Abstract

Lithium batteries are widely used in mobile electronic devices due to their higher voltage and energy density, lighter weight and longer life cycle compared to other secondary batteries. In particular, high demand for lithium batteries is expected for electric cars. In case of lithium batteries used in electric cars, driving distance must be calculated accurately and discharging should not be done below the level of making it impossible to crank. Therefore, accurate information about state of charge (SOC) becomes an essential element for reliable driving. In this paper, a new method of estimating the SOC of lithium polymer batteries by using AC impedance is proposed. In the proposed method, parameters are extracted by fitting a curve of impedance measured at each frequency on the equivalent impedance model and extracted parameters are used to estimate SOC. Experiments were conducted on lithium polymer batteries with similar capacities made by different manufacturers to prove the validity of the proposed method.

리튬계열 전지는 다른 이차전지에 비해 평균전압 및 에너지 밀도가 높으며 가볍고 수명이 긴 장점으로 인해 휴대용 전자기기에 폭넓게 사용되고 있으며, 특히 전기 자동차용으로 높은 수요가 예측되고 있다. 전기 자동차용 리튬 전지의 경우 운행 가능 거리의 정확한 계산이 요구되며, 또한 크랭킹이 불가능한 상태로 방전이 되지 않아야 하므로 충전상태에 대한 정확한 정보는 신뢰성 있는 운전을 위한 필수적인 요소가 된다. 본 논문에서는 AC 임피던스를 이용하여 리튬 폴리머 전지의 충전상태(SOC: State of Charge)를 추정하는 새로운 방법에 관해 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 주파수 별로 측정된 임피던스를 등가 임피던스 모델에 커브 피팅하여 파라미터를 추출하고, 추출된 파라미터를 이용하여 충전상태를 추정하였다. 제안된 방법에 의해 추출된 파라미터를 통해 리튬전지의 SOC 추정이 가능함을 증명하였고, 다수의 제조사에서 제작된 비슷한 용량의 리튬 폴리머 전지를 대상으로 한 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 유용함을 검증하였다.
