METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING INTERNAL SHORT CIRCUIT IN BATTERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826958 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING INTERNAL SHORT CIRCUIT IN BATTERY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method and apparatus for detecting an internal short circuit in a battery. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method involves acquiring values of basic parameters of the battery, such as voltage or current.
- It also involves acquiring values of degradation parameters, which are used in a battery model to indicate the internal state of the battery.
- By comparing the values of certain degradation parameters, the method determines whether an internal short circuit has occurred in the battery.
- If an internal short circuit is detected, the method performs an operation in response to this occurrence.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Battery management systems in electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles.
- Energy storage systems for renewable energy sources.
- Portable electronic devices with rechargeable batteries.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Internal short circuits in batteries can lead to safety hazards, reduced battery performance, and decreased lifespan.
- Detecting internal short circuits early can prevent further damage and allow for timely maintenance or replacement.
Benefits of this technology:
- Early detection of internal short circuits can prevent accidents and ensure the safe operation of battery-powered devices.
- By monitoring degradation parameters, the method provides insights into the internal state of the battery, allowing for better battery management and optimization.
- Timely detection and response to internal short circuits can extend the lifespan of batteries and improve overall battery performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method and apparatus for detecting an internal short circuit in a battery are provided. The method includes acquiring values of one or more basic parameters of the battery, acquiring values of one or more degradation parameters used in a battery model indicating an internal state of the battery based on the values of the one or more basic parameters, determining whether the internal short circuit occurs in the battery based on a first value of a first degradation parameter and a second value of a second degradation parameter from among the one or more degradation parameters, and performing an operation in response to the internal short circuit occurring in the battery.
