MOBICUS project: Battery ageing testing, modelling, and strategies for improved durability

T
he development of the market of electrified vehicles brings a response to environmental concerns, with sustainable
mobility and the use of clean energy sources. The performances of electric energy storage system have improved with
new generations of lithium-ion batteries, and their high energy density. Still, during the life of the vehicle, these batteries
may undergo some degradation, with a capacity loss, and internal resistance increase through the effect of usage and time.
Car fleet owners, car manufacturers want to ensure the profitability of their economic models, and cover the warranty costs,
in case these batteries need to be replaced. Therefore, reliable battery ageing models, able to represent vehicle real usage
scenarios are required. The French National collaborative project MOBICUS (2013-2017) aims at designing and validating
strategies enabling to improve battery durability with vehicle usage and recharge, from experimental measurements, models
and validations. Previous projects SIMSTOCK (2007-2011) and SIMCAL (2009-2012), focused respectively on cycling ageing
and on calendar ageing. The new approaches developed in MOBICUS bring: The non-linear strong coupling between calendar
and cycling ageing; the validation on extended domains of state of charge and temperature; the application of dynamic thermal
models and; measurements on cells and packs. Various usage strategies have been tested on packs; thermal strategies have been
evaluated, with applications to fast charging. The battery ageing models can now be used for first and second life batteries, and
be relevant for smart grids, and smart charging applications.
