20220212563 | METHOD FOR INITIALISING THE CHARGE STATE OF A BATTERY - A method for estimating the charge state of a battery includes initializing the charge state, including estimating an initial charge state value. The initializing includes: receiving a stored charge state value for a sleep mode time of the battery, computing a charge state value from a measurement of the no-load voltage at the terminals of the battery at a wake-up time of the battery, and computing an error in the measurement of the no-load voltage due to the relaxation of the battery. The error is computed as a function of the current temperature of the battery and of a target relaxation duration modelled for each temperature. The initial value of the charge state is computed based on a comparison between the recorded and computed charge state values and as a function of the error. | 2022-07-07 |

20220212566 | SELECTIVE THERMAL MECHANIZATION FOR RESS HEAT LOADS - A method is usable for cooling portions of a vehicle having a plurality of low temperature radiators (LTR), a rechargeable energy storage system (RESS), an i-condenser coolant circuit, and a RESS coolant circuit. Cooling the RESS occurs by comparing ambient temperature to target low and high temperatures. If the ambient temperature is below the target low temperature, coolant flow is routed through a first flow path placing the first and second LTR in the RESS coolant circuit. If the ambient temperature is between the target low and high temperatures, coolant flow is routed through a second flow path placing the first LTR in the RESS coolant circuit and the second LTR in the i-condenser coolant circuit. If the ambient temperature is above the target high temperature, coolant flow is routed through a third flow path placing the first and second LTR in the i-condenser coolant circuit. | 2022-07-07 |
