Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method for ascertaining permissible operating parameters of a battery. For this purpose, operating parameters of the battery are measured, and further relevant operating parameters of the battery are determined from the measured operating parameters. Furthermore, at least one of the determined operating parameters is compared with a predefined comparison range. If the at least one operating parameter lies within the predefined comparison range, the permissible operating range of the at least one operating parameter is determined using a mathematical model of the battery. However, if the at least one battery parameter lies outside the predefined comparison range, the permissible operating range of the at least one operating parameter is determined using previously stored battery data.

Claims (16)

1. A method for ascertaining operating parameters of a battery, comprising:

measuring a plurality of measured operating parameters of the battery;

determining a plurality of determined operating parameters of the battery from the plurality of measured operating parameters;

comparing at least one determined operating parameter of the plurality of determined operating parameters with a predefined range for the at least one determined operating parameter;

determining a permissible operating range of the at least one determined operating parameter based on a mathematical battery model if the at least one determined operating parameter lies within the predefined range for the at least one determined operating parameter; and

determining the permissible operating range of the at least one determined operating parameter based on stored battery data if the at least one determined operating parameter is outside the predefined range for the at least one determined operating parameter.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the determination of the permissible operating range of the at least one determined operating parameter is repeated within a predefined time interval.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mathematical battery model is a linear mathematical battery model.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

comparing the permissible operating range of the at least one determined operating parameter with an operations request profile;

operating the battery according to the operations request profile if the at least one determined operating parameter of the operations request profile lies within the permissible operating range; and

operating the battery according to a limiting value of the permissible operating range if the at least one determined operating parameter of the operations request profile lies outside the permissible operating range.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the predefined range is determined on the basis of the plurality of measured operating parameters.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

reconciling between the stored battery data and the mathematical battery model.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of determined operating parameters includes at least one of a state of charge, a state of health, a state of function, an upper voltage limit, a lower voltage limit, an upper temperature limit, a lower temperature limit, an upper current limit, a lower current limit, a charging power, a discharging power, an available energy, and an energy configured to be extracted from the battery.
