Description
|
|
The EquivCircuit.TTCexpoly component is an equivalent-circuit model of a generic battery. The open-circuit voltage depends on the state-of-charge (SoC) based on a polynomial with an exponential term. The transient response is modeled by a pair of SoC-dependent resistor-capacitor networks; see the following figure.
|
Degradation
|
|
The gradual decay, with use, of a cell's capacity and increase of its resistance is modeled by enabling the include degradation effects boolean parameter. Enabling this feature adds a state-of-health (soh) output to the model. This signal is 1 when the cell has no decay and 0 when is completely decayed.
The soh output is given by
where
|
is thickness of the solid-electrolyte interface (SEI),
|
|
is radius of the particles of active material in the SEI.
|
The decay of the capacity is
where
|
is the effective capacity, and
|
|
is the specified capacity equal to either the parameter or the input .
|
The additional series resistance added to a cell is
with a parameter of the model.
The following equations govern the increase in the thickness of the SEI layer ().

Thermal Effects
|
|
Select the thermal model of the battery from the heat model drop-down list. The available models are: isothermal, external port, and convection.
|
Isothermal
|
|
The isothermal model sets the cell temperature to a constant parameter, .
|
|
External Port
|
|
The external port model adds a thermal port to the battery model. The temperature of the heat port is the cell temperature. The parameters and become available and are used in the heat equation
where is the heat generated in each cell, including chemical reactions and ohmic resistive losses, is the heat flow out of each cell, and is the heat flow out of the external port.
|
|
Convection
|
|
The convection model assumes the heat dissipation from each cell is due to uniform convection from the surface to an ambient temperature. The parameters , , , , and become available, as does an output signal port that gives the cell temperature in Kelvin. The heat equation is the same as the heat equation for the external port, with given by

|
|
Capacity
|
|
The capacity of a cell can either be a fixed value, , or be controlled via an input signal, , if the use capacity input box is checked.
|
|
Resistance
|
|
The resistance of a cell can either be a fixed value, , or be controlled via an input signal, , if the use resistance input box is checked. This resistance is in addition to the resistance of the equivalent circuit.
|
|
State of Charge
|
|
A signal output, soc, gives the state-of-charge of the battery, with 0 being fully discharged and 1 being fully charged.
The parameter sets the minimum allowable state-of-charge; if the battery is discharged past this level, the simulation is either terminated and an error message is raised, or, if the allow overdischarge parameter is true, a warning is generated. A similar effect occurs if the battery is fully charged so that the state of charge reaches one; the simulation is terminated unless allow overcharge is true.
The parameter assigns the initial state-of charge of the battery.
