[0036] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the following embodiments and accompanying drawings specifically illustrate a ternary lithium-lithium iron phosphate hybrid battery pack equalization method of the present invention.

[0037] In this embodiment, a ternary lithium-lithium iron phosphate hybrid battery pack balancing method is provided.

[0038] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of a ternary lithium-lithium iron phosphate hybrid battery pack balancing method in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the hybrid battery pack includes N ternary lithium battery cells and N lithium iron phosphate battery cells, and the ternary lithium battery cells and the lithium iron phosphate battery cells are connected in series. In this embodiment, the battery pack includes 4 ternary lithium battery cells and 4 lithium iron phosphate battery cells. The ternary lithium-lithium iron phosphate hybrid battery pack balancing method involved in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0040] Step S1: During the charging process, the voltage thresholds U are set for the batteries of the two systems. T_NCM and U T_LFP .

[0041] When setting the voltage threshold U T_NCM and U T_LFP When the upper and lower cut-off voltage ranges of the two system battery cells are different, it is necessary to monitor the charging voltage of each system cell separately. Therefore, the ternary lithium battery and the lithium iron phosphate battery select part of the charging voltage curve respectively. The setting standard of the lithium iron phosphate battery system is after the plateau period. In this embodiment, U T_NCM =3.75V (volts) and U T_LFP =3.35V (volts).

[0042] Step S2, when the charging voltage U NCM,i and U LFP,i Respectively greater than or equal to the voltage threshold U of each system T_NCM and U T_LFP When the charging current integral of the single cell is calculated, the charging current integral of each single cell of the two systems is obtained until the charging is completed. NCM,i and Q LFP,i .

[0043] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the configuration of a ternary lithium-lithium iron phosphate battery pack in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] Since the upper and lower cut-off voltage ranges of the two systems’ battery cells are different, it is necessary to monitor the charging voltage of each system’s cells separately. Figure 2 As shown, the charge and discharge termination states of the ternary lithium-lithium iron phosphate hybrid battery pack are respectively recorded as the charge termination state S PN,F and discharge cut-off state S PL,E In the original configuration of this example, the ternary lithium battery and the lithium iron phosphate battery respectively control the emptying and full charging states of the battery pack.

[0045] However, in the actual use of the hybrid battery pack, the charging current is not always fixed and sometimes changes with the working conditions. Therefore, it is more accurate to estimate the charging capacity by integrating the current.

[0046] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of charging current integration of a ternary lithium battery system in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the partial charging voltage curve of the four ternary lithium monomers in the ternary lithium-lithium iron phosphate battery pack adopts the constant current charging method. If the battery pack is charged, then the threshold value of the ternary lithium monomer in the hybrid battery pack at the end of charging can be expressed as:

[0048]

[0049] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of charging current integration of a lithium iron phosphate battery system in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown in Figure 1, the partial charging voltage curve of the four lithium iron phosphate monomers in the ternary lithium-lithium iron phosphate battery pack adopts a constant current charging method. If the battery pack is charged, then the lithium iron phosphate monomer in the hybrid battery pack reaches the threshold value at the end of charging, which can be expressed as:

[0051]

[0052] Where I is the battery pack charging current, t e The end time of charging the hybrid battery pack, t N,s , t L,s are the moments corresponding to the voltage thresholds of ternary lithium and lithium iron phosphate, respectively, Q NCM,i is the charge capacity of the ternary lithium monomer, Q LFP,i is the charging capacity of the i-th lithium iron phosphate monomer.

[0053] Step S3, respectively select the cells with the smallest charge capacity in the two system batteries, and make their corresponding charge capacity Q NCM,i and Q LFP,i Difference is made to obtain the difference in charging capacity Q of different-shaped cells. D, and use it as the control target for balancing the heterogeneous cells of the hybrid battery pack, and iterate the charging power difference at the end of the next charge to obtain the iterative result.

[0054] In addition, the ternary lithium-lithium iron phosphate hybrid battery components are divided into the same type of battery cell balancing and the different type of battery cell balancing. For the same type of battery cell balancing, the balancing algorithm with the same remaining charge capacity is used to control the balancing channel. This embodiment mainly discusses the different type of battery cell balancing, specifically:

[0055] Select the monomer with the smallest charge in the two systems as the difference, and its value can be expressed as:

[0056] Q D =min(Q LFP,i )-min(Q NCM,i )

[0057] In the formula, min(Q LFP,i ) is the lithium iron phosphate monomer with the smallest charge capacity in the hybrid battery pack, min(Q NCM,i ) is the ternary lithium monomer with the smallest charge capacity in the hybrid battery pack, Q D It is the difference in charging capacity of different-shaped batteries.

[0058] The difference in charging capacity of heterogeneous cells can be expressed as follows:

[0059] Q e =Q D,0 -Q D,i

[0060] In the formula, Q D,0 is the difference in initial charge capacity of heterogeneous cells under the original configuration of the hybrid battery pack, Q D,i is the difference in charge capacity recorded at the end of the i-th charge between cells of different shapes, Q e It is the theoretical target balanced charge of special-shaped batteries.

[0061] To prevent over-balancing, the over-balancing coefficient K should be selected, and K < 1, that is, the target balanced discharge power Q E for:

[0062] Q E =KQ e .

[0063] Step S4: taking the iteration result as the target balanced discharge power Q E .

[0064] Step S5: Feedback the charging power difference Q of the heterogeneous cells according to the heterogeneous difference state observer D Estimate the difference in charge capacity Q between the different-shaped cells and determine whether the difference is caused by natural evolution. D Increase or decrease.

[0065] In actual situations, since the charge changes of each monomer in the series hybrid battery pack are not completely consistent, and the self-discharge rate, aging rate and other characteristics of the ternary lithium battery system and the lithium iron phosphate battery system are different, the batteries of each system show different attenuation rates, resulting in a difference in charging capacity Q between different-shaped cells. D In this embodiment, the cell attenuation caused by self-discharge is mainly considered.

[0066] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of balancing correction of special-shaped cells in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in the hybrid battery pack, if the attenuation of the ternary lithium battery system is greater than that of the lithium iron phosphate battery system, the discharge cut-off state S of the ternary lithium battery system PN,E Compared with the original configuration, it shifts upward; the charging cut-off state S of the lithium iron phosphate battery system PL,F Compared with the original configuration, it shifts downward, resulting in a difference in charging capacity Q between different-shaped cells. D On the contrary, if the attenuation of the lithium iron phosphate battery system is greater than that of the ternary lithium battery system, the discharge cut-off state S of the ternary lithium battery system PN,E Compared with the original configuration, it shifts downward. The charging cut-off state S of the lithium iron phosphate battery system PL,F Compared with the original configuration, it shifts upward, resulting in a difference in charging capacity Q between different-shaped cells. D If no equalization correction is made to maintain a stable charge difference Q D , which will reduce the output energy of the hybrid battery pack, resulting in a significant reduction in the mileage of pure electric vehicles.

[0068] Step S6: Set the target balanced discharge capacity Q E The difference between the discharge balance capacity of the corresponding battery system and the balance resistance in each sampling period Δt is iterated.

[0069] Among them, the target balanced discharge capacity Q E The difference between the discharge balance capacity of the corresponding battery system's balance resistor in each sampling period Δt is expressed as:

[0070] Q E,i+1 =Q E,i -I E ·Δt

[0071] In the formula, Q E,i is the target balanced power between heterogeneous cells in the battery pack in the i-th sampling cycle, I E is the vector of balanced currents of each monomer, Δt is the duration of each sampling cycle, Q E,i+1It is the target balanced power among the heterogeneous cells in the i+1th sampling period.

[0072] Step S7, based on the difference and the set value Q d , and judge whether the hybrid battery pack performs the balancing operation of the heterogeneous cells, thereby controlling the opening or closing of the balancing controller. d Take 5mAh

[0073] According to the ternary lithium-lithium iron phosphate hybrid battery pack balancing method of an embodiment of the present invention, after the hybrid battery pack performs balancing of the heterogeneous battery cells, the available capacity and power range of the heterogeneous battery cell configuration is readjusted, and the power difference between the heterogeneous battery cells is maintained, thereby stabilizing or less attenuating the energy output expectation of the hybrid battery pack.
