연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

초록

A method and apparatus for determining the state-of-charge of a battery. In response to detecting that the battery is in a rest state, a pre-conditioning current is drawn from the battery to affect a correlation between the state-of-charge of the battery and an open-circuit voltage of the battery. Thereafter, the open-circuit voltage of the battery is measured, and used to determine the state-of-charge.

1. A method of determination of the state-of-charge of a battery, the method comprising: detecting that the battery is in a rest state, wherein the battery comprises one or more battery cells, battery blocks or battery packs;coupling a pre-conditioning logic to the battery;drawing a pre-conditioning current from the battery using the pre-conditioning logic, sufficient to reduce charge of the battery by a charge reduction threshold value that is predetermined to reduce an open circuit voltage to state-of-charge determination error, in response to detecting that the battery is in the rest state to affect a correlation between the state-of-charge of the battery and an open-circuit voltage of the battery;measuring the open-circuit voltage of the battery after drawing the pre-conditioning current; anddetermining the state-of-charge of the battery based on the open-circuit voltage of the batterywherein the determining is subsequent to the completion of a partial discharge of the battery in the rest state. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein detecting that the battery is in a rest state comprises detecting that current flow through the battery is below a predetermined threshold. 3. The method of claim 2 wherein detecting that current flow through the battery is below a predetermined threshold comprises measuring current flow through the battery and comparing the measured current flow against a threshold current-flow value stored within a programmable register. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein detecting that the battery is in a rest state comprises detecting activation of a docking switch, the activation of the docking switch indicating that a system containing the battery has been docked in a predetermined location. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the battery is associated with a passenger-conveying vehicle in which propulsion power is at least occasionally supplied by the battery. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein drawing the pre-conditioning current from the battery comprises drawing current from each battery block of the battery simultaneously. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein coupling the pre-conditioning logic comprises switchably coupling an electrical load between positive and negative output terminals of the battery to draw at least a portion of the pre-conditioning current. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the battery includes multiple battery blocks, the method further comprising drawing current from each battery block of the battery simultaneously comprises switchably coupling a respective electrical load across each battery block of the battery. 9. The method of claim 8 further comprising determining that a first voltage across a first one of the battery blocks is higher than a second voltage across a second one of the battery blocks, and switchably coupling the respective electrical load across the first one of the battery blocks and decoupling the respective electrical load from the other one of the battery blocks to reduce the difference between the first and second voltages. 10. The method of claim 1 wherein drawing the pre-conditioning current from the battery to affect the correlation between the state-of-charge of the battery and the open-circuit voltage of the battery comprises drawing an amount of current sufficient to mitigate a difference between a charging-state correlation and a discharging-state correlation, the charging-state correlation being a correlation between the state-of-charge and the open-circuit voltage following charging of the battery, and the discharging-state correlation being a correlation between the state-of-charge and the open-circuit voltage following discharging of the battery. 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the correlation between the state-of-charge of the battery and the open-circuit voltage of the battery exhibits a dependence on whether the battery has most recently been receiving charge or providing charge, and wherein drawing the pre-conditioning current from the battery to affect the correlation between the state-of-charge of the battery and the open-circuit voltage of the battery results in a reduction of state-of-charge estimation error related to charge/discharge open circuit voltage hysteresis. 12. The method of claim 1 wherein determining the state-of-charge based on the open-circuit voltage of the battery comprises determining the state-of-charge based on the correlation between the state-of-charge of the battery and the open-circuit voltage of the battery. 13.
