Novel Battery Testing Procedures and Analytical Methodologies for Hybrid Electric Vehicles
The Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory has developed novel testing procedures and analytical methodologies to assess the performance of batteries for use in hybrid electric vehicles. Tests include both characterization and cycle life and/or calendar life. Tests have been designed for both Power Assist and Dual Mode applications. Analytical procedures include a battery scaling methodology, the calculation of pulse resistance, pulse power, available energy, and differential capacitance, and the modeling of calendar and cycle life data. At periodic intervals during life testing, a series of Reference Performance Tests are executed to determine changes in the baseline performance of the batteries.
