Pseudo-random sequences for low-cost operando impedance measurements of Li-ion batteries

원문 초록

Operando impedance measurements are promising for monitoring batteries in the field. In this work, we present pseudo-random sequences for low-cost operando battery impedance measurements. The quadratic-residue ternary sequence and direct-synthesis ternary sequence exhibit specific properties related to eigenvectors of the discrete Fourier transform matrix that allow computationally efficient compensation for drifts and transients in operando impedance measurements. We describe the application of pseudo-random sequences and provide the data processing required to suppress drift and transients, validated on simulations. Finally, we perform experimental operando impedance measurements on a Li-ion battery cell during fast-charging, demonstrating the applicability of the proposed method. It's low-cost hardware requirements, fast measurements, and simple data-processing make the method practical for embedding in battery management systems.
