Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H02J 7/00
US Classification:
320136
Abstract:
A battery controller with monitoring logic for a model-based battery control of a battery performs battery current characterizing, parameter and state variable abnormality detection, and bound checking of error signals between measured and predicted output variables to generate an output. Switching between closed-loop operation (i.e., the model-based battery control) and open-loop operation (i.e., a traditional battery control) is done based on the output of the monitoring logic such that closed-loop stability and performance are reasonably guaranteed.
Method And System For Charging A Vehicle High Voltage Battery
US Patent:
8525480, Sep 3, 2013
Filed:
Dec 28, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/979630
Inventors:
Richard Dyche Anderson - Plymouth MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H01M 10/44, H01M 10/46
US Classification:
320132
Abstract:
A method and a system for charging a battery in hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles are provided. An amount of energy consumption for charging a battery is calculated by taking the sum of a first amount of energy for charging a high voltage battery and a second amount of energy for use by a low voltage auxiliary system during charging. An optimal charge current for a charger is determined based on a charging option. The charging option provides a set of desired charging parameters for a charger controller. A state of charge of the battery is determined within a state of charge range. The charger controller provides a charge current to the battery. The charge current is the optimal charge current up to a maximum charge current for the state of charge range of the battery.
Method For Managing Power Limits For A Battery
US Patent:
8400112, Mar 19, 2013
Filed:
Nov 10, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/943429
Inventors:
Richard Dyche Anderson - Plymouth MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H02J 7/00
US Classification:
320134, 320132
Abstract:
A method for managing power limits for a battery includes the step of increasing a minimum operating state of charge after an initial power capability has decreased to the point where a predefined full discharge power is not available at an initial minimum operating state of charge. The increased minimum operating state of charge can be chosen such that the full discharge power is available. The increased minimum state of charge may not be chosen to provide the full discharge power if the increased minimum state of charge is greater than a maximum low limit state of charge.

Richard Dyche Anderson - Plymouth MI, US
Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
G06F 7/00
US Classification:
701 22
Abstract:
An electric vehicle includes a controller configured to estimate battery capacity in accordance with a first state of charge estimation, a charge integration, and a second state of charge estimation. The first and second state of charge estimations are in accordance with time and temperature constraints and are such that the estimated battery capacity has limited uncertainty. The controller is further configured to generate an output based on the estimated battery capacity.

International Classification:
G06F 17/10
US Classification:
703 2
Abstract:
A method for determining a power capability for a battery includes the step of defining at least one equation based on a circuit model for the behavior of the battery. The equation includes a plurality of battery parameters, including a battery current. The value of at least one of the battery parameters is measured, and the battery current is solved-for from the at least one equation. A limiting battery current is defined based at least in part on the battery current. A limiting battery voltage is determined, and the power capability of the battery is determined based on the limiting battery current and the limiting battery voltage.

Abstract:
A method of controlling an electric vehicle including an internal combustion engine, a battery having a state of charge (SOC) and an open circuit voltage (OCV), includes establishing a system for estimating battery SOC. The system includes (i) a parameter estimation subsystem including a recursive parameter estimator for identifying battery parameters and (ii) an OCV estimation subsystem including a nonlinear adaptive observer for estimating battery OCV. Estimated battery OCV is related to estimated battery SOC by a mapping. An output is generated based on the estimated battery SOC.
