EV Power Battery System Test Knowledge – Part 2

  3 External fault issues 3.1 Analysis of Sensor Fault Problems The battery management system needs to have functions such as voltage balancing and overcurrent protection, which are mainly achieved through reliable temperature, voltage, and current sensors.  Usually, sensor failures are not taken seriously, which can have very serious consequences. There are several main types of sensor faults in power batteries: voltage sensor faults, current sensor faults, and temperature sensor faults. Current sensor faults can reduce the accuracy of multi-state estimation, and SOC and temperature measurement data can be applied to real-time update of battery model parameters to achieve high-precision prediction.  Lithium ion batteries need to operate within a safe voltage and temperature range, as exceeding a reasonable range can affect battery performance and cause accidents. Voltage and temperature sensors can also cause balancing errors and thermal management failures in battery ma...

Lithium-ion Battery Cell Temperature Test

  Lithium ion batteries are widely used for their high specific energy, high working voltage, low self-discharge rate, and long lifespan.  Whether used as power sources for electronic products or as energy storage power sources for satellites, they all face battery storage problems in practical use. Due to the self discharge during storage, lithium-ion batteries will cause battery performance degradation. The storage performance of batteries is related to factors such as their state of charge (SOC), storage time, and storage temperature.  According to literature reports, storing the battery at an open circuit voltage of 3.8-3.9V has excellent overall performance, but the storage temperature studied is room temperature and the storage time is only 3 months.  This article investigates the performance of lithium-ion batteries stored at two different states of charge and storage temperatures, providing a theoretical reference for the storage conditions of lithium-ion bat...

Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage System Safety Test

  With the increasing application of large lithium-ion battery packs in the power grid, fire safety based on lithium-ion battery energy storage systems is becoming increasingly important.  Based on the thermal runaway experiment of lithium-ion batteries, a small amount of combustible gas leakage was observed. By analyzing the composition of the leaked gas, CO content and system temperature can be used as the main basis for system warning, and a thermal runaway protection mechanism for lithium-ion batteries can be established.   The lithium-ion battery thermal runaway warning judgment has been added to the energy storage system, and combined with multi-level protection mechanism and safety linkage technology, the overall framework of the fire safety system based on the lithium-ion battery energy storage system has been designed.  The components, communication, and personnel safety in the fire safety system have been elaborated. This system can accurately monitor the t...

Lithium ion Power Battery Cycling and Vibration Test – Part 2

  2.2 Cyclic performance testing of samples At an ambient temperature of (25 ± 2) ℃, the battery module samples were subjected to a 0.5 C charge and discharge cycle test using a constant current constant voltage charging system (CC-CV) and a constant current discharge system. The battery pack was subjected to cycle testing on a multi-channel testing machine.   Test method for samples A and B: First, charge at a constant current of 1.5 A to 4.2 V (one of the monomers has a voltage greater than 4.2 V), then charge at a constant voltage of 4.2 V until the current is less than 2.12 A, and let it rest for 5 minutes.  Discharge at a constant current of 1.5 A again until the termination voltage is 2.8V (the voltage of one cell is less than 2.8V), and charge and discharge in this cycle for 200 times.   Test method for sample C: First, charge at a constant current of 1.5 A to 16.769 V, and then charge at a constant voltage of 17.769 V until the current is less than 3.47 A and...

  In recent years, the automotive logistics industry and the supply and demand market have steadily developed. Overall, the entire industry has entered a period of stable and rapid development. The development of electric vehicles is a national trend, and electric vehicles are widely regarded as the main direction for the transformation and development of future automotive energy and power systems.   The mainstream battery equipped for pure electric logistics vehicles today is mainly large capacity square batteries, which have complex production processes and high production costs. The production volume of small capacity cylindrical batteries is large, and their applications are more widespread. Their production and replacement costs are relatively low.   Considering its strong advantages such as simple manufacturing process, stable performance, high yield, and low cost, small capacity cylindrical batteries will be a better choice.  However, due to the limitations of...
