The proposed architecture performs EIS on the high-voltage battery at arbitrarily low test frequencies, requiring only a few cycles of operation and no additional means of energy-storage. This allows for fast, opportunistic, in-situ EIS measurements during EV operation. In-situ impedance measurements can help maximize the EV battery performance with respect to its local environment. Full integration into the existing high-voltage to low-voltage dc-dc EV converter results in a compact and low-cost system. A cell-level voltage-response sensor with automatic dc-offset calibration is implemented with integrated signal processing to measure cell-level voltage responses, thereby accurately capturing cell-to-cell impedance variations in the EV battery. Impedance measurements from a fully custom liquid-cooled 350-V lithium-ion EV battery pack are collected between 0.1 Hz and 200 Hz, from 15° C to 25° C, demonstrating simultaneous in-situ pack-level EIS perturbation and cell-level response measurement.","PeriodicalId":127006,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134165274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective converter admittance is derived from the control architecture and is then used to analyze the passivity properties of grid-forming inverters.
