Abstract:
The lithium polycarbon monoflouride (Li/CFx) battery has dynamic environmental conditions, such as the ambient temperature history. The current SOCI technology has a problem with flat discharge curves where state of charge (SOC) is a function of voltage (V). The intended usage of the SOCI is for monitoring military cells, with extension to any battery with flat discharge profile.;This dissertation provides a solution for monitoring this Li/CFx discharge behavior. This non-linear solution is achieved in the form of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm. This dissertation will take an in-depth look into the ANN algorithm and how it will be trained. Moreover, the trained ANN-based algorithm will be programmed into a MSP430 microcontroller and will improve non-linear discharge SOCI accuracy. This solution is estimated to be successful in giving us an approximate SOC within 2-3% margin of error.;Moreover, this dissertation provides a scientific contribution in the form of a correction to internal resistance equation (4-13), Li/CFx battery mathematical model, SOCI prototype, and cost analysis. The SOCI is composed of circuit, ANN algorithm, MSP430 microcontroller, and a five light-emitting diode (LED) output display. Its output display will function as a SOCI that shows five initiated LEDs that demonstrate a 100% fully charged Li/CFx battery. The SOCI will adjust the engaged LED display proportionally as battery discharges, and finally all LEDs will be disengaged to demonstrate the battery is discharged at 0%.
