Online Parameterization of Lumped Thermal Dynamics in Cylindrical Lithium Ion Batteries for Core Temperature Estimation and Health Monitoring.

摘要

Lithium ion batteries should always be prevented from overheating and hence thermal monitoring is indispensable. Since only the surface temperature of the battery can be measured, a thermal model is needed to estimate the core temperature of the battery, which can be higher and more critical. In this paper, an online parameter identification scheme is designed for a cylindrical lithium ion battery. An adaptive observer of the core temperature is then designed based on the online parameterization methodology and the surface temperature measurement. A battery thermal model with constant internal resistance is explored first. The identification algorithm and the adaptive observer is validated with experiments on a 2:3Ah 26650 lithium iron phosphate/graphite battery. The methodology is later extended to address temperature dependent internal resistance with non-uniform forgetting factors. The capability of the methodology to track the long term variation of the internal resistance is beneficial for battery health monitoring.
