Dormant Capacity Reserve in Lithium-Ion Batteries DetectedTBMG-5214312/01/2024
Lithium iron phosphate is one of the most important materials for batteries in electric cars, stationary energy storage systems, and tools. It has a long service life, is comparatively inexpensive and does not tend to spontaneously combust. Energy density is also making progress. However, experts are still puzzled as to why lithium iron phosphate batteries undercut their theoretical electricity storage capacity by up to 25 percent in practice. To utilize this dormant capacity reserve, it would be crucial to know exactly where and how lithium ions are stored in and released from the battery material during the charging and discharging cycles. Researchers at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) have now taken a significant step in this direction. Using transmission electron microscopes, they were able to systematically track the lithium ions as they traveled through the battery material, map their arrangement in the crystal lattice of an iron phosphate cathode with unprecedented

Simulation Based Validation of Battery Structural Integrity for Mechanical Abuse as per AIS 1562024-26-024201/16/2024
Battery is one of the safety critical systems in EV. As the number of EVs increases, battery safety becomes an important task to avoid any mishap during its use, as even small accidents may slow down the adaptation of EVs. Automotive environment being one of the harshest operating environments, it is important to ensure both mechanical and electrical safety of the battery pack. Li-Ion batteries are most popular among traction batteries, due to their high energy density, long life, and fast charging capabilities. But mechanical damage, overtemperature, short-circuit, etc. may lead to battery thermal runaway, causing a major accident. Mechanical abuse of battery can be one of the reasons that may lead to the damages mentioned above, eventually causing thermal runaway in batteries. That’s why all major battery safety standards have requirements for vibration and mechanical shock tests.

A Multistage adaptive charging algorithm for Li-Ion battery-based EV Applications2024-26-010301/16/2024
With the increase of electric vehicles and lack of standardization in charging infrastructure, the variance in the charger cable length, battery health, and battery capacity can result in unevenness in the charging of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which increases the charging time and can deteriorate the battery’s health. Enabling adaptive charging of LIBs can accelerate the commercial application of electric vehicles (EVs). Charging of LIBs is critical and can be optimized to curtail the effective charging time. In this paper, a multistage adaptive charging strategy is presented for LIB-based EV applications to boost the SOC of the battery system in the shortest time. In the proposed charging strategy, initially, multiple pre-charge CC stages are employed to bring the battery out of the deep discharge state and to simultaneously calculate the resistances of the harness (line resistance), and the battery. These resistance values are then used to estimate the charging currents as the

Effect of Busbar Design on the Thermal Performance of Battery Packs2024-26-013501/16/2024
Li-ion batteries face challenges which is not usually present with other chemistries is cell balancing. If a high imbalance occurs within a parallel circuit, possibly because of the poor cell -grading or due to temperature localization, the other cells will charge the unbalanced cell and it may be possible that the imbalance never completely fades away and the other cells also end up unbalanced, One of the key solutions to maintaining cell balance is to ensure that all cells within a battery pack are kept at a uniform temperature. This requires careful thermal management, which can be achieved through a combination of conduction and convection circuits. In this paper, a 1D-3D simulation study has been performed on a 12 V 4s4p pack by varying the thickness of HV busbars and temperature localization effects and temperature uniformity has been observed. The holder has 16 cells with a 4*4 grid pattern, each cell has a diameter of 18 mm and a length of 65mm. The cells are connected in

Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in EV’s. It is desired to predict the SOH of batteries to achieve optimal operation and health management. The most significant obstacle to accurately predicting battery health is choosing battery features. In this study, numerous data analysis strategies are introduced to manage feature irrelevancy and help in determining which features can be selected and used in real time. The first step in manually crafting features is to analyses the evolution pattern of numerous essential characteristics of battery. Second, correlation between selected features and degraded capacity analyses. Then, selected features are fed into representative machine learning regression model to effectively predict remaining capacity of battery to find the SOH status. Finally, the remaining capacity of battery is selected as feature to predict the RUL in terms of remaining charge-discharge cycles.

Knee-Point Identification of Battery Degradation Trajectory Based on Constant Voltage Charging Capacity Variation2023-01-703310/30/2023
The turning point in the process of nonlinear aging is a key feature to identify the nonlinear aging behavior of lithium-ion batteries. In order to identify the knee-point online, this paper studies the capacity “diving” phenomenon of the battery during the experiment and the regulation of the appearance of the turning point during the nonlinear aging process. Then, a knee-point identification method based on constant voltage charging capacity is proposed, and the linear and nonlinear stages of battery decay are redefined. Based on the change of constant voltage charging capacity in the constant current and constant voltage charging strategy, the method defines the aging process in which the constant voltage charging capacity remains invariant as the linear decay stage of the battery, and the aging process in which the constant voltage charging capacity rises rapidly as the nonlinear decay stage. The intersection of linear and nonlinear decay is the knee-point of the battery’s aging

Simulation Study on High Expansion Ratio Dedicated Hybrid Engine for Hybrid Commercial Vehicle Application2023-01-700510/30/2023
The fuel economy and emission of the hybrid vehicle depend largely on the selected engine. And the dedicated hybrid engine (DHE) can be controlled to operate in the optimal operating range because DHE can be decoupled from the vehicle transmission system. The main purpose of this paper is to improve the thermal efficiency of the diesel engine under common operating conditions combined with high compression ratio (CR) and early or late intake valve closing (IVC) angle. According to the vehicle road spectrum data, the optimal operating range of the engine is determined to be 1200-1400 rpm and 70%-90% load. Then CR and IVC angle are optimized by using the calibrated one-dimensional thermodynamic model of the engine under limited peak combustion pressure (Pmax). The results show that the adjustment of IVC angle and CR can control the thermal state at the end of compression stroke. The combination of CR and IVC angle can achieve the optimal fuel consumption improvement. The minimum brake

Numerical Modeling of Electro-Thermal Behavior of a Typical Lithium-Ion Cell and Pack Level Using NewmanP2D Approach2022-28-040911/09/2022
Numerical simulation of lithium-ion batteries (LIB) has become extremely vital in the understanding of thermal behavior of LIBs in order to develop active and passive battery thermal management systems. The LIB is popular in consumer electronics. Beyond consumer electronics, the LIB is also growing in popularity for the automotive applications such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) due to its high energy density, high voltage, and low self-discharge rate. High amount of heat generally gets developed during charge and discharge of LIB based on the C-rate at which it is being discharged or charged. Hence, there should be a mechanism to understand the thermal behavior of these cells. Thus, in this paper a numerical procedure has been developed to model electrochemical-thermal behaviour of commercially available 21700 Li-ion cells. NewmanP2D approach is used to arrive at electrochemistry performance of Li-ion cell and pack. Well known commercial code

Utilizing Machine Learning Algorithms in a Data-Driven Approach to the Prediction of Vehicle Battery State of Charge with BMW i3 Datasets2022-01-508810/17/2022
The state of charge (SoC) in an electric vehicle must be assessed and projected for any scenario, using the array of data points that can be extracted from a vehicle. In this paper, we explored the utility of data-driven approaches to SoC prediction that do not rely upon any internal or equation-based understanding of the device operation. We leveraged three unique machine learning algorithms to predict the battery SoC using data from other features of electric vehicles. We leveraged a publicly available dataset describing vehicle parameters and trip details for 70 trips in EV BMW™ i3 (60 ah) vehicles and evaluated aforementioned machine learning algorithms for predicting SoC percentage. We utilized a data processing technique (delta and stagger) to extract different perspectives from each trip record and demonstrated that machine learning techniques can be effectively used to predict battery SoC for a wide range of driving conditions and trip parameters.

Theoretical Analysis of the Thermal Resistance Network for Battery Thermal Management2022-01-508710/12/2022
Battery thermal management for electric vehicles have gained significance over recent years, especially for the present lithium-ion batteries. However, high operating temperature and uneven temperature distribution inside the battery cell can significantly reduce capacity and lifetime. The temperature difference between the battery cells needs to be minimized to avoid premature aging of specific cells exposed to a higher temperature. The most common way to dissipate heat from the battery cells is to use air or liquid cooling. Air cooling is less complex than liquid cooling, but the extremely high ambient temperature dramatically limits the usage of air cooling. This paper developed a thermal connector that could be repeatedly assembled and disassembled between the battery cell. The thermal connector can effectively dissipate the heat into the refrigeration cycle while providing constant thermal resistance among the battery cells, which can be as lower as 0.115°C/W.

Fast Charging at Cold Conditions—Model-Based Control Enabled by Multi-Scale Multi-Domain Plant Model2022-01-085703/29/2022
Battery electric vehicles (BEV) are a promising technology to provide CO2-free mobility. The enabler for BEVs is a battery that provides maximum driving ranges, short charging times and a long lifetime. Lithium ion batteries (LIB) are an established technology used most likely in many future BEV applications. LIB typically use anodes materials with high share of graphite where inappropriate charging procedures will compromise their lifetime. Under certain conditions, lithium ions deposit as metallic lithium, react with the electrolyte and cause a loss of capacity. The challenge is to derive charging strategies along the physical limits, fast and not yet damaging. This requires a thorough understanding of the electrochemical cause-effect relationships in the battery in interaction with the thermoregulation management at a given charging strategy.

Large Format Battery Standardization for U.S. ARMY Ground Vehicles2022-01-042003/29/2022
This work will present the development of a Modular High Voltage Standardization suitable for U.S. ARMY Ground Vehicles. The standardization is in support of the Army’s Modernization Strategy focus on Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV). GVSC with OSD partners (OECIF, NAVY) is leading the development of this High-Voltage (HV) Specification for Energy Storage Modules (ESMs), i.e. Li-ion batteries. Based on the operational requirements for ARMY platforms to operate in austere environments with no fixed charging infrastructure, it is anticipated that Hybrid Electric Vehicles would be the initial users of an ESM. Greater penetration of safe, low cost ESM in support of electrification will result in improved platform survivability, maneuverability and capability. It is anticipated that an HV ESM specification for an adaptable, scalable energy storage based on commercial practices, will benefit multiple DOD platforms resulting in an acquisition life cycle cost reduction and a reduced

Investigation on the impact of high-temperature calendar and cyclic ageing on battery overcharge performance2022-01-087203/29/2022
With the degradation of lithium-ion batteries, the battery safety performance changes, which further influences the safe working window. In this paper, pouch ternary lithium-ion battery with a rated capacity of 4.2 Ah is used as the research object to investigate the impact of high-temperature calendar and cyclic aging on the tolerance performance. The overcharge-to-thermal-runaway test is performed on the fresh cell and aged cell (90% SOH). the inflection point of voltage for aged cell appears earlier than that of fresh cell, while the voltage corresponding to the inflection point is the same for them, which means that the voltage at which lithium plating occurs is the same. However, the voltage plateau and the crest voltage before thermal runaway of aged cell is significantly higher than that of fresh cell. Besides, for the thermal runaway triggering, ohmic heat, reversible heat, and side reaction heat all make contribution, among them, the side reaction heat plays a dominant role

Remaining useful life prediction of lithium-ion battery based on data-driven and multi-model fusion2022-01-086903/29/2022
With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the echelon utilization of retired power battery has become an important factor to promote the healthy development of this industry, while the remaining useful life (RUL), as the key reference factor for the echelon utilization of retired power battery , has attracted the attention and research of many scholars in recent years. At present, most prediction methods are based on off-line data, which can not process real-time data in time, so it is difficult to realize online prediction of RUL. In order to realize the real-time online monitoring and high-precision calculation of lithium-ion battery RUL, this paper proposes a lithium-ion battery RUL prediction method based on data-driven and multi-model fusion. Fast feature online extraction of one-dimensional battery capacity time series data via convolutional neural network(CNN), mining potential hidden information. Then the size of the amount of information retained in before and after

Methods for State of Health Estimation and Remaining Useful Life Prognostics for EV Lithium-ion Batteries: A Review2022-01-085003/29/2022
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) power majority of battery electric vehicles due to their relatively better performance and reliability. LIBs offer high energy density, cycle life, power capability when used in their operating zones. However, LIBs experience ageing and performance degradation due to operating conditions and internal factors which if not characterised lead to unexpected battery failures combined with safety hazards. State of health (SOH) metric provides an effective measure on the battery health and be used to calculate the Remaining useful life (RuL) of the battery. Accurate SOH prediction in Electric vehicles is key to improve pack performance, enable preventive maintenance to reduce unexpected failures, enhance battery life and safety. EV battery packs are equipped with Battery Management Systems (BMS). State of art BMSs are equipped with advanced algorithms for state estimation and are IOT enabled to save field performance data over cloud. Currently, algorithms which

Comparative thermal runaway behavior analysis of high-nickel lithium-ion batteries with different specifications2022-01-086203/29/2022
High-nickel lithium-ion batteries extend the driving mileage of electric vehicles (EVs) to 600km without much cost increment. However, thermal accidents commonly occur due to their poor thermal stability, such as thermal runaway. To address the issue, a comprehensive analysis of the thermal runaway behavior of high-nickel lithium-ion batteries with different specifications is conducted. The thermal runaway process is divided into five stages based on self-heating generation, voltage drop, safety valve rupture, and thermal runaway triggering for the three tested cells. The three tested cells demonstrate similar behaviors during each stage of the thermal runaway process. However, there are still apparent differences between their characteristics. Four aspects of characteristic temperature, the relationship between sudden voltage drop and characteristic temperatures, temperature recovery, and thermodynamics, are discussed. Although Cell 01 has the highest T1, its T2 is the lowest. In

Innovative vehicle battery pack design approach through multiphysics cells simulation2022-01-030303/29/2022
This paper presents the design procedure of a vehicle battery pack, in terms of electrical and mechanical requirements with an innovative methodology to model Li-ion cells’ thermo-electro-mechanical behaviour. This modelling approach can predict, through FEM analysis, if short circuit happen with consequent generation of fire in case of vehicle crash. This last aspect has several issues related to the multiphysics characteristics of the phenomena due to the fact that battery cells are made up by really thin components and, as consequence, not significant works of an entire deformable battery pack simulation have been found in literature. For this reason, the design approach studied overcomes the classical methodology in which cells’ mechanical behaviour is considered unknown to understand if cell failure appears avoiding over-engineered battery pack structure. At the beginning, a benchmarking activity on existing FEM modelling methodologies of single cells has been conducted

Comparison of Representative Wet and Dry Fire Suppressants to Retard Fire Propagation in Lithium-Ion Modules initiated by Overcharge Abuse2022-01-086003/29/2022
The batteries tested during this work were common batteries used in existing automotive applications, and they included a nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery from a Chevrolet Bolt, a lithium manganese oxide (LMO) battery from a Chevrolet Volt, and a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery in a hybrid transit bus. The battery abuse and emissions tests were designed to intentionally drive the three different battery chemistries into thermal runaway while measuring battery temperatures, battery voltages, gaseous emissions, and feedback from volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors. Overcharge tests simulated a failure in the devices responsible for ensuring the battery remained within safe operating limits during charging. Overcharging a battery can cause lithium plating and other exothermic reactions that will lead to thermal runaway. During the testing, VOC sensors were used to determine what, if any, amount of forewarning they may provide in the event the battery enters thermal runaway

Proposed Standards And Methods For Leak Testing Lithium-Ion Battery Packs Using Glycol-based Coolant With Empirically Derived Rejection Limits2022-01-084803/29/2022
Lithium-ion batteries are a highly suitable energy source for many applications, particularly in the automotive sector due to their high energy density and low self-discharge rate. During the production of battery cells, rapid detection of leaks is essential to achieve necessary lifetime service-life and safety requirements. Once assembled into packs, whether made of prismatic, cylindrical or pouch cells, packs must be cooled by common automotive thermal management systems, for example those employing engine coolant and radiator, and in which manufacturers must prevent various leak-producing defects that affect durability, longevity and safety Two types of cooling systems are used in automobiles, an active variant in which refrigerant, compressor, evaporator and heat exchanger are used to operate the air conditioning system, or a passive variant with a cooling medium, typically a water/glycol mixture, and a heat exchanger cooled by ambient air. While good industry standards are

Multi-objective Bayesian Optimization of Lithium-ion Battery Cells2022-01-085803/29/2022
In the last years, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become the most important energy storage system for consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and smart grids. A LIB is composed of several unit cells. Therefore, one of the most important factors that determine the performance of a LIB is the design of the unit cell. The design of LIB cells is a challenging problem since it involves the evaluation of expensive black-box functions. These functions lack a closed-form expression, and therefore, they require long-running time simulations or physical experiments for their evaluation. Recently, Bayesian optimization has emerged as a powerful gradient-free optimization methodology to solve black-box function optimization problems. Bayesian optimization has two main components: a probabilistic surrogate model of the black-box function and an acquisition function that guides the optimization. This study employs Bayesian optimization in the design of cylindrical cells type 18650. The materials

Physics-based Equivalent Circuit Model for Lithium-Ion Cells via Reduction and Approximation of Electrochemical Model 2022-01-085603/29/2022
Physics-based electrochemical models and empirical Equivalent Circuit Models (ECMs) are well-established and widely used modeling techniques to predict the voltage behavior of lithium-ion cells. Electrochemical models are typically very accurate and require relatively little experimental data to calibrate, but present high mathematical and computational complexity. Conversely, ECMs are more computationally efficient and mathematically simpler, making them well-suited for applications in controls, diagnosis, and state estimation of lithium-ion battery packs. However, the calibration process requires extensive testing to calibrate the parameters of the model over a wide range of operating conditions. This paper bridges the gap between these two classes of models by developing a method to analytically define the ECM parameters starting from an already-calibrated Extended Single-Particle Model (ESPM). The governing equations of the ESPM were reduced via model order reduction, linearization

Eliminating the 12V battery with use of Sine Amplitude Converter modules to create 12V power from the high voltage vehicle battery2022-01-082303/29/2022
The 12V lead-acid car battery is dead. Europe has decreed that no new cars will have lead-acid batteries after 2030, creating a considerable challenge for OEMs to find alternative solutions. Power modules leveraging Sine Amplitude Converter (SAC™) topology enable replacement of the 12V battery by directly converting power from the high voltage (400V or 800V) main vehicle battery. The primary battery (800v/400v) can directly power 12V loads only with high density DC-DC converter with a transient response that meets or exceeds the performance of a 12V battery. Power modules leveraging proprietary SAC topology far exceeds the slew rate—the transient response—of 12V lead-acid batteries in a much smaller and lighter system. A modular approach leveraging SAC can process millions of amperes per second from the high voltage battery to the load eliminating any dips or loads falling out of regulation. Bench testing shows that modular power can deliver a response three times faster than a typical

Estimation of Surface Temperature Distributions Across an Array of Lithium-Ion Battery Cells Using a Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network2022-01-084503/29/2022
As electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular and necessary for the future mobility needs of civilization, further effort is continually made to improve the efficiency, cost, and safety of the lithium-ion battery packs that power these vehicles. To facilitate these goals, this paper introduces one possible type of model to predict a distribution of surface temperatures for a lithium-ion battery pack: a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network. The LSTM model is trained and validated with lithium-ion cells electrically connected to form a battery pack. Voltage, current, state of charge (SOC), and cell surface temperature from one array are used as inputs from a wide range of high and low temperature drive cycles. Additionally, a second model is considered where ambient temperature is added as an input to the LSTM model and the resulting predictions are compared to the original model. In summary the LSTM model can accurately characterize and predict a distribution of lithium

A comparative study between physics-based, electrical, and data-driven lithium-ion battery voltage modelling approaches2022-01-085503/29/2022
This paper benchmarks three different lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery voltage modelling approaches, a physics-based using Extended Single Particle Model (ESPM), an equivalent circuit model, and a recurrent neural network. The ESPM is the selected physics-based approach because it has the advantage of having similar complexity and computational load to the other two benchmarked models. In the ESPM, the anode and cathode are simplified to single particles, and the partial differential equations are simplified to ordinary differential equations. Hence, the required state variables are reduced, and the simulation speed is improved. The second approach is a third-order equivalent circuit model (ECM), and the third approach uses a model based on a Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network (LSTM). A Li-ion pouch cell with 47 Ah nominal capacity is used to parameterize all the models. The models are tested and compared using four standard drive cycles at six ambient temperatures ranging

Identifying key aspects of thermal runaway modelling for lithium-ion battery cells2022-01-087003/29/2022
Electrification and hybridization of powerplants in the transportation sector is one of the most important changes in the last few decades. Lithium-ion batteries are the main energy storage systems, but despite the maturity of this technology, it has certain contains compared to traditional internal combustion engines in the day-to-day usage. As the operating conditions of the batteries are pushed to the limits to overcome certain disadvantages relative to other conventional systems like charge and discharge times or vehicle autonomy, new concerns and safety limitations must be considered. High power rates and cooling deficiencies can produce excessive operating temperatures within the cells, leading to problems with degradation or even unchain chemical reactions that can end in thermal runaway, one of the most worrying failure modes attaining electric platforms nowadays. One of the main challenges in the ordeal of designing the system considering these effects is the crossed
