Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of battery state monitoring, and particularly to a method for focused control of battery thermal runaway. Background Art
[0002] The wide application of lithium-ion batteries: Due to their advantages such as high energy density, no radiation, low self-discharge, and low memory effect, with the improvement of battery energy density and charging speed, the safety issues of lithium-ion batteries have become increasingly prominent. Research shows that when batteries are subjected to abusive conditions, safety problems such as thermal runaway may occur. The characteristic of thermal runaway is the generation of intense heat inside the battery, and it may release high-temperature combustible flue gas, releasing a large amount of energy through a chain reaction of chemical components. In a battery module, once a certain battery undergoes thermal runaway, the heat will quickly spread to adjacent batteries, leading to the spread of thermal runaway, which may further trigger more serious safety accidents.
[0003] If only relying on a single monitoring means, such as only monitoring through temperature sensors or gas sensors, it may not be possible to comprehensively capture the complex changes in the battery compartment. This limitation will lead to inaccurate or delayed identification of the thermal runaway risk, thus preventing timely adoption of effective preventive and control measures before a thermal runaway event occurs. This inaccuracy not only increases the risk of accidents in the battery system but may also affect the operation and maintenance efficiency of the entire system, because false warnings or missed reports will result in unnecessary downtime, maintenance, or incorrect operations.
[0004] In summary, the existing technology has a single means of monitoring the battery compartment state, resulting in inaccurate identification of the thermal runaway risk, further affecting the safety and operation and maintenance efficiency of the battery system. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Specifically, by means of the real-time monitoring of the target battery compartment by the battery compartment monitoring unit, the following battery compartment monitoring data sets can be obtained, including battery state parameters, voltage. Through real-time monitoring, the voltage values of each battery in the battery compartment can be obtained. Current, monitoring the current of the battery compartment can reflect the charge and discharge state of the battery and whether there is abnormal current.

By real-time monitoring the temperature of the battery compartment, temperature anomalies can be detected in a timely manner to prevent safety problems such as thermal runaway. Environmental parameters, humidity, the humidity in the battery compartment may affect the performance and lifespan of the battery. By monitoring the humidity, humidity anomalies can be detected in a timely manner and corresponding measures can be taken. Air pressure, changes in air pressure may affect the sealing and safety of the battery. Real-time monitoring of air pressure helps to detect potential safety hazards in a timely manner. Each piece of monitoring data will be accompanied by a timestamp recording the exact time of data collection.
[0020] S2: Perform standardization processing and feature recognition based on the battery compartment monitoring data set to generate battery compartment temperature feature data, battery compartment gas feature data, and battery compartment operation feature data;
[0021] Specifically, remove duplicate data, which can be filled by interpolation, deletion, or estimation based on other relevant features. Identify and process outliers, such as using statistical methods like the IQR rule, Z-score, etc. to identify and process extreme data. Normalize or standardize data with different dimensions so that each feature is comparable. Normalization is to scale the data to the range of [0, 1] or [-1, 1]. Standardization is to convert the data into a distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. For categorical data, such as the identification information of the battery compartment, protection measure activation information, etc., one-hot encoding or label encoding can be used for conversion. Extract data related to temperature from the monitoring data set. Calculate statistical features such as the average value, maximum value, minimum value, standard deviation, etc. of the temperature to generate battery compartment temperature feature data. If the monitoring data set contains gas components or relevant sensor data, such as humidity, air pressure, etc., extract this data. Calculate statistical features such as the concentration, humidity, air pressure of the gas, such as the mean value, variance, etc. to generate battery compartment gas feature data. Analyze the change trend and periodicity of the gas components. Extract data related to the operation state of the battery compartment, such as charge and discharge current, voltage, etc. Calculate statistical features of these operation parameters, such as the average value, peak value, fluctuation range of current and voltage, etc. to generate battery compartment operation feature data. Analyze the time series characteristics of the operation parameters, such as periodic charge and discharge patterns, abnormal operation patterns, etc.
[0022] S3: Build a battery compartment thermal runaway prediction module, where the battery compartment thermal runaway prediction module includes a first thermal runaway prediction unit, a second thermal runaway prediction unit, a third thermal runaway prediction unit, and a thermal runaway fusion prediction unit;
[0023] Specifically, receive and process the temperature characteristic data of the battery compartment, including temperature statistical characteristics, temperature change rate, etc. Use machine learning algorithms such as SVM, random forest, etc. or deep learning models to learn the temperature data and establish an association model between temperature characteristics and thermal runaway. Output the thermal runaway prediction result based on temperature characteristics. Receive and process the gas characteristic data of the battery compartment, such as statistical characteristics and change trends of gas concentration, humidity, air pressure, etc. Adopt models suitable for processing time series data, such as LSTM, GRU, etc., to learn the relationship between gas characteristics and thermal runaway. Output the thermal runaway prediction result based on gas characteristics.

Use algorithms such as regression analysis and neural network to establish a prediction model between operation characteristics and thermal runaway. Output the thermal runaway prediction result based on operation characteristics. Receive the output results of the first, second, and third thermal runaway prediction units. Adopt weighted average, voting mechanism or fusion algorithms such as stacked ensemble learning to fuse the results of each prediction unit. According to the fusion result, judge whether the battery compartment will have thermal runaway and output the final prediction result. A comprehensive and efficient thermal runaway prediction module for the battery compartment can be constructed to provide strong guarantee for the safe operation of the battery system.
[0024] S4: According to the thermal runaway prediction module of the battery compartment, combine the temperature characteristic data, gas characteristic data, and operation characteristic data of the battery compartment to conduct thermal runaway prediction and obtain a comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient;
[0025] Specifically, input the temperature characteristic data of the battery compartment into the first thermal runaway prediction unit. Input the gas characteristic data of the battery compartment into the second thermal runaway prediction unit. Input the operation characteristic data of the battery compartment into the third thermal runaway prediction unit. Each prediction unit processes the data according to its specific algorithm and model and outputs a predicted value or probability of thermal runaway. The thermal runaway fusion prediction unit receives the outputs of the three prediction units. The fusion prediction unit can adopt weighted average, voting, or more complex fusion algorithms such as weight-based fusion and decision tree fusion to synthesize the results of the three prediction units. The result of the fusion is a comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient, which can be a specific value representing the risk degree of thermal runaway or a classification label such as high risk, medium risk, or low risk. Finally, the thermal runaway fusion prediction unit will output a comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient, which represents a comprehensive assessment of the thermal runaway risk of the battery compartment based on all available characteristic data currently.
[0026] S5: Judge whether the comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient is less than a predetermined thermal runaway threshold;
[0027] Specifically, this threshold can be set based on historical data. The threshold can be a fixed value or a value that is dynamically adjusted according to the status of the battery compartment. The comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient is directly compared with the predetermined thermal runaway threshold. If the comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient is less than the predetermined thermal runaway threshold, then the thermal runaway risk of the current battery compartment is considered acceptable. If the comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient is greater than or equal to the predetermined thermal runaway threshold, then it means that there is a relatively high thermal runaway risk in the battery compartment.
[0028] S6: If the comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient is greater than or equal to the predetermined thermal runaway threshold, generate a thermal runaway warning signal;
[0029] Specifically, continuously monitor the comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient and compare it with the predetermined thermal runaway threshold. Once it is found that the comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient is greater than or equal to the predetermined thermal runaway threshold, the triggering condition is satisfied. When the triggering condition is satisfied, a thermal runaway warning signal is automatically generated. This warning signal can be an electronic alarm, an audible alarm, a light indication, or a prominent mark displayed on the monitoring interface.
[0030] S7: Activate the thermal runaway focusing control module according to the thermal runaway warning signal to perform thermal runaway operation and maintenance on the target battery compartment.
[0031] Specifically, the thermal runaway focusing control module first receives the thermal runaway warning signal and identifies the level and source of the signal. According to the severity of the warning signal, determine the urgency of the operation and maintenance and the measures to be taken. According to the pre-developed thermal runaway emergency plan, the control module will automatically or prompt the operator to manually initiate a series of emergency measures. These measures include cutting off the power supply, starting the emergency cooling system, isolating the battery compartment, etc. The control module will strengthen the real-time monitoring of the target battery compartment, including tracking key parameters such as temperature, pressure, and gas composition. Conduct real-time analysis on the collected data to evaluate the risk and development trend of thermal runaway. According to the data analysis results, the control module will automatically adjust the environmental parameters inside the battery compartment, such as increasing the ventilation volume, lowering the temperature, etc., to reduce the risk of thermal runaway.

Using these data to train a model to construct the third thermal runaway prediction unit, which can output a thermal runaway prediction coefficient based on operation characteristics. Create a fusion prediction unit that will receive the outputs from the first three prediction units. In the fusion prediction unit, a thermal runaway fusion prediction function is defined to calculate the comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient. The specific function is, ; wherein, TLCD represents the comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient, TLCA represents the first thermal runaway prediction coefficient, TLCB represents the second thermal runaway prediction coefficient, and TLCC represents the third thermal runaway prediction coefficient; input the outputs of the first, second, and third thermal runaway prediction units into the thermal runaway fusion prediction unit. Apply the thermal runaway fusion prediction function to calculate the comprehensive thermal runaway prediction coefficient.

And after each training of a predetermined number of times, calculate the mean squared loss error of temperature anomaly detection. If the mean squared loss error of temperature anomaly detection is less than or equal to the predetermined mean squared loss error threshold, it indicates that the model performance meets the requirements. Generate a battery compartment temperature anomaly detection model, which can detect the temperature anomaly of the battery compartment based on the temperature characteristic data. Use the same machine learning algorithm, use the battery compartment temperature anomaly detection record as input information. Use the temperature characteristic thermal runaway coefficient record as output information. Start training the model, and after each training of a predetermined number of times, obtain the mean squared loss error of thermal runaway prediction. If the mean squared loss error of thermal runaway prediction is less than or equal to the predetermined mean squared loss error threshold, it indicates that the model performance meets the standard.

The model has been trained to identify abnormal situations that do not conform to the normal gas feature pattern, such as sudden increases or decreases in gas concentration, or the abnormal appearance of a certain specific gas. The gas anomaly detection model of the battery compartment processes the input gas feature data and generates gas anomaly detection feature data. These feature data include information such as the detected abnormal points, the degree of abnormality, and the type of abnormality, which are crucial for subsequent thermal runaway prediction. Next, input the gas anomaly detection feature data into the gas feature thermal runaway prediction model in the second thermal runaway prediction unit. The model has been trained to predict the risk of thermal runaway in the battery compartment based on the abnormal feature data. The gas feature thermal runaway prediction model processes the input gas anomaly detection feature data and outputs the gas feature thermal runaway prediction coefficient. This coefficient represents the likelihood or risk level of thermal runaway in the battery compartment based on the current gas feature data and the detected abnormal situations.

The retrieved multi-dimensional thermal runaway characteristic data is input into the thermal runaway propagation model within the thermal runaway focusing unit. The thermal runaway propagation model is a trained mathematical model used to simulate and predict the propagation behavior of thermal runaway within the battery compartment. The multi-dimensional thermal runaway characteristic data is fitted using the thermal runaway propagation model to simulate the possible propagation paths and speeds of thermal runaway within the battery compartment. Through the fitting process, fitted thermal runaway propagation characteristic data is generated, which reflects the propagation characteristics of thermal runaway in terms of time and space.

[0077] Specifically, obtain the multi-dimensional thermal runaway characteristic data repository of the target battery compartment. This repository may contain various characteristic data related to thermal runaway, such as temperature, pressure, current, voltage, gas composition, etc. Perform time-series processing on the multi-dimensional thermal runaway characteristic data repository. Arrange the data in chronological order to generate a multi-dimensional thermal runaway characteristic record sequence. Load the extended thermal runaway characteristic data repository of the target battery compartment. This extended repository contains more thermal runaway data in more scenarios and of more types, which is used to enhance the generalization ability of the model. Also perform time-series processing on the extended thermal runaway characteristic data repository to obtain a multi-dimensional extended thermal runaway characteristic record sequence. Use the multi-dimensional extended thermal runaway characteristic record sequence to conduct supervised training on the Markov chain. The Markov chain is a stochastic process where the future state depends only on the current state, and this model is suitable for describing phenomena with time-series dependence such as thermal runaway. Through supervised training, obtain an initial thermal runaway propagation model. This model can predict the future thermal runaway state based on the current state. Use the multi-dimensional thermal runaway characteristic record sequence to perform incremental learning on the initial thermal runaway propagation model. Incremental learning allows the model to continuously learn and improve while continuously receiving new data, without the need to retrain the entire model. Through incremental learning, the model can gradually adapt to the unique thermal runaway characteristics of the target battery compartment, improving the accuracy and reliability of the prediction. After incremental learning, generate the final thermal runaway propagation model. This model combines the extended data and the specific data of the target battery compartment, and can more accurately simulate and predict the propagation process of thermal runaway.
