Determination of Internal Temperature Differences for Various Cylindrical Lithium-Ion Batteries Using a Pulse Resistance Approach

Abstract

The temperature of lithium-ion batteries is crucial in terms of performance, aging, and safety. The internal temperature, which is complicated to measure with conventional temperature sensors, plays an important role here. For this reason, numerous methods exist in the literature for determining the internal cell temperature without sensors, which are usually based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. This study presents a method in the time domain, based on the pulse resistance, for determining the internal cell temperature by examining the temperature behavior for the cylindrical formats 18650, 21700, and 26650 in isothermal and transient temperature states for different states of charge (SOCs). A previously validated component-resolved 2D thermal model was used to analyze the location of the calculated temperature TR within the cell, which is still an unsolved question for pulse resistance-based temperature determination. The model comparison shows that TR is close to the average jelly roll temperature. The differences between surface temperature and TR depend on the SOC and cell format and range from 2.14K to 2.70K (18650), 3.07K to 3.85K (21700), and 4.74K to 5.45K (26650). The difference decreases for each cell format with increasing SOC and is linear dependent on the cell diameter.

Lithium-ion battery cell formation: status and future directions towards a knowledge-based process design

“…The internal resistance of LIB cells is an important parameter for assessing cell quality and is routinely determined as part of the EOL to identify scrap. After formation, the internal resistances should have a low standard deviation as it correlates with the cell internal heating, 398,399 which may cause heterogeneous ageing. 400 Further, the internal resistance at low SOCs was found to correlate with cycle life in lab scale NMC111||Gr cells and to be a better predictive feature in comparison to the CE or changes in discharge voltage curves, which are often used to assess the impact of formation protocols.…”

An Electrical–Thermal Coupling Model with Artificial Intelligence for State of Charge and Residual Available Energy Co-Estimation of LiFePO4 Battery System under Various Temperatures

“…The cell-to-cell temperature variations of a power battery in electric vehicles cannot be ignored; in cold weather, due to the deterioration of heat generation and heat dissipation, the module temperature inconsistency would be enhanced [4,[23][24][25]. To control the production cost, the battery module and electric vehicle manufacturer tend to arrange a few temperature sensors on the module, which makes the cells without temperature sensors under monitored.…”

Battery Temperature Prediction Using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System

“…Battery preheating is a common way to help the battery avoid such capacity loss. Due to the structure of the conventional lithium-ion cells, the difference between the battery's inner temperature and its surface temperature could reach around 5 • C [16] or even more when the battery experiences over-discharge [17]. By considering the heat conduction mechanism inside a cylindrical battery, we better understand the time lag between the heat generation inside the battery and its surface temperature.…”
