Abstract

This invention discloses a State of Charge (SOC) calibration method based on voltage acquisition error margin. First, it determines whether the battery has been in a long-term static state. Calculations are performed for different states, and if the SOC is greater than a certain value and less than a certain value, the current SOC is within the allowable error range, therefore no SOC correction is needed, and the system returns to the static battery assessment. If the SOC is less than a certain value, the current SOC is significantly low, so the SOC is corrected upwards, and the system returns to the static battery assessment. If the SOC is greater than a certain value, the current SOC is significantly high, so the SOC is corrected downwards, and the system returns to the static battery assessment. This method can correct the SOC to a reasonable range when it significantly deviates from the allowable estimation error, thereby improving the SOC estimation accuracy.

[0002] The State of Charge (SOC) of a lithium battery is a crucial parameter characterizing its remaining energy, significantly impacting users' assessment of a device's or vehicle's range. However, SOC is not a parameter that can be directly measured. First, battery parameters need to be measured, and then these parameters need to be calculated to obtain the SOC. Therefore, the accuracy of battery parameter measurements directly affects the accuracy of SOC estimation. Among these parameters, battery voltage is a critical one affecting the accuracy of SOC estimation.

[0039] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, a SOC calibration method based on voltage acquisition error margin includes the following steps:

[0041] S1 determines whether the battery has been left idle for a long time;

[0042] If the battery does not meet the resting conditions, S2 will calculate using the ampere-hour integration algorithm. and update the SOC to Then return to the static judgment;

[0047]

[0048]

[0049] S5 determines the current SOC and and Relationship;

[0050] S6 If SOC is greater than And SOC is less than This indicates that the current SOC is within the allowable error range, therefore no correction is needed for the SOC, and the system returns to the battery rest judgment.

[0051] S7 If SOC is less than This indicates that the current SOC is significantly low, therefore the SOC will be adjusted upwards. It then returns to the battery resting state for judgment;

[0052] S8 If SOC is greater than This indicates that the current SOC is significantly too high, therefore the SOC will be adjusted downwards. It then returns a judgment on battery rest.

[0053] In step S2, the ampere-hour integration algorithm is as follows:

[0054]

[0055] in Indicates the initial ; express Current at any given moment; This indicates the battery capacity.

[0056] In step S4, the OCV lookup table method is as follows:

[0057]

[0058] in This indicates the battery's open-circuit voltage, which is the stable voltage of the battery after it has been left undisturbed for a long time.

[0059] Combination Figure 2-3 Specifically, the test involves comparing theoretical values ​​with theoretical values, and the test steps are as follows:

[0060] Step 1: Fully charge the battery to SOC=100%;

[0061] Step 2: Use high-precision testing equipment to perform a discharge test on the battery, collect and record key data during the test; the battery BMS simultaneously collects key data, performs calculations, and records the key data and calculation results.

[0062] Step 3: Export the data recorded by both the high-precision testing equipment and the BMS, and perform calculations and comparisons.

[0063] Step 2 is further divided into the following steps:

[0064] Step 2.1, using a preset current value Perform a discharge test on the battery until the preset stopping conditions are met. ;

[0065] Step 2.2: Pause the discharge process to allow the battery to enter a resting state, and continue... Duration;

[0069] Through comparative calculations, the SOC calibration method based on voltage acquisition error margin proposed in this patent can reduce the average SOC deviation by 64.9% after triggering the SOC calibration conditions, which greatly improves the estimation accuracy of SOC.

[0070] Due to factors such as sensor acquisition accuracy or the presence of undetectable additional power consumption current in the system, the deviation between the calculated SOC and the actual SOC gradually increases over time. When the SOC correction conditions proposed in this invention are met, the SOC is corrected towards the true value, reducing the error between the two.

[0071] By determining whether the battery has been idle for an extended period, the State of Charge (SOC) estimation is divided into two modes. When the battery has not been idle for an extended period, the ampere-hour integration method is used to estimate the battery's SOC; when the battery has been idle for an extended period, the OCV lookup table method is used for SOC correction. These two methods are combined based on the determination of whether the battery has been idle for an extended period, resulting in higher SOC estimation accuracy than using a single method.

[0072] By introducing the influence of voltage sensor acquisition error and combining it with the currently acquired battery voltage, the battery voltage range within the allowable error range is defined.

[0073] Based on the allowable battery voltage range, the permissible SOC range is calculated using the OCV lookup table method. If the current SOC is outside the permissible range, it is corrected to the corresponding range boundary value.

[0074] The method of this invention corrects the SOC to a reasonable range when the SOC deviates significantly from the allowable estimation error, thereby improving the accuracy of SOC estimation.
