The performance and cost of electric vehicles (EVs) are much influenced by the performance and service life of the Li-ion battery system. In particular, the cell performance and reliability of Li-ion battery packs are highly dependent on their operating temperature. Therefore, a novel battery thermal management is crucial for Li-ion batteries owing to heat dissipation effects on their performance. Among various types of battery thermal management systems (BTMS'), the phase change material (PCM) based BTMS is considered to be a promising cooling system in terms of guaranteeing the performance and reliability of Li-ion batteries. This work is mainly concerned with the basic research on PCM based BTMS. In this paper, a basic experimental study on PCM based battery cooling system was performed. The main purpose of the present study is to present a comparison of two PCM-based cooling systems (n-Eicosane and n-Docosane) of the unit 18650 battery module. To this end, the simplified PCM-based Li-ion battery module with two 18650 batteries was designed and fabricated. The thermal behavior (such as temperature rise of the battery pack) with various discharge rates (c-rate) was mainly investigated and compared for two types of battery systems employing PCM-based cooling. It is considered that the results obtained from this study provide good fundamental data on screening the appropriate PCMs for future research on PCM based BTMS for EV applications.

Currently, increasing numbers of access points (AP) are being deployed in enterprise offices, campuses and municipal downtowns for flexible Internet connectivity, but most of these access points are idle or redundant most of the time, which causes significant energy waste. Therefore, with respect to power conservation, applying energy efficient strategies in WIFI networks is strongly advocated. One feasible method is dynamically managing network resources, particularly APs, by powering devices on or off. However, when an AP is powered on, the device is initialized through a long boot time, during which period clients cannot be associated with it; therefore, the network performance would be greatly impacted. In this paper, based on a global view of an entire WLAN, we propose an AP selection technology, known as Temporary Access Selection (TAS). The criterion of TAS is a fusion metric consisting of two evaluation indexes which are based on throughput and battery life, respectively. TAS is both service and clients' preference specific through balancing the data rate, battery life and packet size. TAS also works well independently in traditional WLANs in which no energy efficient strategy is deployed. Moreover, this paper demonstrates the feasibility and performance of TAS through experiments and simulations with Network Simulator version 3 (NS3).

Effects of alloying elements on the corrosion layer formation of Pb-grid/active materials interface has been researched for improvement of corrosion resistance of Pb-Ca alloy. For this research, various amounts of alloying elements such as Sn, Ag and Ba were added to the Pb-Ca alloys and investigated their corrosion behaviors. Batteries fabricated by using these alloys as cathode grids were subjected to life cycle test. Overcharge life cycle test was carried out at $75^{\circ}C$, 4.5 A, for 110 hrs. with KS standard (KSC 8504). And then, after keeping the battery with open circuit state for 48 hr, discharge was carried out at 300A for 30 sec. Corrosion morphology and interface between Pb-grid and active materials were investigated by using ICP, SEM, WDX, and LPM. Corrosion layer of Pb-Ca alloy got thicken with increasing Ca content. For Pb-Ca-Sn alloy, thickness of corrosion layer decreased as Sn and Ag content increased gradually. In case of Pb-Ca-Sn-Ba alloy, thickness of corrosion layer decreased up to 0.02 wt% Ba addition, whereas, it was not changed in case of above 0.02 wt% Ba addition.

ISG (Idle Stop & Go) 시스템이 적용되는 자동차에 적합한 납축전지를 개발하기 위해 전극재료인 3BS ($3PbO{\cdot}PbSO_4{\cdot}H_2O$)와 4BS ($4PbO{\cdot}PbSO_4$)의 생성조건과 활물질의 화성 방법에 따른 납축전지 초기 성능과 심방전에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구 하였다. 양극과 음극 활물질을 숙성반응 중 온도 제어로 최종 생성 활물질의 상이 변하며, 납축전지의 수명에 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 초기 성능에는 3BS 활물질을 적용한 AGM 납축전지와 Flooded 납축전지가 우수한 성능을 나타내는 반면 4BS 활물질을 적용한 AGM 납축전지는 상대적으로 낮은 성능을 나타내었다. 또한, 활물질 화성 효율을 비교분석하기 위해 화성을 3 step과 9 step으로 구분하여 시험한 결과, 3BS로 제작된 AGM 납축전지에 비해 4BS 활물질을 적용한 AGM 납축전지의 초기 성능이 우수 하였다. DOD17.5% 수명시험으로 수명성능을 비교한 결과, 잦은 심방전이 요구되는 ISG 시스템에서 Flooded 납축전지는 적합하지 않았으나, AGM 납축전지는 적합한 결과를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 AGM 납축전지가 ISG 시스템 적용 자동차에 적합하였고, AGM 납축전지의 숙성, 화성 방법에 따라 수명 성능이 80% 차이를 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다.

리튬전지는 생산과정에서의 핵심인 화성공정에 의해 수명 및 성능이 크게 좌우되며, 화성공정을 처리하기 위해서 충방전 시스템이 필수적으로 요구되고 있다. 리튬전지 충방전 시스템의 특성을 해석하기 위해 일반적인 방법으로 시뮬레이션하면 충전동작과 방전동작에 엄청난 시간이 소요되고 메모리 용량의 한계로 인해 범용 PC로는 시뮬레이션이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 리튬전지를 저항-커패시터 직렬회로로 모델링하였으며 상태공간평균의 개념을 적용하여 리튬전지 충방전 시스템을 해석하고 시뮬레이션하였다. Simplorer를 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과 시뮬레이션 시간이 단축되어 범용 PC로도 3시간 내에 시뮬레이션이 가능해졌으며, 리튬전지 충방전 시스템의 정전류/정전압 충전 특성 및 정전류 방전 특성과 충방전 소요시간을 예측할 수 있었다. 또한 충방전 시스템을 구성하고 실험하여 리튬전지를 저항-커패시터 직렬회로로 등가화한 모델링의 타당성과 상태공간평균의 개념을 사용하여 해석하고 시뮬레이션한 방법의 유용성을 입증하였다.

The battery's State of Health (SOH) is a critical parameter in the process of battery use, as it represents the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of the battery. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a widely used technique in observing the state of the battery. The measured impedance at certain frequencies can be used to evaluate the state of the battery, as it is intimately tied to the underlying chemical reactions. In this work, a low-cost portable EIS instrument is developed on the basis of the ARM Cortex-M4 Microcontroller Unit (MCU) for measuring the impedance spectrum of Li-ion battery packs. The MCU uses a built-in DAC module to generate the sinusoidal sweep perturbation signal. Moreover, it performs the dual-channel acquisition of voltage and current signals, calculates impedance using a Digital Lock-in Amplifier (DLA), and transmits the result to a PC. By using LabVIEW, an interface was developed with the real-time display of the EIS information. The developed instrument was suitable for measuring the impedance spectrum of the battery pack up to 1000 V. The measurement frequency range of the instrument was from 1 hz to 1 Khz. Then, to prove the performance of the developed system, the impedance of a Samsung SM3 battery pack and a Bexel pouch module were measured and compared with those obtained by the commercial instrument.

배터리는 최근 여러 분야에서 중요한 에너지원 역할을 하고 있는데, 사용 중 충방전을 거듭하면 용량이 점차 저하되며 초기 대비 80% 이하로 떨어지면 고장으로 간주되므로, 이를 예측하기 위한 수명 예측 기법이 활발히 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사용중인 배터리에 대해 충전곡선 기울기를 이용하여 배터리의 용량을 평가하고 이를 바탕으로 잔존수명을 예측하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 이 과정에서 발생하는 여러 불확실성을 고려하기 위해 베이지안 접근법에 기반한 파티클 필터 방법을 활용하였고 그 결과 잔존수명을 확률분포로 구하였다. 개발된 방법을 미국 NASA Ames 연구소와 본 연구실에서 직접 수행한 배터리 충방전 시험 데이터에 대해 각각 적용한 결과 충전곡선 기울기가 용량 열화를 잘 나타내며 파티클 필터로 예측된 잔존수명 신뢰구간은 실제 수명을 잘 포함함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Renewable energy sources has drawn considerable attention as clean energy sources because of changing public attitudes regarding greenhouse gas and fine dust. Recently, in this respect, the government provides the drivers of electric vehicles with various benefits such as tax reduction, financial incentives and free parking from the public to the private sector. Plug-in electric vehicles are the most common in the private sector. Otherwise, different types of battery-based buses in the public sector are being developed, and there are three main types of charging: plug-in, battery swapping and wireless. Therefore, economic assessment of charging types in each bus route is required in order to facilitate the use of battery-based buses instead of the existing CNG buses. In this paper, net present value(NPV) and B/C ratio of charging types are evaluated in consideration of the bus schedule, the cost of charging station, and the life cycle of battery, etc. per each bus route. In case study, main bus routes in Daegu City are simulated with the proposed evaluation method to validate the eco-bus project.

Secondary batteries with high performance are essential in widespread use of modern portable devices such as cellular phones and laptop computers. High energy density, long cycle life, and safety are some of important requirements for secondary battery. To achieve such characteristics, a mixing proportion of electrolyte solution ingredients in the battery should be carefully chosen. In this paper, using statistical design of mixture experiments (DOME), we attempt to find an optimum condition of designing the secondary battery. DOME has a distinct feature in that the experimental region is represented by simplex, rather than hypercube, because the sum of blend proportions should be unity. Several designs based upon this point have been proposed for mixture experiments. Among them, an extreme vertices design is employed in this paper because there are a couple of blend constraints to be considered. In order to investigate how the mixing proportion interacts with other manufacturing factors, a fractional factorial design is also included across the extreme vertices design. As a result, we find that the blend proportion of solution ingredients has a significant effect on battery performances. By simultaneously optimizing two battery capacities, this paper proposes an optimum blend proportion according to process factor settings.

Thermally activated batteries have good stability, reliability and long shelf life. Due to these characteristics and operational mechanism, thermal batteries are usually applied to military power sources. Especially, Li/$FeS_2$ thermal batteries, which are used mostly in these days, use LiCl-KCl and LiBr-LiCl-LiF as electrolytes. The electrochemistry of thermal batteries have been researched for long time, however, electrochemical study using impedance spectroscopy was not published so much. Through this research, microscopic electrochemical research was investigated with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(E.I.S). Electrolyte effects on Li/$FeS_2$ thermal battery was researched changing electrolytes, LiCl-KCl and LiBr-LiCl-LiF. Additionally, the salts, which are added to electrolytes, effects on thermal battery were researched. It is expected that the impedance spectroscopy analysis is applicable to not only thermal battery electrochemical study effectively, but also, thermal battery developments.
