  • Publication number: 20230266401
    Abstract: A method and a system for determining an assessment indicator for assessing at least one of a performance, a state, and a load condition of a battery storage. A series of measurements of at least one physical parameter of the battery storage, including at least one of voltage and current, is obtained. The measurements correspond to successive points of time of a time segment. The series of measurements is input to an encoder of an autoencoder. A reconstructed series of measurements is received from a decoder of the autoencoder. A value of a reconstruction error is calculated based on the series of measurements and the reconstructed series of measurements, and the assessment indicator is determined based on the calculated value of the reconstruction error.

  • Publication number: 20220382940
    Abstract: A simulation system and a method for simulating a performance of at least one storage unit of an energy storage. The simulation system includes at least one respective model for a respective storage unit of the energy storage. The encoder-decoder model includes at least one recurrent neural network or at least one neural network having a transformer architecture. The encoder processes an encoder input sequence that describes a measured temporal course of current and voltage or of power and voltage of the storage unit assigned to the model. The encoder generates an initial state of the model. The decoder processes a decoder input sequence describing a temporal course to be simulated of the current or of the power of the storage unit. The decoder generates a decoder output sequence that describes a simulated temporal course of the voltage of the storage unit assigned to the model.

  • Patent number: 11474158
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and an electrical impedance analyzing system for analyzing electrical impedance measurements of an electrochemical battery, including: a translating of respective electrical impedance measurements that corresponds to subtracting an ohmic alternating current resistance value from the real part of electrical impedance; and a scaling using scaling factors, the absolute values of which are based on an electrical impedance that corresponds to a transition between a translated first subseries and a translated second subseries of the series of electrical impedance measurements, the first subseries being associated with a battery behavior of the electrochemical battery in which the electrical impedance is dominated by diffusion processes, the second subseries being associated with a battery behavior of the electrochemical battery in which the electrical impedance is dominated by charge transfer processes at the electrodes of the battery.
