In this paper, a fuel cell battery charger system, which is capable of bi-directional power transmission without built in battery, has been designed and fabricated. Performance and states of the notebook battery in bi-directional power transmission using the manufactured system have been tested. Before initializing the fuel cell charging system for 1 minute, the system received 10 W of electric power from notebook battery. Then the fuel cell charging system has been normal charging to notebook battery by 50 W. As a result of the experiment, the state of the notebook battery discharged less than 5% at the initial charging time, but then it has been charged. This results proves bi-directional power transmission in notebook computers increase the availability of fuel cell chargers.

Battery heat management is essential for high power and high energy battery system because it affects its performance, longevity, and safety. In this paper, we investigated the temperature of the 18650 Lithium Ion Battery Module used in a Energy Storage System (ESS) and the cooling method to minimize cell-to-cell temperature variation of battery module. For uniform temperature distribution within a battery module, the flow direction of the coolant in a battery module has been changed according to the time interval, and studied the effect of the cooling method on the temperature uniformity in a battery module which includes a number of battery cells. The experimental results show that bi-directional battery cooling method can effectively reduce the cell-to-cell temperature variation compared with the one-directional battery cooling. Furthermore, it is also found that bi-directional battery cooling can reduce the maximum temperature in a battery module.

현재 전세계 배터리 시장은 이차전지 개발에 박차를 가하고 있는 실정이지만, 실제로 소비되는 배터리 중 가격 대비 성능이 좋고 재충전을 통해 다시 재사용이 가능한 납축전지(이차전지)의 소비가 광범위하게 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 납축전지는 복합적 셀(cell)을 묶어 하나의 배터리를 구성하여 활용하는 배터리의 특성상 하나의 셀에서 열화가 발생하면 전체 배터리의 손상을 가져와 열화가 빨리 진행되는 문제가 존재한다. 이를 극복하기 위해 본 연구는 기계학습을 통한 배터리 상태 데이터를 학습하여 배터리 열화를 예측할 수 있는 모델을 개발하고자 한다. 이를 위해 실제 현장에서 배터리 상태를 지속적으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 센서를 골프장 카트에 부착하여 실시간으로 배터리 상태 데이터를 수집하고, 수집한 데이터를 이용하여 기계학습 기법을 적용한 분석을 통해 열화 전조 현상에 대한 예측 모델을 개발하였다. 총 16,883개의 샘플을 분석 데이터로 사용하였으며, 예측 모델을 만들기 위한 알고리즘으로 의사결정나무, 로지스틱, 베이지언, 배깅, 부스팅, RandomForest를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 의사결정나무를 기본 알고리즘으로 사용한 배깅 모델이 89.3923%이 가장 높은 적중률을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 날씨와 운전습관 등 배터리 열화에 영향을 줄 수 있는 추가적인 변수들을 고려하지 못했다는 한계점이 있으나, 이는 향후 연구에서 다루고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 배터리 열화 예측 모델은 배터리 열화의 전조현상을 사전에 예측함으로써 배터리 관리를 효율적으로 수행하고 이에 따른 비용을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In this paper a direct cell-to-cell charge balancing circuit which can transfer the charge from any cell to any cell in the battery string is introduced. In the proposed topology the energy in the high voltage cell is transferred to the low voltage cell through the simple operation of a dc-dc converter to get fast equalization. Furthermore, the charge equalization can be performed regardless of the battery module operation whether it is being charged, discharged or relaxed. The monitoring circuit composed of a DSP and a battery monitoring IC is designed to monitor the cell voltage and protect the battery. In order to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed topology, a prototype circuit was designed and applied to 12 Lithium-Ion battery module. It has been verified with the experiments that the charge equalization time of the proposed method was shortest compared with those of other methods.

This paper proposes the hybrid fuel cell system that can solve disadvantages of existing fuel cell system and ensure high reliability and high stability. The system consists of PEM fuel cell, Ni-MH battery and power management system. In this system, when the power provided from the fuel cell is higher than the load power, the extra energy may be used to charge the Ni-MH battery. When the fuel cell can not provide enough energy to the load, the shortage of energy will be supplied by the Ni-MH battery. Experimental results show that the output voltage is regulated well during load variations. Also, high system efficiency is achieved.

This study investigates the electrochemical characteristics of the hybrid cell that combined the advantageous characteristics of Li secondary battery and supercapacitor, high energy density and high power density, respectively. Electrochemical behaviors of the hybrid cell was characterized by charge/discharge, cycle and impedance tests. The hybrid cell using Li secondary battery and supercapacitor had better discharge capacity and cycle performance than that of using Li secondary battery only. Proper design of such a hybrid cell system is expected to result in substantial benefits to the well being of the Li secondary battery. The hybrid cell involving Li secondary battery for high energy density and supercapacitor for high power density may be the possible solution for future energy storage system.

This paper presents a new lithium ion unit-cell and pack battery by using a new formulation ratio of material. The three types of formulation ratio for the unit-cell were used. The life cycle and basic properties of the lithium ion unit-cell$({\Psi}18{\times}65(mm))$ about one of them were acquired by the charge-discharge experiment. The nominal voltage, nominal capacity and cycle life output of the lithium ion unit-cell is respectively 3.7V, 2.4Ah, and above 500cycle. Pack type lithium ion battery has the size of $29.5{\times}73.5{\times}115(mm)$ and the weight of 300g. As the results, the weight and bulk of lithium ion battery used to a safety lamp were decreased to 1/4 and 1/7. In addition, the comparison of the new lithium ion battery and lead storge battery for confirming the effectiveness of the new lithium ion battery have been performed.

Internal battery ohmic measurements have been a hot topic amongst battery users and battery manufacturers. As a battery deteriorates and loses its capacity, the internal resistance of the battery increases. Everyone seems to agree that measuring the internal parameters of a cell can be very useful in determining a battery's state of health. In this paper experiences show that if a cell's resistance increases by more than25% above its baseline value(known good resistance of new 100% capacity cell), the cell will no loger be able to deliver 80% or more of the rated capacity.
