Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to announce that the 2nd Young Scholar’s Symposium on Battery Design and Management will be held this year in Tongji University, Shanghai, China, from June 8 to 10, 2017. The symposium was held for the first time last year (2016) in Tsinghua University, China. Around 100 young scholars from all over China, whose research interests fall into the fields of battery design and management, attended the symposium. There were many discussions regarding the science and technology of battery design and management in the symposium.

The Young Scholar’s Symposium on Battery Design and Management encompasses a range of disciplines concerning the technologies of battery design, modeling, state estimation, thermal management and safety, etc. This symposium aims to establish close links among these fields, set up system science based on knowledge from other sciences and promote multidisciplinary solutions to settle the complex battery system problems.

The conference website is: http://www.iceee.net/BDM2017/index.html

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Battery modeling: equivalent circuit model, electrochemical model, thermal model, and aging model

  • Battery state estimation: State of Charge, State of Health, State of Life, and State of Power Estimation

  • Battery diagnosis, prognosis, and health management (PHM): physics-based, model-based, data-driven, and hybrid approaches

  • Battery electrochemical/material characteristics: cathode, anode, separator, and electrolyte.

  • Battery cell balancing: passive and active balancing methods; cell consistency assessment

  • Battery grouping/packing techniques: architectural analysis, sensor placement, and power electronic aspects

  • Battery cooling systems and battery thermal management systems (BTMS)

  • Battery charging control

  • BMS hardware design and verification

Battery impedance is essential to the management of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), and impedance characterization can help to monitor and predict the battery states. Many studies have been undertaken to investigate impedance characterization and the factors that influence impedance. However, few studies regarding the influence of the internal temperature gradient, which is caused by heat generation during operation, have been presented. We have comprehensively studied the influence of the internal temperature gradient on impedance characterization and the modeling of battery impedance, and have proposed a discretization model to capture battery impedance characterization considering the temperature gradient. Several experiments, including experiments with artificial temperature gradients, are designed and implemented to study the influence of the internal temperature gradient on battery impedance. Based on the experimental results, the parameters of the non-linear impedance model are obtained, and the relationship between the parameters and temperature is further established. The experimental results show that the temperature gradient will influence battery impedance and the temperature distribution can be considered to be approximately linear. The verification results indicate that the proposed discretization model has a good performance and can be used to describe the actual characterization of the battery with an internal temperature gradient.

Battery impedance based state estimation methods receive extensive attention due to its close relation to internal dynamic processes and the mechanism of a battery. In order to provide impedance for a battery management system (BMS), a practical on-board impedance measuring method based on distributed signal sampling is proposed and implemented. Battery cell perturbing current and its response voltage for impedance calculation are sampled separately to be compatible with BMS. A digital dual-channel orthogonal lock-in amplifier is used to calculate the impedance. With the signal synchronization, the battery impedance is obtained and compensated. And the relative impedance can also be obtained without knowing the current. For verification, an impedance measuring system made up of electronic units sampling and processing signals and a DC-AC converter generating AC perturbing current is designed. A type of 8 Ah LiFePO4 battery is chosen and the valuable frequency range for state estimations is determined with a series of experiments. The battery cells are connected in series and the impedance is measured with the prototype. It is shown that the measurement error of the impedance modulus at 0.1 Hz–500 Hz at 5 °C–35 °C is less than 4.5% and the impedance phase error is less than 3% at <10 Hz at room temperature. In addition, the relative impedance can also be tracked well with the designed system. Full article

In order to optimize the charging of lithium-ion batteries, a multi-stage charging method that considers the charging time and energy loss as optimization targets has been proposed in this paper. First, a dynamic model based on a first-order circuit has been established, and the model parameters have been identified. Second, on the basis of the established model, we treat the objective function of the optimization problem as a weighted sum of charging time and energy loss. Finally, a dynamic programming algorithm (DP) has been used to calculate the charging current of the objective function. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed charging method could effectively reduce the charging time and decrease the energy loss, compared with the constant-current constant-voltage charging method, under the premise of exerting little influence on the attenuation of battery capacity.
