Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power battery fault diagnosis technology, and relates to an adaptive SOC stability interval identification method based on voltage consistency standard deviation. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of electric vehicles, the performance and safety of power batteries, as their core components, have attracted much attention. State of charge (SCC) is a key parameter for measuring the remaining capacity of a battery, and its accuracy directly affects the effectiveness of battery management. Currently, existing power battery consistency analysis and fault diagnosis methods typically perform calculations directly within the full SCC range. However, there is a significant nonlinear relationship between the battery's open-circuit voltage and SCC. In the high and low SCC ranges, the slope of the open-circuit voltage-SCC curve is large. At this point, even small SCC measurement errors or dynamic fluctuations can cause significant voltage deviations, thus amplifying the apparent inconsistencies between cells. This spurious inconsistency further interferes with voltage-time-series-based algorithms, such as dynamic time warping and Z-score anomaly detection, leading to model misjudgments and false detections, severely reducing the stability and accuracy of fault identification.

[0003] On the other hand, the specific shape of the open-circuit voltage-charge-state curve is mainly determined by the chemical system of the battery cell, including the types of positive and negative electrode materials, reaction mechanisms, and polarization characteristics. The open-circuit voltage-charge-state curves corresponding to different chemical systems exhibit significant differences in the range of their flattened slope regions. Therefore, relying solely on manual experience to fixate on selecting a specific charge-state interval for data screening will lack universality across different chemical systems or diverse application scenarios, failing to guarantee the effectiveness of subsequent consistency evaluations or fault identification results.

[0004] Currently, most commonly used methods rely on manual experience to define the state-of-charge interval, lacking an interval selection mechanism that can adapt to data characteristics and has good generalization ability. This limitation severely restricts the promotion and application of intelligent diagnostic methods based on voltage consistency indices across vehicle models, systems, and real-world complex operating conditions.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical issues, existing technologies urgently need an algorithm that can automatically identify the state-of-charge range with the most stable voltage and optimal consistency based on actual battery operating data, in order to significantly improve the robustness and universality of battery consistency analysis and fault diagnosis methods. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide an adaptive SOC stability interval identification method based on voltage consistency standard deviation. This method automatically identifies the SOC interval with the most stable and consistent voltage changes among battery cells by statistically analyzing the dispersion of cell voltage under different SOCs, thereby providing a more stable input data interval for subsequent fault diagnosis or model training.

S4: Calculate the average of the smoothed scores, define a stability threshold, consider SOC bins below the threshold as stable intervals, and then merge the obtained stable intervals according to continuity to obtain several candidate stable intervals.

Figure 3 The DTW algorithm is applied to the original voltage data to obtain the individual unit voltage curves. Figure 4 The original data shows the voltage DTW distance curve. After adaptive SOC stability interval identification, the following is obtained: The curve is then smoothed using Savitzky-Golay filtering, and a stability threshold is defined here. Take 0.9, Figure 5 The average consistency score curve and the smoothed average consistency score curve for each SOC bin. Figure 6 To compare the SOC ranges before and after filtering, the SOC interval was determined to be (9, 49). The SOC was extracted from the original voltage data. Voltage data within the range are processed using the DTW algorithm. Figure 7 The voltage-to-displacement (DTW) distance curve of the data after obtaining data within a specified SOC range significantly suppresses local interference fluctuations caused by high and low SOCs in abnormal cells. Simultaneously, the abnormal increase in DTW distance at later time points is effectively highlighted, making the identification of abnormal cells more intuitive. Therefore, this invention can adaptively identify the most stable SOC operating range based on battery operating data, effectively suppressing the interference of nonlinear amplification effects in the high and low SOC ranges on consistency analysis. By performing feature extraction and fault diagnosis only within a stable SOC range, this invention can significantly improve the accuracy and stability of power battery consistency assessment and fault identification, thereby achieving high-precision, real-time health monitoring of electric vehicle power batteries and accurate location of abnormal cells.
