[0003] Traditional temperature and voltage sensors, as well as acoustic warning technologies for safety valve opening, trigger alarms only during the intense phase of thermal runaway (temperatures > 150°C), failing to meet early warning requirements. Gas detection methods are susceptible to air flow, and the concentrations of characteristic gases like CO and H2 are below the detection limit in the early stages of thermal runaway. Traditional temperature and new stress-strain warning systems require intrusion into battery cells and modules at the detection end, which is destructive to the battery structure and increases sensor tolerance requirements, making it difficult to retrofit and update lithium-ion batteries already in production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solution of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0022] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application. The embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other unless there is a conflict.

[0023] The present invention provides a method for early warning of thermal runaway of a lithium-ion battery, comprising: Synchronously acquire low-frequency acoustic wave signals, temperature signals, voltage signals, and stress-strain signals of lithium-ion batteries; Perform noise reduction on the low-frequency acoustic wave signal and extract the time-frequency features of the low-frequency acoustic wave signal after noise reduction to obtain the characteristic frequency band energy corresponding to the early stage of thermal runaway events; Calculate the thermal runaway sensitivity coefficient based on the energy of the characteristic frequency band. When the thermal runaway sensitivity coefficient is greater than the first coefficient threshold, a thermal runaway warning is triggered. Based on the thermal runaway sensitivity coefficient, temperature signal, voltage signal and stress-strain signal, a feature vector is constructed, and the feature vector is input into the trained long-short-term memory network and attention mechanism hybrid model for classification to obtain the thermal runaway warning level.

[0024] In the early stages of thermal runaway, such as when SEI film decomposition and lithium deposition occur at the negative electrode, characteristic low-frequency acoustic waves ranging from 0.1Hz to 100Hz are generated. However, their signal intensity is only 1 / 1000th of the ambient noise. Furthermore, in the early stages of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries, the low-frequency acoustic signal accounts for the majority of the energy in the entire frequency band. Furthermore, the acoustic signal has excellent penetration, allowing detection outside the battery pack. Using this signal can prevent damage to the original battery module structure.

[0025] The lithium-ion battery thermal runaway warning method provided in the embodiment of the present application can effectively identify early abnormal low-frequency acoustic wave signals during the use of lithium-ion batteries, reduce the probability of lithium-ion battery thermal runaway caused by backward warning technology, such as the probability of an accident in which a whole cabin fire is induced by battery thermal runaway in an energy storage power station, and greatly improve the fire safety of lithium-ion battery application scenarios; the current mainstream battery module thermal runaway risk warning technology has a high application cost, and mainly uses a temperature signal, acoustic signal, electrical signal and combustible gas concentration coupling method to alarm on the eve of or when the disaster is triggered. The warning timing is relatively delayed, the disaster control is difficult, the modification cost is high, and it is easy to cause serious disaster losses. Therefore, the recognition technology of lithium-ion battery thermal runaway low-frequency acoustic wave signals can effectively identify the early low-frequency acoustic wave signals of thermal runaway disasters, which has significant benefits for the smooth operation of lithium-ion batteries.

[0026] In one possible embodiment, the first coefficient threshold is 0.15.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the thermal runaway sensitivity coefficient is greater than the first coefficient threshold value of 0.15 for three consecutive times, a thermal runaway warning is triggered.

[0028] In one possible embodiment, synchronously acquiring low-frequency acoustic wave signals, temperature signals, voltage signals, and stress and strain signals of a lithium-ion battery specifically includes: synchronously acquiring low-frequency acoustic wave signals, temperature signals, voltage signals, and stress and strain signals of the lithium-ion battery at a preset sampling rate through a non-invasively arranged acoustic sensing array, a temperature sensing module, a voltage sensing module, and a stress and strain sensing module, and using time-division multiplexing technology to reduce multi-channel crosstalk, thereby acquiring multiple types of signals, mainly low-frequency acoustic wave signals, during the operation of the lithium-ion battery.

[0029] Non-invasive includes physical non-invasive and signal non-invasive. Physical non-invasive means that the probe only contacts the external electrodes of the battery, and signal non-invasive means that no additional current is injected during the acquisition process, which does not affect the chemical state of the battery.

[0030] In this embodiment, the acoustic sensing array includes MEMS sensors arranged diagonally across the battery pack or module. For example, when used within an energy storage compartment, the sensors are arranged diagonally within the compartment to form an array. This facilitates monitoring the acoustic characteristics of all battery modules within the compartment and lays the foundation for subsequent updates to the positioning algorithm. The temperature sensing module includes thermocouples and infrared thermometers arranged on the surface of the individual cells. Six thermocouples are installed on the surface of each battery within the module to monitor all-around temperature changes in the battery, and in conjunction with the infrared thermometer, fully identify the battery temperature evolution pattern. The voltage sensing module includes a voltage probe connected to the output of the battery module and a differential amplifier circuit with optocoupler isolation. The voltage probe is connected non-invasively, and the differential amplifier circuit is integrated after the voltage probe. The stress and strain sensing module includes a stress sensor arranged on the surface of the battery module and a single-bridge strain sensor arranged on the surface of the individual cells to monitor stress and strain signals that occur earlier than temperature changes.

[0031] Specifically, the 0.1Hz~100Hz low-frequency acoustic wave signal, temperature signal, voltage signal and stress-strain signal of the lithium-ion battery are synchronously collected at a sampling rate of 100Hz.

[0032] The 0.1Hz~100Hz low-frequency acoustic wave signal covers the acoustic emission spectrum range of key physical and chemical reactions in the early stage of thermal runaway: ①0.1Hz~5Hz corresponds to the early thermal runaway event: SEI film decomposition; ②5Hz~10Hz corresponds to the early thermal runaway event: electrolyte boiling; ③20Hz~30Hz corresponding to the early thermal runaway event is: diaphragm rupture; ④The early thermal runaway event corresponding to 50Hz~80Hz is: shell deformation.

[0033] The lithium-ion battery thermal runaway warning method provided in this embodiment can focus on low-frequency acoustic wave signals, construct an acoustic fingerprint map including three types of events: electrolyte boiling, diaphragm rupture, and shell deformation, and effectively construct a low-frequency acoustic wave disaster map.

[0034] In a possible embodiment, performing noise reduction processing on the low-frequency sound wave signal specifically includes the following steps: Step 1: Construct a transfer function based on the spatial arrangement of the acoustic sensor array; In this embodiment, the noise transfer function for: ; in, represents the ambient noise spectrum collected by the reference sensor, Represents the target mixed signal spectrum collected by the main sensor.

[0035] : The noise spectrum collected by the reference sensor is placed in a non-battery area (such as the module bracket). It only contains environmental noise (fan / mechanical vibration) and provides a pure noise sample for building a noise baseline.

[0036] : The mixed signal spectrum collected by the main sensor, arranged on the battery surface, contains the target sound wave signal + environmental noise, and is the signal source to be processed, from which the effective sound wave needs to be separated.

[0037] : Noise transfer function, which characterizes the propagation characteristics of noise from the reference point to the main point, is in complex form (including amplitude / phase), establishes a noise space mapping relationship, and guides the filter to generate a noise cancellation signal.

[0038] Reference sensors are placed diagonally across the battery pack to maximize ambient noise capture and minimize interference with battery signals. The main sensor, attached to the battery surface, directly monitors low-frequency sound waves from 0.1Hz to 100Hz. The transfer function addresses the randomness of time-domain noise and uses a normalized least mean square adaptive filter to adjust coefficients in real time to accommodate noise fluctuations (such as fan startup and shutdown).

[0039] Step 2: Based on the transfer function, a normalized least mean square adaptive filter is used to cancel the noise of the low-frequency sound wave signal.

[0040] In this embodiment, the step size parameter of the normalized least mean square adaptive filter is satisfy ,in, is the autocorrelation matrix of the input signal.

[0041] The normalized least mean square adaptive filter is used to cancel the noise of low-frequency sound wave signals, which can improve the signal-to-noise ratio by more than or equal to 40dB. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, under the background noise of the energy storage cabin (fan / inverter interference), the filter makes the lower limit of effective signal detection reach 0.01Pa.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, time-frequency feature extraction is performed on the low-frequency sound wave signal after noise reduction processing to obtain characteristic frequency band energy corresponding to the early thermal runaway event, which specifically includes: performing Morlet wavelet transform on the low-frequency sound wave signal after noise reduction processing to extract characteristic frequency band energy corresponding to the early thermal runaway event.

[0043] In this embodiment, the characteristic frequency band energy corresponding to the early thermal runaway event includes the electrolyte boiling event energy, the diaphragm rupture event energy, and the shell deformation event energy.

[0044] The calculation formula of thermal runaway sensitivity coefficient is: ; in, represents the thermal runaway sensitivity coefficient, represents the energy of the electrolyte boiling event, represents the energy of the diaphragm rupture event, represents the shell deformation event energy, Indicates the total sound energy in the low frequency band.

[0045] Specifically, the energy of the electrolyte boiling event corresponds to the sound energy in the frequency band of 5Hz~10Hz, the energy of the diaphragm rupture event corresponds to the sound energy in the frequency band of 20Hz~30Hz, the energy of the shell deformation event corresponds to the sound energy in the frequency band of 50Hz~80Hz, and the total sound energy in the low-frequency band is the total sound energy in the low-frequency band of 0.1Hz~100Hz.

[0046] Extracting the energy of the characteristic frequency band corresponding to the early stage of thermal runaway events and calculating the thermal runaway sensitivity coefficient specifically includes the following steps: Step a: Directed extraction of key event energy; Only three characteristic frequency bands strongly associated with thermal runaway were selected (not all frequency bands were randomly selected). Electrolyte boiling (5Hz-10Hz), diaphragm rupture (20Hz-30Hz), and housing deformation (50Hz-80Hz) are the earliest detectable events of thermal runaway.

[0047] Step b: Calculate the total energy benchmark; Normalization: Eliminate the influence of environmental noise fluctuations (such as The sudden increase could be an external vibration); Function of the denominator: Converts absolute energy values into relative proportions to improve cross-scenario applicability.

[0048] Step c: Construct sensitivity coefficients.

[0049] Molecular focus on disaster events: Quantify core risks; Ratio meaning: When When it rises, it indicates that the proportion of disaster event energy has increased (even if the total energy remains unchanged).

[0050] Example: Normal state: ; Early stage of thermal runaway: (The first coefficient threshold is reached).

[0051] In this embodiment, the low-frequency acoustic wave signal during the thermal runaway process evolves as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the spectrum of the low-frequency acoustic wave signal during thermal runaway is as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0052] In one possible embodiment, the hybrid model of the long short-term memory network and the attention mechanism specifically includes: An input module for receiving a feature vector; The temporal feature extraction module is used to capture the temporal dependency of feature vectors through two layers of long short-term memory network units to obtain the hidden state sequence; The attention weighting module is used to calculate the weight distribution of historical hidden states based on the hidden state sequence and generate a weighted feature vector; Feature fusion module, used to reduce the dimension and perform nonlinear transformation on the weighted feature vector through the fully connected layer; The output module is used to generate a thermal runaway warning probability distribution through an activation function based on the weighted feature vector after dimensionality reduction and nonlinear transformation, and output a thermal runaway warning level based on the thermal runaway warning probability distribution.

[0053] In this embodiment, the long short-term memory network is used to capture 、 、 、 The attention mechanism is used to detect disaster-sensitive features (such as sudden ) Dynamically assign higher weights to improve the reliability of decisions.

[0054] The long short-term memory network layer is designed as follows: Time step: 30 steps (30 seconds), The value must be greater than the first coefficient threshold for three consecutive times (sampling rate 1Hz → covering a 30-second window); Number of hidden layers: 2, balancing complexity and performance (experimental verification: the risk of overfitting increases when the number of layers is greater than 2); Number of hidden units: 64 / layer, input feature dimension 4→64 units can fully extract temporal patterns; Activation function: tanh (memory gate), standard LSTM configuration to avoid gradient disappearance.

[0055] The attention mechanism is designed as follows: Query vector Q: Q=H t W q +b q , focus on the current state; Key vector K: K=H {t-1} W k +b k , associated historical status; Attention weight α: α t =softmax(Q·K T / √d k ), weighted key features (d k =64 is the scaling factor); Weighted output: X' t =∑(α t,i ·H t,i ), disaster-sensitive characteristics (such as sudden ) to obtain high weight.

[0056] In one possible embodiment, a hybrid model of a long short-term memory network and an attention mechanism is trained using multimodal time series data of thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries using a weighted cross entropy loss function and an Adam optimizer.

[0057] The training dataset is constructed as follows: Laboratory thermal runaway test: 200 sets of 18650 batteries (SOC=100%) overcharged to thermal runaway, 1200 samples; Actual operation data of energy storage power stations: marked with normal / warning status (provided by partners), 5,800 samples; Enhanced data: Add ±10% Gaussian noise / time offset, total sample size 7000.

[0058] The training parameters are configured as follows: Loss function: weighted cross entropy to address sample imbalance (normal: warning = 8:1); Optimizer: Adam (β1=0.9, β2=0.999); Learning rate: Initially 0.001, decaying by 50% every 10 rounds. Experimental verification: balancing convergence speed and stability; Batch size: 32, GPU memory limit (NVIDIA T4 16GB); Number of training rounds: 100 rounds, early stopping strategy: terminate if the validation set loss does not decrease for 5 consecutive rounds.
