This study aims to evaluate battery damage and heat transfer mechanisms through fire tests on lithium-ion batteries, and to explore ways to improve the efficiency and safety of battery management systems (BMS). Temperature changes in each sector are measured at points T1, T2, and T3 observing and recording the reactions of surrounding cells for 10 minutes after applying electricity to the ignition electrode. The results show that the batteries in sectors A and B fully ignite, causing severe physical damage, while the batteries in sector C do not ignite and sustain minimal damage. This confirms that the distance between sectors plays a crucial role in reducing ignition and heat propagation. The study suggests that considering the distance between sectors in the design of thermal management systems for lithium-ion batteries can significantly mitigate ignition and heat spread. Future experiments with various battery models and conditions will further propose the ways to enhance the efficiency and safety of BMS.

Because high power with large size cell is used for the battery pack of hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (HEV and EV), average temperature in a battery cell is the important criteria of the thermal management of the battery pack. Furthermore, fast charging technology is required to reduce battery charging time. Since battery pack performance and lifespan are deteriorated due to the heat of cells and electronic components caused by fast charging, an effective cooling system is required to reduce performance deterioration. In this study, a cooling system and module design applied to a pouch-type for fast charging battery cell are investigated, and the cooling performance that can maximize the efficiency of the battery was analyzed. The result shows that the vapor chamber cooling system has better cooling performance, the temperature drop in the module was 5.82 ℃ compared with aluminum cooling plates.

Increasing energy efficiency in factories is an activity aimed at optimizing resource allocation in manufacturing processes to establish production plans. However, this strategy may not apply effectively when night shifts are unavoidable. Additionally, continuous fluctuations in production requirements pose challenges for its implementation in the factory. Recently, with the rapid proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs), technology utilizing electric vehicle batteries as energy storage systems has gained attention. Technology using these batteries can be an alternative for factory energy management. In this paper, a factory energy management method using EV batteries is proposed. The proposed method is analyzed using PSCAD/EMTDC software, considering the state of charge of EV batteries and Time-of-Use (TOU) rates. The proposed method was compared with production scheduling established considering predicted power usage and TOU rates. As a result, production scheduling saved 4,152 KRW per day, while the proposed method saved 7,286 KRW in electricity costs. Through this paper, the possibility of utilizing EV batteries for factory energy management has been demonstrated.

EV(Electric Vehicle) 차량에서 BMS(Battery Management System) 은 모터에 공급되는 고전압 배터리의 충전상태를 감지하여 VCU(Vehicle Control Unit)에 전송하게 된다. VCU에서는 배터리의 충전상태를 확인하여 모터 구동 전략을 수립하여 각 제어기에 전송하게 된다. 위와 같이 EV에서 배터리 충전상태를 정확하게 감지하지 못한다면, 모터 구동을 위한 전략 수립에 많은 제약이 따르게 된다. 정확한 배터리 충전 상태를 감지하기 위해서는 배터리 각 셀의 전압/전류/온도 등을 측정하여 연산에 의해 결정된다. 그 중 셀 전압 측정 방식은 Photomos relay를 이용한 방식으로 하드웨어적인 오차에 ${\pm}$수십mV보다 더둑 더 정밀하게 측정할 수 있는 방법이 없었다. 하지만, 셀 전압 측정 정밀도를 향상시키기 위해 신규로 개발된 battery monitoring IC를 이용한 BMS의 H/W 개발에 대해 설명할 것이다. 또한, Monitoring IC를 이용한 BMS의 셀 전압 측정 정밀도를 얼마나 개선시킬 수 있는지에 대해 연구하였다.

친환경 이동수단 중 1인용 이동수단인 퍼스널 모빌리티에 대한 관심과 수요가 증대됨에 따라 과거 전기자전거에서 현재는 전동퀵보드, 전동스쿠터, 외발휠, 세그웨이류 등 그 종류와 외관적 형태는 매우 다양하다. 하지만 공통적인 부분은 전기에너지를 구동원으로 하고 있으며, 전기에너지를 저장하기 위한 수단으로 리튬이온 배터리가 사용된다는 것이다. 리튬이온배터리에서 배터리를 안전하고 효율적으로 사용하도록 제어하는 부분이 배터리관리시스템이며, 기능중에서 배터리 셀간을 정밀하게 균형을 잡아주며, 모든 셀이 완전 충전상태가 될 수 있도록 도와주는 셀 밸런싱 기능이 있다. 이러한 셀 밸런싱 기술은 주행거리 혹은 사용시간을 늘려주는 역할을 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 충전과 방전을 반복하는 다셀로 구성된 리튬이온배터리에서 셀 밸런싱이 수행되는 과정을 살펴보고 단일 밸런싱과 다중 밸런싱의 차이 및 장단점을 살펴보았다. 이를 통해 완속에서 급속충전으로의 변화, 빠른 셀 밸런싱 등의 필요성에 대해 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

최근 PDA, PMP, 핸드폰 등 휴대용 임베디드 기기의 사용이 증가되고 기능이 점점 다양해지며, 고성능을 추구하게 됨으로써 전력 소모 역시 증가하게 되었다. 휴대용 임베디드 기기는 대부분 배터리를 기반으로 동작하므로 에너지원이 제한적이어서 한정된 에너지원을 효율적으로 사용하는 전력관리 기법에 대한 연구가 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 시스템 사용시간의 연장을 위해 시스템의 성능 저하를 최소화하면서 소모되는 전력을 최소화하기 위한 여러 방법들이 제시되었으나, 기존의 방법들은 각각의 방전 패턴에 따라서 사용시간이 달라지는 배터리의 특성을 고려하지 않고 주로 시스템의 평균 전력 소비 감소만을 목적으로 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 배터리의 방전 특성을 고려하여 휴대용 임베디드 기기에서 배터리의 사용시간을 연장할 수 있도록 MicroC/OS-II 운영체제에서의 순간 최대전력 분산 기법을 제안한다.

As IMO environmental regulations are tightened, the need to establish a system that can reduce emissions is increasing, and for this purpose, various power control management systems have been studied and implemented as a new energy management system for ships. In this study, we design a control process through modeling for Bi-Directional Converter (BDC) application with bi-directional power flow to link batteries, which are energy storage devices, to conventional generator power systems, and propose mechanisms for batteries optimized for varying loads. This work models MATLAB/Simulink as a BDC and simulates current control and state of charge (SOC) optimization at the time of charging and discharging batteries according to load scenarios. Through this, the battery, power, and load were interlocked so that the generator operated on board could be operated in the optimal operation range, and power control management was performed to enable the generator to operate in the high fuel efficiency range.
