Solution Overview

Problem

Existing battery management systems fail to effectively monitor and adapt charging/discharging control logic based on the degradation state of electric vehicle batteries, leading to uneven performance degradation and reduced service life.

Innovation Solution

A battery performance management system that collects and analyzes battery performance evaluation information from multiple charging stations using an artificial intelligence model to determine State Of Health (SOH) and update control factors for charging/discharging, utilizing a centralized database to optimize battery operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of stationary object

If battery charging/discharging control logic is not updated based on degradation state, then system complexity is reduced, but battery service life is shortened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery service lifeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The battery management system automatically monitors battery performance parameters, determines SOH degradation state, and updates control logic without manual intervention. The system serves itself by collecting data from sensors, processing it through the determination unit, and autonomously adjusting charging/discharging parameters based on degradation level.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors battery performance parameters (voltage, current, temperature, capacity) and uses this feedback to determine the SOH degradation state. Based on the determined degradation level, the control logic is updated and applied to subsequent charging/discharging operations, creating a closed-loop feedback system that adapts to battery aging.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If centralized monitoring of multiple batteries is implemented, then performance degradation is reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance degradation resistanceVSAvoidmonitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The battery management system is designed to monitor and manage multiple batteries of the same model simultaneously using a unified control architecture. The system collects performance parameters from all batteries, determines their respective SOH states, and applies appropriate control logic for each, enabling centralized management of multiple battery units through a single multi-functional platform.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system divides the monitoring task into independent modules: data collection from individual batteries, centralized processing to determine SOH degradation state for each battery, and separate control logic application for each battery based on its specific degradation level. This segmentation allows efficient management of multiple batteries without overwhelming system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If control factors are updated based on SOH degradation, then battery performance is optimized, but measurement precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery performance optimizationVSAvoidSOH measurement precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces complex physical measurement methods with an intelligent determination approach. Instead of requiring highly precise direct measurement of SOH degradation, the system uses sensors to collect battery performance parameters (voltage, current, temperature, capacity) and employs a determination unit to calculate and assess the SOH degradation state based on these measurements and pre-established degradation characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system monitors changes in key battery parameters (capacity, internal resistance, voltage, temperature) over time and uses these parameter changes to determine the SOH degradation state. By tracking parameter evolution rather than requiring absolute precise measurement, the system can accurately assess degradation and update control factors accordingly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A battery performance management system and method using an electric vehicle charging station. The battery performance management server collects battery performance evaluation information including identification information and operation characteristic accumulative information of a battery, identification information and driving characteristic accumulative information of the electric vehicle, and latest charging characteristic information of the battery from a plurality of charging stations through a network. The server determines a current state of health (SOH) corresponding to the collected battery performance evaluation information by using an artificial intelligence model that is trained in advance to receive the battery performance evaluation information and output a SOH of the battery. The server determines a latest control factor corresponding to the current SOH, and transmits the latest control factor to the charging station so that the charging station may transmit the latest control factor to a control system of the electric vehicle to update the control factor.
