Improving the Accuracy of Battery Models Using the Open-Circuit-Voltage (OCV) Curve

The OCV is a key element in electric models of lithium-ion batteries and describes the thermodynamic voltage at equilibrium. It refers to the voltage of the battery when it is not connected to a load or a charging device.

Unfortunately, the change of this OCV curve over aging is often neglected in battery modeling, resulting in challenges regarding accuracy of battery models over battery lifetime.

In this article, we describe how considering OCV aging is vital when designing and manufacturing electric cars:

  • How the OCV curve can be used for estimating State of Charge
  • How the OCV curve can help manufacturers ensure the correct battery size
  • Integrating OCV aging into battery modeling

Speed Up Root Cause Analysis of BESS Issues

TWAICE Energy Storage Analytics is a data analytics software for BESS operations, helping asset managers and performance engineers improve the lifetime, health and safety of their assets. Its features and data visualizations make it easy to pinpoint issues and detect operational risks, but to truly get to the bottom of what is happening, performance engineers must be able to easily access and analyze time-series data. That’s why we built Data Explorer.
