Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium battery life detection, and particularly relates to a method and system for rapidly detecting the cycle life of a lithium battery based on the principle of accelerated aging. Background Art
[0002] The statements in this part merely provide background technical information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Currently, lithium batteries are increasingly widely used in the field of electric vehicles, and the detection technology for their performance indicators is becoming increasingly mature. Detection technologies such as cycle life, SOC (State of Charge) / SOH (State of Health), offline and online have become the key to evaluating the performance of power batteries. The length of the detection cycle directly affects the real-time monitoring and accurate evaluation of the performance of lithium batteries. Generally speaking, the detection cycle should be flexibly adjusted according to factors such as the type of lithium battery, charge-discharge rate, and environmental conditions. Different types of lithium batteries, such as lithium cobalt oxide batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries, have different performance characteristics, so the requirements for the detection cycle will also vary.
[0004] Particularly, when detecting the cycle life of a lithium battery, a battery cycle charge-discharge instrument is conventionally used to perform charge-discharge tests on the battery under limited conditions (temperature, standing time, discharge rate, etc.), and the number of cycles when the capacity decays to 80% is used as the key indicator to measure the cycle life of the lithium battery. This conventional method faces bottleneck problems such as a long detection cycle, cumbersome steps, and low accuracy. To improve the detection speed of the lithium battery cycle life and shorten the detection cycle, currently, sampling detection and experiments are used to directly or indirectly detect the cycle life of the lithium battery by obtaining the relationship between the terminal voltage, internal resistance, and capacity curve of the lithium battery. To a certain extent, the detection time is shortened, but these methods cannot essentially reduce the detection cycle, and the effect is limited. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a method and system for rapidly detecting the cycle life of a lithium battery based on the principle of accelerated aging. The solution heats the lithium battery externally to the detection temperature and keeps it constant, and then performs cycle charge-discharge tests; based on the experimental test data, a temperature rise-acceleration matrix combining the charge-discharge rate, standing time, and number of cycles is established, and the simulated annealing algorithm is used for optimization to obtain the quantitative relationship between the number of cycles and the remaining capacity at the optimal temperature. Based on the principle of accelerated aging, a functional relationship between the remaining capacity, detection temperature, and number of cycles is established, and the equivalent number of cycles of the battery at the conventional detection temperature (25°C) is obtained, essentially reducing the cycle charge-discharge detection cycle, reducing energy consumption, and improving the detection efficiency of the cycle life of power lithium batteries.

The solution heats the lithium battery to the detection temperature by an external constant temperature and keeps it at a constant temperature, and then conducts a charge-discharge cycle test; based on the experimental test data, a temperature rise-acceleration matrix combining the charge-discharge rate, the standing time, and the number of cycles is established, and the simulated annealing algorithm is used for optimization to obtain the quantitative relationship between the number of cycles and the remaining capacity at the optimal temperature. Based on the principle of accelerated aging, a functional relationship between the remaining capacity, the detection temperature, and the number of cycles is established, and the equivalent number of cycles of the battery at the conventional detection temperature (25 °C) is obtained, which essentially reduces the charge-discharge cycle detection period, reduces energy consumption, and improves the detection efficiency of the cycle life of power lithium batteries.
[0033] (2) Compared with the cycle life attenuation process of a lithium battery at the conventional detection temperature, the solution of the present invention is based on the occurrence of accelerated aging side reactions inside the lithium battery after heating by an external heat source, which intensifies the capacity attenuation and indirectly reduces the number of charge-discharge cycles, effectively shortening the detection period of the cycle life.

[0046] Term Explanation:
[0047] The equivalent cycle number of a lithium battery refers to the number of times of cyclic charge and discharge of the lithium battery after heating, and through accelerated aging inference, the equivalent cycle number of the lithium battery at the conventional detection temperature is obtained.
[0048] Embodiment 1
[0049] The purpose of this embodiment is to provide a rapid detection method for the cycle life of a lithium battery based on the principle of accelerated aging.
[0050] A rapid detection method for the cycle life of a lithium battery based on the principle of accelerated aging includes:
[0051] Obtaining test data of the number of cyclic charge and discharge times when the capacity of the lithium battery decays to a preset percentage at different temperatures;
[0052] Based on the test data, constructing a temperature rise - acceleration matrix combining charge - discharge rate, standing time, and the number of cyclic charge and discharge times;
[0053] Based on the temperature rise - acceleration matrix, with the goal of minimizing the number of cyclic charge and discharge times, obtaining the optimal heating temperature and its corresponding minimum number of cyclic charge and discharge times of the lithium battery;
[0054] According to the minimum number of cyclic charge and discharge times at the optimal temperature, adopting polynomial fitting to construct a functional relationship between the remaining capacity of the lithium battery, the detection temperature, and the number of cycles;
[0055] According to the number of cyclic charge and discharge times when the lithium battery decays to a preset percentage at the optimal temperature, combined with the functional relationship, obtaining the equivalent cycle charge times of the battery at the preset conventional detection temperature.
[0056] In specific implementation, the functional relationship is specifically expressed as follows:
[0057] Q loss =a 1 N 1 / 2 +a 2 N+a 3
[0058] a i =kexp(-Ea / RT), i = 1, 2, 3
[0059] Wherein, a 1 、a 2 、a 3They are respectively functions of temperature and discharge rate. N is the number of battery cycles, k is the pre-exponential factor, Ea is the activation energy, R is the universal gas constant, T represents the absolute thermodynamic temperature, and Q loss is the total capacity loss value caused by temperature rise aging.
[0060] In a specific implementation, the construction of the temperature rise-acceleration matrix is specifically as follows: taking the charge rate, discharge rate, rest time, and number of cycles as matrix dimensions, and taking the temperature rise as the eigenvalue of the matrix, a temperature rise-acceleration matrix representing the coupling relationship between multiple indicators is obtained.
[0061] In a specific implementation, aiming to minimize the number of cyclic charge and discharge, the optimal heating temperature and the corresponding minimum number of cyclic charge and discharge of the lithium battery are obtained as follows: using the simulated annealing algorithm, based on the data in the temperature rise-acceleration matrix, randomly select a test temperature, and jointly use its corresponding charge and discharge rate, rest time, and number of cycles as the initial solution. Based on the pre-constructed objective function, with temperature, charge and discharge rate, and rest time as inputs and the number of cyclic charge and discharge as the output, by minimizing the number of cyclic charge and discharge, the optimal heating temperature and the corresponding minimum number of cyclic charge and discharge of the lithium battery are obtained.
[0062] In a specific implementation, the equivalent cyclic charge number of the battery at the preset conventional detection temperature is obtained specifically by using the following formula:
[0063]
[0064] where N 2 (25°C, SOC) is the equivalent cyclic charge number of the battery at the conventional detection temperature of 25°C, and N 1 (T x , SOC) is the minimum number of cyclic charge and discharge of the lithium battery at the optimal heating temperature, and T x is the optimal heating temperature, Q 0 is the standard capacity of the battery, SOC refers to the battery capacity, and Q loss is the total capacity loss value caused by temperature rise aging.
[0065] In a specific implementation, the acquisition of the test data is specifically as follows: dividing a number of lithium batteries into several groups according to the test temperature; heating each group of lithium batteries to its corresponding test temperature and keeping it constant; after maintaining the preset rest time, performing a standard cyclic charge and discharge experiment until the capacity of the lithium battery decays to the preset percentage to obtain the test data.
[0066] In a specific implementation, in the acquisition of the test data, the charge and discharge rate, rest time, and charge and discharge cut-off voltage of the lithium battery are all consistent with the standard cyclic charge and discharge test.
[0067] Specifically, for ease of understanding, the solution of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0068] The SOC of a lithium battery represents its ability to store charge capacity, and numerically equals the percentage of the available capacity to the rated capacity. As shown in Equation (1):
[0069]
[0070] Among them, P i is the available capacity, P is the actual capacity, and the remaining capacity is (1 - SOC)%.
[0071] The cycle life of a lithium battery refers to the maximum number of charge and discharge cycles reached when the actual capacity decays to 80% of the rated capacity under certain usage conditions. Generally, in experiments, a charge and discharge cycle tester is used to test the cycle life of a lithium battery, and the test is carried out in an environment with a test temperature of 25°C ± 2°C, a relative humidity of 25% - 85%, and an atmospheric pressure of 86 kPa - 106 kPa.
[0072] Compared with the decay of the lithium battery life caused by charge and discharge cycles at a conventional temperature (25°C), the cycle charge and discharge life detection based on external heat source heating aims to promote the occurrence of internal aging side reactions of the lithium battery by externally applying a constant heat source to accelerate the capacity loss of the lithium battery on the premise of avoiding violent side reactions of the lithium battery, equivalently simulating the aging behavior during the use of the lithium battery, and obtaining the quantitative relationship among the remaining capacity - detection temperature - number of cycles of the lithium battery by analyzing the relationship between the internal microscopic aging mechanism and temperature rise of the lithium battery, so as to obtain the life decay situation of the lithium battery during long-term use in a relatively short time.
[0073] Specifically, the solution of this embodiment specifically includes the following processing steps:
[0074] Step 1: Based on the principle of accelerated aging, obtain the functional relationship between the capacity loss of the lithium battery, temperature, and number of cycles;
[0075] Among them, in the above Step 1, based on the test data of the lithium battery at the optimal temperature obtained from experiments and the principle of accelerated aging, combined with the Arrhenius equation, the functional relationship between the capacity loss of the lithium battery, temperature, and number of cycles is obtained, that is, the following Equation (2).
[0076] Specifically, the Arrhenius equation (i.e., the Arrhenius formula) is an empirical formula for the relationship between the chemical reaction rate constant and temperature, and its specific expression is:
[0077] k = Ae -Ea / RT (Exponential form).
[0078] Among them, k is the rate constant, R is the molar gas constant, T is the thermodynamic temperature, Ea is the apparent activation energy, and A is the pre-exponential factor.
[0079] Preferably, in the first step, the specific method of target fitting is as follows: The polynomial fitting method is adopted, the polynomial order is 2, the optimal fitting parameters are determined, and the function relation after fitting is as shown in formula (2) below.
[0080] Q loss = a 1 N 1 / 2 + a 2 N + a 3 (2)
[0081] In the above formula, it is the relationship between the lithium capacity decay and the number of cycles. Among them, Q loss is the total value of capacity loss caused by temperature rise aging, a 1 , a 2 , a 3 are respectively functions of temperature and discharge rate, and N is the number of battery cycles. Among them, a i = kexp(-Ea / RT), k is the pre-exponential factor, Ea is the activation energy, R is the universal gas constant, and T represents the thermodynamic absolute temperature.
[0082] In the specific implementation, the acquisition of the test data specifically includes the following processing procedures:
[0083] First step, select X lithium batteries of all samples for grouping, and each group of several lithium batteries is spirally wound with a heating wire outside to make the outside of the lithium battery evenly heated.
[0084] Second step, set the heating range as [25°C ± 2°C, 50°C ± 2°C]. According to the above grouping, each group of lithium batteries is heated to different interval temperatures by the heating wire at a constant temperature, and the heating time is t i . Specifically, when the temperature of a certain group of lithium batteries reaches T i , keep it at a constant temperature. It should be noted that the value of T i should be greater than 25°C ± 2°C, that is, greater than the temperature under the conventional detection conditions, and at the same time should be less than 50°C ± 2°C to prevent further complex and dangerous side reactions caused by too high external temperature of the lithium battery.
[0085] Third step, conduct a standard cycle charge and discharge experiment. The experimental conditions are set as follows:
[0086] 1. The termination index of the lithium battery cycle charge and discharge test is that the lithium battery capacity decays to 80%;
[0087] 2. Set the charge and discharge rate, rest time, charge and discharge cut-off voltage and other conditions to be the same as the values specified in the standard cycle charge and discharge test.
[0088] Step 4: Fitting experimental data. According to the cyclic charge and discharge experimental data of each group of lithium batteries, through polynomial fitting, the remaining capacity - cyclic charge and discharge times curve of each group of lithium batteries is obtained.
[0089] Step 2: Determine the equivalent cyclic charge and discharge times when the capacity of the lithium battery decays to 80% at the conventional temperature.
[0090] In the above Step 2, according to the cyclic charge and discharge times when the capacity of the lithium battery decays to 80% at the optimal temperature, combined with the function relationship of battery remaining capacity - detection temperature - cycle times, the equivalent cyclic charge and discharge times of the battery at the conventional detection temperature are obtained.
[0091] Among them, the acquisition of the cyclic charge and discharge times when the capacity of the lithium battery decays to 80% at the optimal temperature specifically adopts the following technical concept: According to the experimental data, establish a temperature rise - acceleration matrix combining charge - discharge rate, standing time, and cycle times, and use the simulated annealing algorithm to obtain the minimum cycle times at the optimal temperature. It specifically includes the following steps:
[0092] Step 1: Data collection and state estimation. Collect the experimental data of the battery cyclic charge and discharge tester in the temperature range [20°C, 50°C], remove outliers and missing values of other indicators such as temperature and cycle times to ensure data quality.
[0093] Step 2: Establishment of the temperature rise - acceleration matrix. Take the charge - discharge rate, discharge rate, standing time, and cycle times as the matrix dimensions, and take the temperature rise as the eigenvalue of the matrix to construct a temperature rise - acceleration matrix considering the coupling relationship between each indicator, specifically expressed as the column vectors being the charge - discharge rate, discharge rate, standing time, and cycle times respectively.
[0094] Step 3: Optimization by the simulated annealing algorithm. Based on the temperature rise - acceleration matrix data, randomly select a set of temperature, combined charge - discharge rate, standing time, and cycle times as the initial solution. Define the objective function, whose input is charge - discharge indicators such as temperature, charge - discharge rate, and standing time, and the output is the corresponding cyclic charge and discharge times. The optimization goal is to minimize the cyclic charge and discharge times, and the specific algorithm process is as Figure 3 shown.
[0095] Step 4: Result analysis and optimization. Record the results of each simulation annealing search of temperature, combined charge - discharge rate, standing time, and cycle times to obtain the minimum cyclic charge and discharge times N of the lithium battery at the optimal heating temperature T x under. Part of the heating curve is as x shown. According to the analysis results, adjust the parameters such as the initial temperature, discharge rate, and standing time of the simulated annealing algorithm to improve the search efficiency and result accuracy. Figure 4 shown. According to the analysis results, adjust the initial temperature, discharge rate, standing time and other parameters of the simulated annealing algorithm to improve the search efficiency and result accuracy.
[0096] It is easy to know that since the temperature rise accelerates the internal aging side reactions of the lithium battery, causing capacity loss of the lithium battery to a certain extent, the minimum number of cycles N x is less than the number of cycles in the standard cycle life test, shortening the detection period.
[0097] Preferably, in the second step, the charge and discharge times N of the lithium battery at the optimal temperature 1 , according to formula (2), the cyclic charge and discharge times N of the lithium battery at the conventional detection temperature are obtained 2 , and a capacity-temperature-cycle number function relationship needs to be established. The calculation formula is:
[0098]
[0099] where Q 0 refers to the standard capacity of the battery, SOC refers to the battery capacity, and Q loss is the total capacity loss value caused by temperature rise aging.
[0100] It should be noted here that formula (2) is the expression of capacity loss after temperature rise with temperature and cycle number, and formula (3) is the expression at the conventional temperature (25°C), that is, the final target formula.
[0101] Currently, for the conventional lithium battery cycle life test, generally according to GB / T2900.41-2008 and the standards for the cycle performance requirements of power batteries for electric vehicles, the detection method is generally to conduct charge and discharge cycle experiments on the lithium battery under a cycle charge and discharge instrument. This test cycle takes about one week, with a long time and high energy consumption.
[0102] This detection method is proposed based on the original detection. First, the temperature of the lithium battery is raised and then charge and discharge cycle experiments are carried out. After obtaining the experimental data, using the simulated annealing algorithm, the remaining capacity-detection temperature-cycle number curve of the battery at the optimal temperature is obtained. According to the principle of accelerated aging, the cyclic charge and discharge times at the conventional temperature are equivalently deduced, effectively shortening the battery cyclic charge and discharge detection period. The specific detection steps are as follows:
[0103] First, group the sample batteries, with each group containing several single cells.
[0104] Furthermore, determine the heating temperature of the lithium battery. Within the heating range [25°C ± 2°C, 40°C ± 2°C], each group of batteries is preheated according to different heating temperatures. It should be noted that the temperature value reached during preheating should be higher than the conventional detection temperature.
[0105] Furthermore, conduct the charge and discharge cycle test of the lithium battery.
[0106] Specifically, the charge and discharge cycle method is as follows:
[0107] ①Standard 1C charging, and the charging steps and detailed instructions can refer to the detection steps provided by the corresponding battery manufacturer.
[0108] ②Let it stand for 30 min to keep the battery temperature constant.
[0109] ③Discharge at a 1C rate until the state of charge is 0%, and the detailed discharge cut-off state can refer to the requirements in the battery manufacturer's instructions.
[0110] In addition, during the cyclic charge and discharge process, when the temperature fluctuates or is higher than the constant temperature, the standing time of the battery can be appropriately increased to keep the temperature constant. The test environment should also be carried out in an environment with a relative humidity of 25% - 85% and an atmospheric pressure of 86 kPa - 106 kPa.
[0111] The above is to complete one charge and discharge cycle. In particular, after N cycles, if the battery capacity decays to less than 80% after the (N + 1)th cycle, that is, the cyclic charge and discharge capacity value of the battery exceeds the [20% - 100%] interval, the detection stops, and the final number of cycles is used as an index to measure the battery cycle life. In addition, when the battery voltage and other indicators do not meet the test requirements during the cyclic charging process, the cycle life detection stops.
[0112] Furthermore, according to the experimental data of each group of batteries, a temperature rise - acceleration matrix is constructed, and the simulated annealing algorithm is used for optimization to obtain the minimum cyclic charge and discharge times of the battery at the optimal temperature. Based on this group of data, a remaining capacity - detection temperature - number of cycles curve at the optimal temperature is further obtained.
[0113] Finally, based on the principle of accelerated aging, the cyclic charge and discharge times of lithium batteries at the conventional detection temperature are derived, that is, the cycle life of the battery at the conventional detection temperature is equivalently obtained.
