Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery equalization and battery impedance spectrum detection, and more specifically, relates to a battery active equalization and battery impedance spectrum detection system and method. Background Technology
[0002] The battery management system (BMS) is crucial to the overall performance and safety of the battery system. The main functions of existing battery management systems include monitoring battery voltage and current data, equalization management, status monitoring and safety protection.
[0003] Differences in battery manufacturing and operating environments lead to inconsistencies between individual cells within a battery system. Typically, hundreds or thousands of cells are connected in series and parallel to construct a battery system to meet the voltage and capacity requirements of the load. However, these inconsistencies can cause voltage and capacity imbalances during charging and discharging. Charging or discharging cells outside their permissible voltage range can damage them and even cause safety incidents. Therefore, battery management systems (BMS) need to have battery balancing capabilities to compensate for voltage and capacity imbalances between cells, ensuring the full utilization of the battery system's energy.
[0004] Basic balancing topologies can be broadly categorized into two types: passive balancing and active balancing. Passive balancing, also known as energy-consuming balancing, refers to dissipating excess battery energy as heat. Active balancing, a non-energy-consuming type of balancing, involves transferring energy through circuit components to reduce inconsistencies between batteries or battery modules.
[0005] Compared to typical battery management systems that collect current and voltage data, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technology obtains impedance information over a wide frequency range by measuring the battery's terminal voltage response to an excitation current. EIS contains rich information about the battery's internal material properties, interfacial phenomena, and electrochemical reactions. By detecting the real and imaginary parts of the battery impedance online, an impedance spectrum can be plotted, allowing for the tracking and analysis of the battery's state. The battery impedance spectroscopy detection process includes generating the excitation current, measuring the excitation current and response voltage, and calculating the impedance spectrum.
[0006] While impedance spectrum analysis using specialized instruments offers high accuracy, these instruments are expensive and unsuitable for large-scale online engineering applications. Existing technologies employ passive equalization circuits, power converters, or specialized signal generation circuits to generate the excitation current required for impedance spectrum measurement. For example, DC / DC converters used for charging / discharging batteries, and DC / AC inverters used for driving motor loads, can generate the excitation current, but this often results in significant power consumption or allows impedance spectrum analysis only during battery charging and discharging. Existing technologies also combine passive equalization circuits with impedance spectrum detection, but both equalization and impedance spectrum detection functions rely on discharging the battery into a resistor to dissipate energy as heat.
[0007] Existing technologies lack a solution for using a single circuit system to achieve active battery balancing and impedance spectrum detection. It is difficult to achieve active balancing and impedance spectrum detection for each battery in the battery system through low-power energy exchange. Summary of the Invention

[0065] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0066] In this invention, the terms "first," "second," etc. (if present) in the invention and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0067] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a battery active balancing and battery impedance spectrum detection system provided in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the battery active balancing and battery impedance spectrum detection system includes battery modules 1, 2, ..., n connected in series, passive devices, and a control module. The control module is connected to each battery module and passive device, with the passive devices connected in parallel with the series-connected battery modules. Each battery module includes batteries 1, 2, ..., m connected in series, and each battery is connected to an impedance spectrum measurement unit, where m and n are natural numbers greater than 1. Further, each battery module also includes a control unit, a current acquisition unit, and a passive unit. The current acquisition unit is connected in series with each battery and to the impedance spectrum measurement unit. The current acquisition unit measures the current flowing through each battery, and the impedance spectrum measurement unit measures the battery's terminal voltage and receives battery current data from the current acquisition unit. The control unit controls the switching on and off of switches in the passive unit via control signals. Specifically, the control signals here are used to achieve active balancing of the batteries within the battery module.
[0068] Specifically, the passive device includes a switch array, a first array resistor R, a first array inductor group L, a first array varistor MOV0, and a first array capacitor group C. The first array inductor group L and the first array varistor MOV0 are connected in parallel, and then connected in series with the first array resistor R and the first array capacitor group C. The series branch of R, L, and C is connected in parallel with the switch array. The first array resistor R is connected to the positive terminal of battery module 1 through switches K1 and K2. The first array capacitor group C is connected to the positive terminal of battery module 1 through switch K1. 2(n+1) It is connected to the negative terminal of battery module n. The switch array includes a first switch array bus 1 and a second switch array bus 2. Each battery module is connected to the first switch array bus 1 and the second switch array bus 2 via a switch. The first array inductor group L contains multiple parallel inductor and switch branches ( Figure 1 (Not shown in the image), the inductance value can be changed under the control of the branch switching control signal issued by the control module. The first array capacitor group C contains multiple parallel capacitors and switching branches ( Figure 1 (Not shown in the diagram) The capacitance value can be changed under the control of the branch switching control signal issued by the control module. During system operation, the varistor MOV0 can keep the voltage across the first array inductor group L within the safe rated voltage value, ensuring safe system operation.
[0069] Furthermore, the positive terminal of battery module 1 serves as the positive terminal of the series-connected battery module, and the negative terminal of battery module n serves as the negative terminal of the series-connected battery module. Let a be a variable representing each non-negative integer in the range 1 ≤ a ≤ n, indicating the a-th battery module; the positive terminal of battery module a is connected to switch K. 2a-1 Connected to the first switch array bus 1, the negative terminal of battery module a is connected to switch K.2a+1 Connected to the first switch array bus 1, the negative terminal of battery module a is connected to switch K. 2(a+1) Connected to the second switch array bus 2, except for battery module 1, the positive terminal of battery module a is connected to switch K. 2a Connected to the second switch array bus 2, each battery module is connected to each switch in this manner. Specifically, the control module controls the switches in the passive devices through control signals. Through power exchange, it enables active balancing between two battery modules, or generates the excitation current required for impedance spectrum detection. This process is repeated for n series-connected battery modules to achieve active balancing or generate excitation current sequentially. The control signals include balancing control signals, excitation control signals, and branch switching control signals. During impedance spectrum detection, the switch conduction frequency is the first switch switching frequency; during active balancing between battery modules and between batteries within a battery module, the switch conduction frequency is the second switch switching frequency.
[0070] When the battery active balancing and battery impedance spectrum detection system operates in balancing mode, the balancing process of this system is illustrated using the active balancing between the first battery module a and the second battery module b as an example. Let a be a variable that can take any non-negative integer value in the range 1 ≤ a ≤ n, and let b be a variable that can take any non-negative integer value in the range 2 ≤ b ≤ n, where b ≠ a. In other words, the first battery module a can be any battery module from battery module 1 to battery module n, and the second battery module b can be any battery module from battery module 2 to battery module n other than the first battery module a. The control module sends a balancing control signal to the passive device, controlling the switch array outside the battery module, so that the two battery modules exchange energy with the R, L, C series branches in the passive device respectively within one switching cycle, realizing energy transfer and active balancing between the battery modules.
[0071] Specifically, turn on the first group of array switches K. 2a-1 K2, K 2(a+1) Then, all other switches in the switch array are turned off, connecting the positive terminal of the first battery module a to one end of the first array resistor R, and the negative terminal of the first battery module a to one end of the first array capacitor group C. After a period of time, the terminal voltage of the first array capacitor group C becomes equal to the terminal voltage of the first battery module a; then, the second array switch K is turned on. 2b-1 K2, K 2(b+1)And all other switches in the switch array are turned off. At this time, the positive terminal of the second battery module b is connected to one end of the first array resistor R, and the negative terminal of the second battery module b is connected to one end of the first array capacitor group C. After a period of time, the terminal voltage of the first array capacitor group C is equal to the terminal voltage of the second battery module b. The equality in this invention is not a complete mathematical equivalence, but includes numerical similarity or closeness. By alternately turning on the first array switch and the second array switch, the energy of the battery module with a relatively high terminal voltage can be transferred to the battery module with a relatively low terminal voltage. The speed of energy transfer can be changed by changing the frequency of the alternating conduction of the two sets of switches. Here, the frequency of alternating conduction is called the second switch switching frequency fs. Furthermore, when the voltage difference between the first battery module a and the second battery module b is less than the first preset voltage Vs, it indicates that the first battery module a and the second battery module b have achieved balance. Here, the first preset voltage Vs is the absolute value of the voltage difference between the first battery module a and the second battery module b. The first battery module and the second battery module here refer to any two battery modules in the series-connected battery modules of this invention. Preferably, the two battery modules with the largest voltage difference are selected to begin balancing. The first set of array switches consists of: a switch connected between the positive terminal of the first battery module and the first switch array bus 1, a second array switch K2, and a switch connected between the negative terminal of the first battery module and the second switch array bus 2; the second set of array switches consists of: a switch connected between the positive terminal of the second battery module and the first switch array bus 1, a second array switch K2, and a switch connected between the negative terminal of the second battery module and the second switch array bus 2.
[0072] Furthermore, by changing the values of variables a and b, and following the aforementioned pattern, energy transfer between any two battery modules can be achieved, thereby realizing active balancing among all battery modules.
[0073] When the battery active balancing and battery impedance spectrum detection system operates in impedance spectrum detection mode, the first step is to achieve current excitation between battery modules. Specifically, taking the mutual generation of excitation current between the first battery module a and the second battery module b as an example, this invention illustrates the process of achieving current excitation between battery modules through energy exchange, enabling mutual excitation currents between the first battery module a and the second battery module b. In an embodiment of this invention, during the positive half-cycle of a switching cycle, the control module controls the conduction of the first array switch K via an excitation control signal. 2a-1 K2, K 2(a+1)All other switches in the switch array are in the off state. The positive terminal of the first battery module a is connected to one end of the first array resistor R, and the negative terminal of the first battery module a is connected to one end of the first array capacitor group C. Damped oscillations occur between the first battery module a and the R, L, C series branch, generating an excitation current. In the negative half-cycle of the same switching cycle, the control module controls the third array switch K corresponding to the second battery module b through the excitation control signal. 2b+1 K2, K 2b When the circuit is turned on, all other switches in the switch array are in the off state. The negative terminal of the second battery module b is connected to one end of the first array resistor R, and the positive terminal of the second battery module b is connected to one end of the first array capacitor group C. The second battery module b and the series branch of R, L, and C generate excitation current through damped oscillation. In one switching cycle, the first array switch K is alternately turned on. 2a-1 K2, K 2(a+1) and the third array switch K 2b+1 K2, K 2b The control module alternately generates excitation currents on the first battery module a and the second battery module b. By controlling the branch switching control signal, the control module changes the capacitance value of the first array capacitor group C and the inductance value of the first array inductor group L, thereby altering the frequency of the damped oscillation and generating excitation currents of different frequencies. This, in turn, alternately turns on the first array switch K at the first switching frequency. 2a-1 K2, K 2(a+1) and the third array switch K 2b+1 K2, K 2b The switching operation continues until all batteries in the first battery module a and the second battery module b have completed impedance spectrum measurements, at which point the alternating switching operation ends. The third set of array switches consists of: a switch connected between the negative terminal of the second battery module b and the first switch array bus 1; a second array switch K2; and a switch connected between the positive terminal of the second battery module b and the second switch array bus 2. By changing the switching frequency of the first set of array switches and the third set of array switches through the control module, the duration of the excitation current generated on the battery module within one switching cycle can be changed, thus meeting the requirements for impedance spectrum detection.
[0074] Furthermore, by changing the values of variables a and b, and following the aforementioned pattern, energy exchange between any two battery modules can be achieved, thereby generating the excitation current required for battery impedance spectrum measurement on each battery module in sequence.
[0075] Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a battery module in a battery active balancing and battery impedance spectrum detection system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The internal structures of battery modules 1 through n are identical; battery module 1 is used as an example for explanation. As shown in the figure, batteries 1, ..., m are connected in series within battery module 1, where m is a non-negative integer greater than 1. The positive terminal of battery 1 is connected in series with a current acquisition unit to serve as the positive terminal of battery module 1, and the negative terminal of battery m serves as the negative terminal of battery module 1. The control unit controls the opening and closing of the switch in switch unit 1 through a first control signal. Let g be a variable that can take any non-negative integer value within the range 1 ≤ g ≤ m, where g represents the g-th battery in battery module 1. The positive terminal of battery g is connected to switch Q. 2g-1 Connected to the first switching unit bus 1, the negative terminal of battery g is connected to switch Q. 2g+1 Connected to the first switching unit bus 1, the negative terminal of battery g is connected to switch Q. 2(g+1) Connected to the second switch unit bus 2, except for battery 1, the positive terminal of battery g is connected to switch Q. 2g Connected to the second switch unit bus 2, each battery and each switch are connected in this manner. The passive unit 1 also includes a first unit resistor R1 and a first unit capacitor C1, wherein the first unit resistor R1 and the first unit capacitor C1 are connected in series.

[0076] In one embodiment, the method for achieving active balancing among the individual cells within a battery module is similar to the method for achieving active balancing between battery modules. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the process of balancing between batteries in this invention is illustrated using the method of balancing between the first battery g and the second battery h within battery module 1 as an example. The method of balancing between batteries in other battery modules is the same, and will not be described in detail to avoid redundancy. Figure 2 As shown, in battery module 1, the first battery g and the second battery h are selected. Preferably, the two batteries with the largest voltage difference are selected to begin balancing, but the balancing concept of this invention is not limited to this. Specifically, the first group of unit switches Q is turned on. 2g-1 Q2, Q 2(g+1) When the other switches in switch unit 1 are turned off, the positive terminal of the first battery g is connected to one end of the first unit resistor R1, and the negative terminal of the first battery g is connected to one end of the first unit capacitor C1. After a period of time, the terminal voltage of the first unit capacitor C1 becomes equal to the terminal voltage of the first battery g. This equality is not a perfect mathematical equality, but includes cases where the values are close or similar. Further, the second set of unit switches Q is turned on. 2h-1 Q2, Q 2(h+1)When the other switches in switch unit 1 are turned off, the positive terminal of the second battery h is connected to one end of the resistor R1 in the first unit, and the negative terminal of the second battery h is connected to one end of the capacitor C1 in the first unit. After a period of time, the voltage across the capacitor C1 in the first unit becomes equal to the voltage across the second battery h. This equality is not a perfect mathematical equality; it includes cases where the values are close or similar. This is achieved by alternately turning on the first set of unit switches Q. 2g-1 Q2, Q 2(g+1) Second group unit switch Q 2h-1 Q2, Q 2(h+1) This process transfers energy from the first battery (g) with a higher terminal voltage to the second battery (h) with a lower terminal voltage, thus achieving active balancing between the two batteries. The balancing mechanism among other batteries in the battery module is similar. The frequency of alternating conduction is called the second switch switching frequency fs. Specifically, when the voltage difference between the first battery (g) and the second battery (h) is less than the second preset voltage Vr, it indicates that balancing between them is complete. Here, the second preset voltage Vr is the absolute value of the voltage difference between the first battery (g) and the second battery (h). The first set of unit switches consists of: a switch connected between the positive terminal of the first battery (g) and the first switch unit bus 1, a second unit switch Q2, and a switch connected between the negative terminal of the first battery (g) and the second switch unit bus 2. The second set of unit switches follows the same connection pattern.
[0077] In one embodiment, to better obtain the battery's impedance spectrum information, the battery detection requirements in online battery status monitoring include safety warnings, state of charge estimation, and health status estimation. Based on actual engineering conditions and requirements, the selected impedance characteristic frequency points are determined according to the required battery status detection quantities. Specifically, the selected characteristic frequency points can only be the damped oscillation frequencies that can be generated by changing the inductance value of the first array inductor group L and the capacitance value of the first array capacitor group C. In application, the possible value points of the first array inductor group L and the first array capacitor group C can be pre-designed to make the possible impedance characteristic frequency points as rich as possible and the impedance spectrum characteristic frequency points most valuable for battery status detection. For example, estimating the battery's internal temperature is an effective method for battery operation safety warnings. Therefore, for battery internal temperature estimation, multiple characteristic frequency points can be selected for impedance detection using a logarithmic scale equidistant point selection method within the 1000Hz-1Hz frequency range, which is sensitive to changes in battery internal temperature. For example, p characteristic frequency points needing impedance measurement can be selected, with p being 9. Taking the detection of the impedance spectrum of each battery in battery module 1 as an example, after generating an excitation current at the j-th characteristic frequency (variable j takes the value of each natural number in the range 1≤j≤p) on battery module 1, the control module sends an impedance spectrum detection command to the control unit in battery module 1. Figure 1(Not shown in the diagram), the control unit sends control commands to the current acquisition unit and each impedance spectrum measurement unit. The current flowing through each battery in battery module 1 is measured by the current acquisition unit. The current acquisition unit collects the current flowing through each battery in real time and sends the current data to the corresponding impedance spectrum measurement unit. The current data includes the excitation current data used for impedance spectrum measurement. Each battery's two ends are connected to the voltage measurement port of the corresponding impedance spectrum measurement unit. The impedance spectrum measurement unit measures the terminal voltage of the corresponding battery in real time. The terminal voltage data includes the response voltage data generated by the excitation current on the battery. Based on the voltage measurement data and the current measurement data, the impedance spectrum measurement unit calculates the real and imaginary parts of the impedance of the corresponding battery at the j-th characteristic frequency point.
[0078] In an embodiment of the present invention, the impedance spectrum measurement units within the battery module form a ring topology communication with the control unit via a daisy-chain communication method. Each impedance spectrum measurement unit receives control commands from the control unit and transmits the calculated real and imaginary impedance values of each battery at the j-th characteristic frequency point to the control unit. Specifically, according to the impedance spectrum detection requirements, the value of variable j is changed, i.e., the characteristic frequency point is changed. According to the aforementioned control method, the control module generates excitation currents of different frequencies on the battery module 1 by controlling passive devices. The impedance spectrum measurement units and the control unit measure and calculate the real and imaginary impedance values of each battery at different characteristic frequency points through their structure and operating mode, and transmit them to the control unit.
[0079] According to the impedance spectrum detection requirements and the aforementioned control method, the control module generates excitation currents of different frequencies on each battery module in sequence by controlling passive devices. The impedance spectrum measurement unit measures and calculates the real and imaginary impedance values of each battery in each battery module at different characteristic frequencies and transmits them to the corresponding control unit.
[0080] Therefore, after receiving the impedance real and imaginary parts of each battery in the battery module at multiple frequencies, the control unit in each battery module calculates and organizes the impedance spectrum data of each battery in the corresponding battery module and transmits it to the control module. The control module then obtains the impedance spectrum information of each battery in each battery module.
[0081] Specifically, the control unit in the battery module controls the switching unit by sending a first control signal to the passive unit to achieve active balancing among the batteries in the battery module; the control module sends a balancing control signal to the passive device to achieve active balancing among the battery modules, or sends an excitation control signal and a branch switching control signal to generate excitation currents of different frequencies in each battery module in sequence, and performs impedance spectrum detection.
