Patents by Inventor Shashank Holavanahalli

Shashank Holavanahalli has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11747403
    Abstract: A method for ascertaining the state of charge of an electrical energy storage unit is described. In one example, the method includes ascertaining a voltage gradient at least based on a detected first voltage value of the electrical energy storage unit; comparing the ascertained voltage gradient with a predefined voltage gradient threshold value; and ascertaining the state of charge of the electrical energy storage unit depending on the comparison. A corresponding computer program, a corresponding machine-readable storage medium, a corresponding apparatus and a corresponding electrical energy storage system are also described.

  • Patent number: 11454675
    Abstract: A method is described for determining the capacity of an electrical energy storage unit, which method comprises the steps: a) determining a first capacity value of the electrical energy storage unit using a first mathematical model based at least on an operating time and/or on a charging throughput of the electrical energy storage unit; b) determining a second capacity value of the electrical energy storage unit using a second mathematical model based at least on a second charging throughput value of the electrical energy storage unit and on a state-of-charge difference, which is obtained from the states of charge at two different time instants; c) obtaining a correction factor for determining a capacity value using the first mathematical model on the basis of the determined first capacity value and the determined second capacity value; d) determining a third capacity value of the electrical energy storage unit using the first mathematical model based at least on the obtained correction factor and on the o
