Lead-Acid Battery Aging and State of Health Diagnosis

Suozzo, Christopher

Abstract Details

2008, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The lead-acid battery has served as the standard electrical energy storage device in vehicles for nearly 100 years. In this time, its role has expanded well beyond its original duty of engine cranking to now include supplementing the alternator's power output during load transients to meet the needs of a growing vehicle electrical system. As more safety-critical systems previously operated by cable or hydraulics become electrified, it has become increasingly important to ascertain the battery's ability to provide power and energy. A fundamental understanding of the underlying chemical processes governing battery performance degradation and eventual failure can give rise to diagnostic techniques that may be used to determine the battery's state of health. The goal of this thesis is to propose new battery monitoring and state of health evaluation algorithms that may be run onboard a vehicle for the purpose of establishing battery electrical performance characteristics.
