This issue stems from differences in manufacturing processes and usage conditions, and it severely affects the performance, safety, and service life of battery packs. Most existing studies are based on limited laboratory data and are unable to comprehensively analyze battery consistency, often neglecting the correlation of characteristics. This study proposes a consistency evaluation scheme based on information fusion, which comprehensively and accurately evaluates the consistency of battery packs in actual operation by integrating multiple factors, providing an effective guide for management optimization. Firstly, multi-dimensional consistency characteristics such as voltage, internal resistance, capacity, and temperature are comprehensively extracted, and a consistency score weighted by multiple characteristics is obtained through principal component analysis. Then, the score samples are optimized based on the Box-Cox transformation, and the consistency level is divided according to the normal distribution law. Finally, a mask-conformer deep learning model is constructed based on the characteristics of battery data to predict the consistency state. Experiments show that the proposed evaluation method can accurately distinguish the consistency state of batteries, and the mask-conformer model has excellent performance. It can directly predict from charging data without complex feature calculations, reducing the dependence on a large amount of operating data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of energy storage","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 115919"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143479024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The initial jet fire evolution driven by the internal pressure buildup is investigated by focusing on its instantaneous velocity, fire temperature, and concentrations of combustion components. The simulated results reveal that the pressure buildup within the battery follows a distinct power law vs time which causes rupture of the safety valve.

While previous studies have explored various types of PCM and additives in concrete mixes, this research represents a pioneering investigation into the concurrent utilization of PCMs using pumice containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1000, paraffin, and silica fume. Paraffin as an organic PCM was selected for this research due to its low cost and wide availability. Since the primary objective was to increase the volume of the PCM while minimizing any leakage within the concrete matrix, a particular ratio of silica fume was incorporated into the pumice to prevent PCM leakage. In pursuit of concrete with optimal thermal performance, pumice aggregates containing PEG 1000 replaced 10 %, 20 %, and 30 % of the sand in the target concrete. Similarly, pumice aggregates containing paraffin replacements at the same levels were also prepared and used. The evaluation entailed rigorous tests, including compressive and flexural strengths, water absorption, thermal conductivity, simulation of sunlight & humidity, and thermal performance tests. The results indicated that replacing 10 % of pumice with PEG 1000 in concrete specimens resulted in a reduction of thermal conductivity by 44 % (from 1.548 to 0.866 W/mK) and average surface temperature by 24 %, compared to the reference specimens, though it reduced the compressive strength by 35 % (from 30.9 to 20.2 MPa) and increased the water absorption by 18 %.

Since the ultrasonic testing method can acquire the changes of material properties, the features among the time domain signals and SOC under complex working conditions (different C rate and temperature) are extracted experimentally, which reveals the strong correlation between the acoustic characterization parameters and the amount of cell expansion.
