State of Health Estimation of Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on Incremental Capacity and Pulse Analysis

This paper presents a new approach to estimate the degradation rate of lithium-ion batteries based on the information obtained from incremental capacity analysis. The successful implementation of these analysis in space missions ensures the safe and efficient operation of batteries, maximizing their lifespan and reducing the risk of unexpected failures during critical mission phases. The data are evaluated through a mathematical algorithm with the aim of obtaining a high accurate state of health estimation. In addition, pulse measurement is provided to gain insight into the lithium plating evolution and its impact on the state of health of batteries under different charging scenarios.
