[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the application clearer, the technical solutions in the application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the application.

[0050] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances. For example, the first information can also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information can also be referred to as the first information without departing from the scope of the present document.

[0051] As a backup power supply, the battery is the main component of uninterrupted power supply in the communication power supply industry and is widely used in the communication industry. The battery generally adopts parallel floating charging mode, that is, the battery bus is connected in parallel with the power supply system, and the power supply system supplements the charging of the battery. When the power supply system in the machine room and the power supply power device fail, the battery supplies power. During the discharging process of the battery, the terminal voltage gradually decreases, and when the terminal voltage decreases to the cut-off voltage, the power supply system cuts off the discharging process of the battery, the equipment in the station is powered off and disconnected from the network, causing the station to be disconnected. Therefore, the remaining capacity of the battery directly affects the discharging time. The remaining capacity of the battery is related to the machine room environment, charging and discharging management, load rate, discharging frequency and discharging time of each time. The battery capacity of the same manufacturer and the same type and specification of the battery under different use environments and discharging conditions is quite different. Evaluating the battery capacity, mastering the endurance time under the actual load condition and evaluating the end time of the battery life have always been the focus and difficulty of battery application management and operation and maintenance work.

[0052] At present, the capacity test of the battery in the communication industry is to disconnect the battery from the power supply system, connect a dummy load, and make the battery discharge at a rate of 10 hours or 3 hours or 1 hour. During the discharging period, the terminal voltage and other data of the battery are measured. When the discharging time reaches the specified time or the terminal voltage decreases to the cut-off voltage, the discharging is stopped. According to the test data, the actual capacity of the battery discharged can be calculated, and the remaining capacity of the battery can be obtained by capacity conversion.

[0053] However, the discharging load and discharging time in the above test method are quite different from the actual discharging process of the battery when the power supply system fails, and the measured remaining capacity of the battery cannot provide effective data support for each power supply system failure. The station disconnection rate is still too high.

[0054] In view of the above problems, the application provides a battery capacity test method, device, electronic equipment and storage medium. The method of the application is for the discharging process of the battery after the power supply system fails, receives the discharging start information and periodically records the discharging data, which is used to evaluate the remaining capacity of the battery and generate first capacity evaluation information. The first capacity information includes the battery endurance time. The method can effectively utilize the discharging data of the battery under the real working condition to provide risk prompt and data scheduling support for the subsequent discharging of the battery when the power supply system fails.

[0055] The technical solutions of the application will be described in detail in the following specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0056] In this application, an electronic device is used as the execution subject to perform the battery capacity testing method of the following embodiments. Specifically, the execution subject can be the hardware device of the electronic device, or the software application implementing the following embodiments in the electronic device, or a computer-readable storage medium installed with the software application implementing the following embodiments, or the code implementing the software application.

[0057] Figure 1 A flowchart of a battery capacity testing method provided in one embodiment of this application is shown.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, with an electronic device as the execution subject, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps:

[0059] S101. Receive discharge start information and periodically record discharge load current and battery cell voltage. The discharge start information is the battery discharge start information when the power supply system fails.

[0060] In this embodiment, receiving the discharge start information refers to the discharge start information triggered when a power outage occurs due to a power supply system fault and the battery supplies power. The recording period can be set according to the actual situation of the discharge process, for example, recording once every 5 minutes until the discharge ends. The end of the discharge can be due to the power supply system fault being resolved and normal operation resuming, or the battery terminal voltage falling below the discharge cutoff voltage, causing a station outage.

[0061] S102. Calculate the discharged capacity based on the discharge load current and the battery cell voltage, and plot the time-capacity discharge curve and the voltage-capacity discharge curve.

[0062] In this embodiment, the discharged capacity can be accurately calculated using a PID algorithm. For example, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) clustering algorithm can be used to divide the discharge duration into multiple time periods, with each cycle lasting for one time period. The PID algorithm is then used to calculate the discharge rate and discharged capacity for each time period, and the total discharged capacity is calculated using a summation formula.

[0063] Based on the recorded voltage for each time period and the calculated capacity for each time period, plot the time-capacity discharge curve and the voltage-capacity discharge curve.

[0064] S103. Compare the time-capacity discharge curve and voltage-capacity discharge curve with the standard discharge curve to evaluate the remaining battery capacity.

[0065] In this embodiment, the standard discharge curve can be a discharge curve provided by the battery manufacturer, or a discharge curve obtained from the discharge test when the battery is put into service.

[0066] The remaining capacity can be assessed by comparing the time-capacity discharge curve, voltage-capacity discharge curve and standard discharge curve based on the deviation of the two sets of curves and the angle between the tangents. There are many records of specific comparison methods, which will not be repeated in this application.

[0067] S104. Generate first capacity assessment information based on the remaining battery capacity. The first capacity information includes the battery runtime.

[0068] In this embodiment, battery life refers to the battery life under the current discharge load, and the first capacity assessment information may also include the estimated possible downtime.

[0069] The battery capacity testing method provided in this application periodically records the discharge load current and individual cell voltage of the battery when it begins to discharge after a power supply system failure. Based on the recorded data, the discharged capacity is accurately calculated and time-capacity discharge curves and voltage-capacity discharge curves are plotted. These curves are then compared with standard discharge curves to assess the remaining battery capacity and generate first capacity assessment information. This method achieves accurate assessment of the remaining battery capacity, providing data support for emergency dispatch and handling during power supply system failures and reducing the downtime rate.

[0070] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating another battery capacity testing method provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 As shown, with an electronic device as the execution subject, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps:

[0071] S201. Obtain historical discharge information and the corresponding discharge load. The historical discharge information includes discharge trigger alarm information and discharge end alarm information.

[0072] In this embodiment, the historical discharge information refers to the battery discharge information during historical power supply system failures.

[0073] S202. Determine the discharge start time based on the discharge trigger alarm information.

[0074] In this embodiment, an alarm message will be issued when the power supply system fails, triggering the battery to start discharging. This alarm message is the discharge-triggered alarm message.

[0075] In some examples, step 202 includes: querying discharge-triggered alarm information sequentially according to the first priority, wherein different first priorities correspond to different discharge-triggered reasons; if multiple discharge-triggered alarm information with multiple first priorities is found, the occurrence time in the discharge-triggered alarm information with the highest first priority is determined as the discharge start time.

[0076] For example, first query the level 1-3 alarms transmitted through the environmental monitoring platform interface: low-voltage distribution AC input power outage alarm, smart meter AC input power outage alarm, and switching power supply AC input power outage alarm. If the query result is empty, then query the level 4-5 alarms transmitted through the wireless platform interface: DC power supply abnormality alarm and input voltage abnormality alarm. If the query result is still empty, then query the level 6-8 alarms transmitted through the environmental monitoring platform interface, until all alarm causes have been queried. When there are multiple query results, retain the alarm occurrence time corresponding to the highest priority, denoted as tcn. For example, if both level 4 and level 5 alarm information are queried simultaneously, record the occurrence time of the level 4 alarm information as tc4. The discharge triggering causes and their corresponding first priorities are shown in Table 1.

[0077] Table 1. Reasons for Discharge Triggered Alarms and Corresponding First Priority

[0078] Network management identification Alarm cause Value First priority Dynamic ring Low-voltage power distribution AC input power failure alarm Occurrence time 1 Dynamic ring Smart meter AC input power failure alarm Occurrence time 2 Dynamic ring Switching power supply AC input power failure alarm Occurrence time 3 Wireless DC power supply abnormal alarm Occurrence time 4 Wireless Input voltage abnormal alarm Occurrence time 5 Dynamic ring Switching power supply output DC voltage too low alarm Occurrence time 6 Dynamic ring Switching power supply DC voltage out-of-limit alarm Occurrence time 7 Dynamic ring Battery pack total voltage low alarm Occurrence time 8

[0079] S203. Determine the discharge end time based on the discharge end alarm information.

[0080] In this embodiment, the battery discharge may end when the battery terminal voltage is lower than the cutoff voltage, or the battery discharge may end when the power supply system fault is resolved.

[0081] In some examples, step S203 includes: querying discharge end alarm information sequentially according to the second priority, wherein different second priorities correspond to different discharge end reasons; if multiple discharge end alarm information with multiple second priorities is found, the occurrence time in the discharge end alarm information with the highest second priority is determined as the discharge end time.

[0082] For example, first query the indoor baseband processing unit (BBU) outage alarm transmitted through the wireless platform interface and record the time as to1; if the query result is empty, then query the level 2-6 alarm information transmitted through the environmental monitoring platform interface, until all alarms have been retrieved. Similarly, if two or more level 2-6 alarm information are found, record the alarm occurrence time corresponding to the highest second priority, denoted as ton. The discharge end reason and the corresponding second priority are shown in Table 2.

[0083] Table 2. Reasons for discharge termination and corresponding second priority levels.

[0084] Network management identification Alarm cause Value First priority Wireless BBU station break Occurrence time 1 Dynamic ring Local station communication interruption Occurrence time 2 Dynamic ring Secondary power down Occurrence time 3 Wireless Low-voltage power distribution AC input power failure alarm Occurrence time 4 Wireless Smart meter AC input power failure alarm Occurrence time 5 Dynamic ring Switching power supply AC input power failure alarm Occurrence time 6

[0085] S204. Based on the discharge start time and discharge end time, determine the discharge duration corresponding to the discharge load and generate the second capacity assessment information.

[0086] In this embodiment, the discharge duration and remaining battery capacity for each discharge can be obtained based on multiple historical discharge information. Since the load for each discharge may be different, the battery capacity obtained from the test will also be different, and the corresponding second capacity evaluation information will also be different. Multiple second capacity evaluation information can be used to determine the degree of battery degradation.

[0087] The calculation of discharge time can continue to refer to the previous example. If the first priority is level 1 and the second priority is level 1, then the battery discharge time = to1 - tc1, which represents the time from battery discharge caused by the power outage to the station disconnection. If the first priority is level 4 and the second priority is level 2, then the battery discharge time = to2 - tc4, which represents the time from battery discharge caused by the DC power supply abnormality to the interruption of station communication.

[0088] S205. Receive discharge start information and periodically record discharge load current and battery cell voltage. The discharge start information is the battery discharge start information when the power supply system fails.

[0089] S206. Generate the first risk warning information based on the second capacity assessment information.

[0090] In this embodiment, the first risk warning information is used to use the battery discharge time under historical load conditions and the remaining battery capacity evaluated based on historical data as reference data when the battery starts to discharge again, so as to avoid the battery discharge time being too long and causing the station to be disconnected.

[0091] S207. Calculate the discharged capacity based on the discharge load current and the battery cell voltage, and plot the time-capacity discharge curve and the voltage-capacity discharge curve.

[0092] S208. Compare the time-capacity discharge curve and voltage-capacity discharge curve with the standard discharge curve to evaluate the remaining battery capacity.

[0093] S209. Generate first capacity assessment information based on the remaining battery capacity. The first capacity information includes the battery runtime.

[0094] Steps S205 and S207-S209 are respectively with Figure 1 The implementation methods of steps S101-S104 in the embodiments are the same, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0095] The battery capacity testing method provided in this embodiment can effectively use historical discharge information to determine the degree of battery degradation. The second capacity assessment information can also provide timely data support for emergency dispatch and handling in the event of the next power supply system failure, thereby reducing the downtime rate.

[0096] In some examples, after generating the second capacity assessment information, the process further includes: assessing the battery performance based on the first and second capacity assessment information and generating a second risk warning information.

[0097] In this example, whenever a station experiences an incremental power outage or outage, an evaluation mechanism is triggered. This mechanism outputs corresponding first-level capacity evaluation information, which is compared with the second-level capacity evaluation information generated during the previous power outage or outage at that station. Based on the comparison result, risk warnings and rectification suggestions are sent to the station. Both the first and second-level capacity evaluation information include battery performance assessments. This comparison allows for the evaluation of battery degradation levels, enabling the estimation of subsequent battery discharge duration and the timely development of emergency power supply plans to reduce the outage rate.

[0098] In some examples, after obtaining historical discharge information, the process also includes: determining the power system configuration data of the corresponding computer room based on the historical discharge information. The configuration data includes the battery manufacturer and model. The historical discharge information also includes the historical discharge rate and historical ambient temperature. The power system configuration data is mapped and associated with the historical discharge information. The temperature-discharge rate curve of batteries of the same manufacturer and model is plotted and fitted.

[0099] In this example, the power system configuration data is associated with the battery discharge information to facilitate the fitting of temperature-discharge rate curves for batteries of the same manufacturer and model. Specifically, an AI classification and aggregation algorithm can be used to aggregate the curves of batteries of the same manufacturer and model at different temperatures and discharge rates, forming multiple temperature-discharge rate fitting curves. This example method, based on the temperature-discharge rate curves of batteries of the same manufacturer and model, can accurately evaluate battery capacity at different temperatures and discharge rates.

[0100] Based on the above example, after receiving the discharge start information, the ambient temperature during the discharge process can be recorded; the discharge rate can be calculated based on the discharge load current; and the remaining battery capacity can be evaluated based on the ambient temperature, discharge rate, and temperature-discharge rate curve.

[0101] In this example, from multiple temperature-discharge rate curves fitted based on historical discharge information, the curve that best matches the ambient temperature and discharge rate of the current discharge process can be determined to evaluate the remaining battery capacity and driving range. If a curve that best matches the ambient temperature and discharge rate cannot be determined, the remaining battery capacity and driving range are evaluated based on a temperature-discharge rate curve with a higher discharge rate. This eliminates the impact of discharge current fluctuations on the discharge time calculation and avoids the estimated driving range being longer than the actual discharge time, thus preventing battery outages. The method in this example effectively utilizes historical discharge information to provide data support for the current discharge process, avoiding battery outages caused by excessively long battery discharge times.

[0102] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a battery capacity testing device according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the battery capacity testing device 30 of this embodiment is used to implement the operation corresponding to the electronic device in any of the above method embodiments. The battery capacity testing device 30 of this embodiment includes:

[0103] The receiving module 301 is used to receive discharge start information and periodically record the discharge load current and battery cell voltage. The discharge start information is the battery discharge start information when the power supply system fails.

[0104] Processing module 302 is used to calculate the discharged capacity and plot the time-capacity discharge curve and voltage-capacity discharge curve based on the discharge load current and the battery cell voltage.

[0105] Evaluation module 303 is used to compare the time-capacity discharge curve and voltage-capacity discharge curve with the standard discharge curve to evaluate the remaining capacity of the battery;

[0106] The evaluation module 303 is also used to generate first capacity evaluation information based on the remaining battery capacity, the first capacity information including battery life.

[0107] In some examples, the battery capacity testing device 30 can receive the information required for capacity testing from a database and send the first capacity assessment information to the work order system.

[0108] The database contains information collected or configured by the environmental monitoring network management system, the wireless network management system, and the resource management system. The environmental monitoring network management system can collect power system configuration information, voltage, current, ambient temperature, and other data. The wireless network management system can collect the BBU's operating status, including BBU voltage information. Cross-validation between the power system voltage data collected by the environmental monitoring network management system and the BBU voltage data collected by the wireless network management system allows for accurate collection of discharge duration, discharge current, and cutoff voltage, avoiding issues of missing or inaccurate data from a single network management system. The resource management system provides resource information for the power system, battery, and load, enabling the identification of the power system to which the battery and load belong. The work order system pushes alarm information generated based on the initial capacity assessment information, presenting the battery's remaining battery life and estimated downtime.

[0109] The battery capacity testing device 30 can pre-create resource views in the database according to the needs of battery capacity analysis, storing battery discharge start and end records, such as a list of battery discharge trigger / end alarm standard IDs and titles, a list of BBU DC voltage abnormality alarm signals, a history of battery discharge trigger alarms, a history of station communication interruption alarms, and a BBU DC voltage abnormality alarm record table. The battery capacity testing device 30 can also retrieve and store data in the corresponding resource views by calling the environmental monitoring platform interface and the wireless platform interface, providing basic data for the next step of data analysis.
