Battery management system and battery management method for prediction, selection and charging
The battery cellar includes a storage cabinet that stores a plurality of used batteries, a power converter (an AC/DC converter and a DC/DC converter) electrically connected between the plurality of used batteries stored in the storage cabinet and a power system, and a server that controls the power converter to charge or discharge the plurality of batteries in response to a demand response request from the power system. The server selects, from the plurality of used batteries, a first battery, the degradation degree of which has reached a reference value, and a second battery, the degradation degree of which does not reach the reference value but is predicted to reach the reference value within a predetermined period, as replacement target batteries.
1. A battery management system comprising:
a storage cabinet that stores a plurality of batteries;
a power converter electrically connected between the plurality of batteries stored in the storage cabinet and a power system; and
a server that controls the power converter to charge or discharge the plurality of batteries in response to a demand response request from the power system,
the server selecting, from the plurality of batteries, a first battery, the degradation degree of which has reached a reference value, and a second battery, the degradation degree of which does not reach the reference value but is predicted to reach the reference value within a predetermined period, as replacement target batteries,
and wherein the first battery includes a battery, the full charge capacity of which is smaller than a reference capacity,
when replacing the first battery, the server is configured to select, as the replacement target batteries, the second battery, the full charge capacity of which is greater than the reference capacity but is predicted to become smaller than the reference capacity within the predetermined period, in addition to the first battery.
2. The battery management system according to claim 1 , wherein
when the number of batteries, the full charge capacity of each is predicted to become smaller than the reference capacity within the predetermined period, is larger than a predetermined number, the server preferentially selects a battery having a smaller full charge capacity over a battery having a larger full charge capacity as the replacement target battery.
3. The battery management system according to claim 2 , wherein
when the number of batteries, the full charge capacity of each is predicted to become smaller than the reference capacity within the predetermined period, is larger than the predetermined number, the server selects the batteries in the ascending order of full charge capacity as the replacement target batteries.
4. A battery management method using a server, comprising:
charging or discharging, by the server, a plurality of batteries stored in a storage cabinet in response to a demand response request from a power system
selecting, by the server, from the plurality of batteries, a first battery, the degradation degree of which has reached a reference value, as a replacement target battery,
selecting the first battery includes selecting a second battery, the degradation degree of which does not reach the reference value but is predicted to reach the reference value within a predetermined period, as the replacement target battery; and
wherein the first battery includes a battery, the full charge capacity of which is smaller than a reference capacity,
when replacing the first battery, the server is configured to select, as the replacement target batteries, the second battery, the full charge capacity of which is greater than the reference capacity but is predicted to become smaller than the reference capacity within the predetermined period, in addition to the first battery.
