Description

[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of battery testing technology, and in particular relates to a method, system, device, and medium for improving the accuracy of battery open circuit voltage testing. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in the development of battery management systems, open-circuit voltage (OCV) curves are commonly used to correct battery state-of-charge (SOC) and calculate state-of-health (SOH). However, the OCV curve is susceptible to drift, which reduces the accuracy of SOC correction and SOH calculation. Traditional testing methods require long OCV curve tests at different temperatures and SOC states. This is not only time-consuming but also increases the risk of errors due to self-discharge or capacity fade.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new method, system, device and medium for improving the accuracy of battery open circuit voltage testing to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] As a further optimization solution of the present disclosure, a constant capacity test is performed using a current with a charge and discharge rate less than a preset rate.

[0007] As a further optimization solution of the present disclosure, when the cumulative test time is greater than a preset duration or the number of test cycles is greater than a preset number, the constant volume test needs to be performed again.

[0008] As a further optimization scheme of the present disclosure, the capacity cut-off method is used to adjust the SOC state of the battery; before each adjustment of the SOC state of the battery, the battery is placed in a set constant temperature environment for a corresponding preset time according to different temperature test conditions until it reaches a thermal equilibrium state.

[0012] The SOC state adjustment module uses a capacity cutoff method to adjust the SOC state of the battery; before each adjustment of the SOC state of the battery, the battery is placed in a set constant temperature environment for a corresponding preset time according to different temperature test conditions until it reaches a thermal equilibrium state.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the method in an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 2 is a specific flowchart of the method in an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 3 is a block diagram of the system structure in an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 4 is a block diagram of the device structure in an embodiment of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0017] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0018] As Figure 1 shown, a method for improving the accuracy of battery open-circuit voltage testing includes the following steps: S1. Obtain the capacity of the battery through constant-volume testing of the battery in a fresh state (only after the initial process and without actual use), including: Cell pre-treatment and constant-volume testing require obtaining the fresh-state cell and performing constant-volume testing using a low-rate current with a charge-discharge rate less than 0.5C to eliminate the influence of cell polarization and determine the actual capacity of the cell, providing an accurate data basis for subsequent SOC state adjustment.

[0019] S2. Under a set constant-temperature environment, adjust the SOC state of the battery based on the capacity obtained from the constant-volume testing, and ensure that the battery returns to the set constant temperature before each adjustment, including: The SOC adjustment requires adjusting the SOC state of the battery using the capacity cut-off method based on the constant-volume testing results in a 25°C constant-temperature environment. Before each SOC state adjustment, the battery needs to be left at 25°C until it reaches thermal equilibrium to ensure that it returns to 25°C before each adjustment. Before adjusting the SOC state using the capacity cut-off, the requirements are: For low-temperature test conditions (≤0°C), it needs to be left at 25°C for >8 hours; For high-temperature test conditions (>25°C), it needs to be left at 25°C for >4 hours; For normal-temperature test conditions (0°C < Ttest < 25°C), it needs to be left at 25°C for >6 hours.

[0020] The constant volume capacity needs to be calibrated during the test. When the cumulative experimental time is greater than 72 hours or the number of test cycles is greater than 3 times, the capacity needs to be recalibrated to ensure that the test accuracy meets the requirements.

[0021] S3. For each set state of battery SOC, measure the OCV value under different set temperature conditions to obtain SOC-OCV data under different temperature conditions, including: For each set SOC state, OCV value measurement is performed under corresponding temperature conditions. According to the voltage platform characteristics of lithium iron phosphate batteries, SOC test points are reasonably set, including but not limited to the following 35 key SOC states: 100%, 99%, 98%, 95%, 85%, 75%, 65%, 63%, 61%, 59%, 57%, 55%, 45%, 35%, 30%, 28%, 26%, 24%, 22%, 20%, 18%, 16%, 14%, 12%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0%.

[0022] Output SOC-OCV correspondence data under different temperature conditions to establish a complete battery characteristic curve, providing an accurate reference for SOC estimation of the battery management system (BMS).

[0023] In this embodiment, it specifically includes: The following are explanations of several key terms involved: ① In this test specification, for all lithium iron phosphate cells (square and cylindrical cells), the charge and discharge test voltage range is 2.5 (2.0) ~ 3.65V (T>0℃, discharge to 2.5V; T≤0℃, discharge to 2.0V) or the voltage range specified by the R&D personnel; ②Vmin: discharge cut-off voltage, 2.5V (T>0℃), 2.0V (T≤0℃); ③Vmax: charging cut-off voltage, 3.65V; ④C0: Test battery fixed capacity; ⑤X%SOC: Target SOC state of the measured OCV, X interval range is [0,100].

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the following are the specific implementation steps of this method: 1. Test the capacity of the battery cell at 25 degrees: ① Under a 25°C environment, connect all fresh single batteries to the test cabinet according to their positive and negative terminals and let them stand for 30 minutes; ②Discharge at 1 / 3C constant current to Vmin, let it stand for 30 minutes; charge at 1 / 3C constant current to Vmax, constant voltage cutoff current 0.05C, let it stand for 30 minutes; repeat this charge and discharge test method three times, and record the third discharge capacity C0.

[0025] 2. Adjust the battery SOC status at 25 degrees: ①100% SOC adjustment: At 25°C, charge the above-mentioned fixed-capacity battery cell at 1 / 3C constant current to Vmax (or the standard charging current specified by the R&D personnel), with a constant voltage cutoff current of 0.05C, and leave it for 1 hour; ②99% SOC adjustment: a. Place the cells tested at different temperatures (not 25 degrees) at 25 degrees Celsius for a certain period of time to reach thermal equilibrium (high temperature shelf time > 4 hours, low temperature shelf time > 6 / 8 hours); b. 1 / 3C constant current discharge to Vmin, and let it stand for 30 minutes; c. Charge to Vmax with a constant current of 1 / 3C, set the cut-off current to 0.05C, and let it stand for 30 minutes; d. 1 / 3C constant current discharge 1% SOC (i.e. 1% C0), let it stand for 30 minutes; ③Other SOC status adjustments: a. Place the cells tested under different temperature conditions at 25°C for more than 6 hours to reach thermal equilibrium; b. 1 / 3C constant current discharge to Vmin, and let it stand for 30 minutes; c. Charge to Vmax with a constant current of 1 / 3C, set the cut-off current to 0.05C, and let it stand for 30 minutes; d. 1 / 3C constant current discharge (100%-X%) SOC (i.e. (100%-X%) C0, current step X% corresponds to 2% SOC→100% SOC), and let it stand for 30 minutes; When testing under the same temperature conditions, the two batteries under test are required to be adjusted from a high SOC state to a low SOC state in sequence, 100% SOC → 0% SOC; if the cumulative test time is ≥ 3 days from the last capacity calibration time, the battery capacity must be re-calibrated, and the SOC state of the battery to be tested shall be adjusted according to the latest calibrated capacity.

[0026] 3. OCV test under different temperature conditions: ① Connect the two batteries after SOC adjustment to the test cabinet according to the positive and negative terminals, and place them at the test temperature (25℃ / +45℃ / +10℃ / 0℃ / -10℃ / -20℃ / -30℃) for 10 hours to ensure that the batteries reach thermal equilibrium at the test temperature before testing; ②After the test conditions are met, conduct OCV test and record; 4. Output SOC-OCV data under different temperature conditions.
