Title: Fail-safe designs for large capacity battery systems

Abstract

Fail-safe systems and design methodologies for large capacity battery systems are disclosed. The disclosed systems and methodologies serve to locate a faulty cell in a large capacity battery, such as a cell having an internal short circuit, determine whether the fault is evolving, and electrically isolate the faulty cell from the rest of the battery, preventing further electrical energy from feeding into the fault.

Battery models, systems, and methods using robust fail-safe iteration free approach for solving differential algebraic equations

Patent Sonawane, Dayaram; Pathak, Manan; Subramanian, Venkat; ...

Battery models using robust fail-safe iteration free approach for solving Differential Algebraic Equations, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a model of the rechargeable battery; determining one or more initial conditions for one or more algebraic variables of the model using a solver; holding differential variables of the model static by a switch function while determining the one or more initial conditions; applying the initial conditions to the model by the switch function; and determining one or more parameters for the rechargeable battery by solving the algebraic and differential equations.

Fail safe controllable output improved version of the Electromechanical battery

Patent Post, Richard F [Walnut Creek, CA]

Mechanical means are provided to control the voltages induced in the windings of a generator/motor. In one embodiment, a lever is used to withdraw or insert the entire stator windings from the cavity where the rotating field exists. In another embodiment, voltage control and/or switching off of the output is achievable with a variable-coupling generator/motor. A stator is made up of two concentric layers of windings, with a larger number of turns on the inner layer of windings than the outer layer of windings. The windings are to be connected in series electrically, that is, their voltages add vectorially. Themore » « less

Fail-Safe Design for Large Capacity Lithium-Ion Battery Systems

Journal Article Kim, Gi-Heon.; Smith, Kandler; Ireland, John; ... - Journal of Power Sources

A fault leading to a thermal runaway in a lithium-ion battery is believed to grow over time from a latent defect. Significant efforts have been made to detect lithium-ion battery safety faults to proactively facilitate actions minimizing subsequent losses. Scaling up a battery greatly changes the thermal and electrical signals of a system developing a defect and its consequent behaviors during fault evolution. In a large-capacity system such as a battery for an electric vehicle, detecting a fault signal and confining the fault locally in the system are extremely challenging.

Fail-safe reactivity compensation method for a nuclear reactor

Patent Nygaard, Erik T.; Angelo, Peter L.; Aase, Scott B.

The present invention relates generally to the field of compensation methods for nuclear reactors and, in particular to a method for fail-safe reactivity compensation in solution-type nuclear reactors. In one embodiment, the fail-safe reactivity compensation method of the present invention augments other control methods for a nuclear reactor. In still another embodiment, the fail-safe reactivity compensation method of the present invention permits one to control a nuclear reaction in a nuclear reactor through a method that does not rely on moving components into or out of a reactor core, nor does the method of the present invention rely on themore » « less
