  • Publication number: 20230208141
    Abstract: A control method for using a battery for energy storage for contract capacity users includes, turning on a demand controller, starting output power calculation and battery power supply control, measuring a power consumption time interval set by a utility company as a cycle time, obtaining a power value that a load can use every minute, measuring and calculating an output power of a utility power output once a minute, and accumulating the output power according to time and comparing it with an accumulative usable contract capacity. When accumulative output power of the utility power output is greater than accumulative usable contract capacity and voltage of the battery is higher than a preset lower limit, start the battery to supply power to the load and when the voltage of the battery is lower than the preset lower limit, the battery will not supply power to the load.

  • Publication number: 20160178706
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of detecting the states of a battery involve passing test-oriented charging and discharging pulse pair to a battery under test, and retrieving parameters of the battery, such as voltage, current, and temperature, which respond to the charging and discharging pulse pair, so as to estimate the battery states. The battery states include information pertaining to open-circuit voltage, internal resistance, capacitance, state of charge, and state of health of the battery. The battery state-related information is conducive to quick battery state detection and grading.
