Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery diagnosis technologies fail to provide a non-destructive method for assessing the state of a battery based on voltage and capacity indicators, particularly failing to identify batteries with a sudden drop in State of Health (SOH).
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that diagnose the state of a battery by analyzing differential profiles of voltage and capacity, identifying target peaks within a predetermined voltage range, and comparing their voltages and change rates with reference peaks to detect sudden drops in SOH.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional battery diagnosis methods are used, then general battery state can be assessed, but batteries with sudden SOH drop cannot be identified
Solution Approach 1:
The differential profile is segmented into multiple peaks, each corresponding to different electrode reactions. By analyzing individual peak characteristics rather than the overall profile, the method can detect subtle changes indicating sudden SOH drops with higher precision and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The method performs preliminary diagnosis by comparing target peaks from differential profiles obtained at different states of charge. This preliminary comparison enables early detection of batteries experiencing sudden SOH drops before complete failure occurs, allowing preventive maintenance actions.
2Measurement precision
If detailed differential profile analysis is performed, then accurate SOH diagnosis is achieved, but diagnosis time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The method extracts only the critical target peaks from the differential profile that are most indicative of SOH status. By focusing analysis on these specific peaks rather than the entire profile, accurate SOH diagnosis is achieved with reduced computation time and faster results.
Solution Approach 2:
The method performs partial analysis by examining only the necessary peak characteristics (voltage, area, position) rather than complete profile analysis. This selective approach maintains diagnostic accuracy while significantly reducing the time required for battery state assessment.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple battery parameters are monitored, then comprehensive diagnosis is achieved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The differential profile analysis method serves multiple diagnostic functions simultaneously: it assesses general SOH status, detects sudden drops, and identifies specific degradation patterns. This multi-functional approach provides comprehensive diagnosis without requiring separate systems for each diagnostic purpose, maintaining system simplicity.
