  • Patent number: 11340277
    Abstract: An abnormality determination device for a secondary battery includes an internal-resistance calculation unit, a threshold memory unit, a capacity balance comparison unit, and an abnormality determination unit. The internal-resistance calculation unit detects an internal resistance in a negative-electrode reaction resistance dominant region in which a reaction resistance of a negative electrode is dominant in a charge and discharge reaction of the secondary battery. The threshold memory unit stores a capacity balance threshold used as a reference for determining abnormality in a balance between a capacity of a positive electrode and a capacity of the negative electrode in the secondary battery. The capacity balance comparison unit compares the internal resistance calculated by the internal-resistance calculation unit with the capacity balance threshold stored in the threshold memory unit.

  • Publication number: 20210339653
    Abstract: In a system for setting power supply of reusable secondary cell modules, a degradation level estimation unit estimates a degradation level of a cell-module performance of each of a plurality of secondary cell modules, based on: the history information items about the respective the secondary cell modules acquired by a history information collection unit; and the cell-module performances of the respective secondary cell modules collected by a cell performance collection unit. A suppliable quantity prediction unit predicts a suppliable quantity of power of each of the plurality of secondary cell modules in accordance with the degradation level of the cell-module performance of a corresponding one of the plurality of secondary cell modules. A supply balance setting unit sets a power supply balance among the plurality of secondary cell modules based on the suppliable quantity of power of each of the plurality of secondary cell modules predicted by the prediction unit.
