Title: Optimal Sensor Placement for fault diagnosis and isolation in Aerospace Battery Packs

Abstract: 

Energy storage systems for aerospace and aeronautical applications require the ability of providing accurate diagnosis to insure system availability and reliability. In some applications, battery packs may consist of hundreds or thousands of interconnected cells, and of the associated electrical/electronic/cooling hardware, generating a complex system to diagnose and analyze. This presentation reports a systematic methodology for approaching some aspects of the design of battery packs, and in particular the development of diagnostic strategies, using cell models and structural diagnosis methods. Two common battery pack topologies, series of parallel connected cells and parallel of series connected cells will be compared considering the capability of handling parameters variations and fault conditions. Then structural analysis method is used to investigate the redundancy present in different measurements (current, voltage, and temperature) those can be used to improve monitoring and diagnosis of a battery system. Possible sensor placement strategies that would enable the diagnosis of individual sensor faults and individual cell faults are analyzed as well.

Bio:

Matilde D’Arpino received the BS, MS and PhD degrees in electrical engineering with specialization in transportation from the University of Cassino (IT). During 2014–2015, she was a Research Fellow with the Laboratory of Automation, University of Cassino, working on power electronics and control for multi-source grid-connected power systems. Since 2016-2022, she has been a Research Associate, Senior Research Associate, and Research Scientist at The Ohio State University (OSU) Center for Automotive Research (CAR), Columbus, OH, USA. Currently, she is a Research Assistant Professor with the departments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering at OSU. Her research interests include design of power converters and energy management for multi-source power systems (e.g. microgrids, hybrid vehicles, hybrid aircrafts), testing, modeling, design, and control of energy storage for automotive, aerospace and grid-connected systems. She is leading and co-leading research projects funded by US DOE, NASA, AFRL, and major US automotive companies. She is author or co-author of more than 50 papers published in international journals and conferences.
