Adaptive Constant-Current/Constant-Voltage Charging of a Battery Cell Based on Cell Open-Circuit Voltage Estimation

Abstract

This paper presents the novel design of a constant-current/constant-voltage charging control strategy for a battery cell. The proposed control system represents an extension of the conventional constant-current/constant-voltage charging based on the so-called cascade control system arrangement with the adaptation of the battery charging current based on the open-circuit voltage parameter estimation. The proposed control strategy features two feedback controllers of the proportional-integral type responsible for: (i) controlling the battery open-circuit voltage towards its fully charged state, and (ii) simultaneously limiting the battery terminal voltage to avoid the battery terminal voltage constraint violation. The open-circuit voltage on-line estimation is implemented by using the system reference adaptive model approach to estimate the linear time-invariant battery equivalent circuit model parameters, whose asymptotic convergence is guaranteed according to Lyapunov stability theory. The proposed concept of the battery charging control is verified by means of simulations using the experimentally obtained model of a lithium iron phosphate battery cell, and it is also compared to other charging methods with respect to charging speed-up potential compared to conventional charging. The proposed method, which can be easily extended to conventional chargers, results in 23.9% faster charging compared to conventional charging, thus representing an inexpensive and straightforward upgrade to conventional battery charging systems.

Investigation of single and multiple MPPT structures of solar PV-system under partial shading conditions considering direct duty-cycle controller

“…The OCV of PV modules can be formulated as a function of the array’s temperature 58 , as follows; where V oc(STC) is the OCV at STC, T (STC) is the temperature of the PV module at STC ( 25°C ), µ Vov is the thermal-coefficient for OCV for PV cell ( V/ o C ).…”

Real-Time Lithium Battery Aging Prediction Based on Capacity Estimation and Deep Learning Methods

“…This study assumed that the charge cycle consisted of a constant current (CC) stage followed by a constant voltage (CV) stage because this is probably the most applied charge strategy [30]. The input charge during the CV stage in any charge cycle was assumed to be the same as that measured in the reference cycle because, as discussed in more detail in Section 4 (see Figure 5 and Table 2), this value remains relatively constant over the life of the battery.…”

Joint Estimation of State of Charge and State of Health of Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on Stacking Machine Learning Algorithm

“…Reference [3] proposed a fast and accurate method to measure the OCV after comparing three conversion methods of differential equations, thus improving the accuracy of SOC prediction. Reference [4] proposed a novel constant-current/constantvoltage charging control strategy for batteries by adjusting the battery charging current based on the estimation of the open-circuit voltage parameter. Reference [5] used the opencircuit voltage method to obtain an SOC estimate based on the average value calculated from the random forest output OCV-SOC curve to reduce the hysteresis effect.…”
