Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent control, and specifically relates to a method for determining pre-undervoltage levels, a power control method, a system, a device, and a medium. Background Art

[0002] At the end of discharging of an electric vehicle, factors such as SOC estimation deviation and unreasonable design of the maximum allowable discharge power may cause premature interruption of power. The pre-undervoltage power limit strategy is to limit the vehicle discharge power in advance through different pre-undervoltage levels without affecting the drivability and power performance of the vehicle, so as to avoid the problem of premature power interruption when the battery can discharge.

[0003] Generally, the pre-undervoltage power limit strategy is to perform power limit of different intensity levels in advance based on the cut-off voltage of each cell in different temperature ranges of the battery. A pre-undervoltage power control strategy for a power battery system is disclosed in the related art, including: obtaining the current temperature value of the power battery pack; obtaining the current SOC value of the power battery pack; obtaining all the cell voltage values in the power battery pack and determining the minimum cell voltage value of the power battery pack; obtaining the current allowable discharge power of the power battery pack according to the current temperature value and SOC value; determining whether the minimum cell voltage value is less than a preset pre-undervoltage threshold, and determining whether the duration of the minimum cell voltage value reaches a preset undervoltage protection time; when the minimum cell voltage value is less than the pre-undervoltage threshold and the duration of the minimum cell voltage value reaches the undervoltage protection time, reducing the allowable discharge power. However, when using this control strategy to control the pre-undervoltage power of the power battery system, there are the following defects: the cut-off voltage at the critical point in each temperature range will have a step jump. If the cell voltage is lower than the cut-off voltage of the cell after the jump, the allowable discharge power of the battery will be immediately limited to 0, resulting in power interruption and causing the problem of power loss during vehicle driving.
