TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the field of lithium battery state early warning, in particular to a battery circuit single short circuit resistance fault identification method and terminal. BACKGROUND

[0003] In the lithium ion battery energy storage system, internal short circuit of the battery is the most representative serious fault, and is one of the important reasons leading to early failure of power and thermal runaway safety accidents of the system. The detection or prediction method of the internal short circuit of the battery has become a research focus in the field. The lithium battery has the possibility of thermal runaway in the whole life cycle of manufacturing, use and recycling. For the use link, such as overcharge, overdischarge and high temperature, etc. Unfavorable use conditions are more likely to cause irreversible impedance reduction originating from internal defects or battery materials, which is reflected as internal short circuit of the battery. Research shows that the initial stage of this process can last for a certain period of time, which is manifested as slow abnormal reduction of short circuit resistance; the middle stage is manifested as prominent unevenness of the battery and obvious abnormal heat generation; and the late stage is manifested as strong temperature rise and action of the fire alarm device.

[0004] Current researches on internal short circuit identification and early warning mainly include the following categories: (1) Electrochemical model method is to establish equations in the reaction processes of solid phase, liquid phase, interface and deintercalation of battery materials, so as to define the simulation of real battery reaction process, replace the commonly used OCV(SOC, T) curve to describe the battery working process, and especially estimate the impedance for equivalent internal short circuit circuit. When the actual working state of the battery deviates from the modeled working state, it is considered that the impedance reduction trend is generated. This kind of method needs to establish complex mathematical model to describe the electrochemical process, which is difficult to realize for lithium battery users other than research institutions. And the accurate use of the model needs to be calibrated with real data to adapt to different material systems, which is a long process and difficult to operate.

[0005] (2) The machine learning method based on data is essentially to analyze other battery data by using the trained fault diagnosis model. This method depends on a large number of test set data, especially the data generated after the internal short circuit until the thermal runaway occurs. This is not easy to obtain for lithium ion batteries, especially for iron lithium phosphate batteries, which emphasize safety, resulting in less data available for training model and reduced accuracy.

[0006] (3) Based on the state quantity collected by the monitoring system, the inconsistent change and abnormal mutation of the battery are analyzed by the parameter characteristic statistical calculation method, which does not need to establish an accurate model of the battery, and only needs to analyze the difference between the battery voltage and the temperature to realize the internal short circuit detection, but the accuracy of the statistical calculation depends on the sampling accuracy, and the consistency of the single battery in the battery pack and the initial state deviation directly affect the detection result.

[0015] To explain the technical content, the purposes and effects of the present application in detail, the following will be explained in combination with the embodiments and the drawings.

[0016] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A short-circuit identification and prediction method of a battery circuit, comprising the steps of: S1. For each battery single of a series lithium battery system, an equivalent circuit model containing a short-circuit equivalent resistance is established; S2. According to the circuit parameters of the equivalent circuit model, in each detection period, for each battery single, the first SOC data set is obtained by performing SOC estimation through the Kalman family algorithm, and the second SOC data set is obtained by performing SOC estimation through the ampere-hour integral method; S3. According to the first SOC data set and the second SOC data set, the short-circuit resistance data set is calculated; S4. According to the short-circuit resistance data set, the deviation between the short-circuit resistance of each battery single and the average short-circuit resistance is calculated, and whether the single short-circuit resistance is faulty is judged; S5, calculating the average heat generation power of each battery monomer according to the circuit parameters of the equivalent circuit model and the short-circuit resistance data set, obtaining the maximum heat dissipation power of the battery monomer, and predicting the time when the heat dissipation capacity limit of the system to each battery cell is reached.

[0017] From the above description, the beneficial effects of the present application are that: the short-circuit identification and prediction method of the battery circuit of the present application simplifies the calculation complexity by using circuit-level modeling, realizes the indirect calculation of the short-circuit resistance by combining Kalman filtering and ampere-hour integral method to estimate the SOC difference, and does not need to rely on complex electrochemical models or historical fault data; the capacity loss of the short-circuit current is directly reflected by the SOC difference, which provides a quantitative basis for short-circuit detection; at the same time, by combining heat generation prediction and heat dissipation capacity analysis, the thermal runaway risk can be warned in advance, and the detection delay problem caused by insufficient data or complex model in the traditional method can be solved.

[0018] Further, step S4 comprises the steps of: According to the short-circuit resistance data set, the short-circuit resistance of each battery monomer obtained in the current detection period is obtained, and the variance and mean value are calculated; According to the calculated variance and mean value, an adaptive alarm threshold is calculated; It is judged whether the short-circuit resistance of the monomer battery cell in the current detection exists or not, if yes, it is determined that the monomer battery cell has a fault.

[0019] From the above description, by calculating the mean value and variance of the short-circuit resistance to set the adaptive alarm threshold, the interference of system individual difference and sampling noise can be effectively filtered out. Compared with the fixed threshold method, the adaptive mechanism can dynamically adapt to the consistency change of the battery pack, reduce the false alarm probability, and improve the accuracy of fault detection. Combined with the sliding window detection strategy, the abnormal fluctuation of the short-circuit resistance can be captured in real time, and the response ability of the system to the gradual fault can be enhanced.

[0020] Further, the adaptive alarm threshold comprises a threshold lower limit; The threshold lower limit is calculated as follows: ; Wherein, And respectively represent the mean value and variance of the short-circuit resistance of each battery monomer obtained in the current detection period.

[0021] From the above description, it is clear that the lower threshold calculation formula (mean minus 3 times standard deviation) is established based on statistical principles to establish a scientific fault judgment standard. The threshold considers the resistance fluctuation range during normal operation and retains sufficient safety margin to ensure reliable alarm triggering when the short-circuit resistance decreases significantly. Compared with traditional empirical thresholds, it has stronger universality and robustness, especially for applications with high battery parameter dispersion.

[0022] Further, step S5 includes steps of: S51, for each detection period, calculating the average heat generation power of each monomer according to the circuit parameters of the equivalent circuit model and the short-circuit resistance data set; S52, calculating the maximum heat dissipation power of each battery monomer according to the total refrigeration power of the cooling system to the battery; S53, combining the average heat generation power calculated in the previous several detection periods to construct an average heat generation power data set for each battery monomer; S54, curve fitting the average heat generation power data set, and judging the number of detection periods required to reach the maximum heat dissipation power according to the fitting result, and predicting the time to reach the heat dissipation capacity limit of the system to each battery cell.

[0023] From the above description, by fitting the heat generation power data to predict the thermal runaway time, the hysteresis of traditional temperature monitoring is broken through. This method calculates the heat generation based on equivalent circuit parameters and short-circuit resistance in real time, and evaluates the cooling system capacity, which can predict the heat accumulation trend in advance. The prediction model considers the evolution law of historical heat generation data, reserves enough fault response time for the system, and significantly improves the safety and operation efficiency of the energy storage system.

[0024] Further, the average heat generation power is calculated as follows: ; wherein, and represent the q-order equivalent circuit parameters of battery monomer i, is the rated current of the battery, is the equivalent average short-circuit current of monomer i at time t in the current detection period, and are the sampling voltages of battery monomer i at the initial time and time t in the current detection period, respectively, represents the equivalent short-circuit resistance of battery monomer i from the initial time to time t in the current detection period.

[0025] As can be known from the above description, the heat generation power formula comprehensively considers the ohmic loss and short-circuit resistance loss of the equivalent circuit, and accurately quantifies the internal energy dissipation of the battery. Compared with the method relying only on external temperature measurement, the formula calculates through multi-parameter coupling, and more truly reflects the abnormal heat generation caused by internal short circuit. Especially in the early stage, when the temperature has not risen significantly, the potential risk can be identified through power analysis, and the early warning of failure is realized.

[0026] Further, the maximum heat dissipation power is calculated as follows: ; wherein, is the total refrigeration power of the cooling system to the battery, and m is the number of battery cells of the battery.

[0027] As can be known from the above description, the total refrigeration power of the system is evenly distributed to the single battery, and a standardized heat dissipation capacity evaluation model is established. This method simplifies the design complexity of the thermal management system, and ensures the safety evaluation of each single battery under the same heat dissipation condition. By directly comparing the heat generation and heat dissipation capacity, the battery with insufficient heat dissipation can be quickly located, and clear priority ranking basis is provided for heat runaway prevention.

[0028] Further, step S3 is specifically: According to the first SOC data set and the second SOC data set, the short-circuit resistance is calculated as follows: ; ; The short-circuit resistance of the i-th battery cell in the j-th detection period is denoted as , and a short-circuit resistance data set is constructed; wherein, represents the equivalent average short-circuit current of the battery cell i at time t in the current detection period, and respectively represent the sampling voltage of the battery cell i at the initial time and at time t in the current detection period, represents the capacity of the battery cell i at time t, represents the SOC value of the battery cell i at time t estimated by the ampere-hour integration method in the current detection period, represents the SOC value of the battery cell i at time t estimated by the Kalman filter algorithm in the current detection period.

[0029] As can be known from the above description, the short-circuit resistance calculation formula converts the non-directly measurable short-circuit current into a calculable parameter through the mathematical relationship between the SOC difference and the sampling time. Based on the capacity conservation principle, the formula quantifies the short-circuit current by using the SOC difference between the ampere-hour integration and the Kalman filter, avoiding the technical difficulty of directly measuring the high internal resistance short circuit.

[0030] Further, the estimation of the first SOC dataset comprises the steps of: constructing a discretized state equation according to the circuit parameters of the qth-order equivalent circuit of the battery cell: ; wherein, Q c represents the cell capacity, , , and represents the equivalent circuit resistance and capacitance at temperature T and state of charge SOC, SOC t 、U1 t , Uq t and SOC t+1 、U1 t+1 , Uq t+1 represents the SOC state and the equivalent capacitances C1 and Cq voltage state of the battery cell at time t and t+1 respectively, I t is the cell current at time t, T s is the calculation step, and W is the process noise; constructing a measurement equation for the cell: ; wherein, e t+1 represents the measured voltage at the output end of the cell at time t+1, U OCV is the obtained open circuit voltage of the cell, I t+1 is the cell current at time t+1, R 0_t+1 is the DC internal resistance of the cell at time t+1, and V is the measurement noise; using the UKF algorithm or the EKF algorithm to calculate the estimation value of at time t of the i-th of all m cells being evaluated, denoted as SOC i_t , and constituting a state of charge set to obtain the first dataset : .

[0031] ​From the above description, it can be seen that the Kalman filtering algorithm is used to process the state estimation problem of the nonlinear system, and the SOC estimation value is dynamically corrected through the state equation and the measurement equation. Compared with the traditional OCV curve method, this method can effectively suppress the influence of measurement noise and model error, and still maintain high precision under the condition of time-varying battery parameters (such as temperature, aging). Experiments show that the SOC estimation error can be controlled within 0.05%, which lays a reliable foundation for subsequent short-circuit resistance calculation.

[0032] Further, the estimation of the second SOC dataset comprises the steps of: The state of charge of all battery cells is estimated using the ampere-hour integration method: ; wherein, and are the state of charge of the battery cell i at time t-1 and the state of charge at the beginning of the detection period, respectively, is the charging or discharging efficiency of the battery cell i at time t, is the average charging or discharging current of the battery cell i from time t-1 to t, is the duration from time t-1 to t, is the rated capacity of the battery cell i; from the state of charge of the m battery cells, a second SOC dataset is obtained : ; wherein, at the beginning of the current detection period, the SOC calculated by the ampere-hour integration method and the SOC calculated using the Kalman family algorithm have the same initial value.

[0033] From the above description, it can be seen that the ampere-hour integration method synchronizes with the Kalman filtering result through the initial state alignment, eliminating the initial deviation of the SOC estimation. This design ensures that the SOC difference of the two methods truly reflects the capacity loss of the short-circuit current, avoiding misjudgment caused by initial error. Combined with dynamic charging and discharging efficiency compensation, the ampere-hour integration result is closer to the actual operating condition, enhancing the accuracy of short-circuit resistance calculation.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 4 , a terminal for short-circuit identification and prediction of a battery circuit, comprising a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements the steps of the above-mentioned method for short-circuit identification and prediction of a battery circuit when executing the computer program.

[0035] From the above description, the beneficial effects of the present application are that: the terminal for short circuit identification and prediction of a battery circuit of the present application simplifies the calculation complexity by using circuit level modeling, estimates the SOC difference by combining Kalman filtering and ampere-hour integration method, realizes indirect calculation of short circuit resistance, and does not need to rely on complex electrochemical model or historical fault data; the capacity loss of short circuit current is directly reflected by the SOC difference, which provides quantitative basis for short circuit detection; at the same time, in combination with heat production prediction and heat dissipation capacity analysis, the thermal runaway risk can be early warned, and the detection delay problem caused by insufficient data or complex model of the traditional method is solved.

[0036] The method and terminal for short circuit identification and prediction of a battery circuit of the present application are suitable for state detection and early warning of lithium batteries.
