Embedded Sensors

Reference

Classification

Practical limitations

Current sensor

[67]

Based on the second-order RC design

The current needs to be calibrated according to Ohm's law, and errors may occur in actual operation, which will affect the accuracy

Voltage sensor

[73]

Three in one micro sensor

It has no effect on the performance of the battery, but the design is complicated and the operation technology is difficult

Temperature Sensor

[36]

[74]

[75]

[76]

[77]

[78]

[79]

[80]

[83]

[84]

Thermocouple

NTC

Thin film RTD

FBG

In practical application, there may be potential impact on the long-term cycle life of the battery

In practical applications, the size of the sensor and the design of the energy storage device are difficult to be compatible, which may affect the performance and long-term cycle life of the energy storage device

In practical application, there are problems such as complex manufacturing process and difficult installation

In practical applications, due to the relative fragility of optical fiber, other packaging measures such as corrosion resistance and ensuring the stability of optical fiber need to be considered

Strain sensor

[85]

[88]

[89]

[90]

[91]

[92]

FBG

FBG sensor with added optics

SMF-FBG

(FBG-FPI

In practical applications, since the two variables, temperature and strain, are intrinsically coupled together, a reasonable decoupling method needs to be designed

In practical applications, the two variables of temperature and strain can be decoupled, but this will also lead to difficult design problems
