Abstract

Various examples of the disclosure pertain to determining a set of calendar aging values of a test cell of a rechargeable battery, e.g., LIBs. The set of calendar aging values of the test cell of the rechargeable battery corresponds to a set of Temperature-State of Charge (T-SOC) value pairs. The set of calendar aging values of the test cell of the rechargeable battery is determined based on a battery-generic reference model for calendar aging of a (specific or random) battery cell and on a further set of calendar aging values of the test cell of the rechargeable battery. The further set of calendar aging values is obtained/derived from measurements of the test cell of the rechargeable battery and corresponds to a further set of T-SOC value pairs.

Abstract

A method for monitoring a battery system is proposed. The method includes providing a sequence of pairs of measured current and voltage values that follow one another in time. The pairs of current and voltage values indicate the current flowing through the battery system and the voltage present at the battery system. The method also provides for an electrical equivalent model of the battery system to be provided. The equivalent electrical model has several impedances connected in series. Initial impedance parameter values are provided for the impedances of the equivalent electrical model. The method provides for adjusting a first impedance parameter of an impedance of the equivalent electrical model based on the difference between a first voltage value simulated based on the initial impedance parameter values and the first current value of the finite sequence and the first measured voltage value of the finite sequence. An optimized first impedance parameter value is thereby obtained. By minimizing the deviation of a sequence of simulated voltage values obtained on the basis of the electrical equivalent model and the first sequence of measured current values from the sequence of measured voltage values by adapting at least one further impedance parameter of the impedances of the electrical equivalent model, at least one optimized further impedance parameter value of the at least one further impedance parameter is obtained. A battery management system for carrying out the method is also proposed.
