Abstract
Method and system for life cycle management of a battery element used in an electric vehicle A method implemented by means of computers for the life cycle management of battery elements used in electric vehicles is described. A digital identity (ID) of each battery element on a digital platform (P) is generated, comprising a respective unique identification code (C) associated with each battery element (B). The digital platform (P) receives over time data (DA) indicative of attributes of the battery element during a first life comprising a current value of a characteristic parameter (PC) of the battery element (B). Such data are associated with the digital identity (ID) forming offer data. A parameter (BLS) is determined over time indicative of the life of the battery element (B), which is a function of the state of health, SoH, of the battery element and of the operational state data of the battery element (B) such as maintenance event data and/or recharge event data transmitted to the digital platform (P) by an entity (BMS, CS, M) authorized to act on the battery element (B), and the parameter (BLS) indicative of the life of the battery element (B) is associated with the digital identity (ID) of the battery element (B). A subset of offer data of the battery element (B) is stored by means of the digital platform (P) in a digital concatenated blocks register (BC). The digital platform (P) receives a request for re-use of a battery element (B) in a second operational life, comprising a set of admissible values of characteristic parameters (PC) of the battery element (B) for an intended use of the second operational life. The admissible values of the characteristic parameters (PC) associated with the request for re-use are compared with the current values of corresponding characteristic parameters comprised in the offer data of battery elements (B) having a value of the parameter (BLS) indicative of the life of the battery element (B) above a re-use threshold. A battery element (B) is selected for a second operational life according to the request for re-use if the current value of the characteristic parameters (PC) of the battery element (B) satisfies the set of admissible values of the request for re-use. A smart contract is then executed for the registration of the intended use of the second operational life of the selected battery element (B) in the digital register (BC), in association with the digital identity (ID) of the battery element (B).
Description
Method and system for life cycle management of a battery element used in an electric vehicle
Technical field
The present invention generally relates to a method implemented by means of computers for managing the life cycle of a battery element used in an electric vehicle, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Prior art
Battery modules installed on electric vehicles are known to have a limited lifespan. Factors that affect this lifespan include, for example, the number of charge and recharge cycles, activities at low and/or high charge states, ambient temperatures during the operational state, and the time since the battery was manufactured.
A well-known parameter for assessing the degradation state of a battery module is known as state of health (SoH). This parameter does not correspond to a particular physical quantity, and there is no consensus in the industry on its determination. Moreover, the designer of a battery management system may use several parameters, individually or in combination, to derive such parameter, including: resistance, impedance, conductance, capacity, voltage, number of cycles, age of the battery, and/or operating temperature(s).
According to the operational needs, such parameter may be used to define when a battery module is no longer appropriate for use in an electric car. According to this parameter, it may also be determined whether the module may be given a second life for various BTM or FTM applications, such as vehicles with low electrical power demand (e.g., electric bicycles and scooters), storage of energy from photovoltaics, and applications in electrical distribution grids, or whether the state of the module is such that only a materials recycling operation is feasible.
In the prior art, such process requires disassembly of the battery, evaluation of operational parameters to determine the possibility of a second life for the battery, the modules, or cells
comprised therein, packaging and transport, and finally reassembly and adaptation for the second operational life.
EP 3709253 describes a system for collecting data relating to recharge events of electric battery modules for motor vehicles. This data is consequently used to determine environmental credits that are stored in a wallet in a distributed concatenated blocks database. The use of a distributed block database, for example of the blockchain type, allows data history to be preserved transparently and with a high level of security ensured by known consensus algorithms.
According to the prior art, disadvantageously, it is not possible to have real-time knowledge of the life state of a battery dependent on factors and/or data from different events affecting said battery.
Furthermore, the method of determining a possible second life of a battery module is only feasible at the end of its life cycle as an energy storage for motor vehicles, without the possibility of predicting in advance its adaptability to a second life of use.
Summary of the invention
It is the object of the present invention to provide a method capable of overcoming the drawbacks of the above-mentioned prior art, in particular a method for improving the processes of directing a battery or the modules and cells included therein to use in second- life or recycling applications.
The aforesaid objects are achieved, according to the present invention, by a method implemented by means of computers for managing the life cycle of a battery element employed in an electric vehicle having the features defined in the appended claim 1.
Particular embodiments form the subject matter of the dependent claims, the content of which is to be understood as an integral part of this description.
Further forming a subject matter of the invention are a system and a computer program as claimed.
In summary, the method implemented by means of computers for the life cycle management of a battery element covered by the invention comprises collecting and storing, via a digital platform, data indicative of attributes of the battery element such as characteristic parameters, usage, maintenance, production specifications, and properties.
Such data are associated with a digital identity of the battery element comprising a unique identification code. Such associated data, or data derived therefrom, allow for the determination of a parameter indicative of the operational state of the battery element.
Such parameter may be used as a determinant for decision logics concerning the use of the battery element for a second operational life.
The method further comprises receiving, on the digital platform, requests for re-use for a second life, including admissible values of characteristic parameters of a battery element.
Through the comparison of admissible values with current values of corresponding characteristic parameters of the battery element, it is possible to select battery elements with features satisfactory for second-life requirements.
Furthermore, the method allows for the storage of part of the data indicative of attributes of the battery element, the parameter indicative of the life of the battery element, and the unique identifier code associated with the battery element in a concatenated blocks database.
Advantageously, the solution that is the subject matter of the invention enables real-time monitoring of use and performance data of a battery or the components thereof, collecting data regarding a battery originating from authorized entities, and maintaining it in a secure and transparent manner. All of this enables improved decision-making and logistics processes for the use of a battery or the components thereof in second-life use or recycling applications based on operational data collected and/or processed.
Brief description of the drawings
Further features and advantages of the invention will be presented in greater detail in the following detailed description of an embodiment thereof, given by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a representative block diagram of an embodiment of a system for the life cycle management of battery elements according to the invention; and
Fig. 2 is a flow chart of an embodiment of the method for the life cycle management of battery elements according to the invention.
Detailed description
In order for the present invention to be better understood, some preferred, but non-limiting, embodiments will now be described by way of example.
Fig. 1 shows a block diagram representative of an embodiment of a system for life-cycle management of battery elements, generically denoted as B. Examples of battery elements are battery packs, battery modules, or cells of a battery.
The system comprises a digital management platform P comprising at least one computer, suitable for storing in a database DB associated therewith a digital identity ID of each battery element managed by the system. A plurality of digital identities ID1, ID2, ID3, ID4, ID5 of different battery elements are shown by way of example in the figure.
At least one external entity, authorized to act on a battery element, is coupled to the digital platform. Authorized entities may be, for example, charging stations CS of the battery element B, battery management systems BMS associated with the battery element B in a vehicle in which the battery element is installed, or maintenance stations M of the battery element B. Each CS, BMS, M entity is suitable for transmitting over time to the digital platform P data indicative of at least one attribute of the battery element B in a first operational life of the battery element according to a first use.
The digital platform P is also coupled with a digital concatenated blocks register BC replicated on a plurality of nodes on a computer network.
A flow chart indicative of the steps in a method implemented by means of computers for the life-cycle management of battery elements B used in electric vehicles covered by the present invention is shown in Fig. 2. The order of steps illustrated is not to be considered strictly limiting.
At step 100, a digital identity ID is generated on the digital platform P for each battery element B whose life cycle is to be managed. This digital identity comprises a respective unique identification code C associated with each battery element B. Such unique identification code C may, for example, be assigned by the manufacturer of a battery element B or assigned on an incremental basis by the digital platform P.
At step 110, the digital platform P receives over time data DA indicative of an attribute of a battery element B in a first operational life according to a first use, in which said indicative data DA comprise a current value of at least one characteristic parameter Pc of the battery element B.
The characteristic parameters Pc may be, for example, be the capacity of the battery element B, the peak power of the battery element B, the weight of the battery element B, the volume of the battery element B, the management system of the battery element B, the thermal management (or cooling method) of the battery element B, the identification code of an associated electric vehicle (e.g. VIN), the number of modules replaced, the number of total charge cycles of the battery element B, the total energy of charge of the battery element B, and the date of the last update of the management software associated with the battery element.
In cases in which the battery element B is a complex element composed of multiple cells, such as a battery pack, the characteristic parameters Pc may further include the number of modules or cells replaced.
Such characteristic parameters Pc may be the result of processing performed by the digital platform P on the basis of the data DA received from the authorized external entities CS, BMS, M.
The data DA indicative of an attribute of the battery element B may also include ownership or possession data of the battery element, usage data of the battery element, recharge event data of the battery element, or maintenance event data of the battery element. Such data are transmitted to the digital platform P by the authorized entities BMS, CS, M.
In a currently preferred embodiment, the data DA indicative of an attribute of the battery element B may comprise a time sequence of data, for example, a time sequence of data indicative of the charge level of the battery element B.
At step 120 the data DA indicative of attributes of the battery element B are associated with the digital identity IDn of the battery element B forming collectively the offer data of the battery element. Such association may be made by including in the transmission of data DA indicative of attributes, for example through the call to an API, the unique identification code C comprised in the digital identity IDn of the relevant battery element B.
At step 130 at least a subset of said offer data of the battery element B is stored via the digital platform P on the digital concatenated blocks register BC.
For example in the digital concatenated blocks register BC, the state of health (SoH), the associated electric vehicle identification code (e.g. VIN), the number of total charge cycles of the battery element B, the total energy of charge, and the date of the last update of the management software associated with the battery element B may be stored.
In the case in which the battery element B is a complex element comprised of several cells, such as a battery pack, the number of modules or cells replaced may also be stored in the digital concatenated blocks register BC.
Such storage may, for example, occur with a fixed periodicity (e.g., every month), based on changes in the SoH parameter (e.g., a change of one percentage point), or based on which of the two previous conditions occurs first.
At step 140, a parameter BLS indicative of the life of the battery element B is determined over time, which is a function of the state of health, SoH, of the battery element and at least one among operational state data of the battery element, such as maintenance event data of the battery element, recharge event data of the battery element, transmitted to the digital platform P by the respective authorized entity, BMS, M, CS. The parameter BLS is associated with the digital identity of the battery element by the digital platform P.
The parameter BLS indicative of the life of the battery element may be stored at step 150 via the digital platform P in the digital concatenated blocks register BC. Such storage may take place, for example, as a function of the execution of a consensus algorithm that provides for the consensus of at least some of the authorized authorities. Such execution of a consensus algorithm may, for example, occur with a fixed periodicity (e.g., every month), based on changes in the parameter BLS (e.g., a change of one percentage point), or based on which of the two previous conditions occurs first.
The parameter BLS indicative of the battery element life may be used to determine that the battery element is destined for end-of-life recycling if the parameter BLS has a value below a predetermined re-use threshold value. For example, a value below the threshold results in the association of a recycling flag with the digital identity ID associated with the affected battery element B. Such comparison is shown in step 160 and the destination for recycling in step 170.
180 denotes the step in which the digital platform P receives a request from an external user to re-use a battery element B in a second operational life. Such request for re-use comprises a set of admissible values of at least one characteristic parameter Pc for the battery element desired for an intended use of the second operational life.
At step 190, the permissible values of the characteristic parameters Pc associated with the request for re-use are compared with the current values of corresponding characteristic parameters comprised in the offer data of the battery element recorded in the database DB associated with the digital platform P, for battery elements that have a value of the parameter BLS of the battery element above the predetermined re-use threshold value.
At step 200, a battery element is selected for a second operational life according to the request for re-use if the current value of the characteristic parameters Pc of the battery element satisfies the set of admissible values of the request for re-use. This selection may be made by calculating a score based on the offer data of the battery element B and the admissible values of the characteristic parameters Pc associated with the request for re-use.
Finally, at step 210 a smart contract is executed for the registration of the intended use of the second operational life of the selected battery element, according to the request for re-use in the digital register BC, in association with the digital identity ID of said battery element.
Without prejudice to the principle of the invention, the embodiments and the details of execution may vary widely with respect to that which has been described and illustrated purely by way of non-limiting example, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention defined by the appended claims.
