VEHICLE CONTROL BASED ON BATTERY TEMPERATURE ESTIMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17884189 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL BASED ON BATTERY TEMPERATURE ESTIMATION
Simplified Explanation
- A vehicle has a battery, motor, and controllers. - The controllers reduce power output from the battery to the motor if data shows that the internal cell temperature of the battery exceeds a threshold. - The data is based on the surface temperature of at least one cell and a cell heating power parameter derived from multiple parameters, a delay timer, and a filter.
Potential Applications
- Electric vehicles - Hybrid vehicles - Energy storage systems
Problems Solved
- Preventing overheating of battery cells - Improving safety of electric vehicles - Extending battery life
Benefits
- Enhanced battery performance - Increased safety - Longer battery lifespan
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle includes a battery, a motor, and one or more controllers. The controllers, responsive to data indicative of an internal cell temperature of one or more cells of the battery exceeding a threshold, decrease power output from the battery to the motor. The data is based on a surface temperature of at least one of the cells and a cell heating power parameter derived from a plurality of parameters and via a delay timer and a filter.
