[0062] In the embodiment of the application, the electrical, thermal and mechanical performance parameters of the power battery are obtained through coupling experimental measurement. For a certain type of ternary lithium battery, a high-precision battery test system is used to perform a charge-discharge experiment, and the electrical performance parameters such as voltage, current and capacity of the battery are measured at different charge-discharge rates such as 0.5C, 1C and 2C, with a sampling frequency of 1 Hz, and the data during the entire charge-discharge process is recorded continuously. An infrared thermal imager is used to measure the surface temperature distribution of the battery, and the temperature resolution of the thermal imager is 0.1℃ and the spatial resolution is 0.5mm. Temperature data is collected every 5 seconds during the charge-discharge process to obtain the dynamic changes of the surface temperature field of the battery. A mechanical testing device is used to apply pressure in different directions to the battery to measure the stress-strain curve and elastic modulus of the battery. In the pressure test, the loading rate is 0.1mm / min and the maximum loading force is 500N. The relationship data between pressure and deformation is recorded. Based on these measurement data, three-dimensional coupling simulation construction is performed on the power battery. A finite element analysis method is used to divide the battery into 100x80x50 hexahedral grid elements, each with a size of 1.5mmx1mmx0.4mm. An electrochemical-thermal-mechanical coupling model is established. The electrochemical model uses a P2D (pseudo two-dimensional) model to describe the electrochemical process inside the battery. The thermal model is based on the Fourier heat conduction equation to describe heat transfer. The mechanical model uses a linear elastic model to describe the mechanical response of the battery. The interaction between the three physical fields is realized through the coupling interface. For example, the Joule heat generated by the electrochemical process is input into the thermal model as a heat source. Temperature changes will affect the electrochemical performance parameters of the battery. At the same time, mechanical deformation will change the contact state inside the battery, thereby affecting the electrical and thermal performance. By solving the coupled equation set, a three-dimensional physical field coupling model of the power battery is finally generated. This model can accurately reflect the multi-physical field interaction of the battery in actual operation.

The simulation system contains 1000 atoms, the simulation time step is 1 fs, the equilibrium simulation is carried out for 100 ps under the NVT ensemble, and then the production simulation is carried out for 500 ps under the NVE ensemble. The thermal conductivity coefficient is obtained by calculating the integral of the heat flow autocorrelation function. Finally, the thermal conductivity coefficient of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide electrode material is determined as 1.2 W / (m K). For the electrolyte, the specific heat capacity is calculated by the statistical thermodynamics method. The molar fraction and heat capacity contribution of each component in the electrolyte are considered. The specific heat capacity of the lithium hexafluorophosphate solution is calculated as 1200 J / (kg K). In the battery monomer scale, the monomer charging and discharging thermal analysis is carried out. The charging and discharging working condition is set as 1C constant current charging to 4.2V, then constant voltage charging until the current decreases to 0.05C, and then 1C constant current discharging to 2.7V.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, by means of the constructed electrode-electrolyte microstructure conductivity tensor, the ion migration network of the battery monomer in the three-dimensional physical field coupling model of the power battery is generated in combination with the entropy change theory in thermodynamics. Taking the charging process of the battery monomer as an example, the interface and internal pores of the electrode and electrolyte are set as nodes, and the ion migration path is set as an edge. The ion migration behavior in the battery monomer is simulated and analyzed by using the computational fluid dynamics software and the thermodynamic calculation module. In the calculation process, the ion migration behavior is regarded as the flux transmission driven by entropy change. For each node, the entropy change value is calculated by using the thermodynamic formula according to the temperature, ion concentration and other parameters at the node. For example, when the temperature is 30℃ and the lithium ion concentration changes at a certain node of the electrode-electrolyte interface, the entropy change value is calculated by the formula (wherein is the amount of substance, is the gas constant, , is the ion concentration at different times). For the edge (ion migration path), the flux size is calculated according to the ion migration rate and the amount of substance of the migrated ions. For example, if the lithium ion migrates 0.01 mol per second on a certain ion migration path, the flux is 0.01 mol / s. By calculating all the nodes and edges in the battery monomer, the corresponding ion migration entropy change flux network is constructed. The network directly presents the ion migration behavior between the electrode and the electrolyte in the battery monomer during the charging and discharging process, and the driving effect of entropy change on ion migration, which helps to deeply study the ion transmission mechanism in the battery and provides a theoretical basis for optimizing the battery performance.

At the same time, the contact pressure distribution between the current collector and the electrode material is measured by the pressure sensor array, and the contact pressure in different areas is recorded during the battery assembly process, for example, the contact pressure in the center area of the battery is 1.5 MPa, and the contact pressure in the edge area is 1.2 MPa. According to the calculation formula of the contact thermal resistance in heat transfer (wherein is the contact gap, is the thermal conductivity, is the contact area), the thermal resistance of each contact area between the current collector and the electrode material is calculated in combination with the surface roughness and the contact pressure distribution data. In the area where the contact pressure is large and the surface roughness is small, the contact gap is small, and the calculated value of the thermal resistance is 0.05 K / W; in the area where the contact pressure is small and the surface roughness is large, the calculated value of the thermal resistance is 0.2 K / W. The thermal resistances of the contact areas are arranged in a matrix form to construct a current collector-electrode contact thermal resistance matrix, which records the thermal resistances of different positions between the current collector and the electrode material in detail, provides key parameters for accurately simulating the heat conduction process in the battery, helps to optimize the design of the battery thermal management system, and improves the heat dissipation efficiency and safety of the battery.

[0101] The corresponding thermal temperature distribution of each monomer in the battery module is obtained by analyzing the thermal temperature distribution of each monomer in the battery module according to the corresponding thermal temperature distribution of each monomer in the battery module based on the three-dimensional physical field coupling model of the power battery.
[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, by focusing on a power battery module composed of 12 battery monomers in the established three-dimensional physical field coupling model of the power battery, the temperature information of each monomer is mapped to the overall model of the module based on the previously obtained temperature distribution data of the battery monomer at different times and different positions during charging and discharging. For example, at the time of charging for 30 minutes, the center temperature of monomer 1 is 45℃, the center temperature of monomer 2 is 43℃, and so on. The temperature distribution data of the 12 monomers in the three-dimensional space is integrated, and the battery module is divided into 100x80x50 small spatial grid units by using professional three-dimensional modeling and analysis software through grid division technology. The size of each grid unit is 1.5mmx1mmx0.4mm. The temperature data of each monomer is accurately filled into the corresponding grid unit according to its actual position in the module, and the thermal temperature distribution cloud chart of the entire battery module at this time is generated. In the cloud chart, different colors represent different temperature intervals, the red area represents the high temperature area, and the blue area represents the low temperature area. By rotating, scaling and other operations, the temperature distribution of each monomer in the module can be observed from different angles, and the distribution characteristics such as the relatively low temperature of the monomers at the edge of the module and the high temperature of the monomers in the middle part are clearly presented. The corresponding thermal temperature distribution of each monomer in the battery module at the time of charging for 30 minutes is finally obtained. During discharging and at other times, the temperature distribution analysis is also carried out in the same way to obtain complete thermal temperature distribution data of the module.
[0103] Preferably, the temperature difference between each monomer in the battery module is quantified according to the corresponding thermal temperature distribution of each monomer in the battery module.
[0104] In the embodiment of the present application, the temperature difference is quantified by the previously obtained thermal temperature distribution corresponding to each monomer in the battery module, the temperature distribution data at the time of charging for 30 minutes is selected, the temperature at the center position of the battery monomer is taken as the representative value, the monomer with the highest temperature is found first, assuming that the center temperature of monomer 7 is 48℃, the monomer with the lowest temperature is found, assuming that the center temperature of monomer 3 is 42℃, the temperature difference between the two is calculated as 48℃-42℃=6℃, which is the maximum temperature difference between the monomers in the module. In order to more comprehensively describe the temperature difference, the standard deviation of all monomer temperatures is calculated, the center temperature values of 12 monomers, 45℃, 43℃, 42℃, 44℃, 46℃, 47℃, 48℃, 45℃, 44℃, 43℃, 42℃, 46℃, are substituted into the standard deviation calculation formula (wherein is the temperature value of each monomer, is the average value of all monomer temperatures, is the number of monomers), the average value is calculated first, then the square of the difference between each monomer temperature and the average value is calculated in turn, the sum is divided by the number of monomers, and finally the square root is taken to obtain a standard deviation of about 1.8℃. Through the maximum temperature difference and the standard deviation, the temperature difference between each monomer in the battery module is accurately obtained, which provides data support for evaluating the thermal consistency of the battery module.
[0105] Preferably, based on the thermal temperature distribution corresponding to each monomer in the battery module, the battery module and the battery monomer in the three-dimensional physical field coupling model of the power battery are analyzed for module monomer heat transfer to obtain the heat transfer path between each monomer in the battery module.
[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, based on the thermal temperature distribution corresponding to each monomer in the battery module, the battery module and the battery monomer in the three-dimensional physical field coupling model of the power battery are analyzed for module monomer heat transfer, taking the temperature distribution state at the time of charging for 30 minutes as an example, according to Fourier's law (wherein is the heat flux density, is the thermal conductivity, is the temperature gradient), the heat flux density between each monomer is calculated, assuming that monomer 1 and monomer 2 are adjacent, the temperature of monomer 1 is 45℃, the temperature of monomer 2 is 43℃, the contact area between the two monomers is 80cm 2 , the thermal conductivity k of the monomer material is 2W / ( ), the temperature gradient =(45-43)×0.01m=200K / m (assuming the center distance between the two monomers is 1cm), then the heat flux density =-400W / , the negative sign indicates that heat flows from the high-temperature monomer 1 to the low-temperature monomer 2, and the heat flow =-3.2W, by calculating the heat flow between all adjacent cells in the module, the size and direction of the heat flow between each two cells are determined, and the three-dimensional visualization software is used to mark the heat flow direction on the three-dimensional model of the battery module in the form of arrows, the thickness of the arrow represents the size of the heat flow, thereby intuitively showing the heat transfer path between each cell in the battery module, it can be clearly seen that in the module, heat is mainly transferred from the middle cell with higher temperature to the edge cell with lower temperature, and there is also mutual heat transfer between adjacent cells, and the complete heat transfer path between each cell in the battery module is obtained, which provides an important basis for optimizing the thermal management design of the battery module.
[0107] Further, the module cell heat transfer analysis between the corresponding battery module and the battery cell in the power battery three-dimensional physical field coupling model based on the corresponding thermal temperature distribution of each cell in the battery module includes the following steps:
[0108] The contact interface between the battery cell and the module structure is determined between the corresponding battery module and the battery cell in the power battery three-dimensional physical field coupling model;
[0109] In the embodiment of the application, the contact interface between the battery cell and the module structure is determined in the power battery three-dimensional physical field coupling model for a battery module composed of 12 battery cells, the module structure includes a metal frame, a heat sink and the like, wherein the metal frame is used to fix the battery cell, and the heat sink is responsible for leading out the heat generated by the battery, taking one cuboid battery cell as an example, among the six surfaces of the battery cell, four sides are closely attached to the metal frame, the bottom surface is in contact with the heat sink, and the top surface is in contact with the bottom surface of the adjacent cell, the contact areas are accurately identified and marked through the geometric analysis function of the three-dimensional modeling software, the three-dimensional models of the battery cell and the structure are subjected to Boolean operation by the software, and the intersecting surface domains are found, which are the contact interfaces, for example, the four sides of the battery cell in contact with the metal frame are accurately defined, and the corresponding contact interface geometric data including area, shape and the like are generated, thereby providing basic data for subsequent heat transfer analysis.
[0110] Preferably, the corresponding material surface roughness measurement data and the contact pressure distribution are obtained from the corresponding battery module in the power battery three-dimensional physical field coupling model, and the heat flow distribution of the contact interface between the battery cell and the module structure is evaluated based on the material surface roughness measurement data and the contact pressure distribution, so as to obtain the heat flow distribution coefficient of the contact interface between the battery cell and the module structure, wherein represents the proportion of the heat flow from the battery cell to the module structure at the contact interface;
[0111] In the embodiment of the present application, the material surface roughness measurement data and the contact pressure distribution corresponding to the battery module are obtained through the three-dimensional physical field coupling model, so as to obtain the surface roughness data by measuring the surfaces of the battery monomer, the metal frame and the heat dissipation plate using a surface profiler, such as the battery monomer surface roughness Ra value of 1.2 μm, the metal frame surface Ra value of 0.8 μm, and the heat dissipation plate surface Ra value of 0.6 μm. In the module assembly process, the contact pressure distribution is measured by using a pressure sensor array. In the contact area between the battery monomer and the metal frame, the central part contact pressure is 1.8 MPa, and the edge part is 1.5 MPa. In the contact area between the battery monomer and the heat dissipation plate, the average contact pressure is 2.0 MPa. Based on these data, the heat flow distribution of the contact interface between the battery monomer and the module structure is evaluated, so as to calculate the contact thermal resistance of each contact interface according to the contact thermal resistance theory, the contact thermal resistance is related to the surface roughness and the contact pressure, and the formula = f(Ra, p) (wherein is the contact thermal resistance, is the surface roughness, p is the contact pressure) is used. For example, in the contact area between the battery monomer and the metal frame, the contact thermal resistance is calculated to be 0.1 K / W according to the surface roughness and the contact pressure. The contact thermal resistance of the contact area with the heat dissipation plate is 0.05 K / W. Then, the heat flow distribution coefficient is calculated according to the thermal resistance. Assuming that the total heat flow generated by the battery monomer is , the heat flow transferred through the heat dissipation plate is , and the heat flow transferred through the metal frame is , the heat flow distribution coefficient ( is the contact thermal resistance of the battery monomer and the heat dissipation plate, is the contact thermal resistance of the battery monomer and the metal frame), for example, the heat flow distribution coefficient of the contact interface between the battery monomer and the heat dissipation plate is calculated to be 0.6, that is, the proportion of the heat flow from the battery monomer to the heat dissipation plate at the contact interface is 60%. The heat flow distribution coefficient of the contact interface with the metal frame is 0.4, so that the complete heat flow distribution coefficient is obtained.
[0112] Preferably, the module monomer heat transfer analysis between the corresponding battery module and the battery monomer in the three-dimensional physical field coupling model of the power battery is carried out based on the corresponding thermal temperature distribution of each monomer in the battery module and in combination with the heat flow distribution coefficient of the contact interface between the battery monomer and the module structure, so as to obtain the heat transfer path between each monomer in the battery module.
[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, by means of the thermal temperature distribution corresponding to each monomer in the battery module, combined with the heat flow distribution coefficient corresponding to the contact interface between the battery monomer and the module structure, the module monomer heat transfer analysis between the battery module and the battery monomer is carried out. Taking the charging time of 30 minutes as an example, the center temperature of monomer 1 is 45℃, the center temperature of monomer 2 is 43℃, the heat flow distribution coefficient of the contact interface between monomer 1 and the heat sink is 0.6, and the heat flow distribution coefficient of the contact interface between monomer 1 and the metal frame is 0.4. According to Fourier's law The total heat flow density of monomer 1 is calculated, assuming that the thermal conductivity k=2 W / (m K), temperature gradient After the total heat flow Q is calculated according to the temperature difference and distance between adjacent monomers, according to the heat flow distribution coefficient, the heat flow of 0.6Q is distributed to the contact interface with the heat sink, and the heat flow of 0.4Q is distributed to the contact interface with the metal frame. For the heat transfer between monomer 1 and monomer 2, the heat flow distribution coefficient of the contact interface between the two (assuming 0.5) is also considered, and the heat flow size and direction are calculated by combining the temperature difference. By calculating the contact interface between all monomers and structure in the module and the contact interface between monomers, the size and direction of heat flow at each place are determined, and by using three-dimensional visualization software, different colors and thickness of arrows are marked on the three-dimensional model of the battery module to show the heat transfer path. It can be clearly seen that heat is not only transferred between monomers, but also transferred to module structures through different contact interfaces in different proportions, such as from the middle monomer with higher temperature, part of the heat is quickly discharged through the heat sink, and part of the heat is transferred to the edge monomer through the metal frame. Finally, a complete and accurate heat transfer path between each monomer in the battery module is obtained, which provides detailed basis for optimizing the battery module thermal management scheme.
[0114] Further, step S3 comprises the following steps:
[0115] Step S31: based on the neural network combined with the dynamic battery thermal characteristic data set, a multi-scale deep neural network architecture is constructed, which includes an input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer;
[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, by building a multi-scale deep neural network architecture based on the constructed power battery thermal characteristic data set, the number of input layer neurons is determined according to the feature dimension of the data set. Since the power battery thermal characteristic data set integrates micro material thermal physical property data, battery monomer thermal characteristic data, battery module thermal distribution data and battery system thermal management parameter data, a total of 50 features such as electrode material thermal conductivity, electrolyte specific heat capacity, monomer temperature change curve data points, module monomer temperature difference, etc. are included. Therefore, 50 neurons are set in the input layer, each neuron corresponds to an input interface of a feature data, responsible for receiving and transmitting data. The hidden layer adopts a multi-layer structure, and 3 hidden layers are set, with 100, 80 and 60 neurons in each layer respectively. The neurons in each hidden layer are connected to the neurons in the previous layer through weights, and the layers are connected in a full connection manner. This structure design aims to mine the complex correlation between different scale thermal characteristic data through multi-layer nonlinear transformation, such as capturing the influence of micro material thermal physical property on battery monomer thermal characteristic, and the relationship between the performance of battery monomer thermal characteristic on the module scale and the system thermal management parameters. The output layer is set with 3 neurons, respectively corresponding to the output of three key parameters of power battery thermal management prediction: battery temperature distribution, heat generation efficiency and heat transfer coefficient. The output value of each neuron is processed by an activation function and output as part of the final prediction result, thereby constructing a complete multi-scale deep neural network architecture and laying a foundation for subsequent thermal management prediction training.
[0117] Step S32: thermal management prediction training of the multi-scale deep neural network architecture based on the power battery thermal characteristic data set, taking the power battery thermal characteristic data set as the training set to input the corresponding input layer of the multi-scale deep neural network architecture, and automatically assigning weights of different power battery thermal characteristics corresponding features in the hidden layer, while designing a hybrid loss to adjust the model parameters with an adaptive learning rate, wherein the hybrid loss includes temperature prediction error, heat generation rate prediction error and heat conduction coefficient prediction error, and the output layer simultaneously predicts the thermal management prediction parameters of the corresponding battery temperature distribution, heat generation efficiency and heat transfer coefficient of the power battery to train and generate a power battery thermal management prediction model;
[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, the constructed multi-scale deep neural network architecture is trained for thermal management prediction by using the power battery thermal characteristic dataset. The dataset is divided into a training set and a validation set in a ratio of 8:2, wherein the training set is used for model parameter adjustment, and the validation set is used for evaluating the model training effect. In the training process, the training set data is sequentially input into the input layer of the neural network. After the data enters the hidden layer, each neuron performs weighted summation on the input data according to the connection weight, and performs nonlinear transformation through an activation function (such as a ReLU function). The weights of different power battery thermal characteristics corresponding to the features are automatically adjusted in the hidden layer through a back propagation algorithm. For example, if it is found that the thermal conductivity coefficient of the electrode material has less influence on the battery temperature distribution prediction result at the beginning of the training, the algorithm will automatically reduce the corresponding weight. If the single cell temperature change curve data is crucial to the thermal generation efficiency prediction, the weight of this feature will be increased to highlight its role in the model. A hybrid loss function is designed to comprehensively consider the temperature prediction error, thermal generation rate prediction error and thermal conductivity coefficient prediction error. The mean square error (MSE) is used to calculate the error between the predicted values and the actual values of these three parameters, and then they are weighted and summed according to a certain proportion (such as temperature prediction error accounting for 40%, thermal generation rate prediction error accounting for 30%, and thermal conductivity coefficient prediction error accounting for 30%) to obtain the final hybrid loss value. An adaptive learning rate adjustment algorithm (such as the Adam algorithm) is used to dynamically adjust the learning rate according to the change of the hybrid loss value. In the early stage of training, a larger learning rate can speed up the update of model parameters. As the training progresses, when the loss value decreases to a certain extent, the learning rate is automatically reduced to avoid over updating of model parameters, ensuring the stability and accuracy of model training. After multiple rounds of training (the training period is set to 100 times), the prediction error of the model on the validation set gradually decreases and tends to be stable. Finally, the output layer outputs the predicted power battery thermal management parameters, including battery temperature distribution, thermal generation efficiency and thermal transfer coefficient, thereby training the power battery thermal management prediction model.
[0119] Step S33: Obtain the battery thermal characteristic dataset corresponding to the real-time power battery, and input the battery thermal characteristic dataset corresponding to the real-time power battery into the power battery thermal management prediction model for thermal management prediction to output the thermal management prediction result corresponding to the power battery.
[0120] In the embodiment of the present application, by acquiring the real-time battery thermal characteristic data set corresponding to the power battery in the actual application scene, real-time data is collected by various sensors installed in the battery system, such as temperature sensors collecting temperature data at different positions of the battery monomer every 10 seconds, pressure sensors monitoring the pressure change of the cooling medium to calculate the flow, and combining the charge and discharge current, voltage and other data recorded by the battery management system, after data preprocessing (including data cleaning, normalization and other operations), a real-time battery thermal characteristic data set consistent with the training set format is constructed, the real-time battery thermal characteristic data set is input into the trained power battery thermal management prediction model, and the data is processed in turn through the input layer and the hidden layer. In the hidden layer, the model extracts and analyzes the features of the input data according to the weights obtained by training, and mines the thermal characteristic information contained in the real-time data. Finally, the output layer outputs the corresponding thermal management prediction results of the power battery, including the predicted battery temperature distribution (such as predicting that the center temperature of the battery monomer will rise from 45℃ to 48℃ in the next 10 minutes), the heat generation efficiency (such as predicting that the heat generation efficiency under the current working condition is 500J per minute), and the heat transfer coefficient (such as predicting that the heat transfer coefficient between the battery module and the heat sink is 15 W / (m 2 K) ), These prediction results can provide decision basis for the power battery thermal management system, for example, according to the predicted temperature rise, the cooling medium flow is adjusted in advance, the thermal management strategy is optimized, and the power battery is ensured to run in a safe and efficient temperature range.
[0121] Further, step S31 includes the following steps:
[0122] The correlation between each power battery thermal characteristic parameter is obtained through the power battery thermal characteristic data set, and the number of nodes and the feature combination mode corresponding to the input layer are determined based on the correlation between each power battery thermal characteristic parameter. At the same time, a hierarchical feature extraction module is designed based on the neural network, so as to adopt different feature extraction methods for different power battery thermal characteristic parameters, including convolutional neural network CNN for processing spatial features and recurrent neural network RNN for processing time series features;
[0123] In the embodiment of the present application, by basing on the thermal characteristic data set of the power battery, first, the correlation analysis between parameters is carried out, the Pearson correlation coefficient calculation method is adopted, the 50 thermal characteristic parameters (such as the thermal conductivity of electrode material, the specific heat capacity of electrolyte, the data points of single cell temperature change curve, the temperature difference between single cells in module, etc.) in the data set are calculated two by two, and the correlation coefficient threshold is set to 0.7. When the absolute value of the correlation coefficient between two parameters is greater than the threshold, it is considered that the two parameters have strong correlation. Through calculation, it is found that the correlation between the thermal conductivity of electrode material and the temperature change rate of battery single cell in the charging and discharging process is 0.82, which belongs to strong correlation. While the correlation between the specific heat capacity of electrolyte and the heat generation efficiency is only 0.21, which is weak correlation. According to these correlation results, the number of input layer nodes and the feature combination method are determined. For the strongly correlated parameters, feature combination is carried out, such as combining the thermal conductivity of electrode material and the temperature change rate into a new feature dimension to reduce the number of input layer nodes. Finally, 40 nodes are determined for the input layer. Based on the neural network design, a hierarchical feature extraction module is designed. Different feature extraction methods are adopted for different types of power battery thermal characteristic parameters. For parameters with spatial characteristics, such as the temperature distribution data of each single cell in the battery module, convolutional neural network (CNN) is used for processing. The temperature distribution data is organized into a two-dimensional matrix form, a 3x3 convolution kernel is designed, and spatial features are extracted through convolution operation to capture the local pattern and spatial correlation of temperature distribution. For parameters with time sequence characteristics, such as the temperature change curve data of battery single cell in the charging and discharging process, recurrent neural network (RNN) is used for processing. The temperature change curve is segmented into sequence data in time sequence and input into RNN. Through the transmission mechanism of hidden state, the time sequence dependence and change trend in the data are captured.
[0124] Preferably, the hidden layer is designed and the residual block and attention mechanism are introduced therein, wherein the residual block is used to solve the gradient disappearance of deep network, and the attention mechanism is used to automatically assign the weight of different features;
[0125] In the embodiments of the present application, the residual block is introduced when designing the hidden layer to solve the gradient vanishing problem of deep network. The hidden layer is divided into multiple residual units, each of which contains two fully connected layers and a skip connection. Taking the first residual unit as an example, the input data first passes through the first fully connected layer, which contains 100 neurons and uses the ReLU activation function for nonlinear transformation. The transformed output then passes through the second fully connected layer, which also contains 100 neurons and the ReLU activation function. Then, the original input data is directly added to the output of the second fully connected layer through the skip connection to form the residual connection. This structure allows the gradient to be directly transmitted through the skip connection during the training process, avoiding the problem of gradient vanishing in deep network, and improving the training efficiency and stability of the network. At the same time, an attention mechanism is introduced in the hidden layer to automatically assign weights to different features. After the output of each residual unit, an attention module is added. The module first performs linear transformation on the input features, and then calculates the attention weight of each feature through the softmax function. For example, for the battery temperature distribution prediction task, if the temperature change curve data at a certain time is more important for the prediction result, the attention mechanism will automatically assign a higher weight to this data. The specific calculation process is as follows: the output of the residual unit is input into a fully connected layer containing 50 neurons, processed by the tanh activation function, and then input into another fully connected layer containing 40 neurons. Finally, the attention weight of each feature is obtained through the softmax function. Multiply these weights with the original features to get the attention-adjusted feature representation, thereby highlighting the role of important features and improving the prediction accuracy of the model.
[0126] Preferably, the corresponding output layer is designed for multi-task learning to simultaneously predict the thermal management prediction parameters of the corresponding battery temperature distribution, heat generation efficiency and heat transfer coefficient of the power battery, and the corresponding multi-scale deep neural network architecture is constructed by the input layer, the hidden layer and the output layer.
[0127] In the embodiment of the present application, by designing a multi-task learning corresponding output layer to simultaneously predict the battery temperature distribution, heat generation efficiency and heat transfer coefficient of the power battery, the output layer is composed of three independent sub-layers, each of which is responsible for predicting a parameter. For the battery temperature distribution prediction sub-layer, the output of the hidden layer is first transformed by a fully connected layer containing 80 neurons, then by a fully connected layer containing 40 neurons, and finally connected to an output layer containing 10 neurons, each neuron corresponding to a temperature prediction value at different positions in the battery module. The mean square error loss function is used to calculate the error between the predicted temperature and the actual temperature. For the heat generation efficiency prediction sub-layer, the output of the hidden layer is transformed by a fully connected layer containing 60 neurons, and then connected to a fully connected layer containing 30 neurons, and finally output the heat generation efficiency prediction value through a neuron. The mean absolute error loss function is used to evaluate the accuracy of the prediction result. For the heat transfer coefficient prediction sub-layer, the output of the hidden layer is sequentially transformed by fully connected layers containing 70 and 35 neurons, and finally output the heat transfer coefficient prediction value through a neuron. Similarly, the mean absolute error loss function is used. The complete multi-scale deep neural network architecture is constructed by the input layer (40 nodes), the hidden layer (containing multiple residual units and attention modules) and the output layer (three independent sub-layers). This architecture can fully utilize different types of feature extraction methods to mine the complex relationships in the power battery thermal characteristic data, and simultaneously predict multiple thermal management parameters, providing a strong model foundation for subsequent thermal management prediction training.
[0128] Further, step S4 comprises the following steps:
[0129] Step S41: based on the thermal management prediction result corresponding to the power battery, the thermal management state change of the thermal management system corresponding to the power battery is analyzed to obtain the power battery thermal management state change space data;
[0130] In the embodiment of the present application, by analyzing the state change of the thermal management system based on the thermal management prediction result of the power battery, taking the prediction result at a certain time as an example, it is predicted that the battery module center temperature will rise from 45℃ to 48℃, the edge monomer temperature will rise from 42℃ to 44℃, the heat generation efficiency will be 500J per minute, and the heat transfer coefficient will be 15 W / (m 2 K), the predicted data is mapped into the three-dimensional model of the thermal management system of the power battery by three-dimensional visualization technology to generate thermal management state change space data, in which different colors represent different temperature regions and arrows represent heat flow directions, and color depth and arrow thickness reflect temperature values and heat flow sizes. For example, a high-temperature region is represented by a red region, a low-temperature region is represented by a blue region, and an arrow pointing from a high-temperature central region to a low-temperature edge region represents a heat transfer direction. Further analysis of the temperature distribution trend calculates the temperature gradient, which is (48℃-44℃) / 0.1m=40K / m (assuming the size of the module is 0.1m) under the current predicted condition. At the same time, the influence of the change of heat generation efficiency and heat transfer coefficient on the overall thermal state is analyzed, and the increase of the heat generation efficiency will cause the temperature rise speed to accelerate, and the size of the heat transfer coefficient directly affects the heat dissipation efficiency. In this way, the thermal management state change space data of the power battery is comprehensively obtained, which provides a basis for the subsequent definition of the thermal management objective function.
[0131] Step S42: defining a thermal management objective function corresponding to the power battery according to the thermal management state change space data of the power battery, wherein the thermal management objective function includes optimization objective functions corresponding to temperature distribution uniformity, energy consumption and power battery life;
[0132] In the embodiment of the present application, by defining the thermal management objective function according to the thermal management state change space data of the power battery, firstly, for the temperature distribution uniformity, the objective function is constructed, assuming that the battery module contains monomers, the temperature of the th monomer is , and the average value of the monomer temperature is , the standard deviation of the temperature of each monomer in the battery module is calculated, which is used as an evaluation index of the temperature distribution uniformity, and the objective is to minimize the standard deviation, i.e. the temperature distribution is as uniform as possible. For example, under the current predicted state, the standard deviation of the temperature of 12 monomers is 1.8℃, and the objective is to reduce it to below 1.0℃ through thermal management control. For the energy consumption objective function, the power consumption of the cooling pump is proportional to the cube of the flow rate ( is a proportional coefficient), the power consumption of the fan is proportional to the cube of the rotation speed ( is a proportional coefficient), and the power consumption of the heating element is proportional to the square of the current ( by establishing the mathematical relationship between the power consumption of these devices and the control parameters (such as cooling pump speed, fan power, heating element current), an energy consumption objective function is constructed The target is to minimize the total energy consumption under the premise of meeting the temperature control requirements. For the power battery life objective function, the impact of temperature on battery life is considered. Studies have shown that working at too high or too low temperature will accelerate aging and shorten the life of the battery. Through experimental data fitting, a relationship model between temperature and battery cycle life is established. For example, when the average temperature of the battery is between 25℃-35℃, the cycle life is the longest, and the life will gradually shorten when deviating from this range. The target is to keep the battery working temperature in this optimal range as much as possible, that is Wherein is the battery life, , is the fitting coefficient, is the average temperature, is the optimal working temperature. To maximize the battery life, the three aspects are integrated to construct a complete thermal management objective function , , and are weight coefficients.
[0133] Step S43: The thermal management system corresponding to the power battery is designed to include thermal management constraint conditions corresponding to temperature upper and lower limit constraints, cooling system power constraints and charge and discharge current constraints, and the thermal management constraint optimization control is performed on the thermal management objective function corresponding to the power battery based on the thermal management constraint conditions, to generate an optimal thermal management control strategy of the power battery;
[0134] In the embodiment of the present application, by designing the thermal management constraint condition, the thermal management objective function is constrained and optimized. First, the upper and lower temperature constraints are set. According to the specification requirements of the battery manufacturer, the upper limit of the temperature of the battery monomer is 55℃, and the lower limit is 15℃. In the optimization process, the temperature of all monomers is ensured to be within this range. The cooling system power constraint is set. The maximum power of the cooling pump is 500W, the maximum power of the fan is 300W, and the maximum power of the heating element is 200W. In the optimization process, the total power consumption of the cooling system cannot exceed these limits. The charging and discharging current constraint is set. According to the performance characteristics of the battery, the maximum charging current is 2C (40A), and the maximum discharging current is 3C (60A). In the thermal management process, the charging and discharging current must meet these constraint conditions. Based on these constraint conditions, the thermal management objective function is optimized and solved by using the sequential quadratic programming algorithm. The algorithm gradually finds the optimal solution that meets all the constraint conditions through iteration. In each iteration, the gradient and Hessian matrix of the objective function are calculated, and the value of the control parameter is updated according to this information. After multiple iterations, the optimal thermal management control parameters are obtained, including the optimal speed of the cooling pump, the optimal power of the fan and the optimal current of the heating element, and the optimal thermal management control strategy of the power battery is generated.
[0135] Step S44: uploading the optimal thermal management control strategy of the power battery to the cloud platform and converting it into actual thermal management system control parameters, including the cooling pump speed, fan power and heating element current, responding to the control of the corresponding thermal management system of the power battery to perform corresponding thermal management control work.
[0136] In the embodiment of the present application, the generated optimal thermal management control strategy of the power battery is uploaded to the cloud platform to convert the optimized control parameters (such as the cooling pump speed of 1200 rpm, the fan power of 150 W, and the heating element current of 2 A) into a standard data format through a dedicated data transmission protocol, and send them to the server of the cloud platform. After receiving the control parameters, the cloud platform performs format verification and parameter rationality check to verify whether the cooling pump speed is within the allowed operating range of the device (such as 500-3000 rpm), whether the fan power exceeds the maximum power limit (300 W), and whether the heating element current meets the safety standard (such as not exceeding 5 A). After verification, the cloud platform converts the control parameters into actual thermal management system control signals. For the cooling pump, the speed parameter is converted into a corresponding voltage control signal to adjust the supply voltage of the cooling pump through the frequency converter to realize speed control. For the fan, the power parameter is converted into a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control signal to control the speed of the fan by adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal, thereby realizing power regulation. For the heating element, the current parameter is converted into a current control signal to control the current size of the heating element by adjusting the resistance in the circuit or using a constant current source. After receiving these control signals, the thermal management system performs the corresponding thermal management control work. The cooling pump operates at a speed of 1200 rpm to provide stable cooling medium flow; the fan works at a power of 150 W to accelerate air flow and enhance heat dissipation effect; the heating element works at a current of 2 A to provide appropriate heating for the battery in a low temperature environment. In this way, precise control of the power battery thermal management system is realized to ensure that the battery works in a safe and efficient temperature range.
