First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for predicting a maximum power capacity of a battery, the method comprising the acts of:
- using a model of the battery, which is based on an electric equivalent circuit diagram, to predict the maximum power capacity of the battery, wherein;
the maximum power of the battery is prognosticated for a defined prognosis period and for different operating modes with respect to charging or discharging operation, the prognosticating for the defined prognosis period taking into consideration a maximum allowable operating voltage and a maximum allowable operating current,the operating modes comprise charging with voltage limitation, charging with current limitation, discharging with voltage limitation, and discharging with current limitation, andthe model comprises a current response that is an exponential function of time at a fixed voltage.

Abstract
A method determines and/or predicts a maximum power capacity of a battery by using a model of the battery based on an electric equivalent circuit diagram that predicts the maximum power capacity of the battery. The maximum power of the battery is prognosticated for a defined prognosis period and for the different operating modes with respect to the charging or discharging operation, considering the maximum allowable operating voltage and the maximum allowable operating current.
