  • Patent number: 12276704
    Abstract: A method of predicting a maximum discharge current for a battery cell includes: receiving a discharge time and a discharge limitation voltage; setting a discharge reference voltage; obtaining a proportional constant and an index parameter corresponding to the discharge reference voltage, wherein the proportional constant and the index parameter are applied to a relation between a constant current and a discharge time during a discharge; calculating a constant current for the discharge time by using the proportional constant and the index parameter; and adjusting the discharge reference voltage when a difference between a temporary discharge limitation voltage at which a voltage due to the constant current and an internal resistance of the battery cell is dropped from the discharge reference voltage and the discharge limitation voltage deviates from a predetermined error.

  • Publication number: 20240213553
    Abstract: A battery management system includes: a voltmeter that measures a voltage of each of a plurality of battery banks; and a controller. The controller selects a first value based on the first value, which is a voltage variation amount of each of the plurality of battery banks during a predetermined time interval, and a second value, which is a standard deviation of a voltage variation amount of each of the plurality of battery banks per unit time; ranks the plurality of battery banks based on a first reference value, which is a ratio of the selected first value to an average value of the selected first value; and diagnoses an abnormality of at least one battery bank among the plurality of battery banks at a designated time point based on the ranked plurality of battery banks.
