[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. The described technical solutions are only used to explain and describe the idea of the application, and should not be regarded as a limitation on the protection scope of the application.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 The embodiments of the application provide a battery pulse current heating method in a low-temperature environment. The battery includes a first battery group and a second battery group, and the low-temperature performance of the first battery group is higher than that of the second battery group. Preferably, the first battery group is a sodium ion battery with a capacity retention rate ≥80% at-30℃, and the second battery group is a lithium ion battery with a capacity retention rate ≤80% at-30℃. Preferably, the first battery group is a sodium ion battery, which has the characteristics of maintaining a high capacity and fast charging capability at low temperature. The second battery group is a lithium ion battery, which usually has a significant performance decline below-20℃.

[0035] Specifically, the battery pulse current heating method in a low-temperature environment includes:

[0036] S10, providing an initial pulse current to the second battery pack based on an initial pulse duty ratio of the first battery pack at a set ambient temperature to heat the second battery pack.

[0037] Specifically, the first battery pack and the second battery pack are connected through a control circuit, which includes a switching element for generating and controlling the pulse current from the first battery pack to the second battery pack. The circuit design allows the first battery pack to act as the main power source at low temperature environment, providing pulse current to the second battery pack while generating heat through its internal resistance.

[0038] The low-temperature battery pulse current heating method provided in the application uses a first battery pack (such as a sodium ion battery) with excellent low-temperature performance as a pulse source to directly heat the internal resistance of a second battery pack (such as a lithium ion battery), with a short energy utilization path and high efficiency. By optimizing the algorithm to precisely control the pulse parameters, a very high heating efficiency is achieved. This greatly improves the range and starting speed of electric vehicles in low-temperature environments.

[0039] S20, based on a preset second-order equivalent circuit model, determining the internal resistance of the first battery pack and the second battery pack at the current state, respectively, and calculating the heat generated when the initial pulse current flows through the internal resistance of the first battery pack and the second battery pack according to Joule's law, the second-order equivalent circuit model is used to simulate the electrical behavior of the first battery pack and the second battery pack.

[0040] Specifically, the heating process is based on Joule heating principle. When the first battery pack provides pulse current to the second battery pack, heat is generated when the current flows through the internal resistance of the first battery pack and the second battery pack, resulting in temperature rise. The intermittent nature of the pulse current (compared to continuous current) can reduce the risk of battery overheating, improve heating uniformity and reduce the impact on battery life.

[0041] Specifically, a second-order equivalent circuit model is established to simulate the electrical behavior of the first battery pack and the second battery pack.

[0042] As shown in Figure 2 The second-order equivalent circuit model includes an open circuit voltage source (OCV), a series resistance (R0, representing ohmic resistance), and two RC parallel branches (R1C1 and R2C2, representing electrochemical polarization and concentration polarization).

[0043] In the embodiments of the application, the heating method further comprises establishing a second-order equivalent circuit model.

[0044] The step of establishing a second-order equivalent circuit model specifically comprises:

[0045] S201, apply a preset pulse current excitation to the battery through a mixed pulse power characteristic test, and synchronously collect voltage response data and current data at a preset temperature.

[0046] S202, based on the voltage response data and the current data, obtain open-circuit voltage measurement values of the battery at different states of charge, and establish a mapping function relationship between the state of charge and the open-circuit voltage measurement values by using a polynomial fitting method. Figure 3 to obtain a relationship curve between the state of charge and the open-circuit voltage measurement values of the battery.

[0047] S203, identify a parameter set of a second-order equivalent circuit model with the current data as input and the voltage response data as expected output.

[0048] S204, configure the identified parameter set in the second-order equivalent circuit model, and perform simulation based on the preset pulse current to obtain end voltage simulation data and state of charge simulation data of the battery.

[0049] S205, calculate an open-circuit voltage simulation value of the battery according to the state of charge simulation data and the mapping function relationship, and establish a simulation relationship curve between the open-circuit voltage simulation value and the corresponding state of charge simulation value in the state of charge simulation data.

[0050] Figure 4 The simulation effect of the change of the open-circuit voltage of the battery with time is shown.

[0051] S206, compare the simulation relationship curve with the mapping function relationship to determine whether the consistency of the two reaches a preset accuracy standard, so as to verify the accuracy of the second-order equivalent circuit model.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, the heating method further includes the following steps:

[0053] Based on the second-order equivalent circuit model, the end voltage and / or the state of charge of the first battery pack and the second battery pack are monitored in real time.

[0054] If the end voltage of any one of the first battery pack and the second battery pack exceeds a safe working window or the state of charge is lower than a preset threshold, the provision of the initial pulse current is interrupted.

[0055] Conventional self-heating or external heating can cause a large temperature difference (usually >8℃) inside and between the batteries, accelerating battery aging and bringing the risk of thermal runaway. The battery pulse current heating method in a low temperature environment provided in the application ensures temperature uniformity during heating by optimizing the intermittent characteristics (pulse duty ratio) of the pulse current and the dual-core synergistic heat generation mechanism. The measured data shows that the maximum temperature difference between the dual-core batteries can be controlled within 3℃, and the temperature difference inside the battery monomer is less than 5℃. Excellent temperature uniformity effectively avoids local overheating and lithium precipitation, greatly prolongs the cycle life of the battery system, and fundamentally improves the safety of the low-temperature heating process.

[0056] S30, input the calculated heat into a preset lumped parameter thermal model to establish a curve of temperature change of the battery over time, the lumped parameter thermal model being used to simulate thermal behaviors of the first battery pack and the second battery pack.

[0057] Specifically, a lumped parameter thermal model is established to simulate thermal behaviors of the first battery pack and the second battery pack.

[0058] In the embodiments of the application, the lumped parameter thermal model regards the battery as a thermal mass, and mainly considers the following factors: heat generated by Joule heating, heat transfer between the battery and the environment (through convective heat exchange), and the heat capacity and thermal conductivity of the battery.

[0059] In the embodiments of the application, the expression of the lumped parameter thermal model is:

[0060] ,

[0061] wherein, is a battery mass of the battery, is a specific heat capacity, is a temperature rise rate, is a pulse duty ratio, is a pulse current amplitude, is an internal resistance of the battery, is a temperature of the battery, is a convective heat exchange coefficient, is a surface area of the battery, is an ambient temperature.

[0062] S40, taking the pulse current amplitude and the pulse duty ratio as optimization variables, and taking the time required for the first battery pack and the second battery pack to reach their optimal working temperatures as the target, the lumped parameter thermal model and the second-order equivalent circuit model are rolling optimized to minimize the target, and the optimal target pulse current and the optimal target pulse duty ratio are determined to heat the battery based on the target pulse current and the target pulse duty ratio in a low temperature environment.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, an optimization algorithm such as particle swarm optimization (PSO) or genetic algorithm (GA) is used to search for the optimal pulse parameters (pulse current amplitude I and pulse duty cycle D).

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, the steps of rolling optimization of the lumped parameter thermal model and the second-order equivalent circuit model to determine the optimal target pulse current and target pulse duty cycle include:

[0065] S401, set a pulse parameter set, the pulse parameter set including a plurality of pulse current amplitudes and a plurality of pulse duty cycles.

[0066] S402, input any pulse current amplitude and any pulse duty cycle in the pulse parameter set into the electro-thermal coupling model composed of the lumped parameter thermal model and the second-order equivalent circuit model, simulate to obtain the predicted temperature rise curves of the first battery pack and the second battery pack, and calculate the time required for the first battery pack and the second battery pack to reach their optimal working temperatures according to the predicted temperature rise curves, and the total energy consumption of the battery during the heating period.

[0067] By optimizing the amplitude of the pulse current and the pulse duty cycle, and heating the battery based on the target pulse current and the target pulse duty cycle in a low temperature environment, the temperature of the first battery pack and the second battery pack can be raised to their respective optimal working ranges in the shortest time.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, the optimal working temperature of the first battery pack and the optimal working temperature of the second battery pack are both in the range of 15℃ to 35℃. Specifically, the optimal working temperature of the first battery pack and the optimal working temperature of the second battery pack include 15℃, 16℃, 17℃, 18℃, 19℃, 20℃, 21℃, 22℃, 23℃, 24℃, 25℃, 26℃, 27℃, 28℃, 29℃, 30℃, 31℃, 32℃, 33℃, 34℃, 35℃. Preferably, the optimal working temperature of the second battery pack is 25℃.

[0069] In the embodiments of the present application, the amplitude of the pulse current is in the range of 0 to 5 times the rated capacity of the battery. Specifically, the amplitude of the pulse current includes 0 times the rated capacity of the battery, 1 times the rated capacity of the battery, 2 times the rated capacity of the battery, 3 times the rated capacity of the battery, 4 times the rated capacity of the battery, and 5 times the rated capacity of the battery. For example, for a battery with a capacity of 100 Ah, 1C corresponds to a pulse current of 100 A. Then, 5C corresponds to a pulse current of 500 A.

[0070] In embodiments of the present application, the state of charge of the first battery pack and the second battery pack are both in the range of 10% to 90% of their rated capacity. Specifically, the state of charge of the first battery pack and the second battery pack are both at 10% of their rated capacity, 20% of their rated capacity, 30% of their rated capacity, 40% of their rated capacity, 50% of their rated capacity, 60% of their rated capacity, 70% of their rated capacity, 80% of their rated capacity, or 90% of their rated capacity.

[0071] In embodiments of the present application, the time required for the first battery pack and the second battery pack to reach their optimal operating temperature is expressed as:

[0072] ,

[0073] is the time required for the first battery pack and the second battery pack to reach their optimal operating temperature, is the pulse current amplitude, is the pulse duty cycle, is the time for the first battery pack to reach the optimal operating temperature, is the time for the second battery pack to reach the optimal operating temperature.

[0074] In embodiments of the present application, the time required for the first battery pack and the second battery pack to reach their optimal operating temperature is minimized. The constraints of the objective function include the maximum allowed temperature, the maximum pulse current, and the battery state of charge.

[0075] The total energy consumption is expressed as:

[0079] S403, according to the time required for the first battery pack and the second battery pack to reach their optimal operating temperature and the total energy consumption, calculate the fitness function value.

[0080] The expression of the fitness function value is:

[0082] wherein, is the pulse current amplitude, is the pulse duty cycle, is the time required for both the first battery pack and the second battery pack to reach their optimal working temperatures, is the total energy consumption, are the weights of the balance and respectively.

[0083] S404, according to the fitness function value and whether the safety constraints of the battery voltage and the state of charge are met, a new combination of the pulse current amplitude and the pulse duty cycle is continuously generated by the optimization algorithm until the improvement amount of the fitness function value is less than a preset threshold or the maximum number of iterations is reached, and the finally obtained pulse current amplitude and pulse duty cycle are determined as the target pulse current and the target pulse duty cycle.
