Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery performance monitoring, and particularly relates to a multi-parameter distributed optical fiber sensing system and method for monitoring a battery array of an energy storage system. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the new energy industry, the number of energy storage systems is increasing, which has led to an increasing number of safety accidents such as fires and explosions in energy storage systems. An energy storage system includes a battery array composed of thousands of batteries. The current monitoring technology mainly conducts sampling temperature monitoring on the battery array of the energy storage system through electrical temperature sensors such as thermistors, and it is impossible to monitor each battery in the battery array, resulting in the inability to detect battery failures in a timely manner. In addition, the current monitoring technology often can only monitor the temperature and voltage of the battery array of the energy storage system, and cannot monitor deeper internal parameters of the battery, such as electrolyte density and gas concentration, etc., so it is difficult to measure the health status of the battery array. Generally speaking, the current monitoring technology is difficult to achieve large-scale and multi-parameter monitoring of the battery array of the energy storage system.
[0003] Electrical sensors often cannot do without metal materials and are easily eroded by the highly corrosive environment in the battery. In contrast, optical fiber sensors have the advantages of small size, corrosion resistance, electromagnetic interference resistance, etc., and can withstand the highly corrosive environment in the battery. Optical fiber sensors have various structures, such as fiber Bragg gratings, fiber Fabry-Perot cavities, tilted fiber gratings, fiber Michelson interferometers, fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometers, etc. These optical fiber sensor structures can achieve sensing of various different parameters. However, these optical fiber sensor structures often can only achieve single-point sensing and cannot achieve large-scale sensing. On the other hand, there are currently distributed optical fiber sensing technologies based on Rayleigh scattering, Brillouin scattering, and Raman scattering, but these distributed optical fiber sensing technologies can only achieve sensing of temperature and strain and cannot achieve multi-parameter sensing.

[0067] In this embodiment, optionally, the bandwidths of the first photodetector, the second photodetector, the third photodetector, and the fourth photodetector are 80 MHz.
[0068] In this embodiment, optionally, the first multi-parameter sensing probe, the second multi-parameter sensing probe, and the third multi-parameter sensing probe are all composed of an optical fiber Bragg grating, an optical fiber Fabry-Perot cavity, and a gas absorption chamber. Among them, the spectral center wavelength of the optical fiber Bragg grating is about 1550 nm; the cavity length of the optical fiber Fabry-Perot cavity is about 100 μm, and the cavity is not closed, and the external liquid can enter the cavity; the gas absorption chamber is open, allowing the surrounding gas to enter the absorption chamber. The optical fiber Bragg grating is used to monitor the temperature of the battery, the optical fiber Fabry-Perot cavity is used to monitor the density of the battery electrolyte, and the gas absorption chamber is used to monitor the gas concentration of the battery.
[0069] The fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor is a type of grating optical sensor with a periodic refractive index modulation structure in the fiber core. The change in ambient temperature will cause changes in the grating period and the effective refractive index of the grating, resulting in a change in the spectral center wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating. Therefore, it can be used for battery temperature monitoring.
[0070] The fiber Fabry-Perot (FP) sensor is a type of interferometric optical sensor composed of two parallel reflective end faces in the optical fiber. The cavity sandwiched between the two end faces can accommodate the external liquid, and the change in the liquid refraction will cause a change in the optical path difference between the two end faces, resulting in a change in the spectral center wavelength of the fiber Fabry-Perot cavity. Therefore, it can be used for refractive index sensing. Since there is a linear correlation between the density and refractive index of the battery electrolyte, the fiber Fabry-Perot cavity can also be used for monitoring the density of the battery electrolyte.
[0071] The gas absorption cell (GC) consists of two fiber collimators and a cavity. The cavity is sandwiched between two facing fiber collimators. The ambient gas is dispersed in the cavity. The laser beam irradiates the gas in the cavity through one fiber collimator and is then received by the other fiber collimator. For a specific gas, a gas absorption peak will be generated at a specific wavelength, and the intensity of the absorption peak is proportional to the gas concentration. Therefore, it can be used for battery gas concentration sensing.
[0072] In this embodiment, optionally, a series of sensor arrays equivalent to the sensor array composed of the third optical splitter coupler 1253 and the third multi-parameter sensing probe 1256 can be connected after the second port of the third optical splitter coupler 1253, and an optical amplifier can be connected as a relay after the optical power decays to a certain extent to achieve the multiplexing of an infinite number of sensor arrays.
[0073] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-parameter distributed optical fiber sensing method for monitoring a battery array of an energy storage system, as Figure 4 shown. The method includes the following steps:
[0074] Step 1: Immerse the probes of multiple groups of multi-parameter sensing probes into the electrolyte of the battery array; the multi-parameter sensing probes include fiber Bragg gratings, fiber Fabry-Perot cavities, and gas absorption cells; among them, the fiber Fabry-Perot cavity is a cavity and is not closed;
[0075] Step 2: Use the multi-parameter distributed optical fiber sensing system in the above embodiment to collect a first signal (i.e., the multi-parameter sensing signal in the figure) including the battery temperature, the density of the electrolyte in the battery, and the battery gas concentration data in the battery array, a second signal corresponding to the instantaneous frequency of the tunable light source (i.e., the light source instantaneous frequency in the figure), and a third signal after the laser emitted by the tunable light source is absorbed by gas molecules (i.e., the gas reference spectrum in the figure); among them, for the collection process of the first signal: the laser beam is divided into two paths by the first fiber coupler. The laser output from the first port enters the second fiber coupler as the reference light, and the laser output from the second port enters the first optical splitter coupler through the fiber optic circulator as the signal light and enters the first multi-parameter sensing probe from the first port of the first optical splitter coupler. The reflected light passes through the fiber optic circulator again along the original path and enters the second fiber coupler and is mixed with the reference light; similarly, the reflected lights from the second multi-parameter sensing probe, the third multi-parameter sensing probe, and a series of subsequent sensor arrays all pass through the fiber optic circulator and enter the second fiber coupler and are mixed with the reference light. The generated mixed signal is detected by a photodetector after passing through a polarization beam splitter and is collected by a data acquisition card for subsequent processing;
[0076] Step 3: Use the second signal to perform noise compensation on the first signal and the third signal, and obtain the first resampled signal after noise compensation (i.e., the multi-parameter sensing signal after non-linear compensation in the figure) and the third resampled signal (i.e., the gas reference spectrum after non-linear compensation in the figure);
[0077] Step 4: Use the standard gas absorption spectrum and the third resampled signal to correct the first resampled signal, and obtain the first resampled signal after correction (i.e., the multi-parameter sensing signal after wavelength correction in the figure);
[0078] Step 5: Perform demodulation processing on the first resampled signal after correction, and obtain the first central wavelength in the spectral data corresponding to the fiber Bragg grating in each group of multi-parameter sensing probes, the second central wavelength in the spectral data corresponding to the fiber Fabry-Perot cavity, and the absorption intensity of the spectrum corresponding to the gas absorption chamber;
[0079] Step 6: Calculate and obtain the battery temperature value according to the first central wavelength and the pre-calibrated first performance change relationship; calculate and obtain the electrolyte density value according to the second central wavelength, the battery temperature value and the pre-calibrated second performance change relationship; calculate and obtain the battery gas concentration value according to the absorption intensity of the spectrum corresponding to the gas absorption chamber and the pre-calibrated third performance change relationship.
[0080] In this embodiment, optionally, Step 3 is to compensate for the non-linear frequency sweep error caused by the tunable light source during the wavelength scanning process. The specific compensation process includes: First, read the second signal I1(t) collected by the light source instantaneous frequency acquisition module, and perform preprocessing on the second signal I1(t), that is: obtain the real part and the imaginary part of the second signal through Hilbert transform, and perform arctangent operation on the real part and the imaginary part to obtain the instantaneous phase Φ1(t) of the second signal, which is proportional to the instantaneous frequency of the light source; Then, read the third signal I2(t) collected by the gas reference spectrum acquisition module, and resample the third signal I2(t) at equal phase intervals with the instantaneous phase Φ1(t) to obtain the third resampled signal I2’(t) after phase noise compensation; Read the first signal I3(t) collected by the multi-parameter signal acquisition module, and resample the first signal I3(t) at equal phase intervals with the instantaneous phase Φ1(t) to obtain the first resampled signal I3’(t) after phase noise compensation.
[0081] In this embodiment, optionally, step four is to correct the wavelength drift error caused by environmental factor changes of the tunable light source. The specific process of the correction includes: First, read the standard gas absorption spectrum I0 in the storage module, and read the third resampled signal I2’(t); identify the central wavelengths λ1 and λ2 of the two absorption peaks in the standard gas absorption spectrum I0, and identify the central wavelengths λ1’ and λ2’ of the two absorption peaks in the third resampled signal I2’(t); according to the central wavelengths λ1 and λ2, and the central wavelengths λ1’ and λ2’, obtain the scaling factor α and the translation factor β. The expression of the scaling factor α is α = (λ1 - λ2) / (λ1’ - λ2’), and the expression of the translation factor β is β = (λ1’*λ2 - λ2’*λ1) / (λ1’ - λ2’); read the first resampled signal I3’(t), obtain the horizontal axis X of the first resampled signal I3’(t), and correct the first resampled signal I3’(t) according to the scaling factor α and the translation factor β to obtain the corrected horizontal axis X’, and the expression of the horizontal axis X’ is X’ = α*X + β; replace the original horizontal axis X with the horizontal axis X’ to obtain the corrected first resampled signal, that is, the wavelength correction signal I3”(t).
[0082] In this embodiment, optionally, the principle for demodulation in step five is as follows: The change of the electric field of the reference light with time when it reaches the photodetector can be expressed as: E R (t) = E R0 exp{jφ(t)}, where E R0 represents the initial amplitude of the reference light electric field, and φ(t) represents the change of the phase of the reference light with time; the change of the electric field of the partial reflected light of the signal light with time when it reaches the photodetector can be expressed as: E P (t - τ) = E P0 exp{jφ(t - τ)}, where E P0 represents the initial amplitude of the signal light electric field, and φ(t - τ) represents the change of the phase of the signal light with time. Due to there being many reflection points, the reflected light generated by these reflection points coherently superposes with the reference light to form the final mixed-frequency signal, and its intensity can be expressed as:
[0083]
[0084] In the formula, E Pm represents the initial amplitude of the electric field of the m-th reflection point, r m represents the electric field amplitude reflectivity of the m-th reflection point, and τ m represents the time delay of the m-th reflection point relative to the reference light.
[0085] It can be seen that the final mixed-frequency signal contains the reflectivity r m related to the time delay τ mInformation. By appropriately processing the data, the spectral signal corresponding to a certain time delay can be demodulated, and the time delay corresponds to the position of the sensing unit. Therefore, the spectral data of multiple sensing units are obtained.
[0086] The specific process of demodulation processing includes: performing a fast Fourier transform on the wavelength correction signal I3”(t) to obtain the reflection peaks corresponding to the fiber Bragg gratings, fiber Fabry-Perot cavities, and gas absorption chambers connected in each multi-parameter sensing probe; then, selecting the reflection peaks corresponding to each fiber Bragg grating, fiber Fabry-Perot cavity, and gas absorption chamber for inverse Fourier transform to obtain the spectral data corresponding to each fiber Bragg grating, fiber Fabry-Perot cavity, and gas absorption chamber, as well as the central wavelengths corresponding to the three spectral data.
[0087] Taking an example further, the specific formation process of the mixed-frequency signal and the demodulation process of the spectral signal are as Figure 5 shown. The relationship between the frequency and time of the reference light after reaching the photodetector is as Figure 5 (shown by the solid line in (a)) (LO). Since the positions of each multi-parameter sensing probe and the fiber Bragg gratings, fiber Fabry-Perot cavities, and gas absorption chambers that make up the multi-parameter sensing probe in the optical fiber link are different, the corresponding reflected lights have different time delays after reaching the photodetector, as Figure 5 (shown in (a)). The reflected light of the fiber Bragg grating in the first multi-parameter sensing probe is denoted as S11, the reflected light of the fiber Fabry-Perot cavity is denoted as S12, and the reflected light of the gas absorption chamber is denoted as S13; similarly, the reflected lights of the fiber Bragg grating, fiber Fabry-Perot cavity, and gas absorption chamber in the second multi-parameter sensing probe can be denoted as S21, S22, and S23, and so on. These reflected lights interfere with the reference light to generate beat frequency signals with frequencies f 11 、f 12 and f 13 respectively. These beat frequency signals are superimposed to form an aliased signal that is detected by the photodetector and collected by the data acquisition card.
[0088] Then, performing a fast Fourier transform (FFT) on the mixed-frequency signal can obtain the reflection peaks (S11), (S12), and (S13) corresponding to the fiber Bragg grating, fiber Fabry-Perot cavity, and gas absorption chamber in the first multi-parameter sensing probe, as Figure 5 (shown in (b)). Similarly, the reflection peaks corresponding to the fiber Bragg gratings, fiber Fabry-Perot cavities, and gas absorption chambers in the second and subsequent multi-parameter sensing probes can also be obtained, as Figure 6 shown.
[0089] Use window functions to separately select three reflection peaks and perform inverse Fourier transform (IFFT) to obtain the spectra of the fiber Bragg grating (S11 spectrum), the fiber Fabry-Perot cavity (S12 spectrum), and the gas absorption chamber (S13 spectrum) in the first multi-parameter sensing probe, as shown in Figure 5 (c). Similarly, continue to connect a series of sensing units composed of optical splitters and multi-parameter sensing probes after the second port of the first optical splitter, and thus multiplexing of a series of multi-parameter sensing probes can be achieved, and demodulation of each sensing unit can be realized according to the above steps.
[0090] In this embodiment, optionally, for obtaining the battery temperature value in step six, first, the first performance change relationship between the battery temperature and its corresponding spectral center wavelength needs to be pre-calibrated: obtain the spectral center wavelengths corresponding to a series of signals at known battery temperatures collected by the fiber Bragg grating sensor, and obtain the linear fitting function y1 = a1*T + b1, where y1 is the spectral center wavelength, T is the temperature, and a1 and b1 are fitting coefficients, as shown in Figure 7 (a); according to the above linear fitting function, the first performance change relationship can be obtained as: T’ = (y1’ - b1) / a1, where y1’ is the spectral center wavelength corresponding to the fiber Bragg grating in actual measurement, and T’ is the temperature value to be measured; then, when the battery temperature changes, since its corresponding spectral center wavelength also shifts, the battery temperature value in the battery array can be calculated according to the pre-calibrated first performance change relationship.
[0091] For obtaining the battery electrolyte density value, first, the second performance change relationship between the electrolyte density and its corresponding spectral center wavelength needs to be pre-calibrated: obtain the spectral center wavelengths corresponding to a series of signals at known battery electrolyte densities collected by the fiber Fabry-Perot cavity sensor, and obtain the linear fitting function y2 = a2*ρ + b2, where y2 is the spectral center wavelength, ρ is the electrolyte density, and a2 and b2 are fitting coefficients, as shown in Figure 7 (b); obtain the spectral center wavelengths corresponding to a series of signals at known battery temperatures collected by the fiber Fabry-Perot cavity sensor, and obtain the linear fitting function y3 = a3*T + b3, where y3 is the spectral center wavelength, T is the temperature, and a3 and b3 are fitting coefficients, as shown in Figure 7(c); according to the above two linear fitting functions, the second performance change relationship can be obtained as: ρ’ = (y2’ - a3 * T’ - b2) / a2 + (a3 * b3) / (a1 * a2), where y2’ is the central wavelength of the spectrum corresponding to the fiber Fabry - Perot cavity obtained in the actual measurement, T’ is the temperature value to be measured obtained in the previous step, and ρ’ is the electrolyte density value to be measured; then, when the density of the battery electrolyte changes, the corresponding spectral central wavelength also shifts, and the battery array electrolyte density value can be calculated according to the pre - calibrated second performance change relationship.
[0092] For obtaining the battery gas concentration value, first, a third performance change relationship between the battery gas concentration and its corresponding spectral absorption intensity needs to be pre - calibrated: A series of spectral absorption intensities corresponding to signals at known gas concentrations collected through the gas absorption chamber are obtained, and a linear fitting function y4 = a4 * c + b4 is obtained, where y4 is the spectral absorption intensity, c is the gas concentration, and a4 and b4 are fitting coefficients, as Figure 7 (d); according to the above linear fitting function, the third performance change relationship can be obtained as: c’ = (y4’ - b4) / a4, where y4’ is the absorption intensity of the spectrum corresponding to the gas absorption chamber obtained in the actual measurement, and c’ is the gas concentration value to be measured; then, when the battery gas concentration changes, the corresponding spectral absorption intensity also changes, and the battery array gas concentration value can be calculated according to the pre - calibrated third performance change relationship.
[0093] In this embodiment, optionally, after step six, there is also step seven: setting a temperature threshold, an electrolyte density threshold, and a gas concentration threshold, and giving an alarm when the battery temperature value exceeds the temperature threshold, the battery electrolyte density value exceeds the electrolyte density threshold, and the battery gas concentration value exceeds the gas concentration threshold.
