METHOD OF CONTROLLING BATTERY AND BATTERY POWER CONVERSION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240345168 titled 'METHOD OF CONTROLLING BATTERY AND BATTERY POWER CONVERSION APPARATUS
The abstract of the patent application describes a method of controlling a battery by estimating the state of charge (SOC) of a first battery based on its measured current, setting an output voltage command value for a DC/DC converter that adjusts the voltage of a second battery based on the estimated SOC, and adjusting the estimated SOC value based on the output voltage command value.
- The method involves estimating the SOC of a battery based on its current, allowing for more accurate control of the battery's charging and discharging processes.
- By setting an output voltage command value for a DC/DC converter, the voltage of a second battery can be adjusted to optimize the overall battery system's performance.
- The adjustment of the estimated SOC value based on the output voltage command value ensures that the battery system operates efficiently and effectively.
- This innovation can lead to improved battery management systems, enhancing the overall performance and longevity of battery systems.
- The method provides a more precise and dynamic way of controlling batteries, leading to better energy management and utilization.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Renewable energy storage systems - Portable electronic devices

Original Abstract Submitted
a method of controlling a battery includes: identifying an estimated state of charge (soc) value of a first battery based on a measured current of the first battery; setting an output voltage command value of a direct current (dc)/dc converter, which adjusts a voltage of a second battery and outputs the adjusted voltage to the first battery, based on the estimated soc value; and adjusting the estimated soc value based on the estimated soc value and the output voltage command value.
