## Abstract

This article introduces key concepts in Electrochemical-based Control (ECC) systems for batteries, and highlights the fundamentals of battery electrochemistry, state-of-charge/state-of-health (SOC/SOH) estimation, and constrained control. Research on battery SOC/SOH estimation has experienced considerable growth, and can be categorized under equivalent circuit models (ECM) or EChem model-based algorithms. EChem models capture the spatiotemporal dynamics of lithium-ion concentration, electric potential, and intercalation kinetics. The most fundamental reduced EChem model is the single-particle model (SPM). The SPM idealizes each electrode as a single aggregate spherical particle. Advanced control systems that optimize battery performance and longevity are a key enabler for reducing costs and catalyzing deeper penetration into transportation fleets and electric power grids. The dynamic systems and control community are uniquely positioned to play a significant role, as batteries provide a rich opportunity for advancements in fundamental control science and emerging energy application areas.

## Article

Batteries are everywhere: in our smart phones, laptops, electric vehicles (EVs), and electric grids. Energy storage is a critical enabling technology for enhancing energy sustainability. Although battery materials science has seen rapid advances, the systems are underutilized and conservatively designed. Consumers purchase batteries with 20-50% excess energy capacity, leading to added weight, volume, and upfront cost. Intelligent battery control can lead to faster charge times, increased energy and power capacity, as well as a longer life. The key to realizing such advanced battery management systems is electrochemistry and controls—a fusion of modern control theory and electrochemical models that allows batteries to operate safely at their physical limits. This article introduces key concepts in ElectroChemical-based Control (ECC) systems for batteries, and highlights the fundamentals of battery electrochemistry, state-of-charge/state-of-health estimation, and constrained control.

## Battery Fundamentals

###### Jumping Frog Legs: A Brief History of the First Battery

Italian physicist Alessandro Volta invented the first battery cell in 1800. The so-called voltaic pile consisted of two metals in series, zinc and copper, coupled by a sulphuric acid electrolyte. Volta's inspiration came from experiments performed by his colleague Luigi Galvani who was interested in the interaction between electricity and biological nervous systems. During his experiments, Galvani discovered that a dead frog's legs would kick to life when in contact with two dissimilar metals. Volta reasoned that the different metals caused this behavior, and demonstrated this to be true with his voltaic pile.

###### Principles of Operation

A battery, put simply, converts between chemical and electrical energy through oxidation-reduction reactions. As shown by the zinc-copper Galvanic cell in Figure 1, it consists of two dissimilar metals (electrodes) immersed in an electrolyte. The cathode and anode materials are selected to have a large electrochemical potential between each other. This provides the desired electrochemical energy storage property. The electrodes are electrically isolated from each other via a separator. Hence, electrons are forced through an external circuit, powering a connected device, while cations flow between the electrodes within the electrolyte.

Figure 1 Zinc-copper Galvanic cell demonstrating the principles of operation for an electrochemical cell.

Electrode and electrolyte materials are selected for their voltage, charge capacity, weight, cost, manufacturability, etc. For example, lithium-ion cells are attractive in mobile applications because lithium is the lightest (6.94 g/mol) and most electropositive (-3.01V vs. standard hydrogen electrode) metal in the periodic table. Lead acid cells feature heavier electrodes (Pb and PbO2), yet provide high surge currents at cost effective prices. Lithium-air batteries feature cathodes that couple electrochemically with atmospheric oxygen, thus producing energy densities that rival gasoline fuel.

In battery energy management, we are interested in maximizing performance and longevity. This requires a detailed understanding of the underlying electrochemistry. However, the electrochemical variables are not directly measurable. At best, one can measure voltage, current, and temperature only. Consequently, modeling and control are necessary to extract the full potential from batteries.

###### State-of-Charge (SOC) Estimation

SOC indicates the remaining charge, analogous to a fuel tank level indicator. Unlike fuel tanks, SOC is not measurable—it is estimated by combining models and measurements.

To motivate the particular challenges of SOC estimation consider Figure 2, which provides the relationship between voltage and SOC at different C-rates (see sidebar below “What is C-rate?”) for a LiFePO4 cell. In principle, one may measure voltage and invert the nonlinear relationship shown in Fig. 2. Two challenges are immediately visible. First, voltage shifts with C-rate, thus complicating inversion. Second, function inversion is highly sensitive to measured voltage errors, since the slope is nearly zero in the 5%–95% SOC range. In addition, this relationship varies with temperature, age, and cell chemistry. Accurate models and estimation theory are needed to address this problem, especially in highly dynamic and safety critical environments such as electric vehicles.

Figure 2 Relationship between terminal voltage, storage charge, and C-rate for a LiFePO4 cell.

###### State-of-Health (SOH) Estimation

Battery SOH metrics indicate a battery's relative age. The two most common SOH metrics are charge capacity fade and power capacity fade. Charge capacity fade indicates how charge capacity has decreased relative to its nameplate value (e.g., a 2 Ah cell may hold 1.6 Ah after two years of use). Power capacity fade indicates how power capacity has decreased relative to its nameplate value (e.g., a fresh cell may provide 360W of power for 10 seconds, but only 300W after two years of use). Gradual changes in SOH metrics can be related to changes in a mathematical model's parameters. A rich body of literature on parameter identification is readily available to address SOH estimation. Several interesting challenges arise within the context of electrochemical models, including derivations of parametric models, nonlinear parameter identifiability, and persistency of excitation.

## What is C-Rate?

C-rate is a normalized measure of electric current that enables comparisons between different sized batteries. Mathematically, the C-rate is defined as the ratio of current, I , in Amperes (A) to a cell's nominal capacity, Q, in Ampere-hours (Ah). For example, if a battery has a nominal capacity of 2.5 Ah, then C-rates of 2C, 1C, and C/2 correspond to 5A, 2.5 A, and 1.25 A, respectively. Note that C-rate has dimensions of [A] / [Ah] = [1/h].

###### Controlled Charging/Discharging

In current applications, additional capacity is added to mitigate cell imbalance, capacity/power fade, thermal effects, and estimation errors. This leads to larger, heavier, and more costly batteries than required. ECC alleviates oversizing by safely operating batteries near their physical limits. Today, operation is defined by voltage, current, and temperature limits—all measurable variables. Battery degradation, however, is more closely related to limits on the immeasurable electrochemical states, such as overpotentials and surface concentrations. Consequently, we seek a paradigm-shifting architecture that expands the operating envelope by constraining internal electrochemical states instead of voltage, current, and temperature, as seen in Figure 3. This combines SOC/SOH estimation with control algorithms to form a comprehensive ECC battery management system.

Figure 3 Current battery management systems regulate operation by limiting measurable quantities (e.g. voltage and current). An ECC approach expands the operating regime by regulating the immeasurable electrochemical states within safe limits.

## Mathematical Modeling

###### Equivalent Circuit vs. Electrochemical Models

Mathematical battery models generally fall into two categories: equivalent circuit models (ECM) and electrochemical models (EChem); see Figure 4. ECMs predict the input-output behavior of cells via electric circuits. The simplest ECM, shown in Fig. 4(a), considers a battery as a nonlinear voltage source in series with an internal resistor. This is written in state-space form asDisplay Formula

(1)
$SO˙Ct=−1QIt$
Display Formula
(2)
$Vt=OCVSCOt−RIt$
where I (t) is current, Q is charge capacity, OCV (·) is the open circuit voltage function, R is internal resistance, and V(t) is voltage. These models become more complex and accurate by considering additional circuit components (e.g. RC pairs) and more parameterizations1. Although ECMs are intuitive to formulate, they are insufficient for controlling the electrochemical states. Many researchers have recently focused solely on EChem models.

Figure 4 Example equivalent circuit model A and a schematic of the electrochemical battery model B.

EChem models capture the spatiotemporal dynamics of lithium-ion concentration, electric potential, and intercalation kinetics. Most models in the battery controls literature are derived from the Doyle-Fuller-Newman (DFN) model2, which is based upon porous electrode and concentrated solutions theory. Fig. 4b shows a cross section of the layers described in Fig. 1. At full charge most of the lithium exists within the anode solid phase particles, typically lithiated carbon LixC6, that are idealized as spherically symmetric. During discharge, lithium diffuses from the interior to the surface of these spherical particles. At the surface an electrochemical reaction separates lithium into a positive lithium ion and electron.Display Formula

(3)
$LixC6⇌C6+xLi++xe-$

Next, the lithium ion migrates from the anode, through the separator, and into the cathode. Since the separator is an electrical insulator, the corresponding electron travels through an external circuit, powering the connected device. The lithium ion and electron meet at the cathode particles’ surface, typically a lithium metal oxide LiMO2, and undergo the reverse electrochemical reaction.Display Formula

(4)
$Li1-xMO2+xLi++xe−⇌LiMO2$

The produced lithium atom then diffuses into the interior of the cathode‘s spherical particles. This entire process is reversible by applying sufficient potential across the current collectors – rendering an electrochemical storage device. In addition to lithium migration, this model captures the spatial-temporal dynamics of internal potentials, electrolyte current, and current density between the solid and electrolyte phases.

Although EChem models predict battery operation over broad conditions, they are mathematically complex. Table 1 summarizes the main equations, including partial differential equations (PDEs), ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in space, ODEs in time, and nonlinear algebraic constraints. This complexity prohibits estimator and control design. As a result, there is a focus on reduced-order models that facilitate control design while predicting the dynamics of interest.

###### Reduced-Order Models

A rapidly growing body of literature is establishing a spectrum of EChem models that achieve varying balances of mathematical simplicity and accuracy. The most fundamental reduced EChem model is the single particle model (SPM). The SPM idealizes each electrode as a single aggregate spherical particle. This model results if one assumes the electrolyte Li concentration ce(x, t) from11 is constant in space and time. This assumption works well for small currents, yet produces errors at large C-rates. Mathematically, the model consists of two diffusion PDEs governing each electrode's concentration dynamics,Display Formula

(5)
$∂cs−∂tr,t=Ds−2r∂cs−∂rr,t+∂2cs−∂r2r,t$
Display Formula
(6)
$∂cs+∂tr,t=Ds+2r∂cs+∂rr,t+∂2cs+∂r2r,t$
where input current enters as Neumann boundary conditionsDisplay Formula
(7)
$∂cs−∂t0,t=0, ∂cs−∂tRs−,t=ItDs−Fa−AL−$
Display Formula
(8)
$∂cs+∂t0,t=0, ∂cs+∂tRs+,t=−ItDs+Fa+AL+$

The boundary conditions at Display Formula$r=Rs+$ and Display Formula$r=Rs-$ signify that flux is proportional to input current I(t). Output voltage is given by a nonlinear function of the state values at the boundary Display Formula$css+t,css−t$ and the input current I(t) as followsDisplay Formula

(9)
$Vt=RTαFsinh−1It2a+AL+i0+css+t−RTαFsinh−1It2a−AL−i0−css−t+U+css+t−U−css−t+RfIt$
where the Display Formula$i0j∙$ is the exchange current density and Display Formula$cssjt=cssjRsj,t$ is the surface concentration for electrode Display Formula$j∈+,−$ The functions Uj (·) are the equilibrium potentials of each electrode material, given the surface concentration.

The SPM reduces the DFN model to two linear state equations and a nonlinear output mapping. This model is amenable to control/observer design, however its predictive capability is limited to low C-rates. Other researchers have developed higher-fidelity reduced EChem models via a swath of numerical methods4-8. Nonetheless, these models are not always oriented towards controller/observer synthesis, thus motivating further research.

A critical property for state estimation is observability. The DFN model is not completely observable (in the linear sense) from voltage, current, and temperature measurements. Several heuristics have been successfully applied to render complete observability, which are associated with reduced-order modeling3, 4, 7. However, exploitation of nonlinear observability or PDE observability remains an open opportunity.

## State-of-Charge/State-of Health Estimation

Research on battery SOC/SOH estimation has experienced considerable growth, and can be categorized under ECM or EChem model-based algorithms. The first category considers estimators based upon ECMs. For example, the seminal work by Plett9. applies an extended Kalman filter to simultaneously identify the states and parameters of an ECM. The key advantage of ECMs is their simplicity. However, they are unable to predict relevant electrochemical states and parameters. The second category considers electrochemical models. Although these models can predict internal states, their complex mathematical structure prohibits controller/observer design. These approaches employ model reduction with estimation. Some of the first studies within this category used the SPM in combination with an extended Kalman filter10. Another approach uses residue grouping for model reduction and Kalman filters for observers11. The authors of reference 6 apply approximations to the electrolyte and solid concentration dynamics to perform SOC estimation. More recently, simultaneous SOC and SOH estimation was performed on a SPM using PDE-theoretic techniques3. Simultaneous SOC and SOH estimation using electrochemical models is in infancy, and represents a rich problem for dynamic systems and control researchers.

###### Adaptive PDE Observer for Single Particle Models

We present a simultaneous SOC/SOH estimation algorithm using adaptive PDE observer designs based upon a SPM. The SOC and SOH estimation problems can be cast mathematically as state and parameter estimation problems, respectively. That is, SOC can be defined in terms of the anode solid concentration – Display Formula$cs−r,t$ and SOH can be defined in terms of electrochemical parameters, such as moles of cyclable lithium nLi and electrolyte resistance Rf.

Figure 5 summarizes the complete algorithm. Although the SPM is a relatively simple electrochemical model, it contains several notable challenges. These include (1) the PDE dynamics, (2) the nonlinearity imposed by estimating states and parameters together, and (3) the output function's nonlinear relationship with respect to both states and parameters. We take a cascaded design approach to address these issues. That is, we synthesize identification algorithms for uncertain parameters in the PDE state equation and output function. These estimates are then applied to a backstepping PDE state observer algorithm, using the certainty equivalence principle3.

Figure 5 Block diagram of the adaptive observer composed of the backstepping state observer (blue), PDE parameter identifier (green), output function parameter identifier (red), and adaptive output function inversion (orange). The observer furnishes estimates of SOC (i.e. Display Formula$ĉs−r,t$) and SOH (i.e. Display Formula$ε̂,q̂,θ̂h$) given measurements of I(t) and V(t), only.

To demonstrate, we consider a vehicle-like charge/discharge cycle generated from two concatenated urban dynamometer driving schedule (UDDS) drive cycles. This signal is highly transient with large C-rate magnitudes, producing a sufficiently rich signal for parameter estimation. Figure 6 portrays the state and parameter estimates using data generated from the DFN model summarized in Table 1. The state estimates are represented by bulk SOC and surface concentration, which converge to their true values. The PDE parameter estimates Display Formula$ε̂,q̂$ and output function parameter estimates Display Formula$n̂LiR̂f$ (normalized to one in Fig. 6) also converge near their true values. Similar results are achievable for various other initial conditions and charge/discharge cycles. The relative complexity of combined SOC/SOH estimation for the simplest of electrochemical models highlights the problem richness. Open research opportunities include algorithms based on higher-fidelity models, nonlinear estimation, novel sensing, and experimental verification.

## Controlled Charging/Discharging

Battery packs are typically oversized and underutilized to ensure longevity and robust operation. Indeed, oversizing mitigates degradation mechanisms, such as lithium plating, lithium depletion/over-saturation, overheating, and stress fractures by reducing C-rates. However, oversizing can be overly conservative. In this section we discuss concepts for eliminating this conservatism. Namely, constrained optimal control methods, such as reference governors (RG), enable smaller-sized batteries whose electrochemical states satisfy safe operating constraints.

###### Constrained Control

Ensuring safe operating constraints is a basic requirement for batteries. Mathematically, this can be abstracted as a constrained control problem for which RGs provide one promising solution. We seek to maintain operation subject to electrochemical state constraints. This protects the battery against catastrophic failure and main-tains longevity, an issue underscored by the recent Boeing 787 Dreamliner battery failures12. A list of relevant state constraints is provided in Table 2. These limits are associ-ated with material saturation/depletion, mechanical stress, extreme temperatures, and harmful side reactions, such as lithium plating and solid/electrolyte interphase film growth.

A reference governor is an add-on device that guarantees state constraint satisfaction pointwise-in-time while tracking a desired reference input13. In our “modified” reference governor (MRG) implementation, the applied current Ir [k] and reference current are related according toDisplay Formula

(17)
$I[k+1]=β[k]Ir[k], β∈[0,1]$
where I [k] = I(t) for Display Formula$∈[Δt,k+1Δt], k∈Z$. The goal is to maximize β such that the state stays within an admissible region over some future time horizon,Display Formula
(18)
$β*[k]=max{β∈[0,1]:xt∈0}$

Variable x(t) represents the electrochemical model state at time t and 0 is the set of initial conditions that maintain the state within the constraints listed in Table 2, over a future time horizon Display Formula$τ∈[t,t+Ts]$. See reference 14.

Figure 7 compares the standard constant current-constant voltage (CCCV) protocol, to an MRG that utilizes perfect estimates of the constrained states. CCCV applies 1C charging until voltage reaches a manufacturer-specified “maximum,” 4.2V in this case. Next, CCCV regulates terminal voltage at the maximum voltage, 4.2V, while current diminishes toward zero. The value of 4.2V is selected to avoid lithium plating caused by overcharging. Mathematically, this corresponds to ηs 0 in Fig. 7. Indeed, the side reaction overpotential remains positive, however it is conservative. Specifically, the side reaction overpotential can be regulated closer to zero. The MRG applies 1C charging subject to the constraint ηs 0. In Fig. 7 the MRG maintains ηs ≥ 0 despite voltage exceeding 4.2V. Moreover, the cell attains 95% SOC in 24min vs. 38min for CCCV. Note that CCCV reaches a final SOC of 96%, whereas the MRG achieves 100% SOC. Consequently, charging time is decreased by 37% and energy capacity is increased by 4%. Note that initial C-rates above 1C in the constant current region can further enhance performance beyond what is shown here.

Figure 7 Comparison of CCCV and modified reference governor (MRG) charging. The MRG regulates near its limit, thereby achieving 95% SOC in 24min vs. 38min for CCCV, despite voltage exceeding 4.2V.

One combines this MRG design with a state observer to form a complete output feedback ECC system (Figure 8). Several questions remain, such as robustness to estimation errors, forecasting reference current, optimal charge/discharge current trajectories, and experimental validation.

## Future Outlook

Batteries play a prominent role in developing technologies to ensure energy security, enhance sustainability, and lower greenhouse gases. However, today's reality is that batteries are expensive and conservatively designed. Advanced control systems that optimize battery performance and longevity are a key enabler for reducing costs and catalyzing deeper penetration into transportation fleets and electric power grids. Namely, promising solutions exist at the nexus of electrochemical modeling and advanced control theory. The dynamic systems and control community is uniquely positioned to play a significant role, as batteries provide a rich opportunity for advancements in fundamental control science and emerging energy application areas.
