  • Patent number: 10769236
    Abstract: Battery models using robust fail-safe iteration free approach for solving Differential Algebraic Equations, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a model of the rechargeable battery; determining one or more initial conditions for one or more algebraic variables of the model using a solver; holding differential variables of the model static by a switch function while determining the one or more initial conditions; applying the initial conditions to the model by the switch function; and determining one or more parameters for the rechargeable battery by solving the algebraic and differential equations.
    Type: Grant

    Assignees: University of Washington, Washington University
    Inventors: Dayaram Sonawane, Manan Pathak, Venkat Subramanian, Matthew Lawder
  • Patent number: 10037395
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for modeling the amount of current discharged by a battery is provided. The method is implemented by a computing device communicatively coupled with a memory, and includes generating, by the computing device, a model of at least one battery cell comprising a positive electrode region, a negative electrode region, and a separator region. The method also includes transforming the positive electrode region, the negative electrode region, and the separator region of the battery into a single region in the model. In addition, the method includes generating, by the computing device, a plurality of trial functions associated with the single region, and determining, by the computing device, the amount of current discharged from the battery cell based on the trial functions.
