A system, a method, and a computer program product for providing heterogeneous unifying battery storage. A state-of-health value of a battery is determined. The state-of-health value of the battery is less than an original capacity value of the battery. The battery is connected to an electrical power source for re-conditioning. A target state-of-health value for the battery and a number of cycles required to achieve the target state-of-health value of the battery are determined. Each cycle in the number of cycles includes at least one of: a charging the battery and a discharging the battery. The battery is re-conditioned by cycling the battery using the determined number of cycles. Cycling includes drawing electrical power from the electrical power source.
A method, comprising:
The method according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the target state-of-health value for the battery is determined using a battery aging model generated based on one or more prior re-conditionings of a plurality of batteries.
The method according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the re-conditioning includes determining a re-conditioned state-of-health value of a battery after performing the re-conditioning.
The method according to any of the preceding claims, wherein a plurality of batteries are connected to the electrical power source for re-conditioning, each battery in the plurality of batteries is individually connected to the power source using corresponding converter and a relay component.
A system comprising:
The system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the target state-of-health value for the battery is determined using a battery aging model generated based on one or more prior re-conditionings of a plurality of batteries.
The system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the re-conditioning includes determining a re-conditioned state-of-health value of a battery after performing the re-conditioning.
The system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein a plurality of batteries are connected to the electrical power source for re-conditioning, each battery in the plurality of batteries is individually connected to the power source using corresponding converter and a relay component.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
The computer program product according to any of the preceding claims,
The computer program product according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the re-conditioning includes determining a re-conditioned state-of-health value of a battery after performing the re-conditioning.
The computer program product according to any of the preceding claims, wherein a plurality of batteries are connected to the electrical power source for re-conditioning, each battery in the plurality of batteries is individually connected to the power source using corresponding converter and a relay component.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
