Description

Technical Field

[0002] A secondary battery is a battery that can be repeatedly charged and discharged. With the development of the information communication and display industries, secondary batteries are widely used as a power source for portable electronic communication devices such as cameras, mobile phones, tablet computers (personal computers, PCs), and notebook computers. In addition, in recent years, in order to use secondary batteries as a power source for environmentally friendly vehicles such as electric vehicles, battery packs including multiple battery modules are being developed.

[0003] The secondary battery includes a battery management system (BMS), which can measure and monitor various information such as current, voltage, temperature, battery state of charge (SOC), discharge state, health state (SOH), and / or remaining capacity through various sensors.

[0004] On the other hand, the battery management system can sense the abnormality of the secondary battery. For example, the battery management system can estimate the impedance of the secondary battery based on the equivalent circuit model (ECM), and use the estimation result to sense the abnormality of the secondary battery. The method of estimating the impedance of the secondary battery based on the equivalent circuit model (ECM) is to use the voltage response when the current changes. But the problem is that during the rest period and the constant current operation interval of the secondary battery, since the current does not change, it is difficult to accurately estimate the impedance based on the equivalent circuit model (ECM) during the rest period and the constant current operation interval. Therefore, the method of sensing the abnormality of the secondary battery based on ECM has the problem of low efficiency in terms of practicality.

In addition, unless otherwise specifically defined, the terms defined in commonly used dictionaries should not be ideally interpreted or over-interpreted.

[0044] Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a battery management system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 , the battery management system 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure can monitor and manage the secondary battery 200. According to one embodiment, the battery management system 100 can sense whether there is an abnormality in the secondary battery 200 and issue an abnormality occurrence alarm.

[0046] According to one embodiment, the secondary battery 200 may be charged. The secondary battery 200 may be a battery module including a plurality of battery cells or a battery pack including a plurality of battery modules. The secondary battery 200 may be included in a device driven by power of the secondary battery 200 (e.g., an energy storage system (ESS), an electric vehicle, etc.).

[0047] According to one embodiment, the battery management system 100 may include a memory 110 , a processor 120 , an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement module 130 , an equivalent circuit model (ECM) estimation module 140 , and an alarm module 150 .

[0048] The EIS measurement module 130 may apply a variable frequency (e.g., a sine wave) in a specified range (e.g., 1 Hz to 1 KHz) to the secondary battery 200 (e.g., each battery cell or battery module constituting the secondary battery 200) at a specified magnitude (e.g., 10 mV), receive an output signal of the secondary battery, and analyze the received output signal to measure impedance change. The impedance change of the secondary battery 200 according to the measurement result of the EIS measurement module 130 may be represented by a Nyquist plot of a rectangular coordinate system or a polar coordinate system.

[0049] The EIS measurement module 130 may measure the EIS of the secondary battery 200 (e.g., measure the EIS of each component) during operation of the device including the secondary battery 200. The EIS measurement module 130 may measure the EIS of the secondary battery 200 (e.g., measure the EIS of each component) during the entire operation interval (e.g., constant current operation interval, composite current operation interval, rest period) (e.g., Figures 2 to 4 Embodiment) or a partial operation interval (e.g., a constant current operation interval, a rest period) (e.g., Figure 5 Embodiment) performs EIS measurement.

[0050] The ECM estimation module 140 can estimate the impedance of the secondary battery 200 based on the ECM, and determine whether the secondary battery has an abnormality based on the estimation result. According to one embodiment, the ECM estimation module 140 can operate in other operating intervals (for example, except the constant current operating interval and the composite current operating interval during the rest period) in the entire operating interval. On the other hand, when only the EIS measurement result is used to determine whether the secondary battery 200 has an abnormality (for example, Figures 2 to 4 ), the ECM estimation module 140 may be omitted.

[0051] The processor 120 can control the operation of the battery management system 100. For example, the processor 120 can receive the EIS measurement result from the EIS measurement module 130, and determine whether the secondary battery 200 is abnormal based on the received EIS measurement result. When the determination result is that the secondary battery 200 is abnormal, the processor 120 can control the alarm module 150 to provide an alarm to prompt that the secondary battery 200 is abnormal. Figures 2 to 4 The specific operation of the processor 120 is described in detail.

[0052] In addition, the processor 120 can determine whether the secondary battery 200 has an abnormality by correlating the measurement results of the EIS measurement module 130 and the measurement results of the ECM estimation module 140. When the determination result is that the secondary battery 200 has an abnormality, the processor 120 can control the alarm module 150 to provide an alarm to indicate that the secondary battery 200 has an abnormality. Figure 5 The specific operation of the processor 120 is described in detail.

[0053] The memory 110 may store a program for controlling the operation of the battery management system 100. In addition, the memory 110 may store information required for controlling the operation of the battery management system 100. According to one embodiment, the memory 110 may store abnormality diagnosis software 111. The abnormality diagnosis software 111 may determine whether the secondary battery 200 has an abnormality based on the EIS measurement result. For example, the abnormality diagnosis software 111 may include a routine for extracting a real intercept of an impedance value of the secondary battery 200 (e.g., each component (e.g., a cell or a battery module) of the secondary battery 200) based on the EIS measurement result, a routine for determining whether an abnormality has occurred based on the extracted real intercept, and a routine for issuing an abnormality occurrence alarm. In addition, the abnormality diagnosis software 111 may include a routine for determining whether the secondary battery 200 has an abnormality by associating the EIS measurement result with the ECM estimation result when the battery management system 100 includes the ECM estimation module 140.

[0054] The alarm module 150 can issue an alarm to indicate that the secondary battery 200 (e.g., at least one of the components (e.g., battery cells or battery modules) of the secondary battery 200) is abnormal. The alarm module 150 can issue at least one of a visual alarm (e.g., light emitting diode (LED) light, icon display, pop-up window display, etc.), an auditory alarm (e.g., effect sound output), and a tactile alarm (e.g., vibration occurs). The alarm module 150 may include at least one of a light emitting diode, a display, a speaker, and a vibration motor.

[0055] Figure 2 is a flowchart for illustrating a control method of a battery management system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3a is a diagram for explaining a method of extracting a real intercept according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3b is a diagram for explaining a method of extracting a real intercept according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4 is a graph showing EIS measurement results of a plurality of cells included in a secondary battery according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0056] Reference Figures 2 to 4According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a control method of a battery management system (hereinafter referred to as the control method) may include a step S210 of measuring the EIS of a secondary battery. For example, the processor 120 of the battery management system 100 may measure the EIS of each component of the secondary battery 200 using the EIS measurement module 130. The EIS measurement module 130 may apply a variable frequency in a specified range (e.g., 1 Hz to 1 KHz) as an input signal to each component of the secondary battery 200 with a specified magnitude (e.g., 10 mV), and measure the output signal of each component. Here, the component may be a battery cell or a battery module. For example, if the secondary battery 200 is a battery module, the component is a battery cell, and if the secondary battery 200 is a battery pack, the component is a battery module.

[0057] According to one embodiment, the step of measuring the EIS in step S210 may be performed during operation of a device (eg, an energy storage system (ESS), an electric vehicle, etc.) including the secondary battery 200 .

[0058] The control method may include a step S220 of calculating a real intercept of an impedance value of a secondary battery (e.g., each component of the secondary battery) based on an EIS measurement result. The real intercept is a value related to an electrolyte resistance characteristic in the EIS measurement result. The processor 120 may represent the impedance value of each component in a Nyquist diagram of a rectangular coordinate system or a polar coordinate system, and calculate the real intercept of each component using the Nyquist diagram of the rectangular coordinate system or the polar coordinate system. For example, if the impedance value is represented in a Nyquist diagram of a rectangular coordinate system, the processor 120 may be as follows: Figure 3a As shown, a straight line equation connecting the first point 301 having the positive minimum value and the second point 302 having the negative maximum value in the imaginary part of the impedance value is generated, and the real intercept 303 is calculated using the generated straight line equation. Here, the straight line equation Z can be generated as shown in the following formula 1, and the real intercept 303 can be calculated by the following formula 2.

[0059] Equation of a straight line Z= <Formula 1>

[0060] Real intercept R= <Formula 2>

[0061] As another example, if the impedance values ​​are represented by a Nyquist plot in a polar coordinate system, the processor 120 may be as follows: Figure 3bAs shown, a straight line equation Z connecting the third point 311 and the fourth point 312 is generated. The generated straight line equation Z is as follows <Formula 3>, and the real intercept 313 can be calculated by Formula 4.

[0062] Equation of a straight line Z= <Formula 3>

[0063] Real intercept R= <Formula 4>

[0064] According to some embodiments, the processor may calculate the real intercept ( 303 or 313 ) using the coordinate value of the first point ( 301 or 311 ), the coordinate value of the second point ( 302 or 312 ), and a specified formula (eg, Formula 2 or Formula 4).

[0065] The control method may include a step S230 of judging whether the secondary battery has an abnormality based on the extracted real intercept. For example, the processor may calculate an index value (or representative value) representing the distribution characteristics of the extracted real intercept, and judge whether the secondary battery has an abnormality based on the calculated index value. The index value may be the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value in the real intercept, the standard deviation of the real intercept, or the Z-score of the real intercept.

[0066] Specifically, the processor may calculate the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value, and when the calculated difference is greater than (or greater than or equal to) a specified first reference value, it may be determined that the secondary battery (e.g., at least one of the components) is abnormal, and when the difference is less than or equal to (or less than) the first reference value, it may be determined that there is no abnormality. Alternatively, the processor 120 may calculate the standard deviation of the real intercept, and when the calculated standard deviation is greater than (or greater than or equal to) a specified second reference value, it may be determined that the secondary battery (e.g., at least one of the components) is abnormal, and when the standard deviation is less than or equal to (or less than) the second reference value, it may be determined that there is no abnormality. Alternatively, the processor 120 may calculate the Z score of the real intercept, and when the calculated Z score is greater than (or greater than or equal to) a specified third reference value, it may be determined that the secondary battery (e.g., at least one of the components) is abnormal, and when the Z score is less than or equal to (or less than) the third reference value, it may be determined that there is no abnormality. Here, the calculation method of the standard deviation and Z score of the real intercept is known to those skilled in the art, so detailed description will be omitted.

[0067] In other words, the processor 120 can determine whether the secondary battery 200 has an abnormality based on whether the real intercepts of the impedance values ​​of multiple components (e.g., battery cells or battery modules) included in the secondary battery 200 are distributed within a certain range (e.g., whether the real intercepts have similar values). Figure 4As shown, when the real intercepts of the first to ninth cells (cell#1 to cell#9) are distributed within a certain range, that is, have similar values, but the real intercept of the tenth cell (cell#10) deviates from the distribution alone, the processor 120 can determine that there is an abnormality in the secondary battery 200.

[0068] When the judgment result of step S230 is that there is an abnormality, the control method may enter step S240 of issuing an alarm. For example, the processor 120 may control the alarm module 150 to issue an alarm to indicate that there is an abnormality in at least one of the components (e.g., battery cells or battery modules) of the secondary battery 200. The alarm may include at least one of a visual alarm (e.g., LED lighting, icon display, pop-up window display, etc.), an auditory alarm (e.g., effect sound output), and a tactile alarm (e.g., vibration occurs).

[0069] On the contrary, when the determination result of step S230 is that there is no abnormality, the control method may end. Thereafter, the control method may periodically repeat the above steps S210 to S240.

[0070] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the abnormality of the secondary battery can be accurately sensed using the EIS measurement result. In addition, one embodiment of the present disclosure can accurately sense the abnormality of the secondary battery in the entire operating range of the secondary battery. That is, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the accuracy and / or efficiency of sensing the abnormality of the secondary battery can be improved.

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to determine whether a secondary battery has an abnormality based on a real intercept (corresponding to the electrolyte resistance characteristic in the EIS measurement result) related to multiple components constituting the secondary battery. The present disclosure can determine whether an abnormality exists by reflecting the difference in states (e.g., temperature, degree of deterioration, etc.) between multiple components included in the secondary battery 200. Therefore, the present disclosure can effectively determine whether the secondary battery 200 has an abnormality.

[0072] Figure 5 is a flowchart for illustrating a control method of a battery management system according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0073] Reference Figure 5 According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, a control method of a battery management system includes a step S505 of confirming whether it is a designated operation interval. The designated operation interval may include an interval in which it is difficult to estimate impedance based on an equivalent circuit model (ECM) in the entire operation interval of a secondary battery included in an electric vehicle and an energy storage system, etc. For example, the designated operation interval may include a rest period and a constant current operation interval in the operation interval of the secondary battery.

[0074] When the confirmation result of step S505 is the specified operation range, the control method may enter step S510. Thereafter, the control method may execute steps S520, S530, and S540. Here, steps S510 to S540 are similar to Figure 2 Steps S210 to S240 are similar, so detailed description will be omitted.

[0075] On the contrary, when the confirmation result of step S505 is not the specified operating range, the control method may enter step S525 of estimating the impedance of the secondary battery based on an equivalent circuit model (ECM). Thereafter, the control method may execute step S535 of determining whether the secondary battery has an abnormality based on the estimation result based on the ECM. When the judgment result of step S535 is that an abnormality exists, the control method may enter step S540. On the contrary, when the judgment result of step S535 is that there is no abnormality, the control method may end. Thereafter, the processor 120 may periodically repeat the above steps S505 to S540.

[0076] The control method of the battery management system according to another embodiment of the present disclosure can determine whether the secondary battery has an abnormality by correlating the EIS measurement and the measurement based on the equivalent circuit model. That is, another embodiment of the present disclosure can make up for the weakness of the method of sensing the abnormality of the secondary battery based on the equivalent circuit model, which is difficult to estimate the impedance during the rest period and the constant current operation interval.

[0077] The above content is only an example of applying the principles of the present disclosure, and other configurations may also be included without departing from the scope of the present invention.
