Book Design Optimization Approach to Estimate the Second Life Lithium ion Batteries Life Cycle Prediction

Download or read book Design Optimization Approach to Estimate the Second Life Lithium ion Batteries Life Cycle Prediction written by Kwangwoo Yeum and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries degrade with cyclic usage and storage duration. Batteries close to their end-of-life can no longer fulfill their performance requirements, and have an increased likelihood of catastrophic failures. Different usage conditions, complex manufacturing, and lack of essential data contribute to the complex degradation of second life batteries and hinder accurate analysis of battery capacity degradation. Therefore, a quick and precise diagnosis of used batteries has become an important research area for battery management, specifically in large-scale power storage systems. This thesis illustrates potential approaches for diagnosing battery degradation, considering both a physical-based and a data-driven model. The main objective is to boost the degradation prediction with the data-driven model by leveraging artificially generated data from the physical model. The approach is divided into two steps with two different battery cell models. A gradient-free optimization approach is introduced with the most widely used battery model (21700), which comes with published data of its battery cell structure, to optimize inside-of-the-cell structure. We estimate the physical battery cell structure to acquire artificial data and compare the performance of the estimated battery against the original battery. Then the degradation prediction is investigated with the A123 battery, which has extensive and high quality of battery degradation data but lacks exact cell physical structural information. We acquire artificial degradation data by estimating the physical battery cell structure with the optimization approach, and then utilize these data to boost the original battery life cycle prediction. Linear regression and backpropagation methods (resilient backpropagation, conjugate backpropagation, and bayesian regularization backpropagation) are applied along with various test matrices and cross-validation to compare the life cycle predictions. The life cycle prediction was first conducted with only the actual data. Then the artificial data was added to the training sets to conduct the life cycle prediction. The life cycle prediction error with actual data was improved with resilient backpropagation and a sigmoid activation function by 4 - 6% compared to linear regression. Backpropagation performs better on test sets containing a large amount of extreme values than the linear regression. Lastly, the prediction results with artificial data and actual data were compared by using the regression and resilient backpropagation. Adding artificial data reduced the life cycle prediction error by 0.3 - 1.3% in the regression method; there was a greater improvement when the life cycle prediction error with actual data was over 15%. However, with the backpropagation method, adding artificial data resulted in larger prediction errors.

Book A Hybrid Prognostic Approach for Battery Health Monitoring and Remaining useful life Prediction

Download or read book A Hybrid Prognostic Approach for Battery Health Monitoring and Remaining useful life Prediction written by Mohamed Ahwiadi and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are commonly used in various industrial and domestic applications, such as portable communication devices, medical equipment, and electric vehicles. However, the Li-ion battery performance degrades over time due to the aging phenomenon, which may lead to system performance degradation or even safety issues, especially in vehicle and industrial applications. Reliable battery health monitoring and prognostics systems are extremely useful for improving battery performance, to diagnose the battery's state-of-health (SOH), and to predict its remaining-useful-life (RUL). In general, it is challenging to accurately track the battery's nonlinear degradation features as battery degradation parameters are almost inaccessible to measure using general sensors. In addition, a battery is an electro-chemical system whose properties vary with variations in environmental and operating conditions. Although there are some techniques proposed in the literature for battery SOH estimation and RUL analysis, these techniques have clear limitations in applications, due to reasons such as lack of proper representation of the posterior probability density functions to capture and model the nonlinear dynamic system of Li-ion batteries. In addition, these techniques cannot effectively deal with the time-varying system properties, especially for long-term predictions. To tackle these problems, a novel hybrid prognostic framework has been developed in this PhD work for battery SOH monitoring and RUL prediction. It integrates two new models: the model-based filtering method and the evolving fuzzy rule-based prediction technique. The strategy is to propose and use more efficient techniques in each module to improve processing, accuracy and reliability. Firstly, a newly enhanced mutated particle filter technique is proposed to enhance the performance of particle filter technique and improve the modeling accuracy of the battery system's degradation process. It consists of three novel aspects: an enhanced mutation approach, a selection scheme, and an outlier detection method. Secondly, an adaptive evolving fuzzy technique is suggested for long-term time series forecasting. It has a novel error-assessment method to control the fuzzy cluster/rule generation process-also, a new optimization technique to enhance incremental learning and improve modeling efficiency. Finally, a new hybrid prognostic framework integrates the merits of both proposed techniques to capture the underlying physics of the battery systems for its SOH estimation, and improve the prognosis of dynamic system for long-term prediction of Li-ion battery RUL. The effectiveness of the proposed techniques is verified through simulation tests using some commonly used-benchmark models and battery databases in this field, such as the one from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Prognostic Center of Excellence. Test results have shown that the proposed hybrid prognostics framework can effectively capture the battery SOH degradation process, and can accurately predict its RUL.

Book Modeling and Control of State of Charge of Modular and Second Life Battery Systems

Download or read book Modeling and Control of State of Charge of Modular and Second Life Battery Systems written by Yunfeng Jiang and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to meet the increasing requirements for better utilization of renewable energy technologies, lithium-ion battery energy storage system have currently been developed to power an ever-increasing electrical applications in renewable energy industry and automotive industry. Energy storage capabilities are determined by the battery size, typically expressed in the units from watt hour to megawatt hour. Battery capacity is often fixed and amount of charge is specified in state of charge. If battery is used to plan for long term energy provision, battery size has to be chosen large, making battery energy storage system cost prohibitive. It is necessary to design battery smaller and in modular, but allow them to be exchanged and make sure different modular keep same for state of charge via balancing. In this dissertation, some state-of-the-art modeling and control approaches for battery energy storage system are thoroughly proposed and validated in detail. Firstly, a fractional differential model method is presented for modeling the dynamics of a lithium-ion battery system over a large operating range, which is combination of conventional equivalent circuit model and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experimental data. The proposed model includes a constant phase element term to approximate the non-linear dynamical behavior of the lithium-ion battery through broad operating range. The continuous-time system identification methods are introduced to estimate model parameters of the proposed fractional differential model. Validated on experimental data obtained from a lithium-ion battery, the estimated model provides better model accuracy and model performance than traditional integer equivalent circuit model methods. Secondly, to better utilize a battery energy storage system, a fractional differential battery modeling approach is proposed to characterize power delivery dynamics, given charge and discharge demand as an input, not only in normal operating range, but also in extreme cases, such as battery over-charging and over-discharging. In particular, the proposed model is combined by individual voltage and current models to predict the dynamics of the energy storage and delivery of a lithium-ion battery system. The continuous-time parameterization and estimation methods are fully described and validated on the experimental data from a lithium iron phosphate battery. Finally, some current scheduling strategies are proposed to solve battery heterogeneity and further improve the performance, lifespan and safety of a battery energy storage system with parallel connected battery modules. The scheduling algorithms are formulated in both open-loop and closed-loop implementation. The open-loop algorithm is formulated by solving a typical linear programming problem with detailed knowledge of the battery system. The closed-loop method is computed autonomously by recursive control algorithm without detailed battery knowledge, even when the characteristic parameters change as the battery pack ages. The experimental results indicate the feasibility and flexibility of the proposed current scheduling method in a battery pack system with parallel placed buck regulated battery modules.

Book Holistic Battery Management System Design for Lithium ion Battery Systems Via Physics based Modeling  Estimation  and Control

Download or read book Holistic Battery Management System Design for Lithium ion Battery Systems Via Physics based Modeling Estimation and Control written by Anirudh Allam and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lithium-ion battery systems used in electric vehicles and stationary grid storage applications are composed of numerous batteries that are interconnected to create a battery pack that can satisfy the high energy and power requirements of the desired application. However, the current research in the battery modeling and control community has focused mainly on lithium-ion batteries at the single cell-level in an isolated environment where the cell-to-cell interconnections and pack heterogeneities are not accounted for. Merely applying the existing knowledge of a single cell to such a large-scale battery pack assumes "modularity", wherein modularity is defined as the ability to extrapolate the behavior of a battery pack from a single cell. Recent experimental studies presented in the literature show evidence that the assumption of modularity, in terms of electrical, thermal, and aging behavior, does not hold true. The literature further highlights that a pack reaches its end-of-life sooner than a single cell, the thermal and aging gradient behavior of the pack is non-uniform and aggravated in comparison to a single cell, and the performance of a pack is adversely affected due to cell-to-cell heterogeneities induced by manufacturing variances. As a result, the design of Battery Management Systems for a pack must take these non-uniformities or peculiarities into account while developing algorithms for modeling, estimation, and control. To that end, this dissertation adopts a bottom-up approach by developing modeling and estimation tools at the cell-level, and then extending it to the module/pack-level for efficient control. An experimentally validated electrochemical model at the single cell-level forms the basis to develop a model-based observer to estimate "non-measurable" internal battery health variables. The cell-level electrochemical model is extended to a high-fidelity module-level model by incorporating the thermal, electrical, and aging interactions between cells to analytically and quantitatively understand the effect of heterogeneities and gradients on the behavior of battery modules. Subsequently, the model is utilized to develop an optimization-based control strategy to minimize the non-uniformities, thereby improving the safety and lifespan of battery modules. The outcome of this research will open up opportunities to advance knowledge of cell- and module-level dynamics, accurate real-time prognostic algorithms, and health-conscious module-level control. This research is primarily targeted towards the transportation sector (electric vehicles), but it can be extended to stationary grid storage applications, and more importantly used to determine the feasibility of using end-of-life lithium-ion cells in "second-use" applications.

Book Towards a Systems level Understanding of Battery Systems

Download or read book Towards a Systems level Understanding of Battery Systems written by Akshay Subramaniam and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current imperatives of electrification and decarbonization entail significant improvements in energy density, performance, and cost metrics for battery technology. This has motivated active research into new materials, cell designs, and external controls to ensure safe and efficient operation. Modeling and simulation approaches have a powerful complementary function in this regard, most notably exemplified by the models for Lithium-ion batteries by Newman and co-workers. The overarching theme of this dissertation is thus the development and application of electrochemical modeling approaches at multiple scales in problems relevant to the abovementioned contexts. At the systems level, the development of more intelligent and powerful Battery Management Systems is enabled by fast electrochemical models, which must balance competing considerations of accuracy, computational efficiency, and ease of parameterization. To this end, we report a rigorous and generalized methodology for "upscaling" continuum electrochemical models. This approach, based on the visualization of a battery as Tanks-in-Series, has been demonstrated for both Lithium-ion and more complex Lithium-sulfur batteries. With respect to full models, voltage prediction errors below 20 mV are achieved for high-energy cells in most practical cases. 30 mV errors are achieved for aggressive conditions of high-rate operation at sub-zero ambient temperatures, illustrating their practical utility. This approach results in improved computational speed since each conservation law is replaced by a relatively simple volume-averaged differential or algebraic equation. For examples of large-scale problems, this leads to 10x savings in computation time over fast implementations of conventional models, illustrating competitiveness for real-time applications. In the development of next-generation chemistries, continuum models can serve as a framework for the analysis and interpretation of experimental data, while providing design guidance and helping determine desirable operating regimes. Electrochemical phenomena at different length and time scales are manifested during operation through voltage and temperature signatures, cycle life, and coulombic efficiency. Optimization of cell-level metrics is thus predicated on their correlation with the internal electrochemistry. This entails the integration of electrochemical models at different levels of detail in a computationally efficient and robust manner. To this end, the second half of this dissertation describes our efforts to develop a simulation framework for the modeling of Lithium-metal systems. We first describe a robust computational method to simulate Poisson Nernst Planck (PNP) models for Lithium symmetric cells characterized by thin double layers. This can be leveraged in applications where computational efficiency is of salience, such as cycling simulations and parameterization by coupling kinetic models of interest. This is demonstrated by a systems level method, enabling the quick evaluation of candidate mechanisms appropriately expressed as time-varying rate constants, making it useful for understanding the phenomena underpinning voltage transitions in Lithium symmetric cells. This is followed by a description of a preliminary electrochemical-mechanical model for Li metal interfaces, which is expected to serve as basis for more sophisticated electrochemical-mechanical models for Li metal systems operating under external pressure. We expect these approaches to advance fundamental understanding and design of Li-metal batteries, while creating accessible computational tools to complement experimental studies. Taken together, these contributions are envisaged to advance the knowledge base for model-based design as well as Battery Management Systems, particularly in anticipation of the commercialization of emerging battery chemistries.
