Robust Plug-and-Play Expeditionary Battery System
Abstract
The program team will develop, build, test, and deliver two 3 kWh 1C-rate plug-and-play battery modules. Both battery modules will use integrated DC-DC converters providing cell-level control. One battery module will use NMC chemistry cells and employ electrochemical physics-based models and model-based control (MPC). One battery module will use LFP chemistry cells and equivalent circuit based models and MPC. The system will demonstrate the ability to seamlessly parallel two battery modules on the plug-and-play DC bus and utilize their capabilities without central control. Modules will be demonstrated with connection of each module to either a 24 V or 48 V DC bus, with load profiles equivalent to MEHPS-L power profiles 1 to 5 from RFP M67854-15-R-5007. Module controls will use the life/power objective map with capacity and power balancing. The two modules will be delivered with testing support to the ONR HESM testbed system integrator.
