1Measurement precision

If a multi-state model is constructed to accurately describe battery health states, then reliability evaluation precision is improved, but model complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability evaluation precisionVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The battery system is segmented into five distinct health states (excellent, attenuation, risk, defect, fault) based on SOH ranges, allowing complex battery behavior to be modeled through discrete state transitions rather than continuous complex functions. This segmentation simplifies the modeling approach while maintaining evaluation precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a hierarchical four-level structure (battery cell, battery pack, battery cluster, battery compartment) that adds a spatial dimension to the modeling. This dimensional approach allows the complex multi-state problem to be decomposed into manageable hierarchical levels, reducing overall model complexity while preserving reliability evaluation accuracy.

Solution Approach 1:

The battery system is divided into four hierarchical levels (battery cell, battery pack, battery cluster, battery compartment), each with its own state probability distributions. This segmentation allows complex system-level calculations to be broken down into independent lower-level calculations, improving modeling precision while managing calculation complexity through modular computation.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the state probabilities from individual battery cells through the hierarchical structure to obtain system-level reliability metrics. By combining results from lower levels (cell → pack → cluster, compartment, system), the model achieves high precision without requiring exponentially complex calculations at each level.
