This invention relates to a method for locating
overvoltage / undervoltage faults in battery systems, belonging to the field of
new energy vehicle technology. The method includes: real-time acquisition of
battery system SOC, maximum
cell voltage, minimum
cell voltage, and
total current; when an
overvoltage alarm occurs in the
battery system, fault location is performed: based on characteristic indicators and their corresponding set thresholds, it is determined whether the fault is due to individual
cell damage, unreasonable control strategy, slow
current limiting by the charging
pile, secondary charging, sampling line problems, current feedback,
circulating current, or active balancing; the process for determining each set threshold is as follows: based on a failure case
library, a fault tree containing all causes of
overvoltage faults is established to obtain
training set data; the
training set data is input into a
decision tree classifier to obtain the characteristic indicators of each overvoltage fault cause and the corresponding set thresholds. This invention provides timely fault location in the event of an alarm, improving battery safety.
