SOC estimation is of extreme importance for the reliability and safety of battery operation in large scale energy storage systems.

How to estimate SOC for an assembly of cells in a battery pack remains a subject of great interest.

We recently proposed a new method for SOC determination and tracking for multi-cell assemblies from the single cell (SC) attributes.

In this work we’ll put this method in application for the study of a 3S1P string with temperature imbalance

Full SC/pack correlation:

OPV is a function of OCV of all single cells within assembly

Not directly proportional: need 2 adjustments for every single cell

A scaling factor sf (“SC capacities ratio”)

A translation factor tf (“SC SOC imbalance”)

Both calculable from RCV gathered information

Their evolution characterize pack imbalance.

Average calculation error ranges from0.7% initially to 3% after 300 cycles.Maximum error 5.5%

25°C cell: sf stable but SOC scales shifted by ~5%

60°C cell: lost 30% more capacity and its SOC scale shifted by ~40%

Experimental validation: 3S1P with temperature imbalance

tf and sf variations

Degradation ratio 25°C/60°C slightly larger than that of single cells (0.8)

Degradation of the cells is comparable insingle cell and string testing.Accelerated capacity loss for the string isinduced by drifting of tf.

Unique and simple packSOC estimation method

No physical disassembly, no pack maintenance: reduced downtime

Requires only two measurements of rest cell voltages of all single cells

Reduce the complexity in the SOC & SOH tracking:

Significant benefits to battery control and management

Two parameters, tf and sf to characterize and track cell imbalance

Enables RUL determination with improved accuracy.

Can be coupled with ‘alawa approach for degradation simulation

‘alawa: mechanistic approach towards battery diagnostics

Pack-level and cell-level degradation factors could be singled out and accurately quantified without complicated protocols and procedures.
