Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of battery detection, and particularly relates to an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement method for an energy storage battery. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium ion batteries are widely used in vehicles and consumer electronic products due to their high specific energy, environmental protection, and no memory effect. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) can reflect the dynamic characteristics of the complex physical and electrochemical processes of the battery. Processes such as passivation film growth, electrolyte degradation, and lithium dendrite growth, which are closely related to the life and safety, can be reflected in EIS. Therefore, EIS is reported to be used for SOH estimation, temperature estimation, and lithium precipitation diagnosis. In the traditional case, EIS is mainly used in the laboratory, for example, integrating this function in an electrochemical workstation, using multiple single-frequency sinusoidal signals to excite the battery to obtain the impedance at each frequency. Although this measurement method has high accuracy, the measurement time is relatively long. At the same time, vehicle-mounted applications also require real-time and rapid acquisition of EIS for control. Therefore, improving the EIS measurement speed has become a key problem.

[0003] CN109459465B discloses an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement method based on M sequence. However, this method has the following disadvantages: (1) the low-frequency spectrum in the M sequence is relatively sparse, and it is difficult to customize the target frequency in actual measurement; (2) the M sequence has a serious high-frequency attenuation problem, and a considerable amount of excitation energy is distributed at frequency points that are not of interest, which reduces the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurement and thus the EIS measurement accuracy. CN117872191A discloses an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement method based on multiple sinusoidal signals. However, this method only optimizes the amplitude of the superimposed sinusoidal signal and does not solve the problem of excessively high peak value and long measurement time of the multiple sinusoidal signals under certain conditions.

[0004] Therefore, the prior art still lacks a fast and high-precision electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement scheme. SUMMARY

[0055] That is, the maximum relative error err between the modified frequency and the original frequency. max Calculate as shown in equation (2). Calculate different err based on different f0 values. max The fundamental frequency is selected as f0 when the maximum relative error is smaller.

[0056] Step 2, set the frequency f i The corresponding amplitude A i Optimized to A i′ This makes different frequencies f i The amplitude of the response voltage signal of the energy storage battery under test is V. Where V is 10mV.

[0061] The variation of the battery's impedance mode with frequency was obtained by measuring it using pre-experimental methods such as DCR with an electrochemical workstation.

[0062] Step 3: Determine the sampling frequency f based on frequency Ω2. s1 With sampling frequency f s1 The current excitation in step 1A is sampled to obtain a discrete multi-sine composite signal sequence. Then, based on the multi-sine composite signal sequence and A... i Phase iteration optimization is performed on the current excitation in step 1A to reduce the peak value.

Next, the peak current I of the multisine synthesized signal is replaced in the time domain using the logarithmic clipping function in equation (5). peak Then, the corrected multi-sine composite signal is calculated using Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to obtain the new phase φ. i This phase solution corresponds to a multi-sine composite signal with a lower peak value. The algorithm uses a new φ. i And the original A i Repeat the process from IDFT to DFT until the number of iterations k. times Increase to the specified number of iterations.
