Abstract:
Microgrids and energy storage systems play a major role in the sustainable and clean
energy sector. There are various types of energy storage systems (ESS) are available
and among them, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are the most effective
technology due to their high reliability, availability of different scales, less
environmental impact, dynamic local voltage support, etc. Whereas it has been seen
that few drawbacks when it is in operation such as load dynamics caused by renewable
energy fluctuation, battery state of charge level variation, extreme heat buildup,
temperature effect for the battery performance and loading imbalance, single phase
generating systems, short term loading by electric vehicle charges. Therefore, to
investigate such kinds of issues, battery modeling is required. This study mainly
focused on battery modeling. For that, first, developed an accurate battery model based
on the electrical and thermal behavior of the battery. Battery parametrization is an
essential part of battery modeling to investigate the conditions of the battery under
different temperatures and charge/discharge rates.
In the proposed battery model, a second-order equivalent circuit model is used to
identify the electrical parameters. It is the most preferred model because it accounts
for the dynamics of charging or discharging currents than other available models. The
thermal model is also investigated in detail by using heat generation inside the battery
due to electrical loss and entropic heat. The three experiments performed on the battery
cells to identify the battery parameters are constant current-constant voltage charge,
constant current discharge, and pulse discharge. In each experiment, battery voltage,
battery current, state of charge, battery capacity, surface temperature, and core
temperature variations are analyzed and recorded while the ambient temperature is
kept constant using a thermal chamber. Finally, model parameters are validated with
the theoretical results. In addition to the above study, an accurate battery SOC level
estimation method is developed via deep learning architectures, and the battery core
temperature estimation model is developed by only using measurable parameters of
the battery. Those studies can improve the accuracy of the battery parametrization
procedure.
