    Abstract: A system for optimizing life of a battery pack in a plug-in vehicle includes sensors for measuring battery performance data, including an open-circuit voltage, charging current, and/or temperature of the battery pack, a GPS receiver, a user interface, and a controller. The controller executes a method to monitor degradation of the battery pack using the performance data, and determines driving and charging histories for an operator of the vehicle using the measured battery performance data and a position signal from the GPS receiver. The histories identify the days, hours, and locations at which the operator has driven the vehicle and charged the battery pack. The controller identifies a state of charge data bin missing performance data or containing old performance data. The controller then controls a charging operation of the battery pack via a charging control signal, and records the measured battery performance data for the identified SOC data bin.

    Abstract: A number of variations include a method, which may include using at least a segment of voltage-based Battery State Estimation data, and using real-time linear regression, which may be a method of estimating future behavior of a system based on current and previous data points, to provide a robust and fast-adapting impedance response approximator. Linear regression may be performed by forming an RC circuit which is “equivalent” to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data and processing the runtime values of that RC circuit using any number of known real-time linear regression algorithms including, but not limited, to a weighted recursive least squares (WRLS), Kalman filter or other means.

    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for modeling changes in capacity and the state of charge vs. open circuit voltage (SOC-OCV) curve for a battery cell as it ages. During battery pack charging, voltage and current data are gathered for a battery cell. In one method, using multiple data points taken during the plug-in charge event, data optimization is used to determine values for two parameters which define a scaling and a shifting of the SOC-OCV curve from its original shape at the cell's beginning of life to its shape in the cell's current condition. In a second method, only initial and final voltages and current throughput data are needed to determine the values of the two parameters. With the scaling and shifting parameters calculated, the cell's updated capacity and updated SOC-OCV curve can be determined. The methods can also be applied to data taken during a discharge event.
