Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of retired battery capacity prediction technology, specifically to a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for predicting the capacity of retired battery modules. Background Technology

[0002] Power battery modules refer to the power sources that provide power to tools. They mainly refer to the batteries that provide power to electric vehicles, electric trains, electric bicycles, and golf carts. They are mainly different from the starting batteries used to start car engines. They mostly use valve-sealed lead-acid batteries, open-type tubular lead-acid batteries, and lithium iron phosphate batteries.

[0003] When a power battery module is in poor performance or has been used for a long time, it is usually discarded and becomes a retired battery module. However, even retired battery modules still have a certain amount of residual power, which can play a role in realizing the recycling and reuse of battery modules.

[0004] Therefore, when recycling retired power battery modules, it is necessary to measure and test the remaining capacity of different retired power battery modules. However, the current capacity prediction method generally uses a single complete charge and discharge test, which involves many cycles. This method cannot accurately predict the capacity, and the large number of charge and discharge cycles also affects the performance of retired power battery modules. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for predicting the capacity of retired battery modules, so as to solve the problem that the existing technology requires a large number of complete charge and discharge cycles, and can achieve rapid and accurate prediction of retired battery modules without the need for complete charge and discharge cycles, without affecting the performance of retired battery modules.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for predicting the capacity of retired battery modules, comprising:

[0007] Obtain the remaining capacity of several retired power battery modules after their first charge-discharge test;

[0008] Obtain the IC curves of the second charge-discharge test of the several retired power battery modules, and select the voltage range that meets the preset conditions as the limiting voltage range segment;

[0009] Within the specified voltage range, the short-time charge-discharge curves, short-time charge-discharge times, and short-time charge-discharge capacity values ​​of the several retired power battery modules under short-time charge-discharge tests are obtained.

[0020] In some possible embodiments, the first charge / discharge rate is 0.3C to 1C, and the first temperature is 15°C to 35°C.

[0021] In some possible embodiments, obtaining the Fréchet distance of the short-time charge-discharge curves between any two battery modules in the plurality of retired power battery modules includes:

[0022] The Frescher distance between the short-time charge-discharge curves of each pair of battery modules in the aforementioned retired power battery modules was calculated using the Frescher distance algorithm.

Let be the trajectory points of the sequential set in the P-curve and L-curve, respectively, and d() be the distance calculation formula.

[0026] In some possible embodiments, the initial neural network model is an Elman neural network model; the Elman neural network model structure is a feedforward connection, which includes an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer, wherein the transfer function of the hidden layer is a non-linear function, and the output layer is a linear function.

The short-time charge-discharge time, short-time charge-discharge capacity, Fraser distance, module voltage and internal resistance, and the voltage difference and internal resistance difference between the module and the individual cells are used as the input values ​​of the initial neural network model. The remaining capacity of the module is used as the output value. After iterative training, a fully trained neural network model is obtained, and the capacity of the retired power battery module is predicted based on the fully trained neural network model.

[0034] Thirdly, the present invention also provides an electronic device, including a memory and a processor, wherein,

[0035] The memory is used to store programs;

[0037] Fourthly, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, characterized in that it is used to store a computer-readable program or instructions, which, when executed by a processor, are capable of implementing the steps in the retired battery module capacity prediction method described in any of the above possible implementations.

[0038] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows: The present invention first obtains short-time charge-discharge time, short-time charge-discharge capacity, Fraser distance, module voltage and internal resistance, and voltage difference and internal resistance difference between the module and the individual cells through different charge-discharge tests. Then, it constructs a neural network model, using the short-time charge-discharge time, short-time charge-discharge capacity, Fraser distance, module voltage and internal resistance, and voltage difference and internal resistance difference between the module and the individual cells as the input values ​​of the initial neural network model, and the remaining capacity of the module as the output value. After iterative training, a fully trained neural network model is obtained, and the capacity of retired power battery modules is predicted based on the fully trained neural network model. This invention utilizes IC curves to obtain the voltage range of short-term charge and discharge, which better reflects the internal structural characteristics of the module and enables more accurate sorting of the module's capacity. The strong learning ability of neural networks allows for better adaptation to the data relationship between multiple feature parameters and discharge capacity. By constructing an optimal model, it achieves the goal of rapid prediction of battery module capacity. The larger the training set sample size, the more accurate the established network model. This solution enables rapid and accurate prediction of retired battery modules without requiring a complete charge and discharge cycle. Attached Figure Description

[0064] It should be noted that the second charge / discharge capability is 0.05C~1C.
