Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If data-driven methods like Incremental Capacity_analysis are used to estimate battery State of Health, then the estimation can be performed without establishing complex battery models, but the accuracy of estimation deteriorates when temperature varies because temperature directly affects battery chemical reactions and shifts the Incremental Capacity curve

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of implementationVSAvoidestimation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing temperature as a correction parameter to adjust the Incremental Capacity curve. By establishing the relationship between temperature and curve shifting, the method dynamically adjusts estimation parameters based on actual temperature conditions, thereby maintaining high estimation accuracy across varying temperatures without requiring complex models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses temperature-compensated reference curves as an intermediary between the raw Incremental Capacity data and the State of Health estimation. These reference curves, adjusted for temperature effects, serve as a mediator that eliminates the direct negative impact of temperature variations on estimation accuracy while preserving the simplicity of data-driven approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If general data-driven methods are used for State of Health estimation, then model establishment is avoided, but overfitting occurs and extensive data pre-processing time is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel complexityVSAvoiddata pre-processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the essential temperature-dependent characteristics from extensive battery data to create compact temperature-compensated reference curves. By extracting only the critical temperature-curve relationship, the method avoids overfitting while minimizing data pre-processing requirements, as the reference curves can be pre-established and directly applied during estimation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Ease of operation

If Incremental Capacity_analysis is performed at standard temperature only, then the method is simple to implement, but the estimation accuracy deteriorates in wide temperature ranges because the Incremental Capacity curve shifts at different temperatures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemethod simplicityVSAvoidtemperature range adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates temperature-compensated reference curves that serve multiple temperature conditions simultaneously. By establishing a universal framework where reference curves can be adjusted for different temperatures through a systematic correction approach, the method maintains simplicity while achieving wide temperature range adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A battery State of Health estimation method based on a standard sample and a dual-embedded decoupling includes the steps of extracting significant characteristic peaks of the standard sample, mechanism parameter calibration of the standard sample, and on-line State of Health estimation of the test battery. The battery State of Health estimation method expounds the dual coupling relationship between temperature and aging on the characteristic peak voltage of Incremental Capacity curve from the perspective of impedance characteristic mechanism analysis, and proposes a method eliminating the voltage deviation caused by the most temperature-sensitive charge transfer resistance based on the “standard sample” to realize the decoupling of the first layer. Further, when the Solid Electrolyte Interface film resistance affected by the aging and temperature coupling conforms to a linear relationship as a whole, the embedded decoupling can be realized by establishing the relation function between the linear relationship coefficient and temperature.
