Solution Overview

Problem

Existing battery management systems fail to effectively update parameter maps based on specific parameter values determined by parameter determination logic, leading to inefficiencies in battery management and potential deviations from actual battery characteristics due to battery deterioration.

Innovation Solution

A battery management system and method that updates a parameter map by determining the latest values of specific parameters, using these values to update target and expansion map values within the parameter map, thereby reflecting changes in battery characteristics over time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a parameter map is used to determine battery parameters, then the battery management system can operate efficiently with pre-stored data, but the parameter map becomes inaccurate over time due to battery deterioration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery management efficiencyVSAvoidparameter map accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the determined third parameter value is fed back to update the parameter map. The controller compares the determined third parameter with the map value from the parameter map, calculates a correction value, and updates the parameter map to reflect actual battery characteristics, thereby resolving the accuracy degradation issue while maintaining operational efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically changes the parameter map based on battery state. Instead of using a static parameter map, the system updates the parameter map values according to the determined battery parameters and correction values, allowing the parameter map to adapt to battery deterioration and maintain accuracy throughout the battery lifecycle

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If the parameter map is updated frequently to maintain accuracy, then the parameter map reflects current battery characteristics, but the computational load and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter map accuracyVSAvoidmap update complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by updating only the specific third parameter values in the parameter map that correspond to the current battery state, rather than updating the entire parameter map. This targeted approach maintains accuracy where needed while minimizing unnecessary computational operations and system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs partial action by updating only the necessary parameter map entries based on the current operating conditions and determined parameters. The correction is applied selectively to maintain accuracy without performing exhaustive updates across all parameter map entries, thereby reducing computational overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
