  • Figure 5 illustrates the voltage across a cell under various loads, versus the discharge. It can be seen that under increased load the voltage measured is much reduced due to the internal resistance of the cell. However, the shape of the curve is unaltered. In order to monitor the conditions of the cell accurately, the open circuit voltage must be measured. However, it is not always practical and in such circumstances the load voltage can be measured and the internal resistance of the cell can be compensated for. Also, the profile illustrated in Figure 4 is only achieved if the battery is allowed to stand for a long time or if the battery has been charged for a few minutes before being open circuited.
  • Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the characteristics of a single cell, in practice typically four cells in series are utilised in each monobloc and these serially arranged strings are arranged in parallel.

It is thus important that the predicted capacity of a battery be updated as the battery ages.
  • the capacity of the battery 1 formed of monoblocs la and lb can be predicted by measuring the amount of charge output from the battery since the last full charge-up and by measuring the open circuit voltage. As long as the open circuit voltage is less than 8.304 volts for a monobloc (i.e. the monobloc is more than about 80% discharge) then the position on the curve characteristic of the battery can be determined.
  • the charge capacity of the battery can be determined by either having a look-up table of open circuit voltage values and related values for charge delivered for a range of total charge capacities characteristic of the battery monobloc, or by fitting the values to a curve which is a known relationship between the open circuit voltage and delivered charge, and is characteristic of a charge capacity. The curve to which the value fits determines the charge capacity.
  • FIGS. 6a and 6b are a flow diagram of the charge loop performed by the battery management system.
  • the battery charger is turned on to charge the battery for an initial predetermined period. This initial period is about five minutes after which time the current is interrupted and a measurement taken of the open circuit voltage of each monobloc la and lb. During the small recharging period the charge input into the battery is measured and deducted from the charge output from the battery. Thus after measuring the open circuit voltage and deducting the input charge, it is possible to make a first charge capacity prediction by fitting the open circuit voltage measurement and the measured output charge of the battery to a curve characteristic of the monoblocs. The battery charger is then switched on for a second predetermined period.
  • This predetermined period is typically about twenty minutes at which time the charger is switched off to allow a second measurement of the open circuit voltage.
  • the charge input to the battery is measured and deducted from the charge output from the battery.
  • the measurements of the charge and open circuit voltage can then be compared to the curve characteristic of the monobloc or to the values stored in the look-up table.
  • the use of two points allows for a far more accurate fitting of the points to the curve or conversion to the look-up table values and therefore a far more accurate estimation of the charge capacity of the battery.
  • the battery charger is then switched on for a third period recharging the battery up to a point which is termed the good charge limit. Checks are made throughout the charge to see whether there have been any unexpected excursions in parameters, such as temperature, current and voltage. If no faults are detected then the batter charger is switched on for a fourth charge period to bring the battery to full charge at which time the battery charger is switched off.
  • This charge loop is performed by the battery management system for each and every recharging operation. However, if the battery is not discharged beyond about 80% of its capacity, then the open circuit voltage will not change and it is not possible to accurately predict a capacity. If the battery has not been discharged beyond about 80% of its capacity for some time, then the battery capacity may well have changed significantly during that time, meaning that the capacity prediction has become outdated. If the capacity prediction is not updated, the actual capacity of the battery could be exceeded resulting in possible battery damage.
  • a back-up prediction which is less accurate than the main prediction performed during the recharging operation, is based preferably on the opportunistic measurement of the open circuit voltage of the battery.
  • the battery management system measures the open circuit voltage for the monoblocs la and lb whenever possible, i.e. whenever the battery is under no load.
  • the voltage thus measured is not an accurate open circuit voltage since the battery has not been allowed to stand for some time or had a small recharge applied thereto.
  • this approximate measurement of the open circuit voltage is utilised in a less accurate prediction for the charge capacity of the battery.
  • This charge capacity prediction can once again only be made if a significant proportion of the battery capacity has been utilised. If this capacity prediction indicates that the capacity is reduced compared to the capacity prediction last made, (i.e. the battery voltage has dropped earlier than expected) then this capacity prediction is input into the memory of the digital processor. This inaccurate prediction can then be updated at the next recharging operation.
  • the battery management system also allows for the battery to be recharged l)y regenerative braking. This greatly increases the efficiency and range of an electric vehicle utilising the battery management system.
  • FIG. 7 A flow diagram of the discharge loop of the battery management system is shown in Figure 7. Initially the power level is set and the output charge measured. The remaining charge is compared with the predicted capacity to determine whether the remaining charge is below a predetermined capacity threshold. If the remaining charge is below the threshold then the output power available from the battery is reduced by the power controller 8. If during this discharge loop no current is being drawn from the battery, then conditions are met for a capacity prediction and the open circuit voltage of the battery is measured to allow the charge capacity prediction. If from this new prediction the charge capacity is below the threshold, then the output power from the battery is reduced.
  • the temperature of the monoblocs la and lb is also monitored. If the temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold then this can also lead to a reduction in the power output from the battery.
  • the measurements of the open circuit voltage or the calculation of the open circuit voltage can be used directly to protect the battery by comparison of this measured or calculated open circuit voltage with a threshold voltage. If the measured or calculated open circuit voltage is less than the predetermined threshold, then the power output from the battery is reduced. For the monoblocs la and lb shown in Figure 1, this threshold voltage would typically be about 7.65 volts, which should correspond to about 97% of usable discharge.

  • V Load l +I Load l R Int V Load 2 +I Load 2 R Int (B *
  • the calculated internal resistance value can then be used to calculate the equivalent open circuit voltage during discharge by applying Equation (A) .
  • Equation (A) An alternative method of calculating the internal resistance is to measure the current and voltage applied during the charge period.
