Battery Degradation Evaluation via Temperature-Corrected State Quantities
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery degradation evaluation methods fail to accurately assess battery health due to the influence of temperature and current variations, leading to decreased evaluation accuracy when unmodified state quantities are used.
Innovation Solution
A battery degradation evaluation system that acquires state quantities such as voltage, resistance, and temperature, corrects these quantities based on their correlation with temperature, and uses machine learning and AI to evaluate battery degradation, ensuring accurate assessment by accounting for usage time and magnitude of state changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If unmodified state quantities are used to evaluate battery degradation, then the evaluation process is simple, but the evaluation accuracy declines due to temperature and current variations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms raw state quantities into corrected evaluation indices by applying temperature correction coefficients and usage time corrections. This parameter transformation approach converts temperature-dependent voltage and resistance values into standardized degradation indicators that can be accurately compared across different operating conditions, resolving the contradiction between simple evaluation processes and accurate degradation assessment.
2Measurement precision
If state quantities are corrected based on temperature correlation, then the evaluation accuracy improves, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-calculates and stores temperature correction coefficients in a lookup table before actual degradation evaluation. During operation, the system simply retrieves the appropriate correction coefficient based on measured temperature and applies it to the state quantities, rather than performing complex real-time calculations. This preliminary preparation approach maintains high evaluation accuracy while minimizing processing complexity during actual use.
3Measurement precision
If correction is applied to all state quantities, then the evaluation becomes more accurate, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies correction selectively only to state quantities that exhibit correlation with temperature variations. The system evaluates each state quantity individually, applying correction coefficients only where needed based on correlation analysis, rather than uniformly correcting all measurements. This localized correction approach maintains accuracy for temperature-sensitive parameters while avoiding unnecessary processing time for temperature-independent parameters.

AI summary
A battery degradation evaluation system (10) comprises an acquisition section (22, 30), a correction section (32), and an evaluation section (40). The acquisition section (22, 30) acquires a state quantity of a battery (20). The correction section (32), in a case in which the state quantity acquired by the acquisition section (22, 30) correlates with a physical quantity relating to a temperature of the battery (20), corrects the state quantity. The evaluation section (40) evaluates degradation of the battery (20) based on the state quantity corrected by the correction section (32).
