  • Publication number: 20230402924
    Abstract: Provided is a control device for suppressing performance reduction of a power storage device. The control device includes: a detector to detect a power storage device parameter relevant to a power storage device; an impedance calculator to calculate an impedance of the power storage device from output of the detector; and a ripple current calculator to calculate an amplitude of ripple current applied to the power storage device, from output of the detector. A converter is controlled on the basis of output of the impedance calculator and output of the ripple current calculator.

  • Publication number: 20230243893
    Abstract: A battery degradation prediction device includes a battery monitoring device that monitors a charge rate SOC of a battery and a temperature T of the battery, and a computing device that computes a capacity residual rate f(t) of the battery on the basis of the charge rate SOC, the temperature T, and an elapsed time t from start of monitoring of the battery. The capacity residual rate f(t) is computed using a first function formula including a first formula. The first formula includes an exponential function having, as a variable, a value obtained by multiplying the elapsed time t by a degradation coefficient a and ?1. The battery degradation prediction device predicts a degradation state of the battery on the basis of the capacity residual rate f(t) computed using the first function formula.
