Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power batteries, and specifically provides a monitoring method, equipment, electric vehicle and medium for a power battery. Background Art

[0002] When a cell in a power battery fails, it will be significantly different from other cells in the power battery. Therefore, based on the difference in consistency of cells in the power battery, abnormal diagnosis and prediction can be performed. For example, when a cell in a power battery has a gradual internal short circuit, due to the existence of self-discharge current, the voltage of the cell will be lower than the voltage of other cells in the power battery, and the voltage difference will gradually increase with the degree of internal short circuit. When the cell has poor welding and other conditions, its internal resistance may increase abnormally and be outliers compared to the rest of the cells. Further development may cause thermal runaway risk due to abnormal heat generation.

[0003] Normally, the rate of change of the cell's voltage with capacity (i.e., the voltage-capacity differential dV / dQ) is a commonly used analysis method for the battery's charge and discharge process, but it is usually analyzed for changes in the peak position and peak area of ​​the dV / dQ curve over time, which corresponds to the voltage platform, i.e., the change in the phase change point. For power batteries, since the discharge current is unstable, dV / dQ can only be calculated during the charging process. To accurately locate the dV / dQ curve peak, the charging current must be small, otherwise the feature is difficult to extract. Therefore, there are limitations to the use of abnormal diagnosis of power batteries based on the peak position and peak area of ​​the dV / dQ curve. Summary of the invention

[0017] If the first difference is greater than a first threshold value, and a change in the first difference is within a preset range, it is determined that the standard deviation of the discrete battery module in the entire life cycle does not increase with time.

[0041] Some embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] In the description of the present invention, "module" and "processor" may include hardware, software or a combination of the two. A module may include hardware circuits, various suitable sensors, communication ports, and memories, and may also include software parts, such as program codes, or a combination of software and hardware. The processor may be a central processing unit, a microprocessor, an image processor, a digital signal processor, or any other suitable processor. The processor has data and / or signal processing functions. The processor may be implemented in software, hardware, or a combination of the two. Non-temporary computer-readable storage media include any suitable medium that can store program codes, such as a magnetic disk, a hard disk, an optical disk, a flash memory, a read-only memory, a random access memory, and the like. The term "A and / or B" means all possible combinations of A and B, such as only A, only B, or A and B. The term "at least one A or B" or "at least one of A and B" has a similar meaning to "A and / or B", and may include only A, only B, or A and B. The singular terms "one" and "the" may also include plural forms.

[0043] For power batteries, most fault diagnoses based on cell inconsistency are simple calculations of voltage, current, and temperature, such as calculating the voltage difference between the cell voltage and the average voltage, and calculating the internal resistance using the pulse point voltage and current. This judgment method is only applicable to situations where the degree of cell failure is already serious. In the early stages of a failure, the absolute values ​​of the voltage and current are not significantly outliers, and these features may not be able to effectively identify them. At this time, it is necessary to use higher-order calculations of external characteristic parameters and trend analysis over a longer time dimension to make early judgments on cell inconsistency anomalies.

[0044] In the related technology, the battery charging and discharging process can be analyzed by the rate of change of the cell's voltage with capacity (i.e., the voltage-capacity differential value dV / dQ) to obtain an early judgment of abnormal cell inconsistency. Specifically, the changes in the peak position and peak area of ​​the dV / dQ curve over time can be analyzed, which corresponds to the voltage platform, that is, the change in the phase change point. For power batteries, since the discharge current is unstable, dV / dQ can only be calculated during the charging process. To accurately locate the peak of the dV / dQ curve, the charging current must be small (i.e., under slow charging conditions), otherwise the feature is difficult to extract.

[0045] However, through the user portrait of power batteries, it can be found that in real life, there are few scenarios for slow charging of power batteries, which is mainly affected by the following factors: first, fast charging is very common and convenient now; second, many slow charging is carried out in underground garages, where the signal is relatively poor and the return signal is affected. In other words, there are limitations in the use of abnormal diagnosis of power batteries based on the peak position and peak area of ​​the dV / dQ curve.

[0046] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0047] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the main steps of a method for monitoring a power battery according to an embodiment of the present invention. The power battery may include a plurality of battery modules, and the battery module includes a plurality of battery cells. Figure 1 As shown, the method for monitoring a power battery in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps 101 to 104.

[0048] Step 101: If the power battery is charged to the end and the SOC value of the power battery is greater than a preset SOC value, the voltage change rate of each battery cell with the capacity during the charging process is obtained;

[0049] In a specific implementation process, during the charging process of the power battery, in the later stage of charging, when the SOC value reaches a certain threshold, it indicates that the power battery has entered the end of charging. The threshold of the end of charging in this embodiment can be 80%. When the power battery is charged to the end, if the SOC value of the power battery is greater than the preset SOC value, such as the preset SOC value can be 90%, the voltage change rate of each battery cell with capacity during the charging process can be obtained. Among them, the voltage change rate of the battery cell with capacity is the ratio between the voltage change of the battery cell and the corresponding capacity change under specific charging or discharging conditions. Usually, dV / dQ can be calculated by measuring the change of the voltage and current of the battery or battery cell over time. Specifically, the voltage change rate of the battery cell with capacity can be calculated as follows:

[0050] (1) Obtain the voltage, current and charging time of each battery cell during the charging process;

[0051] (2) Determine the rate of change of the voltage with respect to the capacity based on the voltage, the current and the charging time.

[0052] Specifically, the ratio of voltage to current can be calculated at each time point to obtain dV / dI. dV / dI is filtered to eliminate noise and fluctuations. A time point is selected as a reference point, and the dV / dI values ​​at all time points are compared with the values ​​at the reference point to calculate the relative change, i.e. d(ΔV / ΔI). Integrate d(ΔV / ΔI) over the charging time to obtain the value of dV / dQ.

[0053] Step 102, determining the standard deviation of each battery module according to the rate of change of the voltage of each battery cell in each battery module with the capacity;

[0054] In a specific implementation process, step 102 may be implemented as follows:

[0055] (11) The voltage change rate with capacity of each battery cell is averaged according to SOC to obtain the average voltage change rate with capacity of each battery cell;

[0056] In a specific implementation process, multiple voltage-to-capacity change rates of each battery cell at the same SOC value can be averaged to obtain the average voltage-to-capacity change rate of each battery cell. For example, if the SOC value is 89%, which corresponds to 5 frames of voltage-to-capacity change rates, the average value of these 5 frames of voltage-to-capacity change rates can be taken.

[0057] (12) Determine the standard deviation of each battery module based on the rate of change of the average voltage of each battery cell in each battery module with respect to capacity.

[0058] In a specific implementation process, for the cells in each series-connected battery module of a single power battery, due to their close positions and the same current changes, their consistency is generally high. If the dV / dQ curve of one of the cells is significantly outliers compared with other cells in the battery module, it can be considered that there is a risk of failure. In order to quantify the increase in the dispersion of the dV / dQ curve in the battery module and formulate an abnormal diagnosis strategy, the standard deviation of the battery module can be used as a characteristic value for judgment. In this way, whether the power battery is fast charged (high current charging) or slow charged (low current charging), the required characteristic values ​​can be obtained to facilitate subsequent detection of power battery abnormalities.

[0059] Specifically, after obtaining the average voltage change rate of each battery cell in each battery module with capacity, the standard deviation of each battery cell can be calculated according to the average voltage change rate of each battery cell in each battery module with capacity, so as to determine the standard deviation of each battery module. The process of calculating the standard deviation of the battery module can refer to the existing related technology and will not be repeated here.

[0060] Step 103: Detect whether there is a discrete battery module within a preset SOC range based on the standard deviation of each of the battery modules;

[0061] In a specific implementation process, the threshold of the charging end can be used as the starting value, and the preset SOC value can be used as the ending value to obtain the preset SOC range. For example, the threshold of the charging end is 80%, the preset SOC value can be 90%, and the preset SOC range can be 80%-90%. It should be noted that when setting the SOC range, the threshold of the charging end is the maximum value of the starting value, and the preset SOC value is the minimum value of the ending value, that is, the minimum range of the preset SOC range can be 80%-90%, or a larger SOC range can be set according to actual needs, such as 75%-95%.

[0062] In a specific implementation process, whether there is a discrete battery module can be detected within the preset SOC range based on the standard deviation of each of the battery modules.

[0063] Specifically, based on the standard deviation of each battery module and the preset SOC range, a standard deviation-SOC relationship of a battery module, such as a two-dimensional table, can be obtained, and discrete battery modules can be detected based on the two-dimensional table. Specifically, the mean standard deviation of all battery modules can be obtained according to the standard deviation of each battery module in the two-dimensional table; the second difference between the standard deviation of each battery module and the mean standard deviation of all battery modules is determined; if the second difference is greater than a second preset threshold, the battery module is determined to be a discrete battery module.

[0064] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the standard deviation-SOC curve of multiple battery modules. Figure 2 Take six battery modules as an example, namely battery module 1 to battery module 6. Figure 2 As shown, for the fifth battery module 5, it obviously deviates from other battery modules. The final analysis result shows that the second difference between the standard deviation of the fifth battery module 5 and the mean standard deviation of all battery modules is greater than the second threshold value. Therefore, Figure 2 The fifth battery module 5 is an outlier battery module.

[0065] Step 104: If the existence of the discrete battery module is detected, the standard deviation of the discrete battery module at different time points in the entire life cycle is obtained within the preset SOC range.

[0066] In a specific implementation process, if the existence of the discrete battery module is detected, it can be determined that the discrete battery module is abnormal. In order to further determine the abnormality type of the discrete battery module, the standard deviation of the discrete battery module at different time points in the entire life cycle can be obtained.

[0067] In a specific implementation process, if it is detected that the discrete battery module does not exist, it can be determined that there is no abnormality in the power battery.

[0068] Step 105 : Determine the abnormal type of the discrete battery module according to the standard deviation of the discrete battery module at different time points in the entire life cycle.

[0069] In a specific implementation process, the first difference between the standard deviations of the discrete battery module at two adjacent time points in the full life cycle can be obtained in sequence. In the preset time proportion of the full life cycle, if the first difference is greater than the first threshold, and the first difference gradually increases, it is determined that the standard deviation of the discrete battery module in the full life cycle increases with time; if the first difference is greater than the first threshold, and the change value of the first difference is within the preset range, it is determined that the standard deviation of the discrete battery module in the full life cycle does not increase with time. Among them, the starting time point of the preset time proportion can be the time point when the first difference is greater than the first threshold for the first time, and the ending time point of the preset time proportion can be the current time point.

[0070] In a specific implementation process, if the standard deviation of the discrete battery module at different time points in the entire life cycle shows that it increases with time, the abnormality type of the discrete battery module is determined to be a single-cell abnormality; if the standard deviation of the discrete battery module at different time points in the entire life cycle shows that it does not increase with time, the abnormality type of the discrete battery module is determined to be poor initial consistency of the battery cells.

[0071] The monitoring method of the power battery of this embodiment, if the power battery is charged to the end, and the SOC value of the power battery is greater than the preset SOC value, obtain the rate of change of the voltage of each battery cell with the capacity during the charging process; determine the standard deviation of each battery module according to the rate of change of the voltage of each battery cell with the capacity in each battery module; within the preset SOC range, based on the standard deviation of each battery module, if a discrete battery module is detected, obtain the standard deviation of the discrete battery module at different time points in the whole life cycle within the preset SOC range; determine the abnormal type of the discrete battery module according to the standard deviation of the discrete battery module at different time points in the whole life cycle. It is realized that at the high end of the SOC, the standard deviation of the module is used to detect the abnormality of the power battery, so that no matter whether the power battery is charged by fast charging or slow charging, the consistency of the power battery can be detected, thereby making the use scenarios more abundant.

[0072] See attached Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the main steps of a method for monitoring a power battery according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the method for monitoring a power battery in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps 301 to 313.

[0073] Step 301: After charging starts, monitor the change of SOC during the charging process;

[0074] Step 302, detect whether the SOC is greater than a preset SOC value, if so, execute step 302, if not, return to step 301;

[0075] Step 303: extracting the voltage, current and SOC of all single cells during the entire charging process;

[0076] Step 304, performing equal SOC filtering on the voltage of the single cell, and calculating the dV / dQ curve of the single cell by ampere-hour integration;

[0077] Step 305, averaging the dV / dQ curves of the single cells according to the SOC to obtain a dV / dQ mean value curve of the single cells;

[0078] Step 306, calculating the standard deviation between each battery cell in each battery module at each SOC point;

[0079] Step 307, drawing a module standard deviation-SOC curve of 80%-end-SOC of different battery modules during the last charge in the power battery;

[0080] Step 308: Is there any battery module with a high module standard deviation-SOC curve? If yes, go to step 309; if no, go to step 313;

[0081] Step 309, drawing a curve of 80%-end-SOC of the battery module over the entire life cycle;

[0082] Step 310: Whether the 80%-end-SOC curve of the battery module has an increasing trend over time during the entire life cycle; if so, execute step 311; if not, execute step 312;

[0083] Step 311, determining that the abnormality type of the battery module is a single-cell abnormality;

[0084] Step 312: Determine that the abnormality type of the battery module is poor initial consistency of the battery cells;

[0085] Step 313: There is no abnormality in the power battery.

[0086] The technical solution of the present invention is described below with specific examples:

[0087] a. Assume that there are 192 cells in power battery A, 16 modules connected in series, and 12 cells in each module;

[0088] b. The last charge of power battery A ended when it reached 93% SOC. The voltage, current, and charging time of 192 cells were extracted and filtered to obtain dV / dQ_1 to dV / dQ_192;

[0089] c. Aggregate and average dV / dQ_1 to dV / dQ_192 according to SOC to obtain dV / dQ_avg_1 to dV / dQ_avg_192;

[0090] d. Take the dV / dQ_avg of each SOC point of the 12 cells in the same series-connected battery module and calculate the standard deviation module_std of the battery module;

[0091] e. In the 80%-93% SOC range, the module_std-SOC curve of the 16 battery modules connected in series of power battery A was drawn, and it was found that the curve of battery module_5 was abnormally high;

[0092] f. Extract the charging process that meets the conditions in the full life cycle charging SOC interval of the battery module module_5 of the power battery A, and draw the module_std_5-SOC curve at different time points in the full life cycle of the battery module module_5;

[0093] g. It is found that the module_std_5-SOC curve of the battery module module_5 has a gradual growth trend in the whole life cycle, that is, the dispersion between the cells in the battery module module_5 gradually increases and the consistency becomes worse;

[0094] Specifically, Figure 4 It is the module_std_5-SOC curve at different time points in the whole life cycle of battery module module_5. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The module_std_5-SOC curve at different time points (20221125, 20201206, 20210705, 20210917, 20220221, 20220223) in the entire life cycle of battery module module_5 increases as time goes by, indicating that the dispersion between battery cells in battery module module_5 gradually increases, the consistency deteriorates, and there is a risk of abnormal single cell in battery module module_5.

[0095] h. Determine that battery module_5 of power battery A has a single-cell abnormality risk.

[0098] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a monitoring device for a power battery.
