1Measurement precision

If electrochemical principle prediction is used, then battery life prediction can be achieved, but computational complexity increases and prediction error becomes large

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the battery life decay process into multiple distinct decay types (e.g., linear decay, exponential decay, logarithmic decay). Each decay type is modeled separately with its own curve segment, allowing the complex overall decay process to be broken down into simpler, more manageable components that can be processed independently and then combined.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter representation by using different mathematical functions (linear, exponential, logarithmic) to describe different phases of battery decay. Instead of using a single complex electrochemical model, the system switches between multiple simpler parametric models, each suited for specific decay phases, thereby reducing computational complexity while maintaining accuracy.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the battery decay process into multiple decay types, each represented by a separate curve segment. This segmentation allows the system to capture different decay patterns (linear, exponential, logarithmic) that occur at different stages of battery life, improving prediction accuracy while maintaining computational efficiency through the use of simple parametric models for each segment.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic switching between different decay models based on the battery's current state. The system dynamically selects and transitions between linear, exponential, and logarithmic decay models as the battery progresses through different life stages, allowing the prediction model to adapt to changing decay patterns without requiring complex global optimization algorithms.
