PSL Projects : Dynamic Battery Modeling for System Study

Objective:

 
• Develop a set of battery models for battery-powered system simulations


Battery Type:


• Li-Ion battery
• Li-SO2 battery
• Li-MnO2 battery
• Zinc-Air battery
• Alkaline battery
• Generic battery
 

Modeling Standing Point:


• Focus on system-level simulations rather than exploring battery internal physical processes or battery designs
• Accurately capture the major relevant properties such as electric and thermal characteristics
• Avoid detailed calculations of internal electrochemical processes to save computational cost
 

Battery Model Main Characteristics:


• Nonlinear equilibrium potential
• Rate dependence
• Temperature dependence
• Transient response
• Thermal effects
• Valid for both charging and discharging processes (secondary battery)
 

Battery Model Library:

Model Example— Li-Ion Battery:


• Steady State Study

 

 

The rate dependence of the battery voltage at currents of (from top to bottom) 0.28 A, 0.7 A, 1.0 A, 1.4 A and 2.8 A at a constant temperature of 23oC

 

Battery voltage vs. SOD, at temperatures of (top to bottom) 45oC, 34oC, 23oC, 10oC, 0oC, -10oC and -20oC. The discharge rate is 0.7 A

• Transient Response Study

Battery terminal voltages vs. discharging time, at

discharging currents (top to bottom) 1A, 2A, 4A, 6A, and 8A

 


Battery capacity vs. discharge current, at temperatures of (top to bottom) 328K, 293K, 273K, 253K, 243 K and 233K
 

Model Example— Generic Battery:
 

    The generic battery model can be easily modified to present any user defined battery by simply inputting the battery performance data though the model user interface without involving any model programming details.
