Abstract

Whereas the author’s charging and discharging mechanism for modularized battery systems and the associated mathematical trade-off models proposed earlier minimize the human efforts in unloading/loading/(re)charging discharged modules, they per se cannot fully realize the potential ergonomic advantage of modularized battery systems in that considerable time is still necessitated for recharging the unloaded, discharged modules. Such time can apparently be obviated if unloaded, discharged modules are traded and swapped for some already fully charged modules at some battery swapping and charging stations. Battery module trading must be supported by a method to estimate the modules’ different remnant energy storage capacities (hereinafter, capacities) so that such disparity can be financially offset by the trading parties. This article delineates such an estimation method, which comprises Process 1 to calculate an indicator of a module’s capacity and Process 2 to estimate the module’s capacity based on the indicator and some other parameters of the module.
