Abstract:
Embodiments describe a battery system that includes a first battery module coupled to a regenerative braking system and a control module that controls operation of the battery system by: determining a predicted driving pattern over a prediction horizon using a driving pattern recognition model based in part on a battery current and a previous driving pattern; determining a predicted battery resistance of the first battery module over the prediction horizon using a recursive battery model based in part on the predicted driving pattern, the battery current, a present bus voltage, and a previous bus voltage; determining a target trajectory of a battery temperature of the first battery module over a control horizon using an objective function; and controlling magnitude and duration of electrical power supplied from the regenerative such that a predicted trajectory of the battery temperature is guided toward the target trajectory of the battery temperature during the control horizon.

Claim (Index 1):
An automotive battery module, comprising:\n a housing; a first battery terminal and a second battery terminal coupled to the housing, wherein the first battery terminal and the second battery terminal are configured to enable the automotive battery module to be electrically coupled to an electrical system comprising an electrical generator; a first plurality of battery cells disposed within the housing and electrically coupled to the second battery terminal; a relay disposed within the housing and electrically coupled between the first plurality of battery cells and the first battery terminal; one or more sensors configured to, in operation, measure operational parameters of the automotive battery module; and a battery control unit communicatively coupled to the relay and the one or more sensors, wherein the battery control unit comprises processing circuitry configured to:\n determine temperature of the automotive battery module measured by the one or more sensors; \n determine a first temperature threshold; \n instruct the relay to switch to, maintain, or both a closed position to enable the automotive battery module to utilize a first amount of storage capacity to capture higher electrical power output from the electrical generator when the temperature of the automotive battery module is not greater than the first temperature threshold; and \n instruct the relay to switch to, maintain, or both the closed position to enable the automotive battery module to utilize a second amount of the storage capacity less than first amount to capture lower electrical power output from the electrical generator when the temperature of the automotive battery module is greater than the first temperature threshold.
