A Study on the Open Circuit Voltage and State of Charge Characterization of High Capacity Lithium-Ion Battery Under Different Temperature

Abstract

Open circuit voltage (OCV) is an important characteristic parameter of lithium-ion batteries, which is used to analyze the changes of electronic energy in electrode materials, and to estimate battery state of charge (SOC) and manage the battery pack. Therefore, accurate OCV modeling is a great significance for lithium-ion battery management. In this paper, the characteristics of high-capacity lithium-ion batteries at different temperatures were considered, and the OCV-SOC characteristic curves at different temperatures were studied by modeling, exponential, polynomial, sum of sin functions, and Gaussian model fitting method with pulse test data. The parameters of fitting OCV-SOC curves by exponential model (n = 2), polynomial model (n = 3~7), sum of sin functions model (n = 3), and Gaussian model (n = 4) at temperatures of 45 °C, 25 °C, 0 °C, and −20°C are obtained, and the errors are analyzed. The experimental results show that the operating temperature of the battery influences the OCV-SOC characteristic significantly. Therefore, these factors need to be considered in order to increase the accuracy of the model and improve the accuracy of battery state estimation.

Prediction of Electric Vehicle Range: A Comprehensive Review of Current Issues and Challenges

“…The operating temperature of a battery (also related to the ambient temperature in which the EV is used) has a direct influence on another parameter considered as an operating factor for EVs: The SOH. When a battery pack deteriorates to a certain level, it is no longer efficient and economical to be used in EVs [49], that is why an accurate SOH estimation (a parameter that can reflect the aging level and health condition of the batteries) is essential to be also implemented for a safe and high-efficiency operation of EVs [50][51][52].…”

Research on parameter identification and state of charge estimation of improved equivalent circuit model of Li‐ion battery based on temperature effects for battery thermal management

“…Garcia‐Plaza et al 29 proposed that battery capacity strongly depends on the temperature. Zhang et al 30 focused on the study of the OCV‐SOC characteristics of high capacity batteries under the influence of different temperatures. The result shows that the OCV‐SOC characteristic curve is greatly influenced by the temperature change.…”
