I. INTRODUCTION
energy plays an important role in our daily
E LECTRICAL
life. It can be applied and easily be converted into light,
heat or other forms of energy. A general problem, however, is
that electrical energy can hardly be stored. Capacitors allow
its direct storage, but the quantities are small. Thus, the
storage of electrical energy requires its conversion into
another form of energy. In batteries, the energy of chemical
compounds acts as storage medium. Battery is a device that
can store the electrical power into chemical energy and release
the energy by chemical reaction when it is needed [1, 2]. In
grid energy storage applications, rechargeable batteries are
used for load leveling by charging batteries during periods of
low demand and returning energy to the grid during periods of
high electrical demand, which helps eliminate the need for
expensive peaking power plants and amortize the cost of
generators over more hours of operation [2, 3].
Since the characteristic of the battery (chemical reaction) is
influenced seriously by the internal and external environment,
S. Li and B. Ke are with the Department of Electrical & Computer
Engineering, The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487 (e-mail:

where Vop+ and Vop- are the overvoltages at the positive and
negative electrodes, respectively, and Rpol stands for the
polarization resistance. Due to the polarization effects, the
battery voltage under current flow may differ substantially
from the OCV depending on the state-of-charge of the battery.
These two polarization terms are important components for
battery model development.
(3)
last term stands for the internal resistance loss. Equation (3)
can be presented in (4) by using SoC, which indicates that the
polarization ohmic voltage is inversely proportional to SoC.

Many recent voltage-current models are more complicated
than the Shepherds relation [4, 7, 8]. Those models typically
start with a relation similar to that of Shepherd, and then add
and modify terms to try to 1) improve the fit of the relation to
both measured charge and discharge curves, and 2) relax the
assumptions behind the Shepherd model.

Primary limitations associated with (5) and (6) contain: the
battery capacity Q does not change with the current amplitude;
the temperature does not affect the models behavior; the
aging of the battery is not considered; the self-discharge is not
included. Those factors can be considered in a more complete
mathematical battery model as shown by Figure 3 [23], in
which battery parameters change during the lifetime of the
battery to provide an ageing profile and degradation of battery
performance affected by many other factors (Fig. 3) [4, 23].
The change in parameters is calculated at every simulation
time step. For example, the SoC can be calculated more
accurately at each time step based on (9), which includes the
impact of gassing current igas and the self discharge current isd.
If the capacity falls below the threshold capacity then the end
of life of the battery is signaled.

Figure 5a shows three Shepherd battery models that are
extracted based on three different groups of data selected from
C/20 curve of the lead-acid battery. Each group of data
contains two data points in order to solve parameters E0 and K
associated with the Shepherd battery model. As it can be seen
from Fig. 5a, there is a slight difference in the estimated C/20
discharge characteristics among the three battery models that
are extracted using different groups of data. It is also found
that the model extracted based on C/20 characteristic curve
may behave poorly under a different discharge rate of the

model extraction and how data are selected from the measured
characteristic curves. Performance study demonstrates that the
regression extraction strategy is affected strongly by the
predefined function for a mathematical battery model. If a
predefined function is not well suitable to a battery type, the
extracted battery models using the regression technique may
have a badly deteriorated performance.
