Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of new energy vehicle power battery charging control, and specifically relates to a power battery charging control method, system and vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Lithium batteries (hereinafter referred to as battery cells) are widely used as the mainstream power battery for electric vehicles due to their high energy density and power performance. Currently, lithium battery life degradation and safety failure remain the two most pressing concerns for users. The lifespan of a lithium battery is affected by two factors: charge and discharge cycles and storage. These two factors are mutually reinforcing and coupled in actual use. It is well known that lithium battery electrode materials at high states of charge (SOC) have poorer stability, and lithium battery life degradation is more severe when stored at high SOCs. The depth of discharge (DOD) of a lithium battery affects its charge and discharge cycle capability; an increase in DOD reduces the cycle life of the lithium battery. The upper limit of the SOC and the depth of discharge of a lithium battery are both determined by the battery's charging strategy, making the charging strategy closely related to the battery's lifespan.

[0003] The dynamic closed-circuit voltage of a battery cell is divided into static voltage and polarization voltage. The static voltage represents the true state of charge of the battery cell, while the polarization voltage is caused by internal polarization of the battery cell. At the same temperature, a smaller current can eliminate polarization of the battery cell, and the same current at a higher temperature has a better depolarization effect. Charging uses the dynamic closed-circuit voltage of the battery cell as a monitoring and control parameter, while the static voltage represents the true state of charge of the battery cell. A smaller charge rate (corresponding to a smaller charging current) results in less polarization of the battery cell during charging. If different charge rates use the same voltage as the charging cutoff condition, the polarization voltage of the battery cell will be smaller and the static voltage will be larger when charging at a low rate, while the polarization voltage of the battery cell will be larger and the static voltage will be smaller when charging at a high rate.

[0004] Among the many charging strategies, multi-stage constant current charging is the most widely used. The voltage-based multi-stage constant current charging strategy (VMCC) uses a preset voltage as the switching condition. After the battery cell reaches the preset voltage with constant current charging, it switches to the next stage of current charging, and this cycle repeats until the maximum charge cut-off voltage is reached. The higher the battery cell temperature and the lower the charge rate, the more lithium ions are charged into the negative electrode at the same charge cut-off voltage, meaning the polarization is reduced and the amount of charge can be charged.

[0005] The currently widely used charging strategy is: during fast charging, the preset charging voltage (i.e., stage charge cut-off voltage) for battery cells with the same SOC value at different temperatures is a constant value, usually the preset charging voltage corresponding to room temperature 25°C at that SOC. Using the preset charging voltage corresponding to 25°C as the stage charge cut-off voltage corresponding to all temperature points at that SOC will cause the amount of electricity charged at certain temperature points and certain charging rates to exceed the final allowable SOC upper limit, resulting in overcharging of the battery cells, and then overcharging of the power battery, affecting the life of the power battery. During slow charging, the smaller value of the stage charge rate during fast charging and the maximum charge rate (i.e., capacity) of the slow charging device is used as the stage charge rate, and the stage charge cut-off voltage is still based on the stage charge cut-off voltage during fast charging. When the actual charge rate is less than the stage charge rate during fast charging, charging at a lower charge rate will occur, the actual state of charge of the battery cells will be higher, and the battery cells will be overcharged.

[0006] CN114678610A discloses a method, device, and system for determining the safety margin of a battery charging strategy. The method dynamically adjusts the charging strategy based on determining whether a lithium-ion battery undergoes lithium deposition during charging. However, the method does not discuss the charging cutoff conditions for lithium-ion batteries, and lithium-ion batteries are at risk of overcharging. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a charging control method, system and vehicle for a power battery to avoid overcharging of the power battery caused by high temperature and low rate charging process.

[0018] S17. Exit charging and then end.

[0019] Preferably, the preset fast charge MAP table is a table of correspondences between battery cell voltage, cell temperature, stage charge cut-off voltage, and stage charge rate obtained through calibration. The preset maximum charge cut-off voltage table is a table of correspondences between cell temperature and maximum charge cut-off voltage obtained through calibration.

[0020] Preferably, the slow charging control strategy includes:

[0021] S21, take U as the voltage to be looked up, T min As the table temperature, query the preset fast charge MAP table to obtain the stage charging rate C1 and the stage charging cut-off voltage U1; use U as the table voltage, T max As the table lookup temperature, query the preset fast charging MAP table to obtain the stage charging rate C2 and the stage charging cut-off voltage U2; determine the maximum charging rate Ct of the current slow charging device, and then execute S22.

[0022] S22: Determine whether Ct is less than C1 and Ct is less than C2 (ie, whether the minimum value among Ct, C1, and C2 is Ct). If so, execute S23; otherwise, execute S26.

[0023] S23, T maxUsing Ct as the lookup temperature and Ct as the lookup charge rate, the preset overcharge prevention MAP table is consulted to obtain the maximum allowable charging voltage Umaxt, and then S24 is executed. The preset overcharge prevention MAP table is a calibration-derived correspondence table of cell temperature, charge rate, and maximum allowable charging voltage.

[0031] S211. Exit charging and then end.

[0032] At the same temperature, during slow charging, the smaller of the fast charging rate and the maximum charging rate of the slow charging device is used as the charging rate. If the smaller value is the fast charging rate, charging is performed according to the fast charging MAP table. If the smaller value is the maximum charging rate of the slow charging device, the maximum allowable charging voltage in the overcharge prevention MAP table is used as the charging cutoff voltage. This avoids overcharging during slow charging and helps extend the service life of the power battery. By querying the overcharge prevention MAP table to find the maximum allowable charging voltage, the consistency of slow charging is ensured.

[0033] Preferably, the calibration step of the preset fast charge MAP table includes:

[0034] The first step is to select n different cell temperatures and m different SOC values, and conduct three-electrode tests on the battery cells at these n cell temperatures and m SOC values to obtain n*m maximum charge rates corresponding to the battery cells at these n cell temperatures and m SOC values. The three-electrode test is widely used as a conventional electrochemical test method. In lithium batteries, if the negative electrode potential to lithium is less than 0mV, the charge rate is considered to exceed the maximum charge capacity (i.e., the maximum charge rate) of the lithium battery at this temperature and SOC value. Therefore, the three-electrode test at different temperatures can determine the maximum charge rate of the battery cells corresponding to different SOC values at different temperatures.

[0035] The second step is to determine n*m charging rates corresponding to m SOC values at n cell temperatures of the battery cell, without exceeding the maximum charging rate of the battery cell, according to the requirements of achieving the charging time and the smoothness of the charging curve.

[0036] The third step is to conduct rated capacity tests on the battery cells at n cell temperatures to obtain n rated capacities of the battery cells corresponding to the n cell temperatures.

[0037] Step 4: Use the formula: C ij = C i *SOC j , calculate the charge capacity C corresponding to the jth SOC value at the i-th cell temperature ij Among them, C i Indicates the rated capacity corresponding to the temperature of the i-th cell, SOC j represents the j-th SOC value, i takes all integers from 1 to n, and j takes all integers from 1 to m.

[0038] Step 5: At the temperature of the i-th monomer, CX ik Charge and read the charging capacity as C ik The battery cell voltage U ik Among them, CX ik represents the stage charge rate corresponding to the kth SOC value at the i-th cell temperature, C ik represents the charge capacity corresponding to the kth SOC value at the i-th cell temperature, where k is any integer from 2 to m.

[0039] Step 6: U ik As the temperature of the i-th cell, the stage charge rate CX ik Correspondingly, the battery cell voltage is U i(k-1) with U ik The stage charging cut-off voltage between , thus forming a fast charge MAP table. i(k-1)Indicates the temperature of the i-th monomer with CX i(k-1) Charge the battery to a capacity of C i(k-1) Battery cell voltage at the time; CX i(k-1) represents the stage charge rate corresponding to the k-1th SOC value at the i-th cell temperature, C i(k-1) represents the charge capacity corresponding to the k-1th SOC value at the i-th cell temperature.

[0040] Preferably, the calibration step of the preset anti-overcharge MAP table includes:

[0041] The first step is to select r charging rates at the i-th cell temperature, and the r charging rates are all smaller than the m charging rates at the i-th cell temperature in the fast charging MAP table.

[0042] Step 2: Control the battery cell to charge to a capacity of H at the i-th cell temperature according to the fast charge MAP table. i Among them, H i = C i *SOC thr , SOC thr Indicates the preset SOC threshold.

[0043] Step 3: At the i-th cell temperature, charge the battery cell obtained after step 2 to C at the w-th charging rate among the r charging rates. i , read the charge to C i Battery cell voltage U' iw ; Wherein, w takes all integers from 1 to r.

[0044] Step 4: U' iw The overcharge prevention MAP table is formed as the maximum charge allowable voltage corresponding to the i-th cell temperature and the w-th charge rate.

[0045] Preferably, the preset SOC threshold range is 75% to 85%, which is a better range that does not affect the total charging time and does not cause overcharging.

[0046] Preferably, the preset SOC threshold is 80%, which is the optimal value that does not affect the total charging time and does not cause overcharging.

[0047] Preferably, the method for determining the maximum charging rate Ct of the current slow charging device includes:

[0048] Get the total voltage Ut of the current power battery in real time.

[0049] Use the formula: It=P / Ut to calculate the maximum output current It of the slow charging device; where P represents the maximum power that the slow charging device can output.

[0050] Use the formula: Ct=It / C 25℃ , calculate the maximum charging rate Ct of the current slow charging device; where C 25℃ Indicates the rated capacity of the battery cell at 25°C.

[0051] During the actual charging process, the maximum charging power that the slow charging device can output remains constant, while the total voltage of the power battery continues to increase as the charging process progresses, and Ct will continue to decrease, and eventually usually becomes less than the smaller value of C1 and C2.

[0052] The power battery charging control system of the present invention includes a controller, and the controller is programmed to execute the above-mentioned charging control method.

[0053] The vehicle of the present invention includes the above-mentioned charging control system.

[0054] The present invention has the following effects:

[0055] (1) The influence of temperature and charging rate on the cut-off voltage is taken into consideration. By designing different temperatures and different charging rates, charging the same amount of electricity corresponding to different stage charging cut-off voltages, the problem of power battery overcharging caused by high temperature and low rate charging process is avoided, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the power battery.

[0056] (2) In actual use, the stage charging rate and stage charging cut-off voltage are found by querying the preset fast charging MAP table, and the maximum charging cut-off voltage is found by querying the preset maximum charging cut-off voltage table, which ensures the SOC consistency of the battery cell at the end of charging and prevents overcharging of the power battery.
