Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for heat dissipation control of lithium-ion battery packs, belonging to the field of battery aging status identification and battery thermal management technology. Background Technology
[0002] The internal working mechanism of lithium-ion battery packs originates from electrochemical reactions. During these reactions, electrochemical heat generation is inevitable, and the battery pack temperature fluctuates under the influence of its own heat generation and external heat dissipation conditions. Simultaneously, factors such as internal resistance, charge / discharge rate, and reaction rate further affect the heat generation of the battery pack. Therefore, a coupling phenomenon exists where electricity generates heat, and heat alters electricity during operation. Excessively high battery temperatures accelerate battery aging, and in extreme cases, may even lead to thermal runaway, fire, and explosion. Conversely, excessively low battery temperatures increase internal resistance and reduce the electrochemical reaction rate, resulting in a significant decrease in the battery's discharge capacity.
[0003] To ensure the safety of aged batteries during use and to fully guarantee their lifespan and performance, an efficient battery thermal management system and a reasonable cooling strategy are crucial. Research revealed that methods for establishing battery thermal models are relatively mature, and preliminary explorations have been made into the heat generation and temperature changes of aged batteries. However, studies considering the temperature field distribution for consistent aging are relatively limited. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a method for heat dissipation control of lithium-ion battery packs, which solves the problems of overheating during use caused by increased internal resistance after battery aging, which accelerates battery aging and leads to safety accidents.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A method for heat dissipation control of lithium-ion battery packs:
[0007] The temperature of all individual cells at the end of the battery pack discharge is collected. The highest temperature of the individual cells is taken as the highest temperature of the battery pack at the end of the discharge, and the maximum temperature difference between the individual cells is taken as the maximum temperature difference of the battery pack at the end of the discharge.
[0008] If the highest temperature and maximum temperature difference at the end of battery discharge are not within the set ideal range, then the pre-built battery heat dissipation model is used to conduct simulation tests by gradually increasing the inlet wind speed of the battery heat dissipation cooling structure to obtain the inlet wind speed corresponding to the highest temperature and maximum temperature difference at the end of battery discharge within the set ideal range, and the inlet wind speed of the battery heat dissipation cooling structure is adjusted to the inlet wind speed obtained from the simulation test.
[0009] If increasing the inlet air velocity of the battery pack heat dissipation cooling structure to its maximum value still cannot bring the highest temperature and maximum temperature difference at the end of the battery pack discharge into the set ideal range, then the battery pack discharge rate will be gradually reduced for simulation testing to obtain the battery pack discharge rate that brings the highest temperature and maximum temperature difference at the end of the battery pack discharge into the set ideal range.
[0010] Adjust the battery pack's discharge rate to the discharge rate obtained from the simulation test.
[0011] Furthermore, the battery pack heat dissipation model includes a battery internal resistance test model, and the construction process of the battery internal resistance test model includes:
[0012] A battery pack of the same model as the lithium-ion battery pack was subjected to different number of aging cycle tests. Charging experiments were conducted on the brand-new battery pack of the same model and the battery pack under different number of aging cycle tests. The internal resistance of the battery pack was measured every 5% increase in SOC. The internal resistance-SOC curve of the battery pack under different aging states was obtained by fitting. The current aging state of the battery pack was characterized by the internal resistance of the battery pack.
[0013] Furthermore, the battery pack heat dissipation model includes a battery pack thermal-electric coupling model. This thermal-electric coupling model uses a hybrid pulse power test experiment to identify the parameters of the battery's equivalent circuit model, including:
[0014] Discharge the battery pack and charge it fully using a constant current and constant voltage charging method with a 1C charging current and a 0.05C cutoff current.
[0015] Discharge the battery pack at 1C for 10 seconds, let it rest for 40 seconds, then charge it at 1C for 10 seconds. After that, let it rest for 1 hour. Repeat this step a predetermined number of times.
[0016] Collect battery pack charge and discharge data to obtain battery pack test current curves and response voltage curves;
[0017] The parameters of the battery equivalent circuit model are determined based on the battery pack test current curve and response voltage curve.
[0018] Furthermore, the process of calculating the battery pack temperature using the battery pack thermal-electric coupling model is as follows:
[0019] Given the initial temperature T of the battery pack init In this case, combined with the already determined equivalent circuit parameters R0 and R of the lithium-ion battery p and C p The heat generation power of the battery pack is calculated based on the heat generation formula, and the battery pack temperature T is obtained through the heat transfer equation of the battery pack. batt ,in:
[0020] The heat generation formula of the battery pack is:

[0040] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0041] This invention discloses a method for heat dissipation control of a lithium-ion battery pack, comprising the following steps:
[0042] Step 1: Conduct 500 cycle tests on the battery. Take a brand new battery and batteries that have undergone 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400 and 500 cycles of aging test respectively for charging experiments. Measure the battery’s internal resistance in ohms for every 5% increase in SOC and fit the internal resistance-SOC curve of the battery in different aging states.
[0043] Step 2: Establish a battery thermal-electric coupling model and use the Hybrid Pulse Power Characteristic (HPPC) test experiment to identify the battery equivalent circuit model parameters, and construct a finite element thermal simulation model of the battery pack;
[0044] Step 3: The temperature distribution of the battery pack was tested from three aspects: inlet wind speed, discharge rate, and aging degree. Simulation results showed a negative correlation between inlet wind speed and the maximum temperature difference and highest temperature of the battery pack; while the discharge rate of the battery pack was positively correlated with both the maximum temperature difference and highest temperature. For battery packs with synchronized aging, the maximum temperature and maximum temperature difference increased with increasing aging degree. However, for battery packs with inconsistent aging, the maximum temperature and maximum temperature difference showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing with increasing dispersion in inconsistent aging.
[0045] Step 4: Based on the simulation results of Step 3, it is analyzed that the inlet air velocity and discharge rate of the battery module are the key factors for controlling the temperature consistency of the battery pack with inconsistent aging. Therefore, a heat dissipation strategy is proposed for the discharge process of the battery pack. The goal is to suppress the highest temperature and the maximum temperature difference at the end of the battery pack discharge within the ideal range. Battery pack temperature data is collected, and a temperature threshold is set. If the threshold is exceeded, the inlet air velocity of the battery pack air-cooling structure is increased until the maximum air velocity is reached, and then the battery pack discharge rate is reduced.
[0046] First, the battery underwent 500 cycle tests. Batteries with 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, and 500 aging cycles were used for charging experiments. The battery's internal resistance was measured for every 5% increase in SOC, and internal resistance-SOC curves for different aging states were fitted. Combined with existing aging data of the same type of lithium battery in the laboratory, the battery aging state was identified. Next, a thermal-electric coupling model of the battery was established, and the parameters of the equivalent circuit model were identified using the Hybrid Pulse Power Characteristic (HPPC) test, establishing a battery pack thermal model. Third, based on the established battery pack thermal model, the temperature distribution of the battery pack was tested from three aspects: inlet air velocity, discharge rate, and degree of aging. Finally, with the goal of suppressing the highest temperature and maximum temperature difference of the battery pack within an ideal range, the inlet air velocity of the battery pack's air-cooling structure was increased, and the battery pack discharge rate was reasonably reduced, thereby optimizing the heat dissipation control of the battery pack.
[0047] Furthermore, step two can be performed by using the Hybrid Pulse Power Characteristic (HPPC) test experiment to identify the parameters of the battery's equivalent circuit model, as detailed below:
[0048] Step 1: After the battery has been stored for a long time, first discharge it completely at 1C.
[0049] Step 2: Charge the battery to 4.2V using a constant current and constant voltage charging method with a 1C charging current and a 0.05C cutoff current. At this point, the battery is considered fully charged.
[0050] Step 3: Discharge the battery at 1C for 10 seconds, let it rest for 40 seconds, and then charge it at 1C for 10 seconds.
[0051] Let it sit for 1 hour after completion;
[0052] Step 4: Repeat step 3 8 times. Collect battery charge and discharge data to obtain the battery test current curve and response voltage curve.
[0053] It should be noted that 1C refers to the current of the battery's nominal capacity. For example, a lithium battery with a nominal capacity of 1000mAh charged and discharged for 10 seconds at 1C means it is charged and discharged at a current of 1A for 10 seconds, and charging and discharging at 2C means it is charged and discharged at a current of 2A.
[0054] Furthermore, step two can be performed by calculating the battery temperature using a battery thermo-electric coupling model, as follows:
[0055] Given the initial temperature T of the battery pack initIn this case, combined with the already determined equivalent circuit parameters R0 and R of the lithium-ion battery p and C p The heat generation power of the battery pack is calculated based on the battery's heat generation formula, and the battery pack temperature T is obtained through the battery pack's heat transfer equation. batt .in:
[0056] The heat generated by a lithium-ion battery pack during operation mainly consists of four parts: the heat of reaction during electrochemical reactions, the Joule heat generated by overcoming the battery's internal resistance, the polarization heat generated by the imbalance of positive and negative electrode potentials, and the heat of side reactions generated in addition to the chemical reactions. The heat of side reactions is negligible compared to the heat generated by the three battery heat generation methods mentioned above, and therefore can be ignored in the modeling process. In summary, the total heat generation power Q of the battery pack and its detailed formula are shown in Equation (1):
[0057]
[0058] Q r T is the heat of reaction, in J; E is the electromotive force, in J; e The ambient temperature is expressed in Kelvin (K). denoted as , where is the temperature coefficient of the galvanic cell's electromotive force; n is the charge passing through the separator at the end of charging and discharging, in C; and F is the Faraday constant, F = 96485.4 C·mol⁻¹. -1 ·K -1 Q p Ir is the polarization heat, in J; I1 is the branch current across the polarization internal resistance during charging and discharging, in A; R0 p and C p Q is the polarization resistance, measured in Ω. When the battery is subjected to current excitation, this impedance characterizes the process of a slow change in terminal voltage. j Q represents Joule heating, measured in J; I represents the branch current across the battery's internal resistance during charging and discharging, measured in A; R0 represents the battery's internal resistance, measured in Ω. When a sudden current is applied to a lithium-ion battery, this resistance can cause an instantaneous change in the terminal voltage at the moment the current flows. s This is the heat of side reaction, measured in J. Among them, the polarization heat Q... p Joule heat Q j It is a scalar quantity, the heat of reaction Q r The size is determined by the battery's charge / discharge state. Lithium-ion battery packs have three heat transfer modes: heat conduction, heat convection, and heat radiation. Heat radiation accounts for a small proportion of the cooling process and can be ignored. Heat conduction can be represented by Fourier's law:
[0059]
[0060] q is the heat flux density, in W / m³. 2 k is the thermal conductivity, in W / m·K; This represents the temperature gradient along the normal direction of the textured surface, in K / m.
[0061] Thermal convection can be expressed by Newton's law of cooling:
[0062] q=h(T b -T f (3)
[0063] q is the heat flux density, in W / m³. 2 h is the convective heat transfer coefficient, in W / m³. 2 ·K;T b Temperature of the battery's outer surface, in Kelvin (K); T f is the temperature of the medium, in K; T is the temperature, in K.
[0064] The heat transfer equation for the battery pack can be expressed as:
[0065]
[0066] Where: ρ is the lithium-ion battery density, in kg / m³. 3 ;T batt Battery pack temperature, in Kelvin (K); k r k Φ and k θ Φ represents the thermal conductivity of the lithium-ion battery pack along the cylindrical coordinate axes r, Φ, and θ, respectively, in W / (m·K); u represents the internal heat generation rate of the battery pack, in m / s.
[0067] Furthermore, step two can be performed by building a three-dimensional thermal simulation model of the battery pack according to the following steps:
[0068] Step 1: Use COMSOL Multiphysics to build a Z-shaped groove air-cooled model of the battery pack;
[0069] Step 2: Set the physical field simulation conditions for the battery pack model at the three interfaces of laminar flow, fluid heat transfer, and lumped cell;
[0070] Step 3: Use ultra-fine free tetrahedral network units on the outer shell of the battery pack cooling model, and use a sweeping method to automatically generate quadrilateral meshes for the individual cells inside the cooling structure of the battery pack model.
[0071] Furthermore, the heat dissipation strategy described in step four is as follows:
[0072] Based on the battery pack temperature distribution under the influence of wind speed, discharge rate, and aging degree obtained in step 3, it can be seen that increasing wind speed and decreasing the battery pack discharge rate are both effective in suppressing the highest temperature and maximum temperature difference at the end of battery pack discharge. Based on this, a heat dissipation control strategy for the battery pack is proposed:
[0073] 1) First, conduct a discharge test on the battery pack under specified room temperature conditions, and measure the highest temperature and maximum temperature difference of the battery pack at the end of the discharge.
[0074] 2) If the highest temperature and maximum temperature difference at the end of the battery pack discharge exceed the ideal range, increase the inlet air velocity of the battery pack cooling structure. Measure the highest temperature and maximum temperature difference at the end of the battery pack discharge using simulation with the increased air velocity, and determine whether the sampling results meet the requirements. If they still do not meet the requirements, continue to increase the air velocity for simulation.
[0075] 3) If the simulated battery pack temperature still does not meet the requirements after increasing the inlet air velocity of the battery pack cooling structure until the air velocity reaches the upper limit, the battery pack discharge rate is gradually reduced at intervals of 0.1C, and the battery pack temperature data is measured by simulation until the highest temperature and the maximum temperature difference at the end of the battery pack discharge are suppressed within the ideal range.
[0076] The present invention will be specifically described below using a ternary lithium battery as an example.
[0077] Example
[0078] ISR18650-2.5Ah single-cell batteries were selected for testing. Charging experiments were conducted on batteries subjected to 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, and 500 aging cycles. The battery's internal resistance (in ohms) was measured for every 5% increase in SOC. A two-dimensional graph was obtained, showing the battery under different aging conditions, with internal resistance R as the y-axis and SOC as the x-axis. Figure 1 As shown.
[0079] The equivalent circuit of the battery was constructed using the Thevenin model, and the parameters of the equivalent circuit of the lithium-ion battery were measured and identified through HPPC testing experiments, as detailed below:
[0080] Step 1: After the battery has been stored for a long time, first discharge it completely at 1C.
[0081] Step 2: Charge the battery to 4.2V using a constant current and constant voltage charging method with a 1C charging current and a 0.05C cutoff current. At this point, the battery is considered fully charged.
[0082] Step 3: Discharge the battery at 1C for 10 seconds, let it rest for 40 seconds, and then charge it at 1C for 10 seconds.
[0083] Let it sit for 1 hour after completion;
[0084] Step 4: Repeat step 3 8 times. Collect battery charge and discharge data to obtain the battery test current curve and response voltage curve, as shown below. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown.
[0085] Adopting such Figure 4 The schematic diagram shown illustrates the construction of a battery thermo-electric coupling model. Given the initial battery temperature T... init In this case, combined with the already determined equivalent circuit parameters R0 and R of the lithium-ion battery p C p The battery's heat generation power is calculated based on the battery heat generation formula, and the battery temperature T is obtained through a fluid heat transfer model. batt This model takes the applied current and the initial temperature of the battery as inputs and the battery temperature after a period of operation as output.
[0086] A Z-groove air-cooled model of a lithium-ion battery pack was built using COMSOL Multiphysics. The physical field simulation conditions of the battery pack model were set at three interfaces: laminar flow, fluid heat transfer, and lumped cell. Ultra-fine free tetrahedral network elements were used on the outer shell of the battery pack cooling model, and quadrilateral meshes were automatically generated for the individual cells inside the cooling structure of the battery pack model by sweeping.
[0087] The established battery pack heat generation model was used to analyze the temperature distribution of the battery pack under different inlet air velocities of the cooling structure, different discharge rates, and different aging degrees. A battery pack composed of 12 ISR18650-2.5Ah cells was selected, and an experimental platform was built. The aging degree of the battery pack followed a normal distribution X~N(0.99, 0.01302). Based on... Figure 5 The heat dissipation strategy shown was tested, and the highest temperature and maximum temperature difference at the end of discharge under the initial conditions of the battery pack were measured. The heat dissipation strategy was implemented using an established simulation model, and the simulation yielded the inlet air velocity and discharge rate of the cooling structure that suppressed the highest temperature and maximum temperature difference at the end of discharge within the ideal range. Based on the simulation results, a discharge experiment was conducted on the battery pack, setting the discharge rate to 1C and the inlet air velocity to 1.97 m / s. The temperature distribution cloud map of the battery pack at the end of discharge is shown below. Figure 6 Battery pack T max Equal to 27.7℃, ΔT max The temperature reached 3.9℃, achieving the target set by the heat dissipation strategy and verifying the effectiveness of the heat dissipation strategy in suppressing the highest temperature and maximum temperature difference at the end of battery discharge.
