Abstract

A performance deterioration detecting apparatus configured to detect a performance deterioration start state of an energy storage device. The performance deterioration start state is an initial state of deterioration in performance of the energy storage device. The apparatus includes a performance deterioration determiner configured to determine that the energy storage device is in the performance deterioration start state based on a displacement of peak position in a capacity-voltage property of the energy storage device with time. The capacity-voltage property indicates a relation between a capacity variation amount (dQ/dV) and a voltage (V).

Claims (20)

1. A performance deterioration detecting apparatus configured to detect a performance deterioration start state of an energy storage device, wherein the performance deterioration start state is an initial state of deterioration in performance of the energy storage device, the apparatus comprising:

a performance deterioration determiner configured to determine that the energy storage device is in the performance deterioration start state based on a displacement of peak position in a capacity-voltage property of the energy storage device with time,

wherein the capacity-voltage property indicates a relation between a capacity variation amount (dQ/dV) and a voltage (V) of the energy storage device,

wherein the capacity variation amount (dQ/dV) is a degree of variation (dQ) of a current carrying capacity (Q) of the energy storage device relative to a variation (dV) of the voltage (V).

2. The performance deterioration detecting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the performance deterioration determiner determines that the energy storage device is in an initial state of sudden deterioration in chargeable or dischargeable capacity of the energy storage device.

3. The performance deterioration detecting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the performance deterioration determiner determines that the energy storage device is in an initial state of sudden deterioration in input-output performance indicated by an input-output property of the energy storage device.

4. An energy storage system comprising:

the energy storage device; and

the performance deterioration detecting apparatus according to claim 1 .

5. The energy storage system according to claim 4 , wherein the performance deterioration determiner determines that the energy storage device is in an initial state of sudden deterioration in chargeable or dischargeable capacity of the energy storage device.

6. The energy storage system according to claim 4 , wherein the performance deterioration determiner determines that the energy storage device is in an initial state of sudden deterioration in input-output performance indicated by an input-output property of the energy storage device.

7. The energy storage system according to claim 4 , wherein a maximum current flowing through the energy storage device is limited if the performance deterioration determiner determines that the energy storage device is in the performance deterioration start state.

8. The energy storage system according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a vehicle on which the energy storage device is mounted.

9. The energy storage system according to claim 8 , wherein the performance deterioration determiner determines that the energy storage device is in an initial state of sudden deterioration in input-output performance indicated by an input-output property of the energy storage device.

10. The energy storage system according to claim 4 , wherein the energy storage device comprises a lithium-ion secondary battery.

11. A performance deterioration detecting method of detecting a performance deterioration start state of an energy storage device, wherein the performance deterioration start state is an initial state of deterioration in performance of the energy storage device, the method comprising:

determining, by a performance deterioration determiner, that the energy storage device is in the performance deterioration start state based on a displacement of peak position in a capacity-voltage property of the energy storage device with time,

wherein the capacity-voltage property indicates a relation between a capacity variation amount (dQ/dV) and a voltage (V) of the energy storage device,

wherein the capacity variation amount (dQ/dV) is a degree of variation (dQ) of a current carrying capacity (Q) of the energy storage device relative to a variation (dV) of the voltage (V).
