    Abstract: In a control device for a secondary battery, the secondary battery includes a monitoring sensor that detects battery information. An electronic control unit is configured to store first information. The electronic control unit is configured to set a lower-limit state of charge. The electronic control unit is configured to calculate a value of a rate of decrease of a full charging capacity using a value of the full charging capacity and to calculate a value of a state-of-charge variation using the value of the rate of decrease of the full charging capacity and the first information. The electronic control unit is configured to increase the lower-limit state of charge when the value of the state-of-charge variation is greater than a threshold value and to maintain the lower-limit state of charge when the value of the state-of-charge variation is less than the threshold value.

    Abstract: A secondary battery system includes a control device that estimates a reaction resistance based on the difference between a first impedance and a second impedance. Each of the first and second impedance is calculated based on first, second, and third change amount when the current value of the secondary battery is varied with corresponding period. The first change amount is a change amount of a detection value of a voltage sensor in a period in which the phase of the current value is inverted from an initial phase to an opposite phase, the second change amount is a change amount of the detection value of the voltage sensor in a period in which the phase of the current value is returned from the opposite phase to the initial phase, and the third change amount is a difference of the current value between the initial phase and the opposite phase.

    Abstract: In the event of an abnormality occurring in a temperature sensor that is used to detect the temperature of a battery, an electrically driven vehicle sets a drivable time by using a reference temperature of the battery and gives permission for emergency drive until a driving time of the electrically driven vehicle reaches the drivable time. When the reference temperature is used for the first time since the occurrence of the abnormality in the temperature sensor, a temperature detected before the occurrence of the abnormality in the temperature sensor is used as the reference temperature. When the reference temperature is used for the second or subsequent time since the occurrence of the abnormality in the temperature sensor, a temperature obtained by applying a resistance value based on an inter-terminal voltage of the battery and an electric current flowing in the battery, to a correlation between battery resistance and battery temperature is used as the reference temperature.

    Abstract: A battery system according includes a secondary battery, a temperature sensor and a controller. The secondary battery includes a power generation element configured to perform charging and discharging, an electrolyte, and a battery case. The electrolyte is impregnated inside the power generation element. The power generation element and the electrolyte is housed in the battery case. The temperature sensor is configured to specify a temperature of the secondary battery. The controller is configured to calculate a deviation in salt concentration in the electrolyte. The controller is configured to calculate a first flow velocity and a second flow velocity at each position in the power generation element in the flow direction of the electrolyte using an equation defining a flow of the electrolyte. The first flow velocity is a flow velocity when the electrolyte flows from an inside of the power generation element toward an outside of the power generation element. The second flow velocity is a flow velocity when the electrolyte flows from the outside of the power generation element toward the inside of the power generation element. The equation includes, as a parameter, a density of the electrolyte. The density is specified from the temperature. The density changes according to the temperature of the secondary battery. The controller is configured to calculate a salt concentration distribution in the power generation element based on the first flow velocity and the second flow velocity.

    Abstract: A battery system includes a chargeable and dischargeable secondary battery and a controller that estimates the deterioration state or the charge state of the secondary battery. When estimating the deterioration state or the charge state, the controller uses an average ion concentration between a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The average ion concentration varies depending on an electric current flowing through the secondary battery. The average ion concentration between the electrodes can be calculated with a computing expression that includes a surface pressure of the secondary battery as a variable. The surface pressure of the secondary battery can be detected by a pressure sensor. The surface pressure of the secondary battery can also be estimated from an electric current flowing through the secondary battery.
