Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of supercapacitor technology, and in particular to a method, system, and storage medium for measuring parameters of a double-layer supercapacitor. Background Technology

[0002] Electric double-layer supercapacitors (EDLCs) are a type of highly efficient energy storage device, widely used in new energy, electric vehicles, smart grids, and industrial energy storage due to their high power density, long cycle life, and fast charge and discharge characteristics. Internal resistance, as one of the core parameters of their performance, directly affects energy conversion efficiency, thermal management, and system reliability. Internal resistance not only leads to energy loss and irreversible heating, but also affects the actual working efficiency and lifespan of supercapacitors.

[0003] Currently, the industry commonly uses internal resistance testing methods based on electrical response, mainly including voltage drop methods (such as DC internal resistance testing) and voltage bounce methods (such as pulse testing). These methods estimate the internal resistance value by measuring the instantaneous change or relaxation behavior of the voltage during charging and discharging. However, the test results of these methods are heavily dependent on the selected voltage range and sampling time, resulting in poor data repeatability and low comparability. In addition, traditional methods have difficulty distinguishing between irreversible heating caused by internal resistance and reversible heating caused by entropy change in the ion system. In practical applications, the heating of supercapacitors consists of two parts: first, Joule heating caused by internal resistance, which is exothermic during both charging and discharging; and second, a reversible thermal effect caused by the change in entropy of ions in the electrolyte under the influence of an electric field—heat is released during charging due to the increased orderliness of ion arrangement and the decrease in entropy, while heat is absorbed during discharging. This reversible thermal effect has a significant impact on temperature changes, but it cannot be isolated and quantified solely by voltage signals. Therefore, existing technologies can only provide apparent internal resistance values, which are insufficient to accurately reflect the true internal resistance characteristics and make it even more difficult to assess the actual contribution of reversible thermal behavior to the system temperature rise. This poses challenges to the thermal management design, condition assessment, and performance optimization of supercapacitors. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method, system, and storage medium for measuring the parameters of a double-layer supercapacitor, in order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art: the prior art can only provide the apparent internal resistance value, which is difficult to accurately reflect the true internal resistance characteristics, and even more difficult to assess the actual contribution of reversible thermal behavior to the temperature rise of the system.

[0010] Based on the sum of the first temperature change value and the second temperature change value, the heat capacity parameter, and the charge / discharge time, the reversible heating power of the supercapacitor ion system is calculated.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the charge-discharge test cycle includes the following steps in sequence:

[0014] After the constant current discharge stage, allow the mixture to stand for a second preset time.

[0015] Perform the constant current charging phase until the voltage rises back to the upper limit voltage, and record the charging time;

[0016] After the constant current charging phase, the device is left to stand for a third preset time.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the discharge time is equal to the charging time.

[0018] In one possible implementation, during the test cycle, the voltage, current, and casing temperature data of the supercapacitor are recorded synchronously, with a data recording time interval of no more than 0.1 seconds.

[0019] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this disclosure, a measurement system for parameters of a double-layer supercapacitor is provided. The system is used to implement a method for measuring parameters of a double-layer supercapacitor as described in any possible implementation. The system includes:

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for measuring parameters of a double-layer supercapacitor according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0040] In step S100, a charge-discharge test cycle is performed on the double-layer supercapacitor in a controlled heat exchange environment. The charge-discharge test cycle includes a constant-current discharge stage and a constant-current charging stage, with the current amplitude in the constant-current discharge stage being equal to that in the constant-current charging stage. Specifically, to ensure the stability of the ambient temperature during the test and to avoid the influence of external temperature fluctuations on the temperature change of the supercapacitor, the double-layer supercapacitor under test needs to be placed in a heat-controlled environment. Preferably, this environment is an adiabatic or constant-temperature environment, such as a high-performance adiabatic enclosure filled with highly efficient adiabatic materials such as ultrafine glass fiber or vacuum insulation panels, with a thermal conductivity preferably lower than [value missing]. To minimize convective, conductive, and radiative heat exchange between the supercapacitor under test and the external environment, the supercapacitor is fixed inside the insulated cavity, ensuring it is not in direct contact with the inner wall of the cavity.

[0041] As another optional embodiment, the controlled heat exchange environment can also be achieved using a high-precision constant temperature chamber, which can stabilize the internal ambient temperature at a set value, and its temperature control accuracy is preferably superior to that of a high-precision constant temperature chamber. More preferably superior to This provides a known and stable thermodynamic boundary condition.

[0042] During the constant current discharge phase, the supercapacitor is discharged with a constant current value until the preset discharge cutoff voltage is reached. During the constant current charging phase, the supercapacitor is charged with the same constant current value until the preset charging cutoff voltage is reached. It should be noted that, in order to ensure the accuracy of the thermal effect separation calculation, the current amplitude used in the constant current discharge phase and the constant current charging phase must be equal, and the selection of this current amplitude must take into account the rated capacity of the supercapacitor.

[0043] In step S200, the first temperature change value of the supercapacitor casing during the constant current discharge stage and the second temperature change value of the supercapacitor casing during the constant current charging stage are obtained. Specifically, before performing the above test cycle, a temperature sensing element, such as a high-precision thin-film platinum resistance temperature sensor, can be tightly attached to the surface of the supercapacitor casing, ensuring good thermal contact. This temperature sensor is connected to the data acquisition system, and the sampling frequency is not less than [missing information]. It is used to monitor and record changes in the shell temperature in real time.

[0044] During the constant current discharge phase, irreversible Joule heating and reversible entropy change heat occur inside the supercapacitor, causing a change in the shell temperature. The start and end times of this discharge phase are recorded, and the temperature change data of the supercapacitor shell during this phase are recorded simultaneously to obtain the first temperature change value. During the constant current charging phase, irreversible Joule heating and reversible entropy change heat also occur inside the supercapacitor, causing a change in the shell temperature. The start and end times of this charging phase are recorded, and the temperature change data of the supercapacitor shell during this phase are recorded simultaneously to obtain the second temperature change value.

[0045] Please see Figure 4 This is a typical charge / discharge time-temperature curve of a double-layer supercapacitor. The graph clearly records the temperature change of the supercapacitor casing during a complete charge / discharge test cycle. Specifically, in the graph: the Y-axis represents the temperature change value in Kelvin, with 0 representing the temperature reference point at the start of the test; the X-axis represents time in minutes; and the curve represents the temperature change of the supercapacitor casing relative to the initial temperature.

[0046] from Figure 4 As can be seen from the graph, during the discharge phase, current flows out, ion movement becomes disordered (entropy increases), and heat is absorbed. This endothermic effect exceeds the Joule heating generated by the internal resistance, causing the shell temperature to drop. The curve in the graph shows a significant negative peak, the amplitude of which is the first temperature change value mentioned above. During the charging phase, current flows in, ion movement becomes ordered (entropy decreases), and heat is released. At the same time, the internal resistance also generates Joule heating. The superposition of these two exothermic effects causes the shell temperature to rise. The curve in the graph shows a significant positive peak, the amplitude of which is the second temperature change value mentioned above.

[0047] Through the above-mentioned charge-discharge test cycle with symmetrical current amplitude performed under strict heat exchange environment, high signal-to-noise ratio temperature change data that truly reflects the internal heat generation behavior of the supercapacitor can be obtained, laying a reliable data foundation for subsequent accurate calculation of internal resistance.

[0048] In step S300, the internal resistance of the supercapacitor is calculated based on the first temperature change value, the second temperature change value, the thermal capacity parameter of the supercapacitor, the current value, and the charging and discharging time.

[0049] In symmetrical constant current charge-discharge tests, the irreversible Joule heating effect caused by internal resistance is the same during the charge-discharge phase, while the reversible thermal effect caused by the entropy change of the ion system is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign during the charge-discharge phase. This characteristic allows the two to be accurately separated and the internal resistance to be solved by solving a simple thermal balance equation.

[0050] Specifically, the calculation process is implemented according to the following steps:

[0051] First, obtain the basic data obtained from the aforementioned testing steps:

[0052] The first temperature change value measured during the constant current discharge stage (unit: This value is usually negative, indicating a decrease in the casing temperature;

[0053] The second temperature change value measured during the constant current charging phase (unit: This value is usually positive, indicating that the casing temperature is rising;

[0054] The absolute value of the current applied during the constant current discharge and charging phases (unit: );

[0055] The constant current discharge time With constant current charging time To achieve accurate calculations, the discharge time should be equal to the charging time, i.e. (unit: ).

[0056] Secondly, the heat capacity parameter of the supercapacitor is determined. This parameter is the overall heat capacity of the supercapacitor, characterizing the amount of heat it needs to absorb to increase its temperature by 1 Kelvin. In practice, this heat capacity parameter can be determined by the mass of the supercapacitor. and its specific heat capacity The product of is obtained, that is (unit: )

[0057] The specific heat capacity The mass can be obtained by performing differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests on samples of the same type and material, or by estimating using known specific heat capacities of common materials. This represents the measured mass of the supercapacitor.

[0058] Then, the heat balance equation for the charging and discharging process is established:

[0059] During the constant current discharge phase, the ion system absorbs heat due to entropy increase, while Joule heating is generated due to internal resistance. The heat balance relationship is as follows:

[0060]

[0061] in, This is the heat absorbed due to the entropy change of the ion system (i.e., the absolute value of the reversible heat effect). This is the Joule heat generated by internal resistance.

[0062] During the constant current charging phase, the ion system releases heat as its entropy decreases, while Joule heating is also generated due to internal resistance. The heat balance relationship is as follows:

[0063]

[0064] Simultaneous equations sum equation Adding the two equations together will eliminate the difference. Item, obtained:

[0065]

[0066] Equivalence By performing the transformation, the internal resistance of the supercapacitor can be obtained. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0067]

[0068] Finally, the first temperature change value Second temperature change value Specific heat capacity ,quality Current value and time Substituting into the above calculation formula, the internal resistance value of the supercapacitor can be directly calculated. .

[0069] By conducting symmetrical constant-current charge-discharge tests on supercapacitors in a controlled heat exchange environment, interference from external environmental fluctuations on temperature measurements is effectively isolated, providing a crucial guarantee for obtaining pure and reliable data on casing temperature changes. Based on this, by real-time monitoring of the second temperature change during the charging phase and the first temperature change during the discharging phase of the charge-discharge cycle, and combining this with known heat capacity parameters, current values, and time parameters, the irreversible heating caused by internal resistance and the reversible heating caused by entropy changes in the ion system can be accurately separated, thereby accurately calculating the internal resistance value of the supercapacitor. This method fundamentally overcomes the shortcomings of traditional voltage drop or voltage bounce methods, which suffer from inconsistent measurement results and poor repeatability due to the influence of the test voltage range and relaxation time. It not only significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of internal resistance measurement and achieves precise analysis of the thermal behavior of supercapacitors, but also provides a pioneering technical means for quantitatively evaluating their reversible thermal effects, possessing significant engineering application value for product thermal management design, condition assessment, and life prediction.

[0070] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, the method further includes:

[0072] Based on the sum of the first and second temperature changes, the heat capacity parameter, and the charge / discharge time, the reversible heating power of the supercapacitor ion system is calculated. Specifically, firstly, the data obtained from the test cycle in step S100 is acquired:

[0073] The first temperature change value measured during the constant current discharge phase (unit: This value is usually negative, indicating a decrease in the casing temperature;

[0074] The second temperature change value measured during the constant current charging phase (unit: This value is usually positive, indicating that the casing temperature is rising;

[0075] Duration of the constant current discharge and charge phase (unit: ),and (unit: ).

[0076] Next, the heat capacity parameter of the supercapacitor is obtained. This parameter represents the overall heat capacity of the supercapacitor. (unit: Preferably, the heat capacity... Through the mass of the supercapacitor and the specific heat capacity of its material The product is determined, that is The specific heat capacity The mass can be determined in advance by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) or by using empirical values; This represents the measured mass of the supercapacitor.

[0077] The calculation of the reversible heating power is based on the following principle: in the symmetrical charge-discharge test, the reversible thermal effect caused by the entropy change of the ion system. The absolute value of is equal during the charging phase (heat release) and the discharging phase (heat absorption), according to the aforementioned heat balance equations. and :

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] Equation With equation Adding them together can eliminate the internal resistance Joule heating term. ,get:

[0081]

[0082] Therefore, the reversible thermal effect The calculation formula is:

[0083]

[0084] Subsequently, the reversible heating power of the ion system (unit: The reversible thermal effect is defined as the average power of the reversible thermal effect over a complete charge-discharge cycle; since the reversible thermal effect occurs during the charging period... and discharge period All of these events occur within the time frame, and their total duration of action can be considered as... Therefore, the reversible heating power By utilizing reversible thermal effects Divide by total time The calculation yielded:

[0085]

[0086] Finally, the first temperature change value Second temperature change value Heat capacity parameters (i.e.) ), and charge / discharge time Substituting into the above calculation formula, the reversible heating power of the supercapacitor ion system can be calculated. The reversible heating power It is a key parameter for evaluating the thermal behavior of supercapacitors, providing a precise data basis for the design of thermal management systems for practical applications.

[0087] In an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 2 The charge-discharge test cycle includes the following steps in sequence:

[0088] In step S110, the supercapacitor is charged to an upper limit voltage and held at a constant voltage for a first preset time. The upper limit voltage is preferably the rated voltage of the supercapacitor. The first preset time is set to ensure that the supercapacitor is fully charged and the internal ion distribution reaches a stable state. Its range is usually 1 minute to 10 minutes, preferably 5 minutes. This step provides a stable and repeatable initial state for the subsequent constant current discharge.

[0089] In step S120, the constant current discharge stage is performed until the voltage drops to a lower limit voltage, and the discharge time is recorded. The lower limit voltage and the upper limit voltage together define the voltage window for testing. This window is usually selected within the linear operating region of the supercapacitor. For example, the lower limit voltage can be 0.6 times the upper limit voltage. The amplitude of the discharge current is selected according to the rated capacity of the supercapacitor, usually from 0.5C to 5C.

[0090] In step S130, after the constant current discharge stage, the supercapacitor is allowed to stand for a second preset time. This standing stage allows the ion concentration gradient inside the supercapacitor to relax naturally to a certain extent and makes the temperature distribution of its shell more uniform, providing a clearer starting point for subsequent temperature data analysis. The second preset time must ensure that thermal equilibrium is reached, and its range is usually 30 seconds to 10 minutes, preferably 200 seconds.

[0091] In step S140, the constant current charging phase is performed until the voltage rises back to the upper limit voltage, and the charging time is recorded. To ensure the accuracy of subsequent calculations, the charging time should be equal to the discharging time, that is, the accuracy of the charging and discharging current and the consistency of the voltage threshold should be controlled.

[0092] In step S150, the device is left to rest for a third preset time after the constant current charging phase. This resting phase serves a similar purpose to step S130, allowing the device to reach a new thermal equilibrium state after charging is complete, so that subsequent test cycles can be performed if needed. The third preset time may be the same as or different from the second preset time, and its range is typically from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, preferably 200 seconds.

[0093] It should be noted that during the test cycle, the voltage, current, and casing temperature data of the supercapacitor are recorded simultaneously, with a data recording time interval of no more than 0.1 seconds. Throughout the entire test cycle, the temperature change of the supercapacitor casing, terminal voltage, and current data must be continuously monitored and recorded. The data recording sampling interval should be sufficiently high, for example, no more than 0.1 seconds, to accurately capture the dynamic response process of voltage and temperature.
