This document describes Typhoon HIL's approach to modeling batteries and applying the models. It uses a generic set of equations to model the battery discharge curve based on 3 key points: fully charged voltage and capacity, end of exponential zone voltage and capacity, and end of nominal zone voltage and capacity. The model consists of a controlled voltage source and series resistance. Parameters for common battery types like lead-acid, lithium-ion, nickel-cadmium, and nickel-metal hydride are predefined, or a user can define custom parameters.

1 Generic battery model


Battery model is implemented in Typhoon emulator using a generic set of equations that
describes the behavior of the battery.

There are 3 points at the battery's discharge curve (Figure 1) that are used by the
equations:

1. Fully charged battery (Vfull, Q - rated capacity of the battery)


2. End of exponential zone (Vexp, Qexp)
3. End of nominal zone (Vnom, Qnom)

Figure 1: Specific points marked on battery discharge curve generated in typhoon schematic editor
(example: Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery, 1.2V, 6.5Ah)

In Figure 2 is presented a schematic diagram of battery model implemented in Typhoon


emulator. It consists of a controlled voltage source (E) and a series resistance (Rbat).
Controlled voltage source is controlled by a discharge state of the battery. Equation 1
defines battery voltage in function of the discharge state (it):

"it" in equation 1 is discharge state of the battery and it is defined as:

The rest of the constants that appear in equation 1 are:

where i is the rated discharge current.

Series resistance is calculated by assumption that the battery efficiency is 99.5%.

2 Defining battery parameters


All parameters for batteries are defined in the schematic editor. Parameters can be divided
into two groups: Basic Parameters and Advanced Parameters. Properties window for battery
is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Battery properties window

Basic Parameters:

1. Battery type: typhoon models 4 most common battery types: Lead-Acid, Lithium-ion,
Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-Metal-Hydride. Fifth option that can be chosen is user
defined.
2. Nominal voltage: as it says, it is the nominal voltage of the battery.
3. Capacity: is the rated capacity of battery.
4. Initial SOC: is the initial state of charge of the battery.

Advanced Parameters:

Advanced parameters are enabled if as a battery type an user defined option is chosen. This
allows the user to shape the battery discharge curve according to his needs.

1. Full charge voltage: percentage of the nominal voltage of battery when it is fully
charged, this number is always larger than 100%
2. Nominal discharge current is defined as a percentage of the rated capacity/1h.
3. Internal resistance
4. Capacity at nominal voltage: percentage of the rated capacity.
5. Capacity at exponential zone: percentage of the rated capacity.

2.1 Battery type dependent parameters


Depending on chosen battery type, nominal voltage and battery capacity, 3 points that
describes the battery discharge curve, also marked in Figure 1, are calculated as:

1. Lead-Acid:
Vfull = 0.108 * Vnom
Idischarge = 0.05 * Q
Qnom = 0.5 * Q
Vexp = 0.1025 * Vnom
Qexp = 0.009 * Q

2. Lithium-Ion:
Vfull = 0.116 * Vnom
Idischarge = 0.2 * Q
Qnom = 0.935 * Q
Vexp = 0.103 * Vnom
Qexp = 0.85 * Q

Idischarge = 0.20 * Q
Qnom = 0.95 * Q
Vexp = 0.103 * Vnom
Qexp = 0.4 * Q
