AI Technical Summary
In the current cascade utilization of lithium-ion batteries, the fixed series-parallel structure cannot effectively solve the bottleneck effect caused by the difference in the degradation of individual cells, which affects the system life, safety and economy. Existing optimization methods have failed to take into account the future degradation trend of cells.
By collecting multidimensional health characteristic parameters of lithium-ion battery packs, calculating dynamic consistency weight coefficients, using unsupervised clustering algorithms to divide cell clusters, forming a dynamic topology, and realizing battery series and parallel connection through power electronic converters, the system capacity and topology connection are iteratively optimized by combining Gaussian process regression models to predict lifetime.
It effectively solves the bottleneck effect of cascaded utilization of lithium-ion battery packs, improves the overall available capacity and cycle life of the system, ensures long-term stable operation of the system, reduces the cost of energy storage systems, and promotes the large-scale application of retired lithium-ion batteries.
