Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for determining the working life of a traction battery of a boat, including the steps of determining a system configuration and/or operating conditions of the boat, providing a traction battery model, which states an ageing condition of the traction battery as time progresses depending on the system configuration and/or operating conditions determining at least one condition that confirms the end-of-life condition of the traction battery has been reached and calculating the time-period until the end-of-life condition is reached on the basis of the traction battery model.
Claims19
A method for determining a working life of a traction battery of a boat, comprising:
- determining, by at least one processor and based on a received envisaged region of use of the boat, climate conditions of the received envisaged region of use to determine operating conditions of the boat;
- calculating, by the at least one processor and based on a traction battery model comprising a mathematical model, an ageing condition of the traction battery as time progresses depending on the operating conditions;
- determining, by the at least one processor, at least one condition that confirms an end-of-life condition of the traction battery has been reached;
- and
- calculating, by the at least one processor and on a basis of the ageing condition determined by the traction battery model comprising the mathematical model, a time period until the at least one condition is reached.
A computer program product with a program code stored on a non-transitory machine-readable data carrier for carrying out the program code, the computer program product executed by a data processing system to:
- determine, based on a received envisaged region of use of a boat, climate conditions of the received envisaged region of use to determine operating conditions of the boat;
- calculate, based on a traction battery model comprising a mathematical model, an ageing condition of a traction battery as time progresses depending on the operating conditions;
- determine at least one condition that confirms an end-of-life condition of the traction battery has been reached;
- and
- calculate, on a basis of the ageing condition determined by the traction battery model comprising the mathematical model, a time period until the at least one condition is reached.
A prognosis system for determining a working life of a traction battery of a boat comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one storage medium having encoded thereon executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to carry out a method, the method comprising:
- determining, based on a received envisaged region of use of the boat, climate conditions of the received envisaged region of use to determine operating conditions of the boat;
- calculating, based on a traction battery model comprising a mathematical model, an ageing condition of the traction battery as time progresses depending on the operating conditions;
- determining at least one condition that confirms an end-of-life condition of the traction battery has been reached;
- and
- calculating, on a basis of the ageing condition determined by the traction battery model comprising the mathematical model, a time period until the at least one condition is reached.
