Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery management, and in particular to a battery balancing system and a control method based on a series-parallel reconfigurable topology. Background Art
[0002] As an energy storage device with high energy density, low self-discharge rate and low environmental pollution, lithium battery has been widely used in electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and aerospace fields. The voltage of a single lithium battery is not enough to meet engineering needs, so lithium battery cells are usually connected in series and parallel to form a battery pack. Due to the uneven battery manufacturing process, obvious differences in working environment, and different changes in internal resistance, even the cells of the same battery pack usually have inconsistencies that cannot be ignored. In order to reduce the harm of the "barrel effect" caused by the inconsistency of lithium batteries and extend the service life of the battery pack, it is necessary and effective to balance the battery pack.
[0003] Lithium battery balancing methods are divided into active balancing and passive balancing. Passive balancing dissipates the excess energy of lithium batteries in the form of heat by connecting energy-consuming elements such as resistors in parallel on both sides of the battery. Passive balancing is simple to control, low cost, and highly reliable, and is still the most widely used battery balancing method today. However, passive balancing also has problems such as low balancing efficiency, long balancing time, and energy waste. Active balancing technology can be divided into several types according to the energy transmission path: adjacent cell to cell, any cell to any cell, cell directly to cell, cell to battery pack, and battery pack to cell.
[0004] The current active balancing technology still faces technical problems such as low balancing speed and insufficient balancing efficiency. At the same time, when individual single-cell failures occur in the battery pack, the existing fixed topology balancing methods cannot effectively handle them because most of them rely on overall balancing and do not have individual processing capabilities. Therefore, a more targeted balancing solution that can identify and handle faulty single cells is needed. Reconfigurable battery topology provides a new method to solve the problem of inconsistent battery pack power balancing. It can bypass the faulty single cells by controlling the on-off of the switch on the basis of achieving battery balancing. Summary of the invention

[0081] In specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step S6 specifically includes: adopting a battery stratified balancing control method to control the balancing within the battery pack in the order of first balancing within the group and then balancing between groups, wherein:
[0082] The internal balancing of the group includes: determining the SOC value of the lithium battery cells in the group, defining the average value of the SOC value of the lithium battery in the group as SOC averge ; Set the internal balancing start threshold STD and the balancing threshold δ; determine the charging and discharging of the battery cells according to the central threshold comparison method.
[0083] In specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the battery stratified balancing control method is provided with an intra-group static balancing mode and an inter-group charge and discharge balancing mode, wherein:
[0084] In the static balance mode within the group, the start threshold STD is set to 0.1% and the balance threshold δ is 0.05%;
[0085] In the inter-group charge and discharge balance mode, the on threshold value STDM is set to 0.4% and the balance threshold value ε is set to 0.2%.
[0086] Example 1
[0087] Set the initial SOC values of the 4 battery cells in the group according to the following table, such as Figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the intra-group balancing principle of the series-parallel reconfigurable battery balancing topology provided by the present invention under hypothetical conditions.
[0088]
[0089] During the intra-group balancing process, the balancing process includes the following steps:
[0090] Step 1: Calculate the average SOC value of the batteries in the group averge and standard deviation STD;
[0091] Step 2: Set the threshold for in-group balancing to 0.1%, that is, when the standard deviation STD is greater than 0.1%, in-group balancing is enabled, otherwise in-group balancing is not performed, and the balancing threshold δ is set to 0.05%;
[0092] Step 3: Control the SOC value to be greater than SOC averge +δ battery discharge, control SOC value less than SOC averge -δ batteries are charged, and the other batteries do not participate in balancing;

The balancing current in the balancing process can be changed by changing the duty cycle of the PWM signal that controls the operation of M1 and M2.
[0095] Example 2
[0096] The initial SOC value of battery B2 is set to 10%, and the other batteries are set as in Example 1, such as Figure 3 As shown, it is a bypass schematic diagram of battery B2 failure in the series-parallel reconfigurable battery balancing topology of the present invention. Both paths shown can eliminate B2 to ensure the normal operation of the remaining batteries in the group. It should be noted that the voltage fluctuation caused by battery failure can be eliminated by the internal stability control of the DC-DC converter connected thereto.

The hierarchical control is divided into intra-group balancing and inter-group balancing. Taking into account the characteristics of the balancing topology reconstruction proposed in the present invention, the hierarchical balancing strategy is set to perform intra-group balancing first, and then perform inter-group balancing after the intra-group balancing is completed and the battery cells are connected in series into groups.
[0099] Example 4
[0100] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, it is a lithium balancing simulation model diagram of the series-parallel reconfigurable battery balancing topology structure of the present invention. The series-parallel reconfigurable battery balancing topology structure of the present invention couples four Battery models to form a battery pack model. The parameters of each component in the simulation model include: Battery model type selects lithium battery, rated voltage 3.7V, rated capacity 3.5AH, and the excitation inductance L of the flyback converter p Set to 0.001H, primary-secondary transformation ratio set to 1:1, primary-secondary internal resistance and leakage inductance are both set to 0, primary-secondary N-channel Mos field effect transistor resistance set to 0.1hms, internal diode inductance 0H, internal diode resistance 0.01hms, internal diode forward voltage 0V, buffer resistance 105hms, buffer capacitance set to inf, switching frequency 10KHZ, and the rest remain default.
[0101] Example 5
[0102] like Figure 6As shown, the static balancing result of the group in Example 1 obtained by the present invention based on the simulation model, the controlled current source input is set to 0, that is, the battery is in a static state, the group balancing start threshold δ is set to 0.1%, and the balancing threshold θ is set to 0.05%. The simulation model is run to obtain the SOC change of the battery cells in the group under the control of the balancing method proposed in the present invention;
[0103] Example 6
[0104] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the group balancing result when battery B2 fails in Example 2 obtained by the present invention based on the simulation model. Since battery failure mainly occurs during the discharge process, the simulation experiment will also simulate the topological reconstruction of the faulty battery cells in the group during discharge. The initial SOC value of battery B2 in the group is set to 10%, and the initial SOC values of other battery cells in the group remain unchanged. At the beginning of balancing, it is considered that battery B2 fails. Figure 7 The middle path bypasses it out of the battery pack, and the remaining batteries participate in balancing normally.
[0105] Example 8
[0106] like Figure 8 As shown, the inter-group discharge balancing result in Example 2 obtained by the present invention based on the simulation model is shown. After the intra-group balancing of three battery groups is completed, the inter-group balancing is started. After the balancing is completed at 455.9s and the monomers are connected in series, they continue to release energy to the outside.
[0107] In summary, according to the above technical solution, the removal of abnormal battery cells and the energy balance of other battery cells can be achieved by reasonably controlling the corresponding switches of each battery, that is, the inconsistency in the battery pack is effectively reduced and the safe operation of the battery pack is ensured.
[0108] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
