Streamlining e-bus warranty discussions

The automotive sector’s transition to green mobility is challenging the bus operators across the world. That was the case of a major operator of electric buses in the Netherlands, who reached out to ViriCiti and TWAICE regarding our Battery Health Solution to integrate data-driven decision making focused on batteries, to avoid timely and costly warranty discussions.

The Power of Signalling

What is the potential impact of Battery Health Reports (BHR) on remarketing success of the battery electric vehicle (BEV)? Besides age and mileage, driver profile has a major impact on how long a battery lasts. In the absence of documentation of how a driver has treated the battery, residual value formation remains below its full potential.

Evaluation of transmission losses of various battery electric vehicles

Transmission losses in battery electric vehicles have compared to internal combustion engine powertrains a larger share in the total energy consumption and play therefore a major role. In this paper, three simulation models of the Institute of Automotive Engineering are presented.

Modeling capacity fade of li-ion batteries

Aging models are fundamental tools to optimize the application of lithium-ion batteries. In this work, we show that the CAP-method models capacity fade more accurately when applied to dynamic cyclic aging tests with periodically changing mean state-of-charge, depth-of-discharge, ambient temperature and discharge rates for a commercial NCA cell with a silicon-doped graphite anode.

Combining EIS and time-domain data

This work proposes a method to combine time-domain and frequency-domain measurement data for parameterization of RC elements by exploiting the full potential of the distribution of relaxation times (DRT).

Quantifiability of Cell-to-Cell Variations

Motivated by the question of why impedance variation is consistently reported to be higher than the variation of other parameters, we show that measuring inherent parameter variations caused by production tolerances is superimposed by effects of an imperfect measurement setup.

Impedance Research Paper

Continuous impedance monitoring provides significant insights into the aging status of a battery. However, the on-line determination of battery impedance parameter for its low-frequency part is a challenging task. This paper provides an algorithm for its determination, which features a novel approach to quantifying the impedance caused by diffusion processes at low frequencies.
