Gilles Lancel

A method for diagnosing an electrochemical system, including: (a) collecting timestamped measurement data, (b) deducing for each instant: a reference state of charge of the system, a state of charge deviation of the first element having the highest voltage, a state of charge deviation of the second element having the lowest voltage, (c) grouping the data sets by ranges of values of the reference state of charge, and (d) assigning to each data pair composed of the identifier of the electrochemical element and the corresponding state of charge deviation: a diagnostic function among pre-established functions.

Anomaly identification in an electrochemical system

A method for determining an open circuit voltage of an electrochemical device, including: a. collecting measurement data of the device, the measurements i. including at least the current Iand the voltage Uat the terminals of the device, ii. being time-stamped, and iii. being acquired during an uninterrupted and operational functional period of the device; b. calculating, for a plurality of times t, iv. a corrected intensity by applying a correction function to the measured intensity I, and v. an instantaneous charge based on a time series of the corrected intensity so as to obtain, for each time t, a set of collected and calculated data; c. grouping the data sets into ranges of instantaneous charge values based on the charge value of each set; and d. separately for each group, calculating an open circuit voltage of the device.
