  • Patent number: 10614175
    Abstract: A method, system, and a computer readable medium enables determining a design layout of a battery that includes an electrical arrangement of one or more battery cells and one or more electrical components. The method also includes determining operational parameters of a batch of battery cells and electrical components to potentially be used in the battery and selecting at least one battery cell and at least one electrical component for the electrical arrangement of the design layout. The method further includes comparing the operational parameters of the at least one battery cell and at least one electrical component and determining that the operational parameters of the at least one battery cell and at least one electrical component are within a predetermined threshold. The method includes selecting the at least one battery cell and at least one electrical component as a potential combination for the design.

  • Patent number: 10318656
    Abstract: Systems, computer readable media, and method concern determining operational parameters of an inventory of components to be included in a battery. The components can include storage components and electrical components. The method includes generating a system of equations that describe suitable combinations of components in locations in a battery design layout for the battery, the system of equations being generated based at least partially on rules and constraints, and includes analyzing the system of equations using integer optimization. The integer optimization can optimizes, based at least partially on the operational parameters, one or more objective functions in the system of equations to determine at least one solution for the battery design layout, and the at least one solution can include a set of the components for the locations in the battery design layout for the battery. The method includes providing, via an interface, the at least one solution.
