Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of thermal batteries, and in particular relates to a method for predicting the performance of a thermal storage battery taking actual load equivalence into consideration. Background Art

[0002] A thermal battery is a primary battery that uses a room-temperature solid inorganic molten salt as an electrolyte. During operation, a device activates a heat source, causing the electrolyte to melt and connect the positive and negative electrodes, generating an electrochemical reaction to output electrical energy. Because they are non-conductive when stored at room temperature, thermal batteries have the characteristics of high reliability, long storage life, and strong environmental adaptability, and are widely used in weapons and equipment. In recent years, as weapons and equipment have increased their requirements for the storage life of power sources, predicting the performance of thermal batteries after long-term storage has become a problem that needs to be solved. Therefore, it is particularly important to evaluate the performance degradation of thermal batteries during long-term storage during the design stage and formulate corresponding material design and battery packaging structure design strategies, as well as to deeply understand their degradation laws.

[0003] Thermal batteries are primarily subjected to constant environmental stresses and temperature fluctuations during storage. Common degradation modeling approaches focus solely on the overall storage state of the battery. Due to the isolation of the battery housing, these models typically do not consider environmental stress variables, only time variables. Consequently, the degradation models developed are time-series models of degradation under specific storage conditions. These models present several challenges. First, thermal battery samples are expensive, making it difficult to obtain a highly accurate and cost-effective degradation time-series model. Second, time-series models lack environmental stress variables, making it difficult to evaluate thermal battery performance under various storage conditions. Third, the modeling process ignores component degradation and the actual loads that cause degradation. Consequently, the results provide only performance evaluation capabilities and lack guidance for improving thermal battery design. Therefore, to address these storage modeling challenges, it is imperative to develop performance prediction methods for thermal batteries that consider actual load equivalence, ensuring accuracy, generalizability, and mechanistic guidance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention proposes a method for predicting the performance of thermal storage batteries that takes into account actual load equivalence.

Based on the considerations of the component coupling relationship, the equivalence of the actual load inside and outside the shell, and the consistency and dispersion of degradation, the present invention establishes a performance prediction model from the bottom up for the complete thermal battery storage performance degradation stage. It can adapt to thermal batteries with different compositions and packaging structures, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the prediction results and the ability to promote and use them among different battery models, and has good practicality.

[0076] S2. By decoupling the performance of single thermal batteries, a degradation model of each component of a single thermal battery to a single thermal battery is established: considering the structure of the single thermal battery and the participation of each component in the discharge process of the single thermal battery, the capacity short board formula and the reaction competition formula are introduced to establish the final capacity model of the single thermal battery:

[0077]

[0078] Where Z^ represents the estimated value of the single degradation amount; A represents the determination coefficient of the short-board component; They represent the predicted degradation values ​​of the positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode respectively; r1, r2, and r3 represent the first, second, and third competitive reaction parameters, respectively, reflecting the relationship between the competitive reactions of different materials; max represents the maximum value.

[0079] The performance of single thermal batteries is coupled, specifically the capacity performance of single thermal batteries is determined by the capacity short board model, and the correction of degradation curves between components is affected by the reaction competition model.

[0080] S3. Considering the equivalent results of the series-parallel structure of the single thermal battery group and the actual loads inside and outside the shell, a unit thermal battery performance model is established: the single thermal battery does not directly contact the external environmental load of the shell. At the same time, the final unit thermal battery performance is obtained by forming a battery group by connecting dozens of single thermal batteries in series and parallel.

[0081] S31. Based on the shell leakage and gas content, establish an equivalent model of the gas inside and outside the shell:

[0082]

[0083] Where n represents the amount of the leaked component; R represents the gas molar constant; T represents the temperature; q represents the shell leakage rate; P represents the local pressure; and P0 represents the pressure inside the shell.

[0084]

[0085] Where Δt represents the degradation time interval.

[0086] The equivalent model of the gas inside and outside the shell is affected by factors including but not limited to the storage environment outside the shell, the shell leakage rate, the assembly environment and the reaction rate inside the shell.

[0087] S32. Using Δn as the rate indicator and the change of each gas component as the result, the gas component change rate is calculated. Based on the change of relative humidity and oxygen concentration of the equivalent model of the gas inside and outside the shell, an equivalent kinetic model of the gas inside and outside the shell is established:

[0094] S331. Arrange and accumulate the increments of the relative humidity differential dRH and the oxygen differential dO2 at a fixed interval dt on the time axis to obtain the changes of the relative humidity RH and the oxygen concentration O2 over time RH(t) and O2(t).

[0095] S332. Substitute the RH(t) and O2(t) inside the shell, take the temperature inside and outside the shell as equal, and predict the performance of the actual storage single thermal battery.

[0096] S34. Considering the dispersion of single thermal batteries, a unit thermal battery performance coupling model is established.

[0097] S341. Taking the power capacity as the performance attribute, the unit thermal battery performance modeling is carried out considering the performance dispersion and series-parallel structure; the series-parallel structure considers the shunt effect of the resistance model.

[0098] S342. Modify the degradation model of the single thermal battery according to the equivalent results of the internal and external environments of the shell; the equivalent results of the internal and external environments of the shell take into account the isolation and leakage effects of the shell packaging on the environmental load.

[0099] S343. Consider the case where there is only one single thermal battery in the shell. There is performance dispersion among the single thermal batteries. The dispersion results of the single thermal batteries are statistically analyzed:

[0100]

[0101] Wherein, Q represents the predicted capacity value of a single thermal battery; Q0 ​​represents the initial value of the capacity of a single thermal battery; F represents the distribution of the capacity value, and η and γ represent the first distribution parameter and the second distribution parameter, respectively.

[0102] The optimization method of the unit thermal battery performance coupling model is the p-value test result. The specific calculation method of the p-value is:

[0105] S35. Calculate the electrical performance of the unit thermal battery based on the structure of the single thermal battery pack.

[0106] S351. The circuit model of the circuit structure couples the performance of each single thermal battery into the performance of the unit-level single thermal battery. The battery pack is connected in series first and then in parallel. The circuit unit thermal battery is connected in series and parallel with the internal resistance. The performance of each single thermal battery is substituted into the performance of the single thermal battery to predict the performance R of the unit thermal battery. 单元 for:

[0107] R 单元 =(R1+R2+...+R num1 ) / / (R (num1)+1 +R (num1)+2 +...+R num2 ) (9)

[0108] Among them, R s Indicates the performance of the s-th single thermal battery, s ranges from 1 to num2; num1 and num2 represent the first constant integer and the second constant integer respectively; num1 and num2 represent the first constant integer and the second constant integer respectively.

[0109] S352. Based on the discharge characteristics of the single thermal battery, determine the capacity performance of the series-connected module unit thermal battery as follows:

[0110] Q pack =max (i) (Q cell ) (10)

[0111] Among them, Q pack Indicates the capacity degradation of the series structure; Q cell Indicates the capacity degradation of a single cell in a series structure.

[0112] S353. Considering the internal resistance shunting during the calculation of the parallel capacitance of the two series modules, the final unit thermal battery performance is determined as:

[0113]

[0114] Among them, Q pack_all Z represents the predicted capacity degradation of the unit thermal battery; cell The left equation represents the capacity prediction process taking current distribution into account. The right equation indicates that the capacity of the parallel stack is determined by the capacity degradation of the module with the smallest capacity. Min represents the minimum value. In one specific embodiment, num1 is 28 and num2 is 56.

[0115] So far, Q is calculated pack_all Unit thermal battery capacity prediction results.

[0116] In a specific embodiment, using a certain type of thermal battery as an example, a thermal battery capacity prediction model is established from the bottom up by decomposing the thermal battery's functions at the material level, the monomer level, and the unit level. This model can adapt to the performance prediction requirements of thermal battery products with different compositions and packaging designs, and can evaluate the thermal battery storage performance in advance during the design phase. This method does not require testing the entire battery after the thermal battery design parameters are finalized. Instead, it achieves capacity prediction of the thermal battery system by acquiring performance data at the material level and decoupling the functions. Compared with traditional overall thermal battery degradation experiments and data regression methods, the modeling process of the present invention can obtain an explanation of the degradation mechanism of all thermal battery components to the thermal battery performance. The results provide support for thermal battery design. At the same time, the present invention introduces the difference between actual load and environmental load, and through the establishment of a gas equivalent kinetic equation, the two can be converted into each other, solving the problems of unclear loads, high dependence of modeling on time variables, and low scenario applicability in traditional methods.

[0117] In order to demonstrate the applicability of the present invention, it is applied to a thermal battery system example, where the objects and the single thermal batteries modeled by the method are connected in series and packaged to form a Figure 3 The thermal battery 4 shown in the figure has a terminal 5 provided on its end surface. The method for predicting the performance of a thermal storage battery of the present invention specifically comprises the following steps:

[0118] S1. Use the Arrhenius formula to establish a single thermal battery degradation model.

[0119] According to the degradation process model of each component of the single thermal battery obtained in S1, the capacity degradation trajectory of the negative electrode, positive electrode and separator is as follows: Figure 4 As shown by the first, second, and fourth curves from top to bottom, the degradation trajectory obtained here reflects the independent degradation effects of the three components, each of which independently consumes the environmental stress during the degradation process. Further consideration is needed to comprehensively consider the degradation effects of the three thermal battery cells and the environmental stress results of the three components competing for the same effect.

[0120] S2. By decoupling the performance of the single thermal battery, a degradation model of each component of the single thermal battery to the single thermal battery is established.

[0121] According to the single thermal battery coupling model, the fusion Figure 4 The first, second, and fourth curves from top to bottom are the capacity degradation curves of single thermal batteries. Since the three components compete to react to environmental stress during single-component degradation, the actual degradation point of the component will be slower than the degradation process of a single component. That is, the horizontal axis time corresponding to the circle in the figure is less than the 200h dotted line of the schematic prediction data, and the single-component degradation process will be slower than the degradation curve of the fastest-degrading component. The degradation trajectory of the single component is shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown in the third independent curve from top to bottom, the circles in the figure represent the measured monomer performance, which are distributed on both sides.

[0122] S3. Considering the equivalent results of the series-parallel structure of the single thermal battery group and the actual loads inside and outside the shell, a unit thermal battery performance model is established.

[0123] By combining the shell leakage dynamics equation with the shell reaction rate equation, taking relative humidity and oxygen as an example, the thermal battery environmental load evolution model of the embodiment is solved as follows: Figure 5a 、 Figure 5b As shown, due to the high relative humidity of the actual storage environment, generally between 50% and 70%, the actual load of relative humidity presents a linear upward trend, while the oxygen concentration increases with the leakage, and the storage degradation and leakage present a stable trend.

[0124] Figure 6 The figure shows the capacity degradation curve of a single thermal battery after switching to actual load. To facilitate the subsequent unit-level performance coupling, the capacity degradation results are converted to the degradation amount. Figure 7 Shown is the degradation curve of a single thermal battery.

[0125] Figure 8 The figure shows the results of the dispersion distribution model of the degradation amount of a single thermal battery. When establishing the unit battery model, this distribution model is used for sampling evaluation.

[0126] The final unit thermal battery degradation curve is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, compared with the degradation amount of single thermal batteries, the unit thermal batteries have a greater degradation amount in the same period. Compared with the actual thermal batteries stored for 10 years, the capacity value degradation result is 3-6%, which is consistent with the prediction range, and the average absolute error with the predicted value is within 3%, which proves that the storage thermal battery performance prediction method considering the actual load equivalence established by the present invention has excellent effect.

[0127] The present invention proposes a method for predicting the performance of a storage thermal battery that takes actual load equivalence into consideration. A thermal battery degradation model is established from the bottom up at the material level, which facilitates clarifying the influence of each electrode on the overall degradation of the thermal battery. The experimental data is derived from material-level samples, which greatly saves experimental costs. At the same time, the analysis of the component coupling process can adjust the design indicators in the design stage and estimate the performance of the design optimization, which has obvious advantages over modeling directly for unit cells. The environmental loads borne by the thermal battery in various storage stages are considered as model inputs, which is more in line with the actual storage conditions than the traditional time-series degradation model. The thermal battery performance can be predicted in a changing storage environment, making the performance prediction model more adaptable. A variety of environmental load equivalence methods, including the gas exchange kinetics inside and outside the shell and reaction competition, are combined to truly overcome the difficult problem of no direct contact between the test load and the sensitive components in the battery storage performance research, making the model prediction results more accurate and more capable of explaining the mechanism, and can guide the processes of thermal battery material selection, packaging structure design, battery pack structure design, etc.
