Battery Thermal Control via Power Gradient Dynamics

The patent applies dynamics by making the consideration duration variable rather than fixed. The control device adapts the duration based on the gradient of electrical power demand: using a first (shorter) duration when power demand is rapidly changing and a second (longer) duration when power demand is stable. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to maintain simplicity while improving reactivity to rapid changes in electrical power demand.

The patent changes the parameter of consideration duration based on the gradient of electrical power. By calculating the gradient and selecting different durations accordingly, the system optimizes its response time without increasing overall complexity. This parameter change enables the control device to react quickly when needed while maintaining simplicity during stable operating conditions.

The patent segments the calculation of electrical power average into two distinct approaches based on operating conditions: using a shorter consideration duration when power gradient is high and a longer duration when power gradient is low. This segmentation avoids the need to continuously store and calculate over a fixed long period, reducing memory and computational requirements while maintaining reactivity.

The patent makes the consideration duration dynamic rather than fixed, adjusting it based on the gradient of electrical power demand. This dynamic approach eliminates the need for continuous storage of N seconds of power data, as the system only needs to store power measurements for the currently selected duration, significantly reducing device complexity.

The patent changes the parameter of averaging period based on the gradient of electrical power. When the gradient is high (rapid power changes), a shorter period is used to capture current conditions accurately. When the gradient is low (stable power), a longer period provides smoother control. This adaptive parameter change maintains simple control logic while significantly improving temperature control accuracy during rapid power changes.

The patent makes the averaging period dynamic, adjusting it according to real-time power gradient conditions. This dynamic adaptation allows the control system to maintain accuracy during rapid changes without requiring complex control logic, as the adjustment is based on a simple gradient calculation of the power demand.

The patent changes the consideration duration parameter based on the detected phase of power demand (increasing or decreasing). By automatically selecting different durations according to the power gradient, the system achieves high adaptability to different operating phases while maintaining ease of operation, as the selection is automated and does not require user intervention.

The patent makes the control device dynamic by automatically adapting the consideration duration to the current power demand phase. This dynamic behavior provides versatility across different operating conditions while keeping the device simple to operate, as the adaptation occurs automatically based on real-time power measurements without requiring user configuration or intervention.
