Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an output control device, an output control method, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, from the perspective of climate-related disasters and in order to reduce CO2, there has been a surge of attention on electric vehicles, and the use of lithium-ion batteries for automotive applications has been studied. Lithium-ion batteries are lightweight and achieve high energy density, making them suitable as high-output power sources for automotive applications.

[0003] As the negative electrode active material in lithium-ion batteries, carbon materials such as graphite are typically used. During charging, lithium ions enter the interlayer of the carbon material, causing a potential change. However, depending on the charge and discharge conditions of the lithium-ion battery, metallic lithium sometimes precipitates in the negative electrode active material (lithium electrodeposition). It is known that when such lithium electrodeposition occurs, it leads to capacity degradation of the lithium-ion battery. Here, lithium electrodeposition refers to the deposition of lithium metal on the negative electrode surface through the electroreduction of lithium ions.

[0004] In addition, ternary cathode materials (NMC) based on Li(Ni-Co-Mn)O2 are used as positive electrode active materials in lithium-ion batteries. It is known that when using layered rock-salt type cathode materials such as ternary cathode materials as positive electrode active materials, the rock-salt structure is destroyed and becomes an irreversible reaction when the charging rate is increased by charging, i.e., more Li is extracted from the molecules. This reduces the number of usable Li sites in the cathode during charging and discharging, resulting in capacity degradation of the lithium-ion battery.

[0005] When lithium-ion batteries deteriorate, their charging or regeneration output decreases compared to when they are new, resulting in problems such as a shorter driving range for electric vehicles.

[0006] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2008-059910 discloses a control system for a lithium-ion battery configured to transmit and receive power with a load. The lithium-ion battery includes: a first electrode and a second electrode, each comprising an active material containing lithium in a solid layer; and an ion conductor disposed between the first and second electrodes for conducting ionized lithium between the electrodes.

The generated battery information is used to generate the load operation command in a manner that avoids overcharging and over-discharging of the lithium-ion battery. The battery state inference unit includes: a first model unit for inferring the electrochemical reaction of lithium at the interface between the active material and the ion conductor in each electrode; a second model unit for inferring the concentration distribution of lithium in each electrode based on a diffusion equation; a third model unit for inferring the ion concentration distribution of lithium in the ion conductor based on a diffusion equation; a fourth model unit for inferring the potential distribution formed according to the current distribution generated in each electrode and the ion conductor based on the reaction current in the electrochemical reaction; and a boundary condition setting unit for setting the boundary conditions at the interface of the diffusion equation used in the second model unit based on a predetermined relationship between the time derivative of the lithium concentration and the reaction current.

[0008] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-041805 discloses a battery analysis method that analyzes the charge-discharge behavior of a lithium-ion secondary battery obtained by adding a conductive additive to the active material of at least one of the positive and negative electrodes. The method is characterized by an electrolyte existing between the active material particles of the electrode containing the conductive additive having a path for electron conduction through the conductive additive. It is assumed that electron conduction is also achieved in the isolated active material particles of that electrode. The method inputs or reads, via an input unit, battery analysis shape data related to the size and shape of the battery being analyzed, physical property data of the materials used according to the aforementioned assumption, and usage condition data regarding charge-discharge current values ​​and times. It then executes a current density distribution calculation unit for calculating the current density distribution and an active material potential distribution calculation unit for calculating the potential distribution within the active material, thereby achieving electron conduction even in the isolated active material particles and generating an electrode reaction induced by lithium ions.

[0009] Previously, to prevent lithium deposition in the negative electrode and damage to the molecular structure of the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode of lithium-ion batteries, output control of lithium-ion batteries involved setting preset limits for current and voltage, and controlling the output within these limits. These limits had a margin between the current and voltage at which the damage to the molecular structure of the positive electrode active material in the negative electrode and the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode could not be prevented. Therefore, it is difficult to say that lithium-ion rechargeable batteries can fully utilize their performance. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the output control device, output control method, and storage medium of the present invention will be described.

[0041] <Structure of the output control device>

[0042] Figure 1This is a block diagram illustrating the main structural components of an output control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the output control device 1 of this embodiment includes an output control unit 11, an arithmetic unit 12, a current measuring unit 13, and a voltage measuring unit 14. Figure 1 In the example, the output control device 1 is connected to a lithium-ion battery BAT and a main control device C, and the main control device C is connected to a main motor M. The output control device 1 supplies the power from the lithium-ion battery BAT to the main control device C while controlling the current and / or voltage within a range that does not cause lithium deposition in the negative electrode and / or structural damage to the active material in the positive electrode.

[0043] The output control unit 11 receives instructions from the arithmetic unit 12 and controls the output current and output voltage of the lithium-ion battery BAT. Specifically, the output control unit 11 controls the output voltage and output current of the lithium-ion battery BAT to decrease, or controls them to remain unchanged.

[0044] The arithmetic unit 12 integrates a processor, memory, and storage, receiving data from the current measuring unit 13 and the voltage measuring unit 14 and storing it in the storage. The processor in the arithmetic unit 12 performs the following processing: calculating the current and / or potential distribution within the electrode thickness of the negative electrode of the lithium-ion battery using a non-uniform reaction model in the electrode thickness direction, comparing it with a preset lower limit potential and / or upper limit current in the negative electrode; and / or calculating the current and / or potential distribution within the electrode thickness of the positive electrode of the lithium-ion battery using a non-uniform reaction model in the electrode thickness direction, comparing it with a preset upper limit potential and / or upper limit current in the positive electrode. Here, the preset lower limit potential and upper limit current values ​​in the negative electrode can be the limits at which lithium deposition occurs at the electrode-electrolyte interface. Furthermore, the preset upper limit potential and upper limit current values ​​in the positive electrode can be the limits at which irreversible structural damage occurs in the positive electrode active material. As a result of the comparison, if the current and / or potential within the electrode thickness deviates from a preset range, an output suppression control command is sent to the output control unit 11 to reduce the output voltage and output current of the lithium-ion battery BAT; if it does not deviate from the preset range, a normal control command is sent to the output control unit 11 to maintain the current state without reducing the output voltage and output current of the lithium-ion battery BAT. The control of the output voltage and / or output current of the lithium-ion battery BAT is preferably performed over time.

[0045] The computation unit 12 is preferably configured to calculate the distribution of current and / or potential within the electrode thickness of the lithium-ion battery BAT by coupling and analyzing the diffusion equation and the equivalent circuit. The diffusion equation is obtained by modeling the relationship between the consumption and supply of lithium ions in the electrode liquid of the lithium-ion battery BAT, and the equivalent circuit is obtained by modeling the relationship between the movement of electrons and potential in the electrode.

[0046] The current measuring unit 13 measures the current supplied by the lithium-ion battery BAT to the output control unit 11 of the output control device 1. The voltage measuring unit 14 measures the voltage of the lithium-ion battery BAT. As these current measuring units 13 and voltage measuring units 14, clamp meters or similar devices that measure current and voltage in a non-contact manner can be used, for example.

[0047] The main control device C is, for example, a VVVF inverter control device, and the main motor M is, for example, a squirrel-cage three-phase induction motor.

[0048] The output control unit 11 and the arithmetic unit 12 in the output control device 1 described above are implemented, for example, by executing a program (software) using a hardware processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). Some or all of these components can also be implemented by hardware (circuit unit, including circuitry) such as LSI (Large Scale Integration), ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), or GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), or through the cooperation of software and hardware. The program can also be pre-stored in a storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or flash memory (a storage device with a non-transitory storage medium), or stored in a removable storage medium such as a DVD or CD-ROM (a non-transitory storage medium), and installed by mounting the storage medium to a drive device.

[0049] The output control device 1 described above can be mounted on a mobile body that moves via an electric motor. This mobile body also carries a lithium-ion battery (BAT) for supplying power to drive the electric motor. Furthermore, the output control device 1 mounted on the mobile body controls the output of the lithium-ion battery (BAT) mounted on the mobile body. It should be noted that the lithium-ion battery (BAT) is designed to be easily attachable and detachable from the mobile body; for example, it can be a battery pack, such as a box-type battery.

[0050] Here, the aforementioned mobile vehicle can also be a BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) driven by an electric motor powered by electricity supplied from a lithium-ion battery (BAT). Alternatively, the aforementioned mobile vehicle can also be a PHV (Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle) or PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) that enables hybrid vehicles to have external charging capabilities. It should be noted that the mobile vehicle is not limited to four-wheeled vehicles; it can also be a two-wheeled vehicle for riding, a three-wheeled vehicle (including vehicles with two front wheels and one rear wheel in addition to the front and two rear wheels), an electric bicycle, or an electric boat, etc.

[0051] <Operation of the output control device>

[0052] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of an output control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The process shown in the flowchart is initiated, for example, by giving the output control device 1 a discharge start instruction for the lithium-ion battery BAT.

[0053] when Figure 2 When the process in the flowchart shown begins, firstly, the calculation unit 12 calculates the current and / or potential distribution within the electrode thickness of the negative and / or positive electrode of the lithium-ion battery based on the data received from the current measuring unit 13 and the voltage measuring unit 14, using a non-uniform reaction model in the electrode thickness direction (step S1). Next, the calculation unit 12 compares the current and / or potential within the electrode thickness of the negative and / or positive electrode with a preset current and / or potential (step S2). Then, if the current and / or potential within the electrode thickness deviates from the preset range, the calculation unit 12 sends an output control unit 11 command to reduce the output current and / or output voltage of the lithium-ion battery BAT (output suppression control); if the current and / or potential within the electrode thickness does not deviate from the preset range, the calculation unit 12 sends an output control unit 11 command to maintain the status quo without reducing the output voltage and output current of the lithium-ion battery BAT (normal control) (step S3).

[0054] When the output control unit 11 receives an output suppression control command sent by the arithmetic unit 12 to reduce the output current and / or output voltage of the lithium-ion battery BAT, the output control unit 11 performs control to reduce the output current and / or voltage of the lithium-ion battery BAT (step S3).

[0055] When the output control unit 11 receives a command from the arithmetic unit 12 to maintain the current state without reducing the output current and / or output voltage of the lithium-ion battery BAT (normal control), the output control unit 11 performs control to maintain the current state of the output current and / or voltage of the lithium-ion battery BAT (step S4).

[0056] The output voltage and / or output current of the lithium-ion battery BAT are controlled over time. In order to prevent lithium deposition in the negative electrode and / or damage to the structure of the active material in the positive electrode, the current and / or potential within the electrode thickness are calculated in real time, and the output voltage and output current of the lithium-ion battery BAT in the output control unit 11 are controlled.

[0057] The calculation of current and / or potential within the electrode thickness in the computation unit 12 is performed by coupled analysis of the diffusion equation and the equivalent circuit. The diffusion equation is obtained by modeling the relationship between the consumption and supply of lithium ions in the electrolyte within the electrode, and the equivalent circuit is obtained by modeling the relationship between the movement of electrons and potential within the electrode.

[0058] Figure 2 The process shown in the flowchart ends, for example, by giving the output control device 1 a discharge stop instruction for the lithium-ion battery BAT (steps S5 and S6).

[0059] Figure 3 This is a graph showing the current distribution along the thickness direction of the electrodes of a lithium-ion battery calculated by the arithmetic unit of the output control device according to an embodiment of the present invention (horizontal axis: distance, vertical axis: Faraday current).

[0060] Figure 4 This is a graph showing the current distribution along the thickness direction of the electrodes of a lithium-ion battery calculated by the arithmetic unit of the output control device according to an embodiment of the present invention (horizontal axis: distance, vertical axis: overvoltage).

[0061] When reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the current and / or potential within the electrode thickness tend to increase over time as the lithium-ion battery discharges.

[0062] As described above, according to this embodiment, the distribution of current and / or potential within the electrode thickness of the lithium-ion battery is calculated using a non-uniform reaction model along the electrode thickness direction. This distribution is then compared to a pre-set range, and based on the comparison result, the output voltage and / or output current of the lithium-ion battery are controlled. Furthermore, the calculation of the current and / or potential distribution within the electrode thickness of the lithium-ion battery is performed through coupled analysis of a diffusion equation and an equivalent circuit. The diffusion equation is obtained by modeling the relationship between the consumption and supply of lithium ions in the electrode fluid, and the equivalent circuit is obtained by modeling the relationship between the movement of electrons and potential within the electrode. This reduces the risk of lithium deposition in the negative electrode and / or structural damage to the active material in the positive electrode, resulting in safer use of the lithium-ion battery.

[0063] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the performance of lithium-ion batteries can be fully utilized and energy loss can be reduced, thus contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.

[0064] The implementation methods described above can be performed as follows.

[0065] An apparatus comprising:

[0066] A storage medium that stores computer-readable instructions; and

[0067] The processor connected to the storage medium,

[0068] The processor executes commands that can be read by the computer.

[0069] Therefore, the distribution of current and / or potential in the negative and / or positive electrodes within the electrode thickness of a lithium-ion battery can be calculated using a non-uniform reaction model along the electrode thickness direction.

[0070] Compare with a preset range of voltage and / or potential.

[0071] Based on the results of this comparison, the output voltage and / or output current of the lithium-ion battery are controlled.
