The present invention relates to a system for predicting the distance covered in remaining energy of the battery. More particularly, the present invention provides a system for predicting the distance covered in remaining energy of the battery and the method of using thereof which involves the use of the instantaneous power being delivered per km and divide the total energy stored by this instantaneous power to calculate the total range.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
The energy stored in a Lithium-ion battery is difficult to estimate. The voltage of the battery decreases non-linearly with energy remaining, with the voltage profile having a plateau for a range. Hence, measuring the voltage does not give an accurate idea for the energy remaining. The battery cut off voltage is characterized by the weakest cell. The overall voltage of the battery is not indicative of the cut-off voltage as it may vary.
The voltage vs. time profile of a cell dynamically depends on the temperature and the current drawn from it. The instantaneous current causes an instantaneous drop in the voltage which then gradually rises back to its natural voltage. But in a quick environment like a battery in use, the voltage is often not allowed to go back to its natural level. The voltage vs. time profile of each cell is unique and therefore can be generalized only to a certain extent. As the number of discharge cycles increases, individual cells develop significantly different profiles. The cell capacity reduces with cycles. Essentially, the voltage profile changes with the cycles, and this change is also unique to each cell. Coulomb-count based methods are unreliable as the total coulomb count varies over each discharge cycle. The speed profile of the user heavily affects the power consumed per Km. Typically, the aerodynamic drag is high at high speeds, and the drivetrain loss is high at low speeds. Additionally, a high number of accelerations and decelerations contribute to higher energy losses. The load, i.e., the weight of the rider(s) is a contributing factor to the power consumed. Higher loads will require more energy for the same distance. The power being delivered by the battery is not constant throughout the discharge cycle.
Therefore, there is need of a solution which can estimate the remaining distance that can be covered by the rider on the remaining energy of the battery and the calculated range/distance remain constant as the time and cycles passes.
The present invention involves the use of the instantaneous power being delivered per km and divide the total energy stored by this instantaneous power to calculate the total range. The present invention provides a system wherein the range estimation can be adapted to fit the immediate conditions of the battery and vehicle and the estimated range will remain constant as time and cycles proceed.
