  • Publication number: 20240178676
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for state-of-charge balancing in battery management systems for Si/Li batteries. At least one state-of-charge (SOC) model may be configured, particularly to account for one or more unique characteristics associated with a cell type of one or more cells of the plurality of lithium-ion cells, and a state-of-charge (SOC) of a plurality of lithium-ion cells may be assessed. Based on the assessing of the state-of-charge (SOC), the plurality of lithium-ion cells may be controlled. The assessing may include calculating or estimating the state-of-charge (SOC) using the at least one state-of-charge (SOC) model. The controlling may be configured to equilibrate the state-of-charge (SOC) of the plurality of lithium-ion cells, or to modify a state-of-charge (SOC) of an individual lithium-ion cell or a group of lithium-ion cells, so that the plurality of lithium-ion cells as a whole has a balanced state-of-charge (SOC).

  • Patent number: 11901748
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for state-of-charge balancing in battery management systems for Si/Li batteries. State-of-charge (SOC) of one or more lithium-ion cells may be assessed, and based on the assessing of the SOC, the one or more lithium-ion cells may be controlled. The controlling may include setting or modifying one or more operating parameters of at least one lithium-ion cell, and the controlling may be configured to equilibrate the SOC of the one or more lithium-ion cells or to modify an SOC of at least one lithium-ion cell so that the one or more lithium-ion cells have a balanced SOC.

  • Patent number: 11840138
    Abstract: The invention relates to a thermal control system (100) for a vehicle, the thermal control system (100) comprising at least one first heat exchanger (110) and at least one second heat exchanger (120) that are arranged in series, the first heat exchanger (110) extending mainly on a first plane (P1) intersecting a second plane (P2) on which the second heat exchanger (120) mainly extends such that the first heat exchanger (110) is closer to the second heat exchanger (120) at respective first ends (111, 121) of the two heat exchangers (110, 120) and the first heat exchanger (110) is farther away from the second heat exchanger (120) at respective second ends (112, 122) of these two heat exchangers (110, 120).
