  • Patent number: 11333710
    Abstract: In a method for estimating a voltage of a battery a given battery model (BM) is provided, wherein the given battery model (BM) is a single particle model. A C-rate of the battery is determined. The battery model (BM) is adapted based on the C-rate. The voltage of the battery is estimated by means of the adapted battery model (BM).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10873110
    Abstract: A device is provided for determining the internal temperature of an electrochemical energy storage device, particularly for a motor vehicle. The internal temperature of a cell winding of the energy storage device is determined by calculation in a control device of the energy storage device by way of a thermal model for the energy storage device which is saved in the control device.

  • Publication number: 20140012445
    Abstract: A temperature control method for an electrochemical energy storage device having a cooling device for cooling the storage device in a vehicle. An actual temperature value of the storage device is determined, and a desired temperature value of the storage device is set by a two-point control system, which activates the cooling device at an upper temperature limit of the storage device and deactivates the cooling device at a lower temperature limit. The upper temperature limit and/or the lower temperature limit are defined as a function of time during operation of the storage device or during activation of the cooling device. The upper temperature limit and/or the lower temperature limit are defined as a function of the energy storage device data and/or the vehicle operating data.

  • Publication number: 20130252049
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting the temperature of an electrochemical energy storage system, in particular for use in a motor vehicle, includes a temperature sensor unit. The energy storage system has one or more storage cells with, in each case, two connection terminals for making electric contact therewith. The connection terminals are in electric contact via connection elements. In order to detect a temperature corresponding to an internal temperature of the storage cells, a respective temperature sensor of the temperature sensor unit is arranged on a connection terminal of at least one of the storage cells of the energy storage system.
