Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive power battery technology, specifically relating to a control and design method for an adaptive current control circuit for parallel battery clusters. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electric vehicle and hybrid vehicle technologies are developing rapidly. Their power source uses multiple battery clusters connected in parallel to supply power to the vehicle. Therefore, battery status monitoring is particularly important in this system. During charging and discharging, changes in the physical characteristics of the batteries can reduce the consistency of the individual battery clusters, leading to poor performance or even damage, and significantly reducing the lifespan of the battery clusters.

[0003] Meanwhile, the differences in voltage and physical characteristics of batteries during the production process will bring many problems to the control of the subsequent battery system. Furthermore, the energy difference of the battery system gradually increases due to the battery system operating in unequal current modes for a long time, resulting in a rapid decline in the energy utilization rate of the battery system. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop and design a battery balancing system.

[0004] The internal battery balancing process is slow and affected by the battery's external output characteristics. Manual balancing using equipment is labor-intensive, costly, and inefficient, with a long overall balancing time. Active balancing requires sophisticated chip design and has expensive management systems, making them unsuitable for high-efficiency battery balancing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art and propose a control and design method for an adaptive current control circuit of a parallel battery cluster, thereby reducing the output inductor current and the voltage ripple rate of the series capacitor, and thus better achieving circulating current suppression and state of charge balance of the parallel battery cluster.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A control and design method for an adaptive current control circuit for parallel battery clusters is disclosed. The parallel battery cluster balancing circuit topology consists of battery clusters, series capacitors, bidirectional converters, and bidirectional DC / DC converters. The control method is as follows: when current or state of charge imbalance occurs between different parallel battery clusters, the current flow direction of the parallel battery cluster balancing circuit is controlled according to the upper-level control command. The power of the controlled parallel loop is transferred to other parallel loops through the parallel battery cluster balancing circuit, thereby realizing the suppression of circulating current and the balancing control of the state of charge among the battery clusters.

[0008] After equalization control, the parameters of the output inductor and series capacitor of the bidirectional converter with parallel battery clusters are obtained based on the inductor current ripple rate and capacitor voltage ripple rate; at the same time, the switching transistors are selected based on the voltage and current stress of the bidirectional converter switching transistors.

[0009] Furthermore, the bidirectional converter is a composite chopper circuit with a load short-circuit switch.

[0010] Furthermore, the circulation suppression and state-of-charge equalization control are specifically as follows:

[0011] The parallel battery cluster balancing circuit learns the reference current of each battery cluster from the instructions of the superior unit. Then, based on the relationship between the current reference value and the actual output current value of the battery cluster, it controls the polarity of the output voltage of the corresponding series capacitor, thereby controlling the direction of power flow between parallel circuits. It transfers part of the power of the parallel circuit to other parallel circuits through the bidirectional converter and the intermediate bus, thereby achieving circulating current suppression or state of charge balancing of each battery cluster.

[0012] Furthermore, series capacitors C1, C2, ..., C N When the required output voltage is positive, the current reference value of the battery cluster is compared with the sampled current value. The difference is then compared with a triangular carrier wave after passing through a PI regulator, and finally the first switch S of the composite chopper circuit is obtained. i1 Second switch S i2 Third switch S i3 Fourth switch S i4 Drive signal, where the third switch S i3 During this process, the fourth switch S remains off. i4 During this process, the first switch S remains on. i1 Second switch S i2 Based on the modulation result, complementary conduction occurs, with the duty cycle being the first duty cycle D1, thereby controlling the series voltage source U. C1 U C2 ... U CN The average voltage over one cycle is positive.

[0013] Furthermore, when the output voltage of the series capacitor is positive, the parameter design of the bidirectional converter includes the following steps:

[0014] Calculate the series capacitors C1, C2, ..., C based on the battery output current reference value. n Average voltage U C1 =I ref1 ·R eq -U Boc +U o ;

[0015] The output power of the corresponding bidirectional converter can be determined based on the series capacitor voltage value and the corresponding battery cluster output current reference value.

[0016] The duty cycle of the bidirectional converter can be determined based on the voltage values ​​of the intermediate bus capacitor and the series capacitor.

[0017] Based on the ampere-second balance principle of inductor current, the peak-to-peak value of inductor current fluctuation and the minimum inductance value are obtained as follows:

[0018]

[0019] Calculate the peak-to-peak value of the capacitor voltage fluctuation based on the capacitor current, and then determine the minimum capacitance value of the series capacitor:

[0021] The switching transistor is selected based on the inductor current and the intermediate bus voltage.

[0022] Furthermore, series capacitors C1, C2, ..., C N When the required output voltage is negative, the current reference value of the battery cluster is compared with the sampled current value. The difference is then compared with a triangular carrier wave after passing through a PI regulator, and finally the first switch S of the composite chopper circuit is obtained. i1 Second switch S i2 Third switch S i3 Fourth switch S i4 Drive signal, wherein the first switch S i1 During this process, the second switch S remains off. i2 During this process, the third switch S remains on. i3 Fourth switch S i4 Based on the complementary conduction of the modulation result, the duty cycle is the second duty cycle D2, thereby controlling the series capacitors C1, C2, ..., C N The average voltage over one cycle is negative.

[0023] Furthermore, when the output voltage of the series capacitor is negative, the parameter design of the bidirectional converter includes the following steps:

[0032] Furthermore, when series capacitors C1, C2, ..., C... n When the output voltage is zero, the current or state of charge of the corresponding battery cluster does not need to be balanced, and the corresponding load short-circuit switch is turned on.

[0033] Furthermore, the reference value of the intermediate bus capacitor voltage is compared with the sampled actual intermediate capacitor voltage value. The result is processed by a PI regulator to obtain the reference current value required for balancing the intermediate bus capacitor voltage. This reference current value is then provided to the bidirectional DC / DC converter to stabilize the intermediate bus capacitor voltage. Finally, this reference current value is compared with the actual current value of the bidirectional DC / DC converter, and the PI regulator is used to obtain the drive signal for the bidirectional DC / DC converter. This ensures that the fluctuation amplitude of the intermediate bus capacitor voltage is zero during system operation, satisfying the equation...

[0034] Furthermore, comparing the minimum inductance and capacitance design values ​​for the first, second, ..., nth bidirectional converters when the series capacitors are of positive and negative polarity, the larger value is selected as the minimum standard for inductance and capacitance design:

[0044] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0045] Example

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a control and design method for an adaptive current control circuit of a parallel battery cluster, comprising:

[0047] The parallel battery cluster balancing circuit topology consists of battery clusters, series capacitors, bidirectional converters, and bidirectional DC / DC converters. The control method is as follows: when there is an imbalance in current or state of charge between different parallel battery clusters, the balancing circuit will obtain the reference current value of each battery cluster according to the instructions from the upper level. Then, based on the relationship between the current reference value and the actual output current value of the battery cluster, it will control the polarity of the output voltage of the corresponding series capacitor, thereby controlling the direction of power flow between parallel circuits. The power of some parallel circuits will be transferred to other parallel circuits through the bidirectional converter and the intermediate bus, thereby achieving circulating current suppression or state of charge balancing of each battery cluster.

[0048] After equalization control, the parameters of the output inductor and series capacitor of the bidirectional converter with parallel battery clusters are obtained based on the inductor current ripple rate and capacitor voltage ripple rate; at the same time, the switching transistors are selected based on the voltage and current stress of the bidirectional converter switching transistors.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, when there is an imbalance in the state of charge or current among the battery clusters, by controlling the switching of the switching transistors in each bidirectional converter and the bidirectional DC / DC converter, the power of some parallel circuits can be transferred to other parallel circuits through the common output bus of the parallel battery clusters. This achieves the suppression of circulating current and the balance of the state of charge among the battery clusters. For circuits that do not require current or state of charge balancing, it is only necessary to turn on the load short-circuit switch of the bidirectional converter of the module and turn on and off the relevant switching transistors to achieve the blocking of the battery cluster.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the reference value of the intermediate bus capacitor voltage is compared with the sampled actual voltage value. The result is passed through a PI regulator to obtain the reference value of the current required to balance the intermediate bus capacitor voltage. Then, it is given to the bidirectional DC / DC converter to stabilize the current value required to stabilize the intermediate bus capacitor voltage. The result is then compared with the actual current value to obtain the drive signal of the bidirectional DC / DC converter, thereby maintaining the intermediate bus capacitor voltage fluctuation amplitude at zero during system operation.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, when capacitors C1, C2, ..., C are connected in series... N When the required output voltage is positive, simply compare the current reference value of the battery cluster with the sum of the sampled current value and the additional current reference value required for each parallel battery cluster to maintain the voltage balance of the intermediate bus. The difference is then compared with the triangular carrier wave after passing through the PI regulator to obtain the first switch S of the composite chopper circuit. i1 Second switch S i2 Third switch S i3 Fourth switch S i4 Drive signal, where the third switch S i3 During this process, the fourth switch S remains off. i4 During this process, the first switch S remains on. i1 Second switch S i2 The first switch S is turned on complementaryly according to the modulation result. i1 The duty cycle is D1, thereby controlling the series capacitors C1, C2, ..., C N The average voltage over one cycle is positive.

[0052] like Figure 1As shown, the bidirectional converter is a composite chopper circuit with a load short-circuit switch. When the series capacitors C1, C2, ..., C... N When the required output voltage is negative, simply compare the current reference value of the battery cluster with the sum of the sampled current value and the additional current reference value required for each parallel battery cluster to maintain the voltage balance of the intermediate bus. The difference is then compared with the triangular carrier wave after passing through the PI regulator, and finally obtains the first switch S of the composite chopper circuit. i1 Second switch S i2 Third switch S i3 Fourth switch S i4 Drive signal, wherein the first switch S i1 During this process, the second switch S remains off. i2 During this process, the third switch S remains on. i3 Fourth switch S i4 Based on the complementary conduction of the modulation result, the duty cycle is D2, thereby controlling the series capacitors C1, C2, ..., C N The average voltage over one cycle is negative.

[0053] When capacitors C1, C2, ..., C are connected in series... N When the required output voltage is zero, i.e., when the battery cluster does not require current or state-of-charge equalization control, only the fifth switch M of the composite chopper circuit needs to be controlled. i Enabling this will enable the blocking of the connected bidirectional converters, allowing the series capacitors C1, C2, ..., C to... N The output voltage is zero, thus preventing power balancing in the parallel circuit.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reference value of the intermediate bus capacitor voltage is compared with the sampled actual voltage value. The result is passed through a PI regulator to obtain the reference current value required for balancing the intermediate bus capacitor voltage. This reference current value is then given to the bidirectional DC / DC converter to stabilize the intermediate bus capacitor voltage. The reference current value is then compared with the actual current value to obtain the drive signal for the bidirectional DC / DC converter. This ensures that the fluctuation amplitude of the intermediate bus capacitor voltage is zero during system operation, satisfying the equation...
