Abstract:
System and methods for estimating a life of a battery pack are presented. In certain embodiments, a method for estimating a life of a battery pack may include generating cell-level test data that includes measured parameters a of battery cell included in the battery pack in response to a plurality of test conditions. One or more first thermal response parameters associated with the battery cells of the battery pack may be determined. A battery cell aging model may be generated based, at least in part, on the cell-level test data and the one or more first thermal response parameters. Second thermal response parameters associated with the battery pack may be determined, and an estimated life of the battery pack may be determined based, at least in part, on the battery cell aging model and the second thermal response parameters.
Abstract:
System and methods for determining performance degradation of a battery system are presented. In certain embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods may involve testing, monitoring, and/or modeling of battery system cyclic performance degradation at a single battery system operating temperature. The disclosed systems and methods may offer certain efficiencies over conventional techniques for determining cyclic degradation of a battery system. Such efficiencies may allow the disclosed systems and methods to be implemented in connection with real-time battery state estimation methods.
