Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for predicting the performance of secondary batteries are inefficient when design conditions change frequently, as they require repeated experimental fitting of model parameters, which is time-consuming and impractical.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that utilize an electrochemical model library to predict the electrical performance of secondary batteries by receiving design conditions and experiment data, generating model parameters, and optimizing these parameters using algorithms like particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithms, or Bayesian algorithms, allowing for accurate prediction without repeated experiments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If model parameters are fitted with design conditions for experiments, then prediction accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases when design conditions change frequently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-establishes an electrochemical model library containing multiple model parameters corresponding to different design conditions before actual predictions are needed. When design conditions change, the system retrieves pre-computed model parameters from the library rather than performing new experiments, thereby maintaining prediction accuracy while significantly reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the electrochemical model library that stores replicated model parameters for various design conditions. This digital copy allows the system to query and retrieve appropriate model parameters for different design scenarios without requiring physical re-experimentation, thus resolving the contradiction between accuracy and time efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If repeated experimental fitting is performed when design conditions change, then prediction accuracy is maintained, but productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoiddevelopment efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary computation of model parameters for various design conditions and stores them in the electrochemical model library. When new design conditions arise, the system retrieves pre-computed parameters from the library, eliminating the need for repeated experiments and thereby maintaining both accuracy and high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical experimental fitting process with a computational approach. Instead of physically conducting experiments to fit model parameters for each design condition, the system uses computer-based retrieval from the electrochemical model library, significantly improving productivity while maintaining prediction accuracy.

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

3Productivity

If an electrochemical model library is generated with optimized model parameters, then prediction efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the electrochemical model into multiple discrete model parameters, each corresponding to specific design conditions (e.g., different electrode materials, electrolyte compositions, operating temperatures). These segmented parameters are stored separately in the electrochemical model library, allowing the system to retrieve only the relevant parameters needed for each specific prediction task, thereby improving efficiency while managing complexity through modular organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
