Guidelines for the Characterization of the Internal Impedance of Lithium-Ion Batteries in PHM Algorithms

Abstract

This article aims to describe the most important aspects to consider when using the concept of internal impedance in algorithms that focus on characterizing the degradation of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. The first part of the article provides a literature review that will help the reader understand the concept of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and how Li-ion batteries can be represented through electrochemical or empirical models, in order to interpret the outcome of typical discharge and/or degradation tests on Li-ion batteries. The second part of the manuscript shows the obtained results of an accelerated degradation experiment performed under controlled conditions on a Li-ion cell. Results show that changes observed on the EIS test can be linked to battery degradation. This knowledge may be of great value when implementing algorithms aimed to predict the End-of-Life (EoL) of the battery in terms of temperature, voltage, and discharge current measurements. The purpose of this article is to introduce the reader to several types of Li-ion battery models, and show how the internal impedance of a Li-ion battery is a dynamic parameter that depends on different factors; and then, illustrate how the EIS can be used to obtain an equivalent circuit model and how the different electronic components vary with the use given to the battery.

Optimal Sizing and Siting of PV and Battery Based Space Microgrids Near the Moon’s Shackleton Crater

“…This severe temperature stress also reduces the lifetime of the PV cells. Several passive [36] and active [37] thermal control systems can be employed to keep the temperature FIGURE 2. Illumination time-series profile at Site #1 from July 6, 2023, to July 5, 2024.…”

Present and Future Generation of Secondary Batteries: A Review

“…Currently, LIBs use lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) dissolved in dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), or ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) electrolytes. In the past, EC was used in conjunction with graphite electrodes, for which it is known to form excellent solid electrolyte interphases (SEIs) [19]. Ionic liquids with poor SEI formation ability, such as propylene carbonate (PC), alkyl nitriles, and linear sulfones, have allowed to operate graphite anodes with SEI additives such as vinylene carbonate (VC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) [20].…”

Space Microgrids for Future Manned Lunar Bases: A Review

“…Passive thermal insulation generally consists of multiple layers of coatings and surface finishes, heat sinks and thermal insulations with low conducting materials like layered blankets and foams. Multilayer materials are excessively used to prevent the high thermal flux, reduction of the environmental temperatures, and temperature gradients [64]. Also, Active Thermal Control System (ATCS) can be employed to heat and cool as required to maintain the operating temperature range of different electrical systems as mentioned in [65].…”
