How are RC parameters identified? ​

The RC Parameters tab displays the extracted Thevenin model parameters generated from HPPC characterization.

These parameters describe the battery's dynamic voltage response and are used for simulation and SOC estimation.

​

Purpose ​

The RC Parameters tab allows users to:

  • Review extracted ECM parameters.
  • Verify parameter trends.
  • Compare parameter variation with SOC.
  • Validate characterization results before simulation.

Parameter Selection ​

Results can be viewed for different operating conditions.

Temperature ​

Select the desired test temperature.

Examples:

  • 25 °C
  • 45 °C
  • 60 °C

Test Type ​

Select the characterization dataset.

Available options:

  • Charge
  • Discharge

The displayed parameter values update automatically when either selection changes.

Resistance Parameters ​

The Resistance Parameters table displays the extracted resistance values at different SOC levels.

Parameters include:

ParameterDescription
R0Ohmic resistance
R1First polarization resistance
R2Second polarization resistance

Values are displayed for SOC intervals between 0 % and 100 %.

Capacitance Parameters ​

The Capacitance Parameters table displays the extracted capacitance values.

Parameters include:

ParameterDescription
C1First polarization capacitance
C2Second polarization capacitance

These parameters define the transient behavior of the battery model.

Reviewing Parameter Quality ​

Users should verify that:

  • Parameters remain positive.
  • No unrealistic values exist.
  • Parameter variation is smooth across SOC.
  • Charge and discharge results are reasonable.

Minor parameter variations are expected due to battery dynamics and measurement noise.

Expected Outcome ​

After successful extraction:

  • SOC-dependent resistance parameters are generated.
  • SOC-dependent capacitance parameters are generated.
  • Parameter tables are available for lookup table generation and simulation.
