Digital Data Transmission System with Capacitive Coupling for In-Situ Temperature Sensing in Lithium Ion Cells Digital Data Transmission System with Capacitive Coupling for In-situ Temperature Sensing in Lithium Ion Cells Nora Martinya,∗, Thomas M¨uhlbauera, Sebastian Steinhorsta, Martin Lukasiewycza, Andreas Jossenb aTUM CREATE, 1 CREATE Way, 10-02, CREATE Tower, Singapore 138602 bTechnische Universit¨atM¨unchen,Lehrstuhl f¨urElektrische Energiespeichertechnik, Arcisstr. 21, 80333 M¨unchen Abstract Precise temperature measurement within a narrow time frame is crucial for the safe operation of Li-Ion battery cells. This paper proposes a digital approach for in-situ cell temperature measurement, relying on capacitive coupled data transmission between the controller in a cell and an external controller. In contrast to purely analog solutions, the digital approach satisfies all requirements in terms of electrochemical, space and transmission quality. For this purpose, analog and digital conceptual hardware setups were implemented for comparison and extensive measurements were carried out. The experimental results for the digital implementation show the influence of capacitor sizes and baud rates, providing a guideline for transmission rates for different sizes of cells. The paper also discusses in detail integration aspects for the digital approach. From the digital concept setup, valuable information is deduced regarding the communication latency, achievable energy consumption and miniaturization potential: Depending on the employed sampling rate, the transmission duration for one message with five temperature values can be reduced to as little as 65 µs with a power consumption in the µW range. The proposed miniaturization enables an efficient, low cost, fully integrated logic circuit for data collection and transmission with a size not bigger than 2 mm 3 mm. × Keywords: Wireless data transmission, capacitive coupling, lithium ion pouch cell, digital data, temperature monitoring, in-situ sensing 1.

    Design of Contactless Capacitive Power Transfer Systems for Battery Charging Applications By DEEPAK ROZARIO A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Applied Science in The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences Program UNIVERSITY OF ONTARIO INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY APRIL, 2016 ©DEEPAK ROZARIO, 2016 ABSTRACT Several forms for wireless power transfer exists - Microwave, Laser, Sound, Inductive, Capacitive etc. Among these, the Inductive Power Transfer Systems (IPT) are the most extensively used form of wireless power transfer. Due to the utilization of magnetics the inductive power transfer system suffers from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) issues. Due to the utilization of magnetic field to transfer power, the system is not preferred in an environment with metals and cannot transfer power through metal barriers. Capacitive Power Transfer System (CPT) is an emerging field in the area of wireless power transfer. The antennae of the CPT system, constitute two metal plates which are separated by a dielectric (air). When energised, the metal plates along with the dielectric resemble a loosely coupled capacitor, hence the term capacitive power transfer. The capacitive system utilizes electric field to transfer power and therefore eliminating electromagnetic interference issues. The system has low standing power losses, good anti-interference ability. The advantages, make the CPT system a dynamic alternative to the traditional wireless inductive system. As the area is still in its infancy, the first part of this thesis is dedicated to an extensive study on the literature available on the CPT systems and the basic operation of the system. From, the study it was evident that CPT systems have efficiencies ranging between 60% to 80%.

    2778 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON VERY LARGE SCALE INTEGRATION (VLSI) SYSTEMS, VOL. 24, NO. 8, AUGUST 2016 Noise Coupling Models in Heterogeneous 3-D ICs Boris Vaisband, Student Member, IEEE, and Eby G. Friedman, Fellow, IEEE Abstract— Models of coupling noise from an aggressor module to a victim module by way of through silicon vias (TSVs) within heterogeneous 3-D integrated circuits (ICs) are presented in this paper. Existing TSV models are enhanced for different substrate materials within heterogeneous 3-D ICs. Each model is adapted to each substrate material according to the local noise coupling characteristics. The 3-D noise coupling system is evaluated for isolation efficiency over frequencies of up to 100 GHz. Isolation improvement techniques, such as reducing the ground network inductance and increasing the distance between the aggressor and victim modules, are quantified in terms of noise improvements. A maximum improvement of 73.5 dB for different ground network impedances and a difference of 38.5 dB in isolation efficiency for greater separation between the aggressor and victim modules are demonstrated. Compact, accurate, and computationally efficient models are extracted from the transfer function for each of the heterogeneous substrate materials. The reduced transfer functions are used to explore different manufacturing and design parameters to evaluate coupling noise across multiple 3-D planes. Index Terms— 3-D integrated circuit (IC), heterogeneous 3-D system, noise coupling, substrate coupling, through silicon via (TSV) noise coupling model. Fig. 1. Heterogeneous 3-D IC. I.

  • Harmonic Distortion in Renewable Energy Systems: Capacitive Couplings
    11 Harmonic Distortion in Renewable Energy Systems: Capacitive Couplings Miguel García-Gracia, Nabil El Halabi, Adrián Alonso and M.Paz Comech CIRCE (Centre of Research for Energy Resources and Consumption) University of Zaragoza Spain 1. Introduction Renewable energy systems such as wind farms and solar photovoltaic (PV) installations are being considered as a promising generation sources to cover the continuous augment demand of energy. With the incoming high penetration of distributed generation (DG), both electric utilities and end users of electric power are becoming increasingly concerned about the quality of electric network (Dugan et al., 2002). This latter issue is an umbrella concept for a multitude of individual types of power system disturbances. A particular issue that falls under this umbrella is the capacitive coupling with grounding systems, which become significant because of the high-frequency current imposed by power converters. The major reasons for being concerned about capacitive couplings are: a. Increase the harmonics and, thus, power (converters) losses in both utility and customer equipment. b. Ground capacitive currents may cause malfunctioning of sensitive load and control devices. c. The circulation of capacitive currents through power equipments can provoke a reduction of their lifetime and limits the power capability. d. Ground potential rise due to capacitive ground currents can represent unsafe conditions for working along the installation or electric network. e. Electromagnetic interference in communication systems and metering infrastructure. For these reasons, it has been noticed the importance of modelling renewable energy installations considering capacitive coupling with the grounding system and thereby accurately simulate the DC and AC components of the current waveform measured in the electric network.

  • Chapter 11 Noise and Noise Rejection
    CHAPTER 11 NOISE AND NOISE REJECTION INTRODUCTION In general, noise is any unsteady component of a signal which causes the instantaneous value to differ from the true value. (Finite response time effects, leading to dynamic error, are part of an instrument's response characteristics and are not considered to be noise.) In electrical signals, noise often appears as a highly erratic component superimposed on the desired signal. If the noise signal amplitude is generally lower than the desired signal amplitude, then the signal may look like the signal shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Sinusoidal Signal with Noise. Noise is often random in nature and thus it is described in terms of its average behavior (see the last section of Chapter 8). In particular we describe a random signal in terms of its power spectral density, (x (f )) , which shows how the average signal power is distributed over a range of frequencies, or in terms of its average power, or mean square value. Since we assume the average signal power to be the power dissipated when the signal voltage is connected across a 1 Ω resistor, the numerical values of signal power and signal mean square value are equal, only the units differ. To determine the signal power we can use either the time history or the power spectral density (Parseval's Theorem). Let the signal be x(t), then the average signal power or mean square voltage is: T t 2 221 x(t) x(t)dtx (f)df (1) T T t 0 2 11-2 Note: the bar notation, , denotes a time average taken over many oscillations of the signal.
