Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If linear regression is performed on change amount of FCC or SOC to detect rapid deterioration, then deterioration detection method is established, but measurement errors and noise cause erroneous determination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeterioration detection accuracyVSAvoidsensor measurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the time-series SOH data into multiple sections and performs curve regression on each section separately. By comparing deterioration coefficients between sections, the system can detect rapid deterioration while reducing the impact of measurement errors in individual data points. This segmentation approach isolates the effect of noise to specific sections rather than affecting the entire detection process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs curve regression analysis on historical SOH data before making deterioration determination. By establishing a baseline deterioration trend through preliminary regression on past data, the system can compare current deterioration rates against this baseline, thereby reducing erroneous determinations caused by temporary measurement errors or noise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If curve regression is performed on time-series SOH data, then deterioration trend can be analyzed, but calculation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeterioration detection accuracyVSAvoidcalculation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments time-series SOH data into multiple sections and performs curve regression on each segment separately. This segmentation reduces calculation complexity by breaking down a large dataset into smaller, more manageable sections, while still maintaining reliable deterioration detection through comparison of deterioration coefficients across sections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter being analyzed from raw SOH values to deterioration coefficients obtained through curve regression. By focusing on the deterioration coefficient as the key parameter and comparing its changes between different time sections, the system simplifies the detection process while improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

SOH estimation unit (4613) estimates a state of health (SOH) of battery (E1, 41) based on measurement data of battery (E1, 41). Deterioration regression curve generation unit (4614) generates a deterioration regression curve of battery (E1, 41) by performing curve regression on a plurality of the SOHs specified in time series for battery (E1, 41). Rapid deterioration determination unit (4615) determines whether or not rapid deterioration has occurred in battery (E1, 41) based on a difference or a ratio between a deterioration coefficient of a deterioration regression curve of battery (E1, 41) generated based on the plurality of SOHs in a first data section and a deterioration coefficient of a deterioration regression curve of battery (E1, 41) generated based on the plurality of SOHs in a second data section.
