The lithium-ion secondary battery has the advantage of very high energy density. However, the temperature of the battery rises when overcharge or internal short-circuit occurs. If the temperature of the battery exceeds a constant value, there is a danger that the positive electrodepsilas active material may decompose, oxygen may be discharged, the electrolysis liquid may burn, and rapid ignition (thermal runaway) may occur. In general, lithium-ion secondary batteries come in three shapes (cylinder, flat, and accumulating). A structural examination of the temperature increase is indispensable to develop a large-capacity lithium-ion secondary battery.

Peak current mode control is used to control the current of fuel cell while voltage mode control is used to regulate the output voltage. A model for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) and Micro-Turbine (MT) along with their subcomponents and internal controls are presented. Furthermore, the parallel operation of FC and MT using the proposed multiple input DC/DC converter is investigated.

These are expected to provide effects of improving hot spots, which are caused by the exhaust air flowing into the cold aisle, and to provide an energy-saving effect by reducing the energy loss, which is caused by mixing of the supply air and the exhaust air of the IT equipment. This report presents the results of an experiment on the effects of improving the hot spots, energy-saving, and temperature-rise suppression during air-conditioner shutdown in the case that each method is applied.

With the conclusions drawn from the validation filed tests, China Mobile started to apply the ohmic testing technology in the practice of battery maintenance work, including using conductance testing on approval inspection before installation of new batteries, which has greatly improved working efficiency and more importantly, helping improving the stability of the quality of the batteries delivered, and using conductance testing in regular battery maintenance work greatly help to screen out defective batteries and to decrease failing cases compared with before. The simple fast testing method has proved to be most practical tool to be used for the patrol tests of batteries in thousands of base stations right after the snow storm calamity happened in China in the Spring of 2008 and the earthquake happened in May in Sichuan Province. This paper will then further focus on the new database software's development and its applications in Zhejiang province. With more and more ohmic testing data and load testing results of the batteries accumulated and uploaded in to the database software platform, clearer and more exact relationship between ohmic testing value and load tests data are obtained day after day. With the abundance field tests data, BHItrade (Battery Health Indextrade) was developed, which is a key part of the database software system. BHI includes 34 different parameters that have influence on the battery's condition. It is designed and developed to get relatively reliable information of the battery's current health condition with fewer cumbersome load tests. With this same database software system, a complete battery profile is set up, and health condition of each individual battery could be assessed, anytime and anywhere. Data continues accumulating from regular maintenance work and uploaded into the software system, and new study and analysis of battery condition progresses. With more understanding of ohmic testing and more confidence in the technology Chinese telecom operators will need to perform fewer discharge tests in the future, saving time and money.","PeriodicalId":431368,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC 2008 - 2008 IEEE 30th International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"263 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116238147","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}

A multiphase buck with coupled inductors exhibits a larger steady state inductance than transient inductance. Since there are two distinct values of inductance, it unclear which value to use in the conventional DCR sensing scheme. A first assumption might be to use the transient inductance, so that closed loop stability is not compromised. The current slew will be measured accurately, but the measured ripple magnitude will be incorrect. Accurate measurements of both the ripple and the current slew of coupled inductors cannot be produced using conventional DCR sensing.
