Theoretical Modelling of Cell and Battery Characteristics at Short Times/High Frequencies
Abstract
The design of batteries intended to delivery very high current pulses with rise time on the order of microseconds requires consideration of factors usually neglected in conventional battery design. In previous work we have shown that the short time/high frequency response of a physically large battery may be significantly limited by geometric and physical factors. In constructing theoretical models which can be used to evaluate design factors in pulse batteries it is therefore necessary to take into account the whole battery, the internal and external connections, and eventually the load itself. On the basis of a modelling study which takes some of these factors into consideration, this paper describes the design implications of geometric and physical variables such as electrodes and electrolyte resistivity, electrolyte thickness and cell length.
