Description

[0002] With the rapid development of the vehicle field, the low-temperature power performance of the power battery system has received increasing attention. The quality of the low-temperature power retention rate of the system entirely depends on how many pulse peaks can pass under this condition. For each additional peak, it is basically possible to discharge 1 - 3 kWh more.

The average multiple of such working conditions is not high, but the pulse peak power is prominent. When the battery system is at low temperature and low SOC (State of Charge), when passing through the peak of the working condition, the minimum voltage of the single cell is often pulled down to the discharge cut-off voltage, resulting in the termination of the test, and then the low-temperature power of the system is measured.

[0043] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0044] The method, device, equipment, and storage medium for optimizing a battery system of a vehicle according to embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Before introducing the method, device, equipment, and storage medium for optimizing a battery system of a vehicle according to embodiments of the present application, a specific embodiment will be used to illustrate in detail the problems to be solved by the present application.

[0046] Specifically, for a power battery system of a certain project, during the low-temperature discharge test, it is basically in a low SOC and low-temperature state. When passing the pulse power in the time period of 1600s to 1700s, the discharge is terminated because the cell voltages of Cell No. 9 and Cell No. 10 trigger the discharge cut-off voltage. Through actual data analysis, Cell No. 9 and Cell No. 10 are the lowest temperature areas of the system. Under large pulses, due to their large internal resistance, the voltages of Cell No. 9 and Cell No. 10 are pulled down by nearly 1000 mV. Therefore, it can be determined that Cell No. 9 and Cell No. 10 are the short boards of the entire system. Whether these cells can withstand the power spike determines how much electricity the system can discharge. Through the horizontal analysis of the low-temperature data, it is found that at low temperatures, both Cell No. 9 and Cell No. 10 are the lowest temperature points. Due to the low temperature, the internal resistance is high, and at the end of the low-temperature discharge, the discharge is terminated because the cell voltages of Cell No. 9 and Cell No. 10 trigger the cut-off voltage.

[0047] Therefore, how to solve the end plate problems such as Cell No. 9 and Cell No. 10 in a battery system determines the level of the low-temperature battery power retention rate of the system. Thus, the present application provides an optimization method for the battery system of a vehicle. In this method, the thermal field simulation of the discharge mode of the battery system under low-temperature conditions can be carried out according to the three-dimensional structure and thermal management scheme of the battery system, to determine the lowest temperature area and the highest temperature area in the battery system, calculate the actual temperature difference between the lowest temperature area and the highest temperature area, calculate the minimum assembly capacity corresponding to the lowest temperature area according to the actual temperature difference, and perform battery assembly on the battery system with the minimum assembly capacity, so as to optimize the low-temperature discharge capacity of the battery system to meet the preset conditions. Thus, by identifying the high-capacity cell assembly at special positions, the problem of internal resistance difference introduced by the lowest temperature difference under the low-temperature discharge condition of the system is compensated, and finally the low-temperature discharge capacity of the system can be directly optimized, solving the problem that the experiment is terminated due to the cell voltage in the lowest temperature area triggering the lower limit, and improving the performance of the battery system.

[0048] Specifically, Figure 1 is a schematic flow chart of an optimization method for the battery system of a vehicle provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0049] As Figure 1 shown, the optimization method for the battery system of the vehicle includes the following steps:

[0050] In step S101, according to the three-dimensional structure and thermal management scheme of the battery system, the thermal field simulation of the discharge mode of the battery system under low-temperature conditions is carried out to determine the lowest temperature area and the highest temperature area in the battery system.

[0051] Specifically, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, embodiments of the present application can perform three-dimensional temperature field simulation (such as CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation) based on the three-dimensional dimensions of the battery system. The simulation process requires being carried out under low-temperature environmental boundaries to simulate low-temperature vehicle road tests, load air convection, and determine the lowest temperature region and the highest temperature region in the battery system after the simulation.

[0052] In step S102, calculate the actual temperature difference between the lowest temperature region and the highest temperature region, and calculate the minimum assembly capacity corresponding to the lowest temperature region according to the actual temperature difference.

[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments, calculating the actual temperature difference between the lowest temperature region and the highest temperature region includes: determining the temperature field distribution of the battery system according to the simulation results; obtaining the actual temperature difference between the lowest temperature region and the highest temperature region based on the temperature field distribution.

[0054] That is to say, embodiments of the present application can determine the temperature difference between the lowest temperature region and the highest temperature region based on the simulated temperature field distribution.

[0055] Optionally, in some embodiments, calculating the minimum assembly capacity corresponding to the lowest temperature region according to the actual temperature difference includes: obtaining the test grading corresponding to the off-line capacity and internal resistance of the battery cells of the battery system; determining the DC internal resistance matrix of the battery cells at different temperatures and different SOCs from the test grading, and determining the minimum assembly capacity in combination with the temperature difference.

[0056] Specifically, embodiments of the present application can perform test grading on the off-line capacity and internal resistance of the battery cells for the first time. According to the maximum temperature difference (i.e., the actual temperature difference between the lowest temperature region and the highest temperature region) calculated above, in combination with the DC internal resistance matrix of the battery cells at different temperatures and different SOCs, estimate the minimum capacity of the battery cells that need to be assembled in the lowest temperature region. It should be noted that when estimating the minimum capacity of the battery cells that need to be assembled in the lowest temperature region according to the DC internal resistance matrix of the battery cells at different temperatures and different SOCs, methods in related technologies can be used. To avoid redundancy, no detailed description is given here.

[0057] In step S103, perform battery assembly on the battery system with the minimum assembly capacity, and optimize the low-temperature discharge capacity of the battery system to meet the preset conditions.

[0058] Optionally, in some embodiments, performing battery assembly on the battery system with the minimum assembly capacity includes: increasing the minimum assembly capacity of the cell capacity of at least one single battery corresponding to the lowest temperature region to the target minimum assembly capacity of the preset conditions; or, setting a heating device for the lowest temperature region so that the cell capacity of at least one single battery corresponding to the lowest temperature region reaches the target minimum assembly capacity.

[0059] Among them, the target minimum assembly capacity of the preset condition can be the minimum assembly capacity preset by the user, the minimum assembly capacity obtained through a finite number of experiments, or the minimum assembly capacity obtained through a finite number of computer simulations. No specific limitation is made here.

[0060] Specifically, when assembling the battery system in the embodiments of the present application, the high-capacity and low-internal-resistance battery cells sorted according to requirements are assembled into the low-temperature area determined by the previous simulation to optimize the low-temperature discharge capacity of the system. The main purpose is to minimize the internal resistance of the battery cells at the discharge end of the lowest temperature area after the system is grouped through special previous grouping, improve the lowest voltage when the system has a low-temperature and low-SOC pulse overpeak, and improve the discharge capacity of the system, thereby solving or weakening the short-board problem caused by the local low temperature inside the system.

[0061] For example, as Figure 2 shown, assume that initially both Cell1 and Cell2 are at 10% SOC and 0.5 mΩ. After matching the battery cell capacities, if the battery capacity of Ce113 is adjusted to 15% SOC and 2.5 mΩ, that is, the minimum assembly capacity of the battery cell capacity of at least one single battery corresponding to the lowest temperature area is increased to the target minimum assembly capacity of the preset condition as described above.

[0062] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application can be solved by performing differential heating outside the battery cells or modules in the identified low-temperature area. The differential heating method includes but is not limited to: separately adding a heating element to the module or battery cell in this area, or separately increasing the heating power of the heating element in this area, so that the battery cell capacity of at least one single battery corresponding to the lowest temperature area reaches the target minimum assembly capacity.

[0063] To enable those skilled in the art to further understand the battery system optimization method of the embodiments of the present application, the following will be described in detail with specific embodiments.

[0064] As Figure 3 shown, the battery system optimization method of this vehicle includes the following steps:

[0065] S301, perform three-dimensional temperature field simulation according to the three-dimensional dimensions of the battery system.

[0066] S302, determine the lowest temperature area and the temperature difference after the simulation.

[0067] S303, calculate the internal resistance of the battery cells.

[0068] S304, calculate the battery cell capacity specification.

[0069] S305, perform battery cell capacity grading.

[0070] S306, Battery module and system assembly.

[0071] Specifically, assume that through simulation, the lowest temperature area and the highest temperature area in the battery system are determined to be cell 1 and cell 16 (as shown by Cell1 and Cell16 in Figure 4 ). Since the DC internal resistance of the cell increases with the decrease of temperature and also increases with the decrease of SOC, according to the DCR (Directive Current Resistance) matrix of this type of cell at various temperatures and SOCs, the internal resistance differences between cell 1 and cell 16 and other cells can be calculated. This internal resistance difference is sharply amplified at the end of discharge. Eventually, due to the excessive internal resistance of cell 1 and cell 16, the voltage is first pulled below the cut-off voltage, resulting in the termination of the battery system discharge. To optimize this problem, in the embodiments of the present application, the capacity of cell 1 and cell 16 can be designed to minimize the internal resistance difference caused by the temperature difference. That is, by increasing the capacity of cell 1 and cell 16, at the end of discharge, when the same capacity is discharged, the SOC of this cell is relatively high. Through the characteristic that a high SOC results in a low internal resistance, cells 1 and 16 are controlled within the average range. Finally, it is ensured that when the system discharges to the end, it will not trigger the cut-off voltage due to excessive internal resistance, thereby improving the discharge capacity of the system.

[0072] According to the battery system optimization method for a vehicle proposed in the embodiments of the present application, the thermal field simulation of the discharge mode of the battery system under low-temperature conditions can be performed according to the three-dimensional structure and thermal management scheme of the battery system, to determine the lowest temperature area and the highest temperature area in the battery system, calculate the actual temperature difference between the lowest temperature area and the highest temperature area, calculate the minimum assembly capacity corresponding to the lowest temperature area according to the actual temperature difference, and perform battery assembly on the battery system with the minimum assembly capacity, so as to optimize the low-temperature discharge capacity of the battery system to meet the preset conditions. Thus, by identifying the assembly of high-capacity cells at special positions, the problem of internal resistance difference introduced by the lowest temperature difference under the low-temperature discharge condition of the system is compensated, and finally the low-temperature discharge capacity of the system can be directly optimized, solving the problem that the experiment is terminated due to the voltage of the cells in the lowest temperature area triggering the lower limit in the battery system, and improving the performance of the battery system.

[0073] Next, a battery system optimization device for a vehicle proposed in the embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] Figure 5 It is a block diagram of a battery system optimization device for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0076] Among them, the determination module 100 is configured to perform a thermal field simulation on the discharge mode of the battery system under low-temperature conditions according to the three-dimensional structure and thermal management solution of the battery system, and determine the lowest temperature area and the highest temperature area in the battery system;

[0079] Optionally, the calculation module 200 is specifically configured to:

[0080] Determine the temperature field distribution of the battery system according to the simulation results;

[0081] Obtain the actual temperature difference between the lowest temperature area and the highest temperature area based on the temperature field distribution.

[0082] Optionally, the calculation module 200 is specifically configured to:

[0083] Obtain the test grading corresponding to the off-line capacity and internal resistance of the battery cells of the battery system;

[0085] Optionally, the optimization module 300 is specifically configured to:

[0086] Increase the minimum assembly capacity of the cell capacity of at least one single battery corresponding to the lowest temperature area to the target minimum assembly capacity of the preset condition;

[0087] Alternatively, a heating device is set for the lowest temperature area, so that the cell capacity of at least one single battery corresponding to the lowest temperature area reaches the target minimum assembly capacity.

[0088] It should be noted that the foregoing explanation of the embodiments of the method for optimizing the battery system of a vehicle is also applicable to the device for optimizing the battery system of the vehicle in this embodiment, and will not be elaborated here.

Thus, by identifying the assembly of high-capacity battery cells at special positions, the problem of internal resistance difference introduced by the lowest temperature difference under low-temperature discharge conditions of the system is compensated, and finally the low-temperature discharge capacity of the system can be directly optimized, solving the problem that the experiment is terminated due to the voltage of the battery cells in the lowest temperature region triggering the lower limit, and improving the performance of the battery system.
