Patent number: 8849598Abstract: A method of estimating the internal state of a first electrochemical system for power storage is disclosed. The SoC and the electrochemical impedance are determined for different internal states of a second electrochemical system of a same type as the first electrochemical system being studied. An electrochemical impedance model is then defined as a function of the SoC and of parameters.

Publication number: 20140067297Abstract: The present invention relates to an optimized method for thermal management of the surface and core temperature of an electrochemical system under nominal and extreme operating conditions. For applications relating to hybrid and electric vehicles, the thermal state (T) at the surface and in the core of the constituent elements of the system has to be controlled in order to prevent thermal runaway, fire and explosion risks. Reconstruction of the internal characteristics that are not directly measurable, such as the temperature in the core of the elements, is carried out using an electrical, thermal and thermochemical runaway model of the battery.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2012Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: IFP ENERGIES NOUVELLESInventors: Eric Prada, Valérie Sauvant-Moynot

Patent number: 8548762Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of estimating the internal state of an electrochemical system by a zero-dimensional (0D) electrochemical mathematical model for estimating the characteristics of a battery that are not directly measurable during operation thereof. For applications relating to hybrid and electric vehicles, the most significant internal characteristics are the state of charge (SoC), the state of health (SoH) and the thermal state (T). Reconstruction of the internal characteristics is achieved using a mathematical model of the battery. The method can be used with the operation of the battery itself (real time) with a concentrated-parameter (0D) or off-line mathematical model, for calibration, an optimization or a validation of management and estimation strategies. The method allows simulation of the thermal and electrical behavior of a battery.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2010Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: IFP Energies NouvellesInventors: Eric Prada, Valérie Sauvant-Moynot

Patent number: 8532945Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of estimating the internal state of an electrochemical system using mathematical models which allow management of an electrochemical battery during operation, and notably estimation of the characteristics of the battery that are not directly measurable. For applications relating to hybrid and electric vehicles, the most significant internal characteristics are the state of charge (SoC), the state of health (SoH) and the thermal state. Reconstruction of the internal characteristics is achieved using mathematical models of the battery. The method can be used synchronously with the operation of the battery itself (real time) with a reduced or off-line mathematical model, for calibration, optimization or validation of management and estimation strategies. The method is useful for battery sizing, which has to be optimized according to the energy and thermal management strategies.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2009Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: IFP Energies NouvellesInventors: Antonio Sciarretta, Valérie Sauvant-Moynot

Publication number: 20130069660Abstract: The invention is a method for estimating the internal state of a system for the electrochemical storage of electrical energy, such as a battery. For various internal states of batteries of the same type as a battery being analysed, impedance measurements are carried out by adding an electrical signal to the current passing through the batteries. Then, an RC circuit is used to model the impedances. Next, a relationship is calibrated between the SoC (and/or the SoH) and the parameters of the RC circuit using multivariate statistical analysis. A measurement of the impedance of the battery under analysis is carried out which is modeled using the RC circuit. Finally, the relationship of the equivalent electric circuit defined for the battery being analysed is used to estimate the internal state of that battery.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2010Publication date: March 21, 2013Inventors: Julien Bernard, Arnaud Delaille, François Huet, Jean-Marie Klein, Rémy Mingant, Valérie Sauvant-Moynot

Publication number: 20110208452Abstract: A non-invasive method and device for determining the electrical impedance of an electrochemical system for electric power is disclosed. The voltage and current are measured at terminals as a function of time, and these measurements are converted to signals dependent on frequency. The signals dependent on frequency are subjected to at least one segmentation. For each segment, a power spectral density of the current signal ?I dependent on frequency and the cross power spectral density of the voltage and current signals ?IV dependent on frequency are determined for each segment. The electrical impedance of the electrochemical system is determined by calculating a ratio dependent on frequency of a mean of the power spectral densities ?I dependent on frequency to a mean of the cross power spectral densities ?IV dependent on frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2011Publication date: August 25, 2011Inventors: Rémy MINGANT, Valérie SAUVANT-MOYNOT, Julien BERNARD
