Abstract
A system for determining remaining useful energy in an electric aircraft, the system including a computing device where the computing device is configured to measure a internal state datum of a battery as a function of at least a sensor, receive the internal state datum from the at least a sensor, generate a useful energy remaining datum as a function of the internal state datum and a battery model, and display the useful energy remaining datum to a user.
Claims19
A system for determining remaining useful energy in an electric aircraft, the system comprising a computing device, wherein the computing device is configured to:
- measure an internal state datum of a battery on an electric aircraft as a function of at least a sensor;
- receive the internal state datum from the at least a sensor;
- train a battery model using training data, wherein the training data includes battery internal state datum correlated to battery remaining useful energy data;
- and
- generate a useful energy remaining datum as a function of the internal state datum and the battery model.
The system of claim 7, wherein the computing device is configured to calculate a probability of a thermal runaway as a function of the thermal datum.
A method for determining remaining useful energy in an electric aircraft, the method comprising:
- measuring, by a computing device, an internal state datum of a battery on an electric aircraft as a function of at least a sensor;
- receiving, by the computing device, the internal state datum from the at least a sensor;
- training, by the computing device, a battery model using training data, wherein the training data includes battery internal state datum correlated to battery remaining useful energy data;
- and
- generating, by the computing device, a useful energy remaining datum as a function of the internal state datum and the battery model.
