Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of battery modeling and parameter identification, and particularly relates to a parameter identification method for a lithium battery fractional-order model. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, lithium batteries have become a key energy source due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and environmental friendliness. As the core monitoring and control system for lithium batteries, the performance of the battery management system (BMS) depends on a high-precision battery model. The traditional integer-order equivalent circuit model (IOM) simulates the polarization behavior of the battery through multiple RC branches. It has the characteristics of simple structure and efficient computation and is widely used in BMS. However, the electrochemical processes within lithium batteries have complex characteristics such as multi-scale, nonlinear, and history-dependent. As a result, the IOM modeling accuracy is insufficient under dynamic conditions, making it difficult to accurately describe the battery's medium-frequency impedance response.
[0003] In recent years, the Fractional-Order Model (FOM), by introducing a constant phase element (CPE) to replace an ideal capacitor, has become an important development direction in the field of battery modeling, enabling a more reasonable description of the dynamic behavior of batteries, especially the impedance characteristics in the mid-frequency region. However, parameter identification of the FOM faces many challenges:
[0004] Many parameters and strong coupling: FOM contains multiple parameters such as fractional order, time constant, resistance, etc., which are coupled with each other, increasing the difficulty of identification.
[0005] High computational complexity: Existing methods (such as particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithms (GA)) rely on numerical optimization and global search, which takes a long time to calculate and is difficult to meet the needs of online applications.
[0006] Insufficient stability and repeatability: Traditional methods are prone to falling into local optimal solutions, the identification results are greatly affected by the initial values, and the stability is poor.
[0007] To address the above issues, an efficient, stable and physically clear parameter identification method is urgently needed to improve the practicality of FOM in BMS. Summary of the Invention

[0038] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0039] Compared with traditional parameter identification techniques that rely on meta-heuristic methods such as particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA), the present invention constructs the objective function based on the analytical solution of the fractional-order model and combines it with efficient nonlinear least squares optimization (such as the trust region reflective method), which greatly reduces the computational complexity and running time, and significantly improves the stability and repeatability of the identification process.
[0040] The present invention utilizes Caputo fractional-order differential theory and the analytical solution of the Mittag-Leffler function to ensure that the model is highly consistent with the actual dynamic characteristics of the battery, while retaining the physical interpretability of parameters (such as polarization resistance and time constant), facilitating subsequent SOC estimation and health status analysis. It has a good iterative structure and physical interpretability, and is particularly suitable for embedded battery management systems (BMS) with high requirements for model accuracy and computational efficiency.
[0041] This method only requires extracting the zero-input response decay segment after the pulse current ends, completing parameter identification through short-term excitation, reducing experimental difficulty and data acquisition costs. By using constrained optimization boundaries and trust region reflection methods, the parameters are ensured to converge within a reasonable range, improving the repeatability and reliability of the identification results. The method is applicable to different temperatures, SOCs, and battery aging states.
[0042] In addition, the present invention does not rely on a specific battery type or positive electrode material and can be adapted to a variety of lithium-ion batteries (such as lithium iron phosphate, ternary lithium, etc.). The proposed analytical identification framework has good versatility and can be extended to modeling and online monitoring tasks of various battery types and complex working conditions. It has broad engineering application value and industrialization prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0047] Step 1: Based on the Caputo fractional differential definition, construct an n-order fractional equivalent circuit model for lithium batteries (such as Figure 1 An n-order fractional-order equivalent circuit model (FOM) is given; the model contains n series-connected fractional-order branches and a constant resistor in series with the n series-connected fractional-order branches. , all fractional-order branches are connected by resistors R i It is connected in parallel with a constant phase element (CPE), where the impedance expression of the constant phase element is:
[0048] ,
[0049] Where s represents the complex variable in the Laplace transform domain, represents the order of the i-th constant phase element, represents the constant term of the i-th constant phase element, i represents the i-th constant phase element;
[0050] Battery terminal voltage It can be expressed by the following equation:

[0052] Where, It indicates the open circuit voltage of the battery after a long period of rest, and SOC indicates the state of charge. Represents the voltage of the i-th constant phase element; open circuit voltage It can be obtained by fitting a fifth-order polynomial:
[0053] .
[0054] At multiple different SOC points, a constant pulse current I with an amplitude of ±5 A and a duration of not less than 10 s is applied. pulse Then let it stand for 60 seconds and record the corresponding battery voltage response curve U t (t).
[0055] Step 2: During the battery rest phase, obtain the zero input response voltage curve and extract the voltage data of the key attenuation section as the experimental data required for parameter identification; intercept the voltage attenuation section of the rest phase after the pulse current ends from the battery voltage response curve, that is, the zero input response phase, i.e. Figure 2 The T4 to T5 stage is used as experimental data for parameter identification.
[0056] Step 3: Based on the analytical solution of the fractional-order equivalent circuit model, the Mittag-Leffler function is used to express the zero-input response, and an objective function is constructed to describe the error between the experimental data and the predicted value of the fractional-order equivalent circuit model;

[0073] Performing HPPC experiment at a certain SOC point, we get Figure 2 Data snippet of zero input response The specific operation is as follows: To perform parameter identification, the voltage response segment for identification must first be constructed. In practice, a constant current excitation experiment can be used to excite the battery at multiple SOC points, collecting voltage response data. The natural decay segment after the excitation is removed is then extracted as the identification input, as shown in Figure 2.
[0074] The extracted natural decay segment corresponds to the zero-input response of the system, and its theoretical expression is given by the analytical solution above. The voltage response data at multiple moments and the analytical model expression form a nonlinear least squares fitting problem.
