause of degradation that has brought about the degradation state. The degradation prediction unit predicts, using a predicted battery load, the present degradation state and the cause of degradation of the secondary battery, a predicted degradation state of the secondary battery that will occur in the future upon having been used in the use mode. The output unit outputs the predicted degradation state of the secondary battery.

A battery structure includes a plurality of batteries each made of lithium-ion secondary battery; and a plurality of arrangement portions in which the plurality of batteries are arranged. The plurality of arrangement portions are divided into two groups of: a upper heat transfer group having heat transfer orders higher than a center value of the heat transfer orders, where the heat transfer orders are respective amount of heat transfer from the batteries being ranked in descending order; and a lower heat transfer group having the heat m transfer orders lower than the center value. A battery among the plurality of batteries showing the highest value of a lithium deposition tolerance which represents a degree of lithium being unlikely to deposit during charge/discharge operation, is disposed in a high tolerance arrangement portion in the plurality of arrangement portions, the high tolerance arrangement portion belonging to the upper heat transfer group.
