Computational modelling and simulation for the charge-discharge characteristics of Lithium-ion batteries have been carried out. The battery system consists of a simplified 2-dimensional single cell for the modelling, in which the thermal modelling on the charge-discharge characteristics was conducted in the temperature range from 288 K through 318 K by using FEMLAB as an engineering PDE solver. While material parameters adopted in the present modelling were dependent on the system temperature, their thermal modelling were applied on the simulations of the charge-discharge period and the rate of transferring charges systematically. The resulting simulation shows that the cycle of the charge-discharge shorten itself by reducing the system temperature, regardless of the charge-discharge rates. In addition, the mass-transport phenomena of Lithium ion have been discussed in connection with the charge-discharge characteristics in the battery.

The life and performance of lithium battery are greatly influenced by the formation process which is essential in the process of manufacture. Charge/discharge system for the lithium battery are required for the formation process. To simulate such a system in a conventional method takes very long time and requires huge memory space to save data files. So the simulation may be impossible with a general-purpose PC. In this paper, the lithium battery is modelled to a resistor-capacitor serial circuit and the lithium battery charge/discharge system is analyzed and simulated by using state space averaging method. As a result, the simulation time is reduced dramatically and the simulation of the lithium battery charge/discharge system becomes possible on a general-purpose PC within 3 hours. Also, both the charge/discharge characteristics and the time required to charge/discharge of the lithium battery charge/discharge system can be observed. To verify the propriety of resistor-capacitor serial circuit modeling method for lithium battery and the validity of the analysis and simulation based on state space averaging, the lithium battery charge/discharge system is composed and experimentations are carried out.

납축전지는 충/방전을 반복함에 따라 전지 내의 화학적인 반응에 의해 그 용량을 잃어버린다. 그러한 과정에서 전지의 용량과 수명을 정확히 평가할 수 있도록 전지를 모델링하는 것이 이 논문의 목적이다. 정적 모델링을 통해 골프카트용 납축전지의 충/방전 특성의 연구 내용을 기술하였다. 정적 모델링 기법은 구성이 비교적 간단하고 결과를 빠르게 예측할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이 모델링 기법을 통해 전지의 특성을 나타내는 변수들을 도출해내었다. 이러한 과정을 바탕으로 골프카트용 납축전지를 모델링한 후, 시뮬레이션 결과를 실험 데이터와 비교하여 모델링의 정확성을 판단하였다.

This study investigates a CFD modeling of the charge-discharge behavior due to heat generation during charge-discharge cycles of a Li-ion secondary battery(LIB). Present LIB system adopted a current-density equation, heat and mass transfer governing equations upon the 1-dimensional system to the thickness direction for the rectangular pouch configuration. According to the 3-kinds of the charge-discharge current densities of 1C($17.5A/m^2$), 3C($52.5A/m^2$) and 5C($87.5A/m^2$) subject to a 3 V of cut-off voltage, a constant-temperature system at 298 K and three different heat generating systems were analyzed with comparison. Battery capacity decreases with increment of charge-discharge densities not only at the constant-temperature system but also at the heat-generating system. The time for charge-discharge cycles increases at the heat-generating system compare to the constant-temperature system. These trends are considered that the increase of temperature due to heat generation causes the decrement of equilibrium potential of electrodes and the increment of diffusivity of Li ions. Furthermore, cooling effects were discussed in order to control the influence of heat generation due to charge-discharge behavior of a Li-ion secondary battery.

최근, 2차전지로서는 타 전지에 비하여 고 에너지 밀도와 고 전압의 특성을 갖고 있는 리튬2차전지가 가장 많이 활용되고 있으며, 이 특성 때문에 전기자동차, 우주왕복선, 분산전원의 한 형태인 전력 저장장치에까지 그 이용이 증대되고 있다. 시스템의 최적성능을 보장하기 위해서는 용도별 싸이클 수명성능을 고려한 충방전 설계 및 이를 위한 전기적 등가모델의 정확성이 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 상용 리튬이차전지의 실제 실험 데이터에 근거하여 충/방전 심도 함수를 도출하고, 리튬이차전지의 수명성능평가를 위한 충/방전 특성 모델을 제안하고, 이의 타당성을 입증하였다.

The modeling result of Voltage was compared with result of constant current charge / discharge test. From this, it can be seen that the NTGK model can be applied to the lead acid battery with high accuracy. It was also found that the aging of lead-acid battery can be predicted by using it.

For an optimal design of automotive electric system, it is important to have a reliable modeling tool to predict the charge-discharge behaviors of the automotive battery. In this work, a two-dimensional modeling was carried out to predict the charge-discharge behaviors of a 12-V automotive lead-acid battery. The model accounted for electrochemical kinetics and ionic mass transfer in a battery cell. In order to validate the modeling, modeling results were compared with the experimental data of the charge-discharge behaviors of a lead-acid battery. The discharge behaviors were measured with three different discharge rates of C/5, C/10, and C/20 at operating temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. The batteries were charged with constant current of 30A until the charging voltage reached to a predetermined value of 14.24 V and then the charging voltage was kept constant. The discharge and charge curves from the measurements and modeling were in good agreement. Based on the modeling, the distributions of the electrical potentials of the solid and solution phases, the porosity of the electrodes, and the current density within the electrodes as well as the acid concentration can be predicted as a function of charge and discharge time.

Recent in the world environmental issues and energy depletion problems have been received attention. One way to solve these problems is to use hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Therefore, the interest in HEV technology is higher than ever before. Viable candidates for the energy-storage systems in HEV applications may be absorbent glass mat (AGM) lead-acid, nickel-metal-hydride (Ni-MH) and rechargeable lithium batteries. The AGM battery has advantages in terms of relatively low cost, high charge efficiency, low self-discharge, low maintenance requirements and safety as compared to the other batteries. In order to implement HEV system in required more electric power commercial vehicles AGM batteries was connected to 2 series-2 parallels (2S2P). In this study, a one-dimensional modeling is carried-out to predict the behaviors of 2S2P AGM batteries system during charge and discharge. The model accounts for electrochemical reaction rates, charge conservation and mass transport. In order to validate the model, modeling results are compared with the experimentally measured data in various conditions.
