Degradation of Lithium-ion batteries is a complex process that caused by variety mechanisms. For simplicity, ageing mechanisms are often grouped into three degradation modes (DMs): conductivity loss (CL), active material (LAM) and lithium inventory (LLI). State Health (SoH) typically the parameter used Battery Management System (BMS) to quantify battery based on decrease in capacity increase resistance. However, definition SoH within BMS does not currently include an indication underlying...
Battery equivalent circuit models (ECMs) are widely employed in online battery management applications. The model parameters known to vary according the operating conditions, such as state of charge (SOC). Therefore, recursive ECM parameter estimation is one means that may help improve modelling accuracy.
