1 Introduction

Lithium ion batteries by virtue of having high powerdensity and high open circuit voltage have evolved as thefrontrunner among energy storage systems Today they areused in virtually all electronic devices as well as in hybridelectric vehicles among other applications Modeling of suchbatteries provides a means to better understand the coupledphysical and chemical phenomena that occur within thebattery Simulation results can shed light on phenomena suchas thermal runaway transient response of the battery andeffect of external thermal conditions on the performanceSimulations can also lead to design of better thermal man-agement strategies

The literature is full of several well-established validatedmodels for the prediction of the performance lithium ionbatteries with a single electrode pair Some of these modelsaccount for the detailed electrochemistry and transportphenomena within the battery [1ndash12] while others do not[13 14] Similarly some models account for spatial non-uniformity of temperature within the battery [3 7 11] whileothers do not [1 2 4ndash6 8ndash10 12] To the best of the authorsrsquoknowledge the earliest model was developed by Newman

and coworkers [1] and later extensively used and improvedby White and coworkers [4ndash8] Although the governingequations proposed by Newman and coworkers are generalconservation equations of mass charge and energy andare applicable to any geometry until the late 1990s mostof the modeling effort focused on simple one-dimensional(1D) geometries in which variations along the electrodesare neglected and only variations across the electrodes andseparator are considered Although somewhat simplisticsuch models have found widespread use because they arestill able to capture the coupling of the electrochemistryand transport phenomena within the electrodes In the pastdecade or so with the advent of faster computers researchershave embarked upon multidimensional modeling of lithiumion batteries [3 15] In particular it has been brought tolight by Wang and coworkers [3] that to fully understand thethermal response of a battery it is necessary to account formultidimensional effects

within the active particles can keep up with the reactionsoccurring at the surface of the particle and therefore thediffusion resistance to Li ions within the active particles doesnot play a significant role in the performance of the battery Insuch scenarios the active particles can be treated as lumpedmasses and a simplistic subgrid scale model can be usedfor the solid phase concentration field Smith and Wang [2]pointed out that while such an approximation is adequatefor batteries used in electronic devices it is inadequate forbatteries used in hybrid electric vehicles because they oftenencounter much higher chargedischarge rates than 4C

With growing interest in using lithium ion batteries forhybrid electric vehicles control of these batteries has becomean important issue When the load (current drawn) on abattery changes suddenly as in an automotive drive cyclethe voltage does not respond instantaneously The delayin response is caused by the combination of a variety oftransport and electrochemical processes within the batteryIdeally a physics-based mathematical model of the typesdiscussed earlier is able to predict such delays in responseUnfortunately it is widely believed that such detailed physics-based models that resolve the battery both temporally andspatially are not efficient enough to be used for controlapplications Consequently so-called equivalent circuit mod-els of batteries that are used either in time or frequencydomain have found widespread development and use [16ndash19] particularly within the hybrid electric vehicle community[20ndash22] While these models are very efficient they providelittle or no insight into the fundamental processes that occurwithin the battery In recent years efforts have been made todevelop reduced-order models that include some of the keyphysicalchemical aspects while being more amenable to usefor control purposes [14 23]

In this paper it is demonstrated that it is possible tosimulate in real time (as warranted by control applications)the performance of a lithium ion battery for realistic hybridvehicle drive cycles with the inclusion of detailed transportphenomena and electrochemistry and full temporal andnormal-to-electrode spatial resolution

2 Mathematical Model

A typical lithium ion battery with a single pair of electrodesis comprised of three regions a negative electrode a positiveelectrode and a separator A one-dimensional schematicrepresentation is shown in Figure 1 The negative electrodeis a porous structure comprised of lithium carbide particlestightly packed together while the positive electrode is aporous structure comprised of lithium metal oxide particlestightly packed together The most commonly used metaloxides are LiMn

2O4 LiCoO

2 or LiFePO

4The two electrodes

are separated by a separator (or ionic conductor) that allowlithium ions to migrate across but prevents any electrontransport across it The entire cell is filled with an electrolytethat occupies any space not occupied by the active particles orthe binder and filler (not shown in Figure 1) The electrolyteis comprised of a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent

Under normal operating conditions the following reac-tions occur at the two electrodes (assuming a manganeseoxide positive electrode)

During the discharge process lithium ions that are generatedat the negative electrode migrate across the separator to thepositive electrode where they recombine with the electronsthat flow through the external circuit to form themetal oxideThe reverse occurs during the charging process

21 Macroscopic Model The macroscopic mathematicalmodel employed in this work is themodel proposed by Doyleet al [1] and subsequently used by numerous researchers[2ndash12] While material properties kinetic constants andother associated properties change depending on the exactchemical composition of the electrodes (aswill be pointed outlater) the model proposed by Doyle et al is general enoughto be applicable to any lithium ion battery since it is basedon basic conservation laws The governing equations areequations of conservation of mass (of lithium ions) chargeand energy Under the assumption of electroneutrality thecharge conservation equation reduces to a current conser-vation equation In general vector notations the governingequations are written as

In reality the active particles are bound together withinthe electrodes using filler and binder materials As a resulteven though they start as spherical nanoparticles once boundtogether they form a complex network better represented bysets of overlapping spheres of various diameters Doyle et al[1] proposed treating the active particles as nointeractingperfect spheres of constant radius In this work we adoptthe same assumption although with significantly largercomputational effort it is possible to treat more complexshapes as demonstrated by Kamarajugadda and Mazumderfor fuel cell electrodes [24] and by Wang and Sastry [15] forbattery electrodes Under the isolated sphere assumption andassuming that there is no variation of any quantity along thesurface of the sphere (polar and azimuthal uniformity) theconcentration of lithium ions within a single active particlecan be described by an unsteady diffusion equation writtenin spherical coordinates with only radial dependence

where 119862119904avg is the average solid-phase concentration of

Solution of (11) in its original form can be computa-tionally expensive This is because of two reasons Firstas discussed earlier its boundary condition is non-linearSecondly the equation has to be solved at each computationalnode (or cell) of the macroscopic model Thus if 100 nodesare used in the macroscopic battery model (11) has to besolved 100 times because for each cell the transfer currentwhich goes in as an input to the model via the surfaceboundary condition (12b) may be different Smith andWang[2] solve this equation using a finite-element method In thiswork (11) is solved using the finite-difference method withnominally 11 grid points

In order to compute the voltage characteristics of theentire chargedischarge cycle the calculations were per-formed for a net duration of 3800 seconds with a time stepof 1 second Within each time step it took approximately 50iterations to achieve convergence by 4 orders of magnitudeA typical convergence plot is shown in Figure 3

Figure 4 shows the comparison of the computed cellvoltage withmeasured voltage for the entire charge-dischargecycle with a chargedischarge rate of 1CThe computed resultsagree quite well with the experimental data except towardthe extreme end of the discharge cycle where the predictedvoltage drop occurs slightly later than the measured voltagedrop and at a much sharper rate This discrepancy could bedue to a number of factors including uncertainties inmaterialproperties and kinetic constants neglecting the formationand growth of the SEI film and thermal effects

Since the present model resolves the battery both tempo-rally and spatially it is instructive to carefully examine theevolution of some of the dependent variables Figure 5 showsspatiotemporal evolution of lithium ion concentration in theelectrolyte phase the electrolyte phase electric potential andthe overpotential It is seen that with time the lithium ionconcentration distribution becomes more lopsided while theelectric potential in the electrolyte phase is fairly uniformThis is because the ionic conductivity of the entire cell is quite

42 Demonstration for HEV Driving Cycle In order todemonstrate the model for real-time control applicationsa driving cycle typical of that of a hybrid electric vehicle(HEV) was simulated Current (load) pulses as large as 10Cand lasting over only 10 seconds was used The load cyclewas commenced with the battery at 100 state of chargeFigure 6 shows the computed voltage response of the batterysubjected to the prescribed pulse load The predicted voltageshows that the numerical algorithm is able to cope up withthe rapidly changing loadThe jumps in cell voltage when thecurrent is reversed (ie when the operation mode is changedfrom charge to discharge or vice versa) are caused by thedifferences in the output voltage for the same current duringcharge versus discharge as observed in Figure 4 The 900-second drive cycle simulation required about 12 seconds ofCPU time (which is almost the same as wall-clock time) on alaptop with a 23 GHz Intel Pentium processor out of whichabout 3 secondswere used for writing files for postprocessingThis implies that the execution time of the current modelis about 100 times faster than real time It is to be notedthat the aforestated performancewas recordedwhen the codewas written of Fortran90 When the same code was rewritten

the temperature distribution was found to be very uniformbecause the battery is only 111 120583m thick and the resultingconduction resistance across it is very small Therefore eventhough the heat generation within the battery as shownby (10) is not uniform a very small spatial variation oftemperature is observed within the battery because the heatspreads very quickly over a distance of 111120583m To trulyunderstand thermal effects multidimensional modeling iswarranted

5 Summary and Conclusions

Amodel for predicting the voltage characteristics of a lithiumion battery subjected to a prescribed load was developedThe model completely resolves both time and space acrossthe battery and is therefore capable of capturing any spatialnonuniformity of relevant quantities such as concentra-tions electric potentials and temperature within the batteryAlthough the model is validated and demonstrated herefor a Li

enough to be applicable to any lithium ion battery providedthat the material properties and kinetics are appropriatelycharacterized and known The model was validated againstexperimental measurements for the entire charge and dis-charge cycle of a Li

accurately predict the voltage characteristics It was thensuccessfully demonstrated for a load input typical of that ofan HEV automotive drive cycle

within the active particles can keep up with the reactionsoccurring at the surface of the particle and therefore thediffusion resistance to Li ions within the active particles doesnot play a significant role in the performance of the battery Insuch scenarios the active particles can be treated as lumpedmasses and a simplistic subgrid scale model can be usedfor the solid phase concentration field Smith and Wang [2]pointed out that while such an approximation is adequatefor batteries used in electronic devices it is inadequate forbatteries used in hybrid electric vehicles because they oftenencounter much higher chargedischarge rates than 4C

With growing interest in using lithium ion batteries forhybrid electric vehicles control of these batteries has becomean important issue When the load (current drawn) on abattery changes suddenly as in an automotive drive cyclethe voltage does not respond instantaneously The delayin response is caused by the combination of a variety oftransport and electrochemical processes within the batteryIdeally a physics-based mathematical model of the typesdiscussed earlier is able to predict such delays in responseUnfortunately it is widely believed that such detailed physics-based models that resolve the battery both temporally andspatially are not efficient enough to be used for controlapplications Consequently so-called equivalent circuit mod-els of batteries that are used either in time or frequencydomain have found widespread development and use [16ndash19] particularly within the hybrid electric vehicle community[20ndash22] While these models are very efficient they providelittle or no insight into the fundamental processes that occurwithin the battery In recent years efforts have been made todevelop reduced-order models that include some of the keyphysicalchemical aspects while being more amenable to usefor control purposes [14 23]

In this paper it is demonstrated that it is possible tosimulate in real time (as warranted by control applications)the performance of a lithium ion battery for realistic hybridvehicle drive cycles with the inclusion of detailed transportphenomena and electrochemistry and full temporal andnormal-to-electrode spatial resolution

2 Mathematical Model

A typical lithium ion battery with a single pair of electrodesis comprised of three regions a negative electrode a positiveelectrode and a separator A one-dimensional schematicrepresentation is shown in Figure 1 The negative electrodeis a porous structure comprised of lithium carbide particlestightly packed together while the positive electrode is aporous structure comprised of lithium metal oxide particlestightly packed together The most commonly used metaloxides are LiMn

2O4 LiCoO

2 or LiFePO

4The two electrodes

are separated by a separator (or ionic conductor) that allowlithium ions to migrate across but prevents any electrontransport across it The entire cell is filled with an electrolytethat occupies any space not occupied by the active particles orthe binder and filler (not shown in Figure 1) The electrolyteis comprised of a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent

Under normal operating conditions the following reac-tions occur at the two electrodes (assuming a manganeseoxide positive electrode)

During the discharge process lithium ions that are generatedat the negative electrode migrate across the separator to thepositive electrode where they recombine with the electronsthat flow through the external circuit to form themetal oxideThe reverse occurs during the charging process

21 Macroscopic Model The macroscopic mathematicalmodel employed in this work is themodel proposed by Doyleet al [1] and subsequently used by numerous researchers[2ndash12] While material properties kinetic constants andother associated properties change depending on the exactchemical composition of the electrodes (aswill be pointed outlater) the model proposed by Doyle et al is general enoughto be applicable to any lithium ion battery since it is basedon basic conservation laws The governing equations areequations of conservation of mass (of lithium ions) chargeand energy Under the assumption of electroneutrality thecharge conservation equation reduces to a current conser-vation equation In general vector notations the governingequations are written as

Due to electrochemical reactions at the surface of theactive particles electrons are transferred to the solid (orelectronic) phase while positively charged lithium ions aretransferred to the electrolyte phase This process is repre-sented by a current known as the transfer current and isdenoted here by 119895Li The transfer current depends on anumber of factors such as the lithium ion concentrationsboth in the solid and electrolyte phase the temperature andthe surface overpotential It is customary to express the rateof generation of this current using the Butler-Volmer kinetics

due to irreversible film formation at the solid-electrolyteinterface It is generally believed [4ndash6 9 10] that these filmsform in all batteries during the initial assembly process butgrow only if the battery is subjected either to extremely highrates of chargedischarge andor deep discharge Aging of thebattery is often attributed to growth of this film [10] at theanode which causes increase in the internal resistance ofthe battery In the present model although there is scope toinclude the effect of this film (as indicated by (7)) due to lackof understanding of the exact mechanism of film formationand growth this resistance is neglected in this preliminarywork

particles Since the active particles are much smaller than thecharacteristic dimensions of the electrodes (active particleshave a diameter of less than 1 120583m while the electrodes areseveral tens of 120583ms thick) they cannot be resolved by thesame computational mesh that is employed to solve themacroscopic model equations (1)ndash(10) The active particle isessentially at a length scalemuch smaller than the grid scale ofthe macroscopic model Therefore any equation (or model)used to describe the lithium ion concentration field withinthe active particles is at the so-called subgrid scale and ishenceforth referred to as the subgrid scale model

In reality the active particles are bound together withinthe electrodes using filler and binder materials As a resulteven though they start as spherical nanoparticles once boundtogether they form a complex network better represented bysets of overlapping spheres of various diameters Doyle et al[1] proposed treating the active particles as nointeractingperfect spheres of constant radius In this work we adoptthe same assumption although with significantly largercomputational effort it is possible to treat more complexshapes as demonstrated by Kamarajugadda and Mazumderfor fuel cell electrodes [24] and by Wang and Sastry [15] forbattery electrodes Under the isolated sphere assumption andassuming that there is no variation of any quantity along thesurface of the sphere (polar and azimuthal uniformity) theconcentration of lithium ions within a single active particlecan be described by an unsteady diffusion equation writtenin spherical coordinates with only radial dependence

Solution of (11) in its original form can be computa-tionally expensive This is because of two reasons Firstas discussed earlier its boundary condition is non-linearSecondly the equation has to be solved at each computationalnode (or cell) of the macroscopic model Thus if 100 nodesare used in the macroscopic battery model (11) has to besolved 100 times because for each cell the transfer currentwhich goes in as an input to the model via the surfaceboundary condition (12b) may be different Smith andWang[2] solve this equation using a finite-element method In thiswork (11) is solved using the finite-difference method withnominally 11 grid points

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery was simulated The battery

considered here has a nominal rating of 6Ah and achargedischarge rate of 1C was used Experimental data isavailable for the same set of conditions Other necessarygeometric parameters material properties and operatingconditions are summarized in Table 2 The data presentedin Table 2 are extracted from Smith and Wang [2] whoalso provide the experimental data used for the validationstudy The only data that were not directly extracted out ofSmith andWang [2] are the two kinetic constants The valuesreported in Table 2 for these constants were estimated toobtain an exchange current density of 36Am2 in the negativeelectrode and 26Am2 in the positive electrode as reportedby Smith and Wang [2]

In order to compute the voltage characteristics of theentire chargedischarge cycle the calculations were per-formed for a net duration of 3800 seconds with a time stepof 1 second Within each time step it took approximately 50iterations to achieve convergence by 4 orders of magnitudeA typical convergence plot is shown in Figure 3

Figure 4 shows the comparison of the computed cellvoltage withmeasured voltage for the entire charge-dischargecycle with a chargedischarge rate of 1CThe computed resultsagree quite well with the experimental data except towardthe extreme end of the discharge cycle where the predictedvoltage drop occurs slightly later than the measured voltagedrop and at a much sharper rate This discrepancy could bedue to a number of factors including uncertainties inmaterialproperties and kinetic constants neglecting the formationand growth of the SEI film and thermal effects

Since the present model resolves the battery both tempo-rally and spatially it is instructive to carefully examine theevolution of some of the dependent variables Figure 5 showsspatiotemporal evolution of lithium ion concentration in theelectrolyte phase the electrolyte phase electric potential andthe overpotential It is seen that with time the lithium ionconcentration distribution becomes more lopsided while theelectric potential in the electrolyte phase is fairly uniformThis is because the ionic conductivity of the entire cell is quite

42 Demonstration for HEV Driving Cycle In order todemonstrate the model for real-time control applicationsa driving cycle typical of that of a hybrid electric vehicle(HEV) was simulated Current (load) pulses as large as 10Cand lasting over only 10 seconds was used The load cyclewas commenced with the battery at 100 state of chargeFigure 6 shows the computed voltage response of the batterysubjected to the prescribed pulse load The predicted voltageshows that the numerical algorithm is able to cope up withthe rapidly changing loadThe jumps in cell voltage when thecurrent is reversed (ie when the operation mode is changedfrom charge to discharge or vice versa) are caused by thedifferences in the output voltage for the same current duringcharge versus discharge as observed in Figure 4 The 900-second drive cycle simulation required about 12 seconds ofCPU time (which is almost the same as wall-clock time) on alaptop with a 23 GHz Intel Pentium processor out of whichabout 3 secondswere used for writing files for postprocessingThis implies that the execution time of the current modelis about 100 times faster than real time It is to be notedthat the aforestated performancewas recordedwhen the codewas written of Fortran90 When the same code was rewritten

the temperature distribution was found to be very uniformbecause the battery is only 111 120583m thick and the resultingconduction resistance across it is very small Therefore eventhough the heat generation within the battery as shownby (10) is not uniform a very small spatial variation oftemperature is observed within the battery because the heatspreads very quickly over a distance of 111120583m To trulyunderstand thermal effects multidimensional modeling iswarranted

5 Summary and Conclusions

Amodel for predicting the voltage characteristics of a lithiumion battery subjected to a prescribed load was developedThe model completely resolves both time and space acrossthe battery and is therefore capable of capturing any spatialnonuniformity of relevant quantities such as concentra-tions electric potentials and temperature within the batteryAlthough the model is validated and demonstrated herefor a Li

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery in principle it is general

enough to be applicable to any lithium ion battery providedthat the material properties and kinetics are appropriatelycharacterized and known The model was validated againstexperimental measurements for the entire charge and dis-charge cycle of a Li

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery and was able to

accurately predict the voltage characteristics It was thensuccessfully demonstrated for a load input typical of that ofan HEV automotive drive cycle

Due to electrochemical reactions at the surface of theactive particles electrons are transferred to the solid (orelectronic) phase while positively charged lithium ions aretransferred to the electrolyte phase This process is repre-sented by a current known as the transfer current and isdenoted here by 119895Li The transfer current depends on anumber of factors such as the lithium ion concentrationsboth in the solid and electrolyte phase the temperature andthe surface overpotential It is customary to express the rateof generation of this current using the Butler-Volmer kinetics

due to irreversible film formation at the solid-electrolyteinterface It is generally believed [4ndash6 9 10] that these filmsform in all batteries during the initial assembly process butgrow only if the battery is subjected either to extremely highrates of chargedischarge andor deep discharge Aging of thebattery is often attributed to growth of this film [10] at theanode which causes increase in the internal resistance ofthe battery In the present model although there is scope toinclude the effect of this film (as indicated by (7)) due to lackof understanding of the exact mechanism of film formationand growth this resistance is neglected in this preliminarywork

particles Since the active particles are much smaller than thecharacteristic dimensions of the electrodes (active particleshave a diameter of less than 1 120583m while the electrodes areseveral tens of 120583ms thick) they cannot be resolved by thesame computational mesh that is employed to solve themacroscopic model equations (1)ndash(10) The active particle isessentially at a length scalemuch smaller than the grid scale ofthe macroscopic model Therefore any equation (or model)used to describe the lithium ion concentration field withinthe active particles is at the so-called subgrid scale and ishenceforth referred to as the subgrid scale model

In reality the active particles are bound together withinthe electrodes using filler and binder materials As a resulteven though they start as spherical nanoparticles once boundtogether they form a complex network better represented bysets of overlapping spheres of various diameters Doyle et al[1] proposed treating the active particles as nointeractingperfect spheres of constant radius In this work we adoptthe same assumption although with significantly largercomputational effort it is possible to treat more complexshapes as demonstrated by Kamarajugadda and Mazumderfor fuel cell electrodes [24] and by Wang and Sastry [15] forbattery electrodes Under the isolated sphere assumption andassuming that there is no variation of any quantity along thesurface of the sphere (polar and azimuthal uniformity) theconcentration of lithium ions within a single active particlecan be described by an unsteady diffusion equation writtenin spherical coordinates with only radial dependence

the solid phase concentration 119862119904 as indicated by (6) and (7)

where 119862119904avg is the average solid-phase concentration of

lithium ions within the active particle Unfortunately thelumpedmass approximation breaks down in situations wherethe load is large as demonstrated by Smith and Wang [2]Therefore for hybrid vehicle applications it is desirable tosolve (11) in its original form which is done in the presentwork

Solution of (11) in its original form can be computa-tionally expensive This is because of two reasons Firstas discussed earlier its boundary condition is non-linearSecondly the equation has to be solved at each computationalnode (or cell) of the macroscopic model Thus if 100 nodesare used in the macroscopic battery model (11) has to besolved 100 times because for each cell the transfer currentwhich goes in as an input to the model via the surfaceboundary condition (12b) may be different Smith andWang[2] solve this equation using a finite-element method In thiswork (11) is solved using the finite-difference method withnominally 11 grid points

method This method is chosen because it guarantees bothlocal and global conservation irrespective of mesh size whileother methods are inherently nonconservative Furthermoreit is amenable to handling discontinuities in material proper-ties because the method is basically an integral method Fortemporal discretization the backward Euler method is usedbecause it is unconditionally stable Since all of the governingPDEs have nonlinear source terms appropriate source termlinearization techniques were employed to improve diagonaldominance of the resulting discrete equations sets Eachgoverning PDE when discretized and linearized resultedin a set of tridiagonal equations that were solved using theThomas algorithm (TDMA solver) The PDEs were solvedsequentially Coupling between the PDEs was addressedby using an outer iteration loop over the five governingPDEs This iteration loop was also instrumental in address-ing nonlinearities in the system Within each time stepconvergence was deemed to have been achieved when theresiduals for each conservation equation decreased by at least4 orders of magnitude The residual of each PDE was definedas the l2norm (inner product) of the discretized equationswithout source term linearization The overall algorithm isdepicted in Figure 2 At each time step once the solutionreaches convergence the results are postprocessed to extractquantities of engineering interest One of these is the cellvoltage which is given by

where 119909 and 119910 are the stoichiometries in the negative andpositive electrodes respectively The open circuit potentialscomputed using (17) are in Volts For the external contactresistance 119877contact a value of 20Ω cm2 was used Althoughthe present model has the ability to predict the temperaturefield for the validation study a constant temperature of 288Kwas used

In order to compute the voltage characteristics of theentire chargedischarge cycle the calculations were per-formed for a net duration of 3800 seconds with a time stepof 1 second Within each time step it took approximately 50iterations to achieve convergence by 4 orders of magnitudeA typical convergence plot is shown in Figure 3

Figure 4 shows the comparison of the computed cellvoltage withmeasured voltage for the entire charge-dischargecycle with a chargedischarge rate of 1CThe computed resultsagree quite well with the experimental data except towardthe extreme end of the discharge cycle where the predictedvoltage drop occurs slightly later than the measured voltagedrop and at a much sharper rate This discrepancy could bedue to a number of factors including uncertainties inmaterialproperties and kinetic constants neglecting the formationand growth of the SEI film and thermal effects

Since the present model resolves the battery both tempo-rally and spatially it is instructive to carefully examine theevolution of some of the dependent variables Figure 5 showsspatiotemporal evolution of lithium ion concentration in theelectrolyte phase the electrolyte phase electric potential andthe overpotential It is seen that with time the lithium ionconcentration distribution becomes more lopsided while theelectric potential in the electrolyte phase is fairly uniformThis is because the ionic conductivity of the entire cell is quite

42 Demonstration for HEV Driving Cycle In order todemonstrate the model for real-time control applicationsa driving cycle typical of that of a hybrid electric vehicle(HEV) was simulated Current (load) pulses as large as 10Cand lasting over only 10 seconds was used The load cyclewas commenced with the battery at 100 state of chargeFigure 6 shows the computed voltage response of the batterysubjected to the prescribed pulse load The predicted voltageshows that the numerical algorithm is able to cope up withthe rapidly changing loadThe jumps in cell voltage when thecurrent is reversed (ie when the operation mode is changedfrom charge to discharge or vice versa) are caused by thedifferences in the output voltage for the same current duringcharge versus discharge as observed in Figure 4 The 900-second drive cycle simulation required about 12 seconds ofCPU time (which is almost the same as wall-clock time) on alaptop with a 23 GHz Intel Pentium processor out of whichabout 3 secondswere used for writing files for postprocessingThis implies that the execution time of the current modelis about 100 times faster than real time It is to be notedthat the aforestated performancewas recordedwhen the codewas written of Fortran90 When the same code was rewritten

the temperature distribution was found to be very uniformbecause the battery is only 111 120583m thick and the resultingconduction resistance across it is very small Therefore eventhough the heat generation within the battery as shownby (10) is not uniform a very small spatial variation oftemperature is observed within the battery because the heatspreads very quickly over a distance of 111120583m To trulyunderstand thermal effects multidimensional modeling iswarranted

5 Summary and Conclusions

Amodel for predicting the voltage characteristics of a lithiumion battery subjected to a prescribed load was developedThe model completely resolves both time and space acrossthe battery and is therefore capable of capturing any spatialnonuniformity of relevant quantities such as concentra-tions electric potentials and temperature within the batteryAlthough the model is validated and demonstrated herefor a Li

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery in principle it is general

enough to be applicable to any lithium ion battery providedthat the material properties and kinetics are appropriatelycharacterized and known The model was validated againstexperimental measurements for the entire charge and dis-charge cycle of a Li

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery and was able to

accurately predict the voltage characteristics It was thensuccessfully demonstrated for a load input typical of that ofan HEV automotive drive cycle

particles Since the active particles are much smaller than thecharacteristic dimensions of the electrodes (active particleshave a diameter of less than 1 120583m while the electrodes areseveral tens of 120583ms thick) they cannot be resolved by thesame computational mesh that is employed to solve themacroscopic model equations (1)ndash(10) The active particle isessentially at a length scalemuch smaller than the grid scale ofthe macroscopic model Therefore any equation (or model)used to describe the lithium ion concentration field withinthe active particles is at the so-called subgrid scale and ishenceforth referred to as the subgrid scale model

In reality the active particles are bound together withinthe electrodes using filler and binder materials As a resulteven though they start as spherical nanoparticles once boundtogether they form a complex network better represented bysets of overlapping spheres of various diameters Doyle et al[1] proposed treating the active particles as nointeractingperfect spheres of constant radius In this work we adoptthe same assumption although with significantly largercomputational effort it is possible to treat more complexshapes as demonstrated by Kamarajugadda and Mazumderfor fuel cell electrodes [24] and by Wang and Sastry [15] forbattery electrodes Under the isolated sphere assumption andassuming that there is no variation of any quantity along thesurface of the sphere (polar and azimuthal uniformity) theconcentration of lithium ions within a single active particlecan be described by an unsteady diffusion equation writtenin spherical coordinates with only radial dependence

where 119862119904avg is the average solid-phase concentration of

lithium ions within the active particle Unfortunately thelumpedmass approximation breaks down in situations wherethe load is large as demonstrated by Smith and Wang [2]Therefore for hybrid vehicle applications it is desirable tosolve (11) in its original form which is done in the presentwork

Solution of (11) in its original form can be computa-tionally expensive This is because of two reasons Firstas discussed earlier its boundary condition is non-linearSecondly the equation has to be solved at each computationalnode (or cell) of the macroscopic model Thus if 100 nodesare used in the macroscopic battery model (11) has to besolved 100 times because for each cell the transfer currentwhich goes in as an input to the model via the surfaceboundary condition (12b) may be different Smith andWang[2] solve this equation using a finite-element method In thiswork (11) is solved using the finite-difference method withnominally 11 grid points

method This method is chosen because it guarantees bothlocal and global conservation irrespective of mesh size whileother methods are inherently nonconservative Furthermoreit is amenable to handling discontinuities in material proper-ties because the method is basically an integral method Fortemporal discretization the backward Euler method is usedbecause it is unconditionally stable Since all of the governingPDEs have nonlinear source terms appropriate source termlinearization techniques were employed to improve diagonaldominance of the resulting discrete equations sets Eachgoverning PDE when discretized and linearized resultedin a set of tridiagonal equations that were solved using theThomas algorithm (TDMA solver) The PDEs were solvedsequentially Coupling between the PDEs was addressedby using an outer iteration loop over the five governingPDEs This iteration loop was also instrumental in address-ing nonlinearities in the system Within each time stepconvergence was deemed to have been achieved when theresiduals for each conservation equation decreased by at least4 orders of magnitude The residual of each PDE was definedas the l2norm (inner product) of the discretized equationswithout source term linearization The overall algorithm isdepicted in Figure 2 At each time step once the solutionreaches convergence the results are postprocessed to extractquantities of engineering interest One of these is the cellvoltage which is given by

where 119909 and 119910 are the stoichiometries in the negative andpositive electrodes respectively The open circuit potentialscomputed using (17) are in Volts For the external contactresistance 119877contact a value of 20Ω cm2 was used Althoughthe present model has the ability to predict the temperaturefield for the validation study a constant temperature of 288Kwas used

In order to compute the voltage characteristics of theentire chargedischarge cycle the calculations were per-formed for a net duration of 3800 seconds with a time stepof 1 second Within each time step it took approximately 50iterations to achieve convergence by 4 orders of magnitudeA typical convergence plot is shown in Figure 3

Figure 4 shows the comparison of the computed cellvoltage withmeasured voltage for the entire charge-dischargecycle with a chargedischarge rate of 1CThe computed resultsagree quite well with the experimental data except towardthe extreme end of the discharge cycle where the predictedvoltage drop occurs slightly later than the measured voltagedrop and at a much sharper rate This discrepancy could bedue to a number of factors including uncertainties inmaterialproperties and kinetic constants neglecting the formationand growth of the SEI film and thermal effects

Since the present model resolves the battery both tempo-rally and spatially it is instructive to carefully examine theevolution of some of the dependent variables Figure 5 showsspatiotemporal evolution of lithium ion concentration in theelectrolyte phase the electrolyte phase electric potential andthe overpotential It is seen that with time the lithium ionconcentration distribution becomes more lopsided while theelectric potential in the electrolyte phase is fairly uniformThis is because the ionic conductivity of the entire cell is quite

42 Demonstration for HEV Driving Cycle In order todemonstrate the model for real-time control applicationsa driving cycle typical of that of a hybrid electric vehicle(HEV) was simulated Current (load) pulses as large as 10Cand lasting over only 10 seconds was used The load cyclewas commenced with the battery at 100 state of chargeFigure 6 shows the computed voltage response of the batterysubjected to the prescribed pulse load The predicted voltageshows that the numerical algorithm is able to cope up withthe rapidly changing loadThe jumps in cell voltage when thecurrent is reversed (ie when the operation mode is changedfrom charge to discharge or vice versa) are caused by thedifferences in the output voltage for the same current duringcharge versus discharge as observed in Figure 4 The 900-second drive cycle simulation required about 12 seconds ofCPU time (which is almost the same as wall-clock time) on alaptop with a 23 GHz Intel Pentium processor out of whichabout 3 secondswere used for writing files for postprocessingThis implies that the execution time of the current modelis about 100 times faster than real time It is to be notedthat the aforestated performancewas recordedwhen the codewas written of Fortran90 When the same code was rewritten

the temperature distribution was found to be very uniformbecause the battery is only 111 120583m thick and the resultingconduction resistance across it is very small Therefore eventhough the heat generation within the battery as shownby (10) is not uniform a very small spatial variation oftemperature is observed within the battery because the heatspreads very quickly over a distance of 111120583m To trulyunderstand thermal effects multidimensional modeling iswarranted

5 Summary and Conclusions

Amodel for predicting the voltage characteristics of a lithiumion battery subjected to a prescribed load was developedThe model completely resolves both time and space acrossthe battery and is therefore capable of capturing any spatialnonuniformity of relevant quantities such as concentra-tions electric potentials and temperature within the batteryAlthough the model is validated and demonstrated herefor a Li

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery in principle it is general

enough to be applicable to any lithium ion battery providedthat the material properties and kinetics are appropriatelycharacterized and known The model was validated againstexperimental measurements for the entire charge and dis-charge cycle of a Li

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery and was able to

accurately predict the voltage characteristics It was thensuccessfully demonstrated for a load input typical of that ofan HEV automotive drive cycle

Figure 2 Algorithm employed for solution of the governing equations

method This method is chosen because it guarantees bothlocal and global conservation irrespective of mesh size whileother methods are inherently nonconservative Furthermoreit is amenable to handling discontinuities in material proper-ties because the method is basically an integral method Fortemporal discretization the backward Euler method is usedbecause it is unconditionally stable Since all of the governingPDEs have nonlinear source terms appropriate source termlinearization techniques were employed to improve diagonaldominance of the resulting discrete equations sets Eachgoverning PDE when discretized and linearized resultedin a set of tridiagonal equations that were solved using theThomas algorithm (TDMA solver) The PDEs were solvedsequentially Coupling between the PDEs was addressedby using an outer iteration loop over the five governingPDEs This iteration loop was also instrumental in address-ing nonlinearities in the system Within each time stepconvergence was deemed to have been achieved when theresiduals for each conservation equation decreased by at least4 orders of magnitude The residual of each PDE was definedas the l2norm (inner product) of the discretized equationswithout source term linearization The overall algorithm isdepicted in Figure 2 At each time step once the solutionreaches convergence the results are postprocessed to extractquantities of engineering interest One of these is the cellvoltage which is given by

considered here has a nominal rating of 6Ah and achargedischarge rate of 1C was used Experimental data isavailable for the same set of conditions Other necessarygeometric parameters material properties and operatingconditions are summarized in Table 2 The data presentedin Table 2 are extracted from Smith and Wang [2] whoalso provide the experimental data used for the validationstudy The only data that were not directly extracted out ofSmith andWang [2] are the two kinetic constants The valuesreported in Table 2 for these constants were estimated toobtain an exchange current density of 36Am2 in the negativeelectrode and 26Am2 in the positive electrode as reportedby Smith and Wang [2]

In addition to the data summarized in Table 2 Smithand Wang [2] also provided curve-fits to experimental mea-surements for the ionic conductivity and the open circuitpotential The free stream ionic conductivity (electrical con-ductivity of the electrolyte phase due to drift of ions) in Smis given by [2]

the temperature distribution was found to be very uniformbecause the battery is only 111 120583m thick and the resultingconduction resistance across it is very small Therefore eventhough the heat generation within the battery as shownby (10) is not uniform a very small spatial variation oftemperature is observed within the battery because the heatspreads very quickly over a distance of 111120583m To trulyunderstand thermal effects multidimensional modeling iswarranted

5 Summary and Conclusions

Amodel for predicting the voltage characteristics of a lithiumion battery subjected to a prescribed load was developedThe model completely resolves both time and space acrossthe battery and is therefore capable of capturing any spatialnonuniformity of relevant quantities such as concentra-tions electric potentials and temperature within the batteryAlthough the model is validated and demonstrated herefor a Li

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery in principle it is general

enough to be applicable to any lithium ion battery providedthat the material properties and kinetics are appropriatelycharacterized and known The model was validated againstexperimental measurements for the entire charge and dis-charge cycle of a Li

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery and was able to

accurately predict the voltage characteristics It was thensuccessfully demonstrated for a load input typical of that ofan HEV automotive drive cycle

The computational efficiency of the model was notewor-thy A 900-second drive cycle was computed in less than 12

the temperature distribution was found to be very uniformbecause the battery is only 111 120583m thick and the resultingconduction resistance across it is very small Therefore eventhough the heat generation within the battery as shownby (10) is not uniform a very small spatial variation oftemperature is observed within the battery because the heatspreads very quickly over a distance of 111120583m To trulyunderstand thermal effects multidimensional modeling iswarranted

5 Summary and Conclusions

Amodel for predicting the voltage characteristics of a lithiumion battery subjected to a prescribed load was developedThe model completely resolves both time and space acrossthe battery and is therefore capable of capturing any spatialnonuniformity of relevant quantities such as concentra-tions electric potentials and temperature within the batteryAlthough the model is validated and demonstrated herefor a Li

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery in principle it is general

enough to be applicable to any lithium ion battery providedthat the material properties and kinetics are appropriatelycharacterized and known The model was validated againstexperimental measurements for the entire charge and dis-charge cycle of a Li

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery and was able to

accurately predict the voltage characteristics It was thensuccessfully demonstrated for a load input typical of that ofan HEV automotive drive cycle

42 Demonstration for HEV Driving Cycle In order todemonstrate the model for real-time control applicationsa driving cycle typical of that of a hybrid electric vehicle(HEV) was simulated Current (load) pulses as large as 10Cand lasting over only 10 seconds was used The load cyclewas commenced with the battery at 100 state of chargeFigure 6 shows the computed voltage response of the batterysubjected to the prescribed pulse load The predicted voltageshows that the numerical algorithm is able to cope up withthe rapidly changing loadThe jumps in cell voltage when thecurrent is reversed (ie when the operation mode is changedfrom charge to discharge or vice versa) are caused by thedifferences in the output voltage for the same current duringcharge versus discharge as observed in Figure 4 The 900-second drive cycle simulation required about 12 seconds ofCPU time (which is almost the same as wall-clock time) on alaptop with a 23 GHz Intel Pentium processor out of whichabout 3 secondswere used for writing files for postprocessingThis implies that the execution time of the current modelis about 100 times faster than real time It is to be notedthat the aforestated performancewas recordedwhen the codewas written of Fortran90 When the same code was rewritten

Figure 6 Computed voltage response of a 6 Ah battery subjected toan arbitrary load (current) over a 15-minute period The prescribedload (current) is shown by the dotted red line while the predictedvoltage is shown by the solid green line Positive current denotesdischarge

the temperature distribution was found to be very uniformbecause the battery is only 111 120583m thick and the resultingconduction resistance across it is very small Therefore eventhough the heat generation within the battery as shownby (10) is not uniform a very small spatial variation oftemperature is observed within the battery because the heatspreads very quickly over a distance of 111120583m To trulyunderstand thermal effects multidimensional modeling iswarranted

5 Summary and Conclusions

Amodel for predicting the voltage characteristics of a lithiumion battery subjected to a prescribed load was developedThe model completely resolves both time and space acrossthe battery and is therefore capable of capturing any spatialnonuniformity of relevant quantities such as concentra-tions electric potentials and temperature within the batteryAlthough the model is validated and demonstrated herefor a Li

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery in principle it is general

enough to be applicable to any lithium ion battery providedthat the material properties and kinetics are appropriatelycharacterized and known The model was validated againstexperimental measurements for the entire charge and dis-charge cycle of a Li

119909C6-Li119910Mn2O4battery and was able to

accurately predict the voltage characteristics It was thensuccessfully demonstrated for a load input typical of that ofan HEV automotive drive cycle

The computational efficiency of the model was notewor-thy A 900-second drive cycle was computed in less than 12
