[0002] With the continuous growth of global energy demand and the increasing awareness of environmental protection, energy storage technology is playing an increasingly important role in modern power systems. Energy storage devices, especially mobile energy storage devices, have become crucial means of addressing energy instability and load regulation due to their flexibility and efficiency. In recent years, mobile energy storage devices have been widely used in emergency power supply, renewable energy grid connection regulation, and power system peak-valley balancing. Traditional energy storage technologies mainly rely on electrochemical batteries, whose performance and lifespan directly affect the reliability and economy of energy storage devices. Battery internal resistance is a crucial parameter for assessing battery performance and health; changes in internal resistance can effectively predict battery lifespan and failure rates. Therefore, how to accurately and in real-time detect battery internal resistance has become an important research direction in the field of energy storage technology.

[0003] Most existing battery internal resistance detection methods are offline, requiring the battery to be removed from the energy storage device for measurement. This method not only increases operational complexity and time costs but also fails to acquire real-time data on changes in battery internal resistance, leading to lag in battery state monitoring. Furthermore, traditional internal resistance detection methods have limitations in measurement accuracy and data processing capabilities, making it difficult to meet the high-precision, real-time internal resistance detection requirements of modern energy storage systems. Especially in complex application scenarios, such as electric vehicles, smart grids, and emergency energy storage systems, offline detection methods struggle to provide continuous and reliable data support. Therefore, developing an efficient and accurate online internal resistance detection method is crucial to solving these problems.

[0004] Existing technologies for internal resistance detection suffer from the following shortcomings: First, offline detection methods are complex to operate and cannot achieve real-time monitoring of battery internal resistance, affecting the accuracy and timeliness of battery state assessment. Second, existing detection technologies have limited measurement accuracy, making it difficult to capture minute changes in internal resistance and failing to provide high-precision battery health status assessments. Finally, traditional methods lack sufficient data processing capabilities, cannot effectively analyze internal resistance change trends, and lack the ability to predict the future state of the battery. Our invention sends an AC signal to the battery via a signal generator, and voltage and current sensors measure the response signals respectively. A Fourier transform algorithm is used to extract characteristic parameters from the AC signal, and combined with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the battery's internal resistance value is calculated. This overcomes the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, achieving high-precision, real-time internal resistance detection. Summary of the Invention

Existing technologies for internal resistance detection suffer from problems such as poor real-time performance, low accuracy, and insufficient data processing capabilities. Our invention solves these problems through an online detection method, representing an innovative achievement in the field of power and energy storage technology.

[0115] (1) Experimental subjects

[0116] Existing battery internal resistance detection technologies mainly fall into two categories: DC impedance measurement and simple AC signal testing. These methods have the following drawbacks:

[0117] DC impedance measurement: It is simple to operate, but it is easily affected by the battery status (such as charging status, temperature, etc.) and cannot provide frequency-related battery response information, which is insufficient for battery performance evaluation under dynamic load conditions.

[0118] Simple AC signal testing: This method typically uses only a single frequency or signal type, which limits the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the measurement and fails to fully identify battery characteristics under different operating conditions.

[0119] This invention proposes an online detection method for battery internal resistance using various AC signal types (sine wave, square wave, triangular wave, and frequency scanning signal). Combined with Fourier transform algorithm and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, this method can effectively assess the battery's health status. Specifically:

[0120] It provides more comprehensive battery response analysis, adaptable to a wider range of test conditions, and more accurate evaluation of battery performance. Using Fourier transform to extract characteristic parameters of the AC signal, combined with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, improves the accuracy and reliability of internal resistance measurement.

[0121] (2) Experimental environment

[0122] Signal generator: generates various AC signals as needed, including sine waves, square waves, triangle waves, and frequency scanning signals.

[0123] Voltage and current sensors: High-precision sensors that ensure the accuracy of measurement data.

[0124] Data acquisition system: Records experimental data for subsequent analysis.

[0125] Signal application: The signal generator sends different types of AC signals to the battery according to a preset program.

[0126] Data logging: Voltage and current sensors record the battery's response to each signal in real time.

[0127] Data processing: The recorded data is processed using the Fourier transform algorithm to extract key feature parameters.

[0128] Internal resistance calculation and analysis: The internal resistance of the battery is calculated based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to assess its health status.

[0129] (3) Experimental results

[0130] Table 1 shows the battery response data when using different signal types, including the measured voltage, current, and calculated internal resistance.

[0133] In an alternative implementation, a signal generator, such as the Agilent 33500B waveform generator, is used to generate the required AC signal. This device can precisely control the frequency, amplitude, and waveform type of the output signal and is an indispensable tool in battery internal resistance measurement.

[0134] In an alternative implementation, high-precision battery response data can be obtained by using a high-precision voltage and current sensor, such as the Fluke 289 true RMS multimeter.

[0135] Preferably, referring to Table 1, it can be intuitively seen that different signal types have different excitation effects on the battery, which shows a specific advantage in the measurement of internal resistance; for example, square wave signals, due to their rapid change characteristics, can more effectively reveal the response characteristics of the battery under rapid load changes.

[0136] This invention discloses an online internal resistance detection method for mobile energy storage devices, comprising: sending an AC signal to the battery via a signal generator, and measuring the response signals by voltage and current sensors respectively; extracting characteristic parameters from the AC signal using a Fourier transform algorithm; calculating the battery's internal resistance value using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; and assessing the battery's health status based on the internal resistance value. This invention achieves high-precision, real-time battery internal resistance detection, and, combined with data analysis algorithms, can provide a detailed assessment of the battery's health status. This method not only improves the accuracy and reliability of measurements but also provides effective early warnings and maintenance suggestions, significantly enhancing the overall performance and safety of energy storage devices.

[0137] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
