Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage battery management, and specifically relates to a battery balancing method, system, device and medium suitable for improving the capacity utilization rate of battery packs in energy storage systems. Background Art

[0002] In practical applications, battery packs are usually balanced to improve the consistency between cells within a battery pack. The goals of existing battery pack balancing strategies usually include voltage consistency, SOC consistency, and capacity consistency. However, the above balancing methods have the following problems:

[0003] 1. The basic principle of voltage consistency is to determine whether balancing is required by comparing the voltage difference between each cell with a preset voltage threshold. While it is easy to use voltage consistency as a balancing target, voltage is an external parameter of the battery and is easily affected by external and internal factors, which does not maximize the utilization of the battery pack capacity.

[0004] 2. Balancing based on SOC consistency requires estimating the battery SOC and using a suitable circuit topology to ensure that the SOC difference of each cell is within a certain range. This method is suitable for battery packs with small differences in cell capacity and can fully utilize the battery pack capacity. However, the balancing effect is limited for battery packs with certain differences in cell capacity.

[0005] 3. The balancing target based on capacity consistency can be divided into two types: based on the consistency of the remaining charging capacity and based on the consistency of the remaining discharging capacity. The principles are similar, but the key is that there is a certain degree of difficulty in estimating the capacity, so it is less used. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a battery balancing method, system, device and medium suitable for improving the capacity utilization of battery packs in energy storage systems, so as to solve the problems raised in the background technology.

[0007] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a battery balancing method suitable for improving the capacity utilization rate of a battery pack in an energy storage system, the method comprising:

[0009] Obtain the battery pack's charge and discharge condition data set and dynamic OCV data within a set period, and determine whether there is a cell with the smallest capacity in the battery pack based on the set determination conditions and the condition data set. If so, use the cell with the smallest capacity as the reference cell;

[0010] When the battery pack temperature and current conditions of the charge and discharge condition data set are consistent with those of the dynamic OCV data, the voltage data of each cell is fitted to obtain the SOC of each cell in the battery pack;

[0011] Initiate cell balancing based on the relationship between the difference between the reference cell SOC and the other cell SOCs and the preset first difference threshold and second difference threshold during charging and discharging;

[0012] The determination condition is that when the rank of a cell in the highest or lowest voltage cell numbering sequence and the frequency of occurrence of the same rank are both within a set range, the cell is determined to be the cell with the smallest capacity.

[0013] As a further optimization solution of the present invention, the operating condition data set includes the highest cell voltage, the lowest cell voltage, the highest voltage cell number and the lowest voltage cell number.

[0014] As a further optimization solution of the present invention, when the charge and discharge condition data set is consistent with the battery pack temperature and current conditions of the dynamic OCV data, fitting the voltage data of each cell to obtain the SOC of each cell in the battery pack includes:

[0015] During the process of acquiring the charge and discharge operating condition data set, when the battery pack temperature and current conditions are consistent with the temperature and current conditions for acquiring the dynamic OCV data, the voltage data of each cell is input into the fitted function relationship to calculate the SOC of each cell, as shown in the following formula:

[0016] SOC=k0·OCV 7 +k1·OCV 6 +k2·OCV 5 +k3·OCV 4 +k4·OCV 3 +k5·OCV 2 +k6·OCV+k7

[0017] In the above formula, k0 to k7 are coefficients of the functional relationship; OCV is the dynamic OCV data, that is, the single-cell operating voltage.

[0018] As a further optimization solution of the present invention, the method of starting cell balancing according to the relationship between the difference between the reference cell SOC and the other cell SOCs and a preset first difference threshold ΔSOC1 during the charge and discharge process includes:

Balancing is turned off when the target balancing time is reached;

[0020] The calculation method for the target equilibrium time of each monomer is as follows:

[0021]

[0022] In the above formula, T i is the equilibrium time of the ith balanced monomer; SOC i is the SOC of the ith balanced monomer; SOC s is the SOC of the benchmark monomer; C e is the nominal capacity of the battery pack; δ is the capacity temperature coefficient; I is the balancing current.

[0023] As a further optimization solution of the present invention, the method of initiating cell balancing according to the relationship between the difference between the reference cell SOC and the other cell SOCs and a preset first difference threshold during charging and discharging also includes:

[0024] Under the discharge condition, when the SOC of other cells is lower than the SOC of the reference cell and the difference between the two is greater than or equal to the second difference threshold ΔSOC2, balancing is turned on to balance the discharge of the reference cell. When the target balancing time is reached, balancing is turned off.

[0028] As a further optimization solution of the present invention, the determining whether there is a cell with the smallest capacity in the battery pack according to the set determination conditions and the operating condition data set further includes:

[0029] If it does not exist, the SOC difference between each cell in the battery pack and the lowest cell SOC is determined, and cell balancing is initiated based on the relationship between the SOC difference during the charge and discharge process and the preset third difference threshold ΔSOC3. The target balancing time for each cell is calculated as follows:

[0030]

[0031] In the above formula, T i is the equilibrium time of the i-th balanced monomer; ΔSOC i is the SOC difference between the ith balanced cell and the lowest cell; C e is the nominal capacity of the battery pack; δ is the capacity temperature coefficient; I is the balancing current.

If so, the cell with the smallest capacity is used as a reference cell;

[0035] A fitting module is used to fit the voltage data of each cell to obtain the SOC of each cell in the battery pack when the charge and discharge condition data set is consistent with the battery pack temperature and current conditions of the dynamic OCV data;

[0048] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technical personnel in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] Based on the existing technology, the inconsistency of battery cells will greatly affect the utilization rate of the battery pack. Figure 3 , which shows a schematic diagram of battery pack inconsistency in the prior art. Assuming that the series battery pack contains three cells B1, B2, and B3, among which B2 has the smallest capacity, the figure shows several situations where capacity inconsistency and SOC inconsistency between cells are superimposed. Due to the existence of the battery pack's "barrel effect", these situations will produce different battery pack utilization rates during charging and discharging, as shown below:

[0051] In Figure (a), when charging, the first cell to be fully charged is the cell B2 with the smallest capacity. When discharging, the first cell to be fully discharged is also the cell B2 with the smallest capacity. That is, the first cell to be fully charged and the first cell to be fully discharged are both the cells with the smallest capacity. At this time, the available capacity AC of the battery pack is the capacity of the cell with the smallest capacity.

[0052] In Figure (b), when charging, the first cell to be fully charged is cell B3, and when discharging, the first cell to be fully discharged is cell B1. That is, the first cell to be fully charged and the first cell to be fully discharged are not the cells with the smallest capacity. At this point, the figure shows that the available capacity AC of the battery pack is even smaller than the capacity of cell B2.

[0053] In Figure (c), when charging, cells B1 and B3 are the first to be fully charged. When discharging, cell B2 is the first to be fully discharged. That is, the cell with the smallest capacity is not the first to be fully charged, but the first to be fully discharged. At this time, it can be seen from the figure that the available capacity AC of the battery pack is less than the capacity of cell B2.

[0054] In Figure (d), when charging, the first cell to be fully charged is cell B2, and when discharging, the first cells to be fully discharged are B1 and B3. That is, the cell with the smallest capacity is fully charged first, and the cell with the smallest capacity is not the first to be fully discharged. At this time, it can be seen from the figure that the available capacity AC of the battery pack is less than the capacity of cell B2.

[0055] Therefore, in theory, the maximum utilization capacity that a battery pack can achieve is the capacity of the smallest cell in the battery pack. That is, when the cells that are first filled and discharged during charging and discharging are both the cells with the smallest capacity, the battery pack capacity utilization rate reaches its maximum.

[0056] In summary, to maximize the utilization of battery pack capacity, it is necessary to ensure that the cells that are first fully charged and first fully discharged during charging and discharging are the cells with the smallest capacity, such as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a battery balancing method suitable for improving the capacity utilization rate of the battery pack of the energy storage system, and the method includes:

[0057] Obtain the battery pack's charge and discharge condition data set and dynamic OCV data within a set period, and determine whether there is a cell with the smallest capacity in the battery pack based on the set determination conditions and the condition data set. If so, use the cell with the smallest capacity as the reference cell;

[0058] When the battery pack temperature and current conditions of the charge and discharge condition data set are consistent with those of the dynamic OCV data, the voltage data of each cell is fitted to obtain the SOC of each cell in the battery pack;

[0059] Initiate cell balancing based on the relationship between the difference between the reference cell SOC and the other cell SOCs and the preset first difference threshold and second difference threshold during charging and discharging;

[0060] The determination condition is that when the position of a certain cell in the highest or lowest voltage cell numbering sequence and the frequency of occurrence of the same position are both within a set range, the cell is determined to be the cell with the smallest capacity.

[0061] In this embodiment, actual charge and discharge operating condition data of the battery pack within a certain period of time (such as one week) is periodically collected and acquired. The operating condition data set includes the highest cell voltage, the lowest cell voltage, the highest voltage cell number, and the lowest voltage cell number.

[0062] As an example, in this embodiment, based on the determination conditions and the operating condition data set, the cell with the approximately minimum capacity in the battery pack within the cycle is determined by statistical calculation as follows:

[0063] The rank and frequency of the cell number with the highest cell voltage appearing in the charging data, as well as the cell number with the lowest cell voltage appearing in the discharge data within the time period are statistically calculated, and the cell numbers are sorted in descending order by frequency respectively. Based on the statistical results, the method for determining the cell with the smallest capacity is as follows: if a cell ranks (ranks) in the top 3 (including the 3rd) positions in both the highest voltage cell number sorting and the lowest voltage cell number sorting, and the frequencies are both greater than or equal to 0.3, then the cell is determined to be the cell with approximately the smallest capacity.

[0064] The statistical results are shown in Table 1:

[0065]

[0066]

[0067] Table 1

[0068] From the results in Table 1, it can be seen that in the current time period, the No. 1 cell of the battery pack is the cell with the smallest capacity, and is set as the above-mentioned reference cell.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the charge and discharge condition data set is consistent with the battery pack temperature and current conditions of the dynamic OCV data, the voltage data of each cell is fitted to obtain the SOC of each cell in the battery pack, including:

[0070] During the charge and discharge process of acquiring the working condition data set, when the battery pack temperature and current conditions are consistent with the temperature and current conditions for acquiring the dynamic OCV data, the voltage data of each cell is input into the fitted function relationship to calculate the SOC of each cell, as shown in the following formula:

[0071] SOC=k0·OCV 7 +k1·OCV 6 +k2·OCV 5 +k3·OCV 4 +k4·OCV 3 +k5·OCV 2 +k6·OCV+k7

[0072] In the above formula, k0 to k7 are coefficients of the functional relationship; OCV is the dynamic OCV data, that is, the single-cell operating voltage.

[0073] It is understandable that dynamic OCV data is mainly obtained through test experiments. Since the charging and discharging conditions of energy storage systems are generally relatively simple and fixed, charge and discharge tests are carried out in advance using temperature and current conditions consistent with future actual operating conditions to obtain two-dimensional data of single-cell operating voltage and SOC, namely dynamic OCV data. Based on this data, the above-mentioned high-order polynomial method is used to fit the functional relationship between the two.

[0074] In this embodiment, cell balancing is initiated based on the relationship between the difference between the reference cell SOC and the other cell SOCs and a preset first difference threshold ΔSOC1 during the charge and discharge process, including:

[0075] (1) Under charging conditions, when there are other cells with SOC greater than the reference cell SOC and the difference between the two is greater than or equal to the first difference threshold ΔSOC1, balancing is turned on and the cells with SOC greater than the reference cell SOC are discharged for balancing. When the target balancing time is reached, balancing is turned off. The first difference threshold ΔSOC1 can be 2%;

[0076] The calculation method for the target equilibrium time of each monomer is as follows:

[0077]

[0078] In the above formula, T i is the equilibrium time of the ith balanced monomer; SOC i is the SOC of the ith balanced monomer; SOC s is the SOC of the benchmark monomer; C e is the nominal capacity of the battery pack; δ is the capacity temperature coefficient; I is the balancing current.

[0079] In this embodiment, cell balancing is initiated according to the relationship between the difference between the reference cell SOC and the other cell SOCs and a preset first difference threshold value during the charge and discharge process, further comprising:

[0080] (2) Under the discharge condition, when there are other cells with SOC lower than the reference cell SOC and the difference between the two is greater than or equal to the second difference threshold ΔSOC2, the balancing is turned on and the reference cell is discharged evenly. When the target balancing time is reached, the balancing is turned off. The second difference threshold ΔSOC2 can be set to 2%;

[0081] The calculation method of the benchmark single target equilibrium time is as follows:

[0082]

[0083] In the above formula, T s is the equilibrium time of the benchmark monomer; SOC min The lowest single SOC; SOC s is the SOC of the benchmark monomer; C e is the nominal capacity of the battery pack; δ is the capacity temperature coefficient; I is the balancing current.

[0084] In this embodiment, determining whether there is a cell with the smallest capacity in the battery pack according to the set determination conditions and the operating condition data set further includes:

[0085] If no cell with approximately the smallest capacity exists, it indicates that no cell with approximately the smallest capacity has been found. The SOC difference between each cell in the battery pack and the lowest cell SOC is determined. Cell balancing is initiated based on the relationship between the SOC difference during charge and discharge and a preset third difference threshold ΔSOC3. The third difference threshold ΔSOC3 can be 2%. The target balancing time for each cell is calculated as follows:

[0086]

[0087] In the above formula, T i is the equilibrium time of the i-th balanced monomer; ΔSOC i is the SOC difference between the ith balanced cell and the lowest cell; C e is the nominal capacity of the battery pack; δ is the capacity temperature coefficient; I is the balancing current.

[0088] like Figure 2 As shown, based on the same inventive concept, this embodiment also proposes a battery balancing system suitable for improving the capacity utilization rate of the battery pack of the energy storage system, the system comprising:

[0089] The first determination module is configured to obtain a data set of charge and discharge operating conditions of the battery pack within a set period, and dynamic OCV data, and determine whether there is a cell with the smallest capacity in the battery pack according to the set determination conditions and the operating condition data set. If so, the cell with the smallest capacity is used as a reference cell;

[0090] A fitting module is used to fit the voltage data of each cell to obtain the SOC of each cell in the battery pack when the charge and discharge condition data set is consistent with the battery pack temperature and current conditions of the dynamic OCV data;

[0091] A first balancing module is configured to start cell balancing according to a relationship between a difference between a reference cell SOC and the SOCs of other cells and a preset first difference threshold and a second difference threshold during charging and discharging;

[0092] The determination condition is that when the position of a certain cell in the highest or lowest voltage cell numbering sequence and the frequency of occurrence of the same position are both within a set range, the cell is determined to be the cell with the smallest capacity.

[0093] Furthermore, the system also includes:

[0094] A second determination module is configured to determine whether there is a cell with the smallest capacity in the battery pack according to the set determination conditions and the operating condition data set, and if not, determine the SOC difference between the SOC of each cell in the battery pack and the SOC of the lowest cell;

[0095] The second balancing module is configured to start battery balancing according to a relationship between an SOC difference and a preset third difference threshold value during the charging and discharging process.

[0096] This embodiment further proposes an electronic device, including a memory module and a logic operation control program stored in the memory module and executable on a processor module. The processor module implements the above battery balancing method when executing the logic operation control program.

[0097] This embodiment further provides a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is executed by the processor module, the above battery balancing method is implemented.

[0098] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the existing battery balancing method that uses capacity consistency as the balancing goal is rarely used because it is difficult to estimate the cell capacity. The present invention finds the cell with the approximately smallest capacity in the battery pack and balances the battery pack based on this cell, ensuring that the cells that are filled up first and discharged first during charging and discharging are the cells with the approximately smallest capacity, thereby maximizing the capacity utilization of the battery pack.

[0099] In this embodiment, after cell balancing is enabled, the cells that are first fully charged and first fully discharged during the charge and discharge process of the battery pack are ensured to be the cells with the smallest capacity, thereby maximizing the capacity utilization of the battery pack. Improving the capacity utilization is the most critical goal of energy storage system balancing management.
