This article details a lead-acid battery degradation model based on irreversible thermodynamics, which is then verified experimentally using commonly measured operational parameters.
The reliability analysis of the lead acid battery is based on three stages. The first stage consists of constructing a causal tree that presents the various possible combinations of events that involves the batteries degradation during lead acid battery operation .
Nevertheless, positive grid corrosion is probably still the most frequent, general cause of lead–acid battery failure, especially in prominent applications, such as for instance in automotive (SLI) batteries and in stand-by batteries. Pictures, as shown in Fig. 1 taken during post-mortem inspection, are familiar to every battery technician.
Hariprakash et al. 14 investigated the correlation between increasing internal resistance and lead-acid battery degradation, and observed, via a curve fit of experimental data, a linear relationship between log (SOC) and ohmic resistance.
Irreversible thermodynamics and the Degradation-Entropy Generation theorem were applied to lead-acid battery degradation. Thermodynamic breakdown of the active processes in batteries during cycling was presented, using Gibbs energy-based formulations.
The proposed causal tree of a lead acid battery is described in Fig. 1. The causal tree is a powerful technique that shows the causes of undesirable events in battery failure and presents all possible combinations of causes and faults leading to the loss of batteries capacity.
Considered a mature and initial low cost technology, lead-acid battery technology is well understood and found in a wide range of photovoltaic (PV) energy storage applications. For this reason, the researchers are very concerned by the study of degradation mechanisms affecting the battery lifetime.
