APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE, SYSTEM HAVING THE SAME AND METHOD FOR MONITORING THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18300835 titled 'APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE, SYSTEM HAVING THE SAME AND METHOD FOR MONITORING THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The high-voltage battery control apparatus described in the patent application is designed to monitor the states of multiple high-voltage batteries within a battery pack. The controllers transition together to an end state once all monitoring operations are completed, ensuring efficient and synchronized monitoring of the batteries.

• High-voltage battery control apparatus:

   - Monitors states of multiple high-voltage batteries
   - Controllers transition together to end state
   - Ensures synchronized monitoring of batteries

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in electric vehicles, renewable energy storage systems, and grid energy storage solutions.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient monitoring of high-voltage batteries in a pack 2. Synchronization of monitoring operations for improved battery management

Benefits

1. Enhanced battery performance and longevity 2. Reduced risk of battery failures 3. Improved overall system efficiency

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing battery management systems in electric vehicles and energy storage solutions for commercial and residential use.

Possible Prior Art

There are existing battery management systems that monitor individual batteries but may not have the capability to synchronize monitoring operations across multiple controllers within a battery pack.

What is the impact of this technology on battery efficiency?

The technology ensures efficient monitoring of high-voltage batteries, leading to improved battery performance and longevity.

How does this innovation compare to existing battery management systems?

This innovation allows for synchronized monitoring operations across multiple controllers within a battery pack, which can enhance overall system efficiency and reduce the risk of battery failures.

Original Abstract Submitted

A high-voltage battery control apparatus includes a plurality of high-voltage battery controllers configured to respectively monitor states of a plurality of high-voltage batteries included in one high-voltage battery pack depending on a predetermined period for monitoring the high-voltage battery pack, wherein the high-voltage battery controllers are configured to transition state of the plurality of high-voltage battery controllers together to an end state when a high-voltage battery controller among the high-voltage battery controllers, which has completed a monitoring operation, first waits until all monitoring operations of the high-voltage battery controllers that have not yet completed monitoring operations are completed and then all the monitoring operations of the high-voltage battery controllers are completed.
