DISTNP Model Cell Used for Generation of Synthetic Data Model uses two different particle sizes, realistic electrolyte properties, temperature dependent solid-phase diffusion and kinetics.
Generate Synthetic Data Testing should be done under Goal should be to emulate controlled temperature and ideally good physical testing. cell temperature will be uniform. Thin, pouch cell is ideal for characterizing electrochemical behavior. Cell can be clamped with aluminum plates and placed vertically in environmental chamber to provide well- defined boundary conditions for heat transfer between cell and chamber. 10
Generate Synthetic Data (cont.) http://www.uscar.org/guest/teams/11/U-S-DRIVE- Electrochemical-Energy-Storage-Tech-Team Hybrid Pulse Power Characterization (HPPC) Test provides convenient, standardized method to characterize impedance and voltage relaxation of battery of state of charge from 90 to 10%. 11
Analysis of Voltage Losses in HPPC Test Contact resistance, a purely ohmic loss, is major source of voltage loss. At 10 C the voltage loss due to electrolyte diffusion polarization and activation overpotential are much larger than at 30 C. At 30 the voltage loss is mainly due to contact resistance and electrolyte diffusion polarization. 12
