The Influence of Current Ripples on the Lifetime of Lithium-Ion
Abstract: In electric vehicles (EVs) and other applications, lithium-ion batteries experience variable load profiles with frequencies up to several kilohertz, as caused by power
Ripple current is an AC wave overlaid on DC flow in battery systems, generated by power electronics like inverters. This is crucial in battery testing as it affects performance and lifespan, especially in electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage
The comparative results indicated that current ripple signals such 3 Amps and 6 Amps peak to peak amplitude cause notable capacity loss when compared with pure quality DC current signal. The effect of AC current ripple signals on the degradation of lithium batteries has been correlated with an Internal Impedance growth under such duty cycle.
The existence of undesirable current ripple noise supplied by the converter systems might cause noticeable battery degradation, as shown in our comparison. Besides, when the amplitude is increased, the capacity loss substantially increases.
Ripple voltage and the resulting ripple current imposed on a battery DC bus could have an adverse effect on the battery and electronic equipment connected to the battery. Consequently, this ripple should be taken into consideration when maintaining, testing, and monitoring a battery. Ripple is not to be confused with noise. lead-acid batteries.”
