Abstract
A device for parameter estimation and thermal control of a battery assembly includes a thermal management module electrically connected to the battery assembly, the thermal management module including a circuit configured to generate an alternating current (AC) signal through the battery assembly. The device also includes a controller configured to estimate an internal temperature of the battery assembly based on a response of the circuit and the battery assembly to the AC signal, the AC signal including at least one pulse having a selected amplitude and a selected pulse width. The controller is configured to apply the AC signal to the battery assembly via the thermal management module, detect the response, calculate one or more response parameters based on the response, the one or more response parameters including a calculated resistance of the battery assembly, and estimate the internal temperature based on the calculated resistance.
