The sodium ion battery pack functions to provide required electric energy for various devices and systems. Compared with a single sodium ion battery monomer, the battery pack can provide higher voltage and greater capacity to meet the power and energy requirements of power supply in different application scenarios. Since the sodium ion battery pack is composed of multiple sodium ion battery monomers, after the batteries in the battery pack are used for a period of time, due to the inconsistency in the battery manufacturing process, initial capacity and the like, the capacity difference between the batteries is caused after use. The inconsistency of the battery monomers causes more batteries to be unable to charge sufficient electric quantity or discharge sufficient capacity, so that the overall capacity is sharply reduced, thereby causing the effective service life of the battery pack to be seriously reduced, and the reliability and safety of the battery pack are greatly reduced in long-term operation. Therefore, it is necessary to equalize the capacity of each battery in the battery pack, so as to maintain the consistency of the entire battery pack and improve the service life of the battery.

[0015] According to the present invention, a sodium-ion battery pack balancing method and apparatus based on cell capacity correction is provided. Compared with the current method of balancing sodium-ion battery packs by dissipating the energy of excess cells in the pack through resistors, the present invention, in response to the capacity balancing signal of the target sodium-ion battery pack, determines the charging reference cell and the discharging reference cell among the individual cells of the target sodium-ion battery pack, and collects the voltage, current, temperature, and charge / discharge cycle count of each individual cell in the target sodium-ion battery pack in real time; and determines the actual usable capacity of the corresponding individual cell based on the voltage, current, temperature, and charge / discharge cycle count.

Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the physical structure of a computer device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation
[0017] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present application can be combined with each other.
[0018] Currently, in the capacity balancing process of sodium-ion battery packs, the energy of excess capacity cells in the sodium-ion battery pack is usually consumed by resistors. This method has low energy utilization and also poses a risk of high battery temperature, thereby reducing the lifespan of the sodium-ion battery pack.
[0019] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a sodium-ion battery pack balancing method based on single-cell capacity correction, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: 101. In response to the capacity balancing signal of the target sodium-ion battery pack, determine the charging reference cell and the discharging reference cell in each individual cell of the target sodium-ion battery pack, and collect the voltage, current, temperature and charge / discharge cycle number of each individual cell in the target sodium-ion battery pack in real time.
[0020] In this embodiment of the invention, the target sodium-ion battery pack consists of multiple cells. To perform capacity balancing on the target sodium-ion battery pack, constant current charging and discharging are first performed. During the charging and discharging process, the dynamic voltage and corresponding time of each individual cell are collected. Based on the dynamic voltage, a charging reference cell and a discharging reference cell are determined. These two reference cells are used as dynamic reference standards for the charging and discharging processes, respectively, to quantify the capacity differences between cells and guide the balancing operation. Simultaneously, voltage, current, and temperature data of each cell within the sodium-ion battery pack are collected in real time using voltage sensors, current sensors, and temperature sensors. The collection frequency can also be set to collect this data. The number of charge-discharge cycles of each cell is also recorded. By determining the charging / discharging reference cells and establishing dynamic reference standards, this embodiment of the invention avoids using fixed thresholds or average values as balancing targets, making the balancing strategy more closely aligned with actual operating conditions.
[0021] 102. Based on voltage, current, temperature, and charge / discharge cycle count, determine the actual usable capacity of the corresponding single cell. The actual usable capacity includes the actual usable capacity of the charging reference cell, the actual usable capacity of the discharging reference cell, and the actual usable capacity of the remaining single cells. The remaining single cells are the single cells in the target sodium-ion battery pack after removing the charging reference cell and the discharging reference cell.
[0022] In this embodiment of the invention, a capacity prediction model is pre-constructed. For each individual cell, its corresponding voltage, current, temperature, and charge-discharge cycle count are input into the capacity prediction model. The actual usable capacity of each individual cell is then predicted by the capacity prediction model. This embodiment of the invention, by using real-time collected voltage, current, temperature, and charge-discharge cycle count, can accurately determine the actual usable capacity of an individual cell, avoiding the limitations of traditional voltage balancing, thereby improving the accuracy of capacity balancing in sodium-ion battery packs.
[0023] 103. Determine the remaining charging time difference between each remaining single cell and the charging reference cell, and based on the remaining charging time difference, the actual available capacity of each remaining single cell, and the actual available capacity of the charging reference cell, determine the remaining rechargeable capacity of the corresponding remaining single cell.
[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, the difference between the remaining time required for each remaining single cell to charge from the current voltage to the cutoff voltage and the remaining charging time of the charging reference cell is predetermined. This difference is used as the remaining charging time difference. Then, based on the remaining charging time difference, the actual usable capacity of each remaining single cell, and the actual usable capacity of the charging reference cell, the remaining rechargeable capacity of the corresponding remaining single cell is determined. The remaining charging time difference directly reflects the capacity and internal resistance differences between cells. Cells with lower capacity or higher internal resistance charge slower under the same current, resulting in a longer remaining charging time; conversely, cells with higher capacity or lower internal resistance charge faster, resulting in a shorter remaining charging time. Therefore, balancing the battery pack using the remaining charging time difference can improve the balancing accuracy of the battery pack.
[0025] 104. Determine the remaining discharge time difference between each remaining cell and the discharge reference cell, and based on the remaining discharge time difference, the actual usable capacity of each remaining cell, and the actual usable capacity of the discharge reference cell, determine the remaining dischargeable capacity of the corresponding remaining cell.
[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, the difference between the remaining time for each remaining individual cell to discharge from its current state to the minimum protection voltage and the remaining time for the discharge reference cell is predetermined, and this difference is used as the remaining discharge time difference. Then, based on the remaining discharge time difference, the actual usable capacity of each remaining individual cell, and the actual usable capacity of the discharge reference cell, the remaining dischargeable capacity of the corresponding remaining individual cell is determined. By analyzing the remaining discharge time difference, the problem of cells that discharge prematurely reaching the minimum protection voltage while other cells are not fully discharged can be avoided, thereby improving the overall capacity utilization rate.
[0027] 105. Based on the remaining rechargeable capacity and remaining dischargeable capacity of each remaining single cell, the capacity of each single cell in the target sodium-ion battery pack is balanced.
[0028] Among them, remaining rechargeable capacity and remaining dischargeable capacity are key parameters for quantifying the current state of a battery cell. Remaining rechargeable capacity refers to the amount of charge that the battery cell can absorb when charging from its current state to a fully charged state; remaining dischargeable capacity refers to the amount of charge that the battery cell can release when discharging from its current state to the minimum protection voltage.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, charge redistribution is achieved through energy transfer between battery cells based on the remaining rechargeable capacity and remaining dischargeable capacity, thereby improving energy utilization. Specifically, a threshold for the remaining rechargeable capacity or remaining dischargeable capacity can be set, and equalization is triggered when a battery cell exceeds the threshold. For example, if the remaining dischargeable capacity of cell A is 10% higher than a reference value, some of its energy is transferred to cell B with a lower capacity through active equalization. This avoids energy waste caused by relying on external components for energy transfer. Therefore, this embodiment of the invention improves energy utilization and prevents battery overheating by equalizing the capacity of each individual cell in the target sodium-ion battery pack, thus extending the battery pack's lifespan.
[0030] In another embodiment of the present invention, during the equalization process, for example, cell voltage and current data are collected every 0.5 seconds. If the cell voltage is detected to be higher than 3.8V (overcharge threshold) or lower than 1.5V (over-discharge threshold), the output power of the DC / DC converter is immediately adjusted until the remaining rechargeable capacity and remaining discharge capacity of all cells meet the requirements, that is, when the capacity difference of all cells drops to a preset threshold, such as below 2Ah, the equalization is stopped. By accurately judging the cell status, targeted charging and discharging operations are performed only on cells with insufficient capacity, avoiding energy waste by using external components such as resistors, and eliminating the need for complex equalization hardware. At the same time, the accurate judgment of the equalization operation reduces the number of invalid equalizations, reduces equipment loss and energy consumption, and extends the overall life of the battery pack.
[0031] For example, consider a sodium-ion battery pack composed of 16 sodium-ion cells connected in series: Target capacity =100Ah, charging cutoff voltage is 3.85V, discharging cutoff voltage is 2.0V, constant current charging current =10A, constant current discharge current =10A, preset voltage acquisition interval is 10s. Constant current charging is started, and the voltage sensor acquires the voltage of each cell every 10s. Charging stops when the 8th cell reaches 3.85V, and the 8th cell is marked as the charging reference cell. =105Ah), record the charging cutoff voltage and time of each cell. After resting for 30 minutes, start constant current discharge, and collect the voltage every 10 seconds. Stop the discharge when the 12th cell reaches 2.0V, and mark the 12th cell as the discharge reference cell ( =102Ah), record the discharge cutoff voltage and time of each cell. Using the voltage-time data of cell 8 as a reference, for cell 3 ( The remaining charging time difference Δ is obtained by interpolating the charging cutoff voltage (3.2V) of 98Ah. =120s, calculate the remaining rechargeable capacity according to the formula. : =10A×120s×(98 / 105)=1120C≈0.31Ah. Using the voltage-time data of the 12th cell as a reference, the discharge cutoff voltage (1.1V) of the 3rd cell is interpolated to obtain the remaining discharge time difference Δ. =90s, calculate the remaining discharge capacity according to the formula. : =10A×90s×(98 / 102)=864.7C≈0.24Ah. The current discharge capacity of the battery pack is measured. =92Ah, calculate =12Ah, =10Ah, current usable capacity of the battery pack =10Ah≥8Ah (ΔQ=100-92=8Ah), no cell replacement required, enter the equalization execution phase; remaining rechargeable flux of the third cell. =0.31Ah≤8Ah, calculate the capacity transfer amount. =8 - 0.31 = 7.69 Ah; Remaining discharge capacity =0.24Ah≤8Ah, and simultaneously calculate the capacity release. =8-0.24=7.76Ah. At this point, the bidirectional DC / DC converter is controlled to charge the third cell for 7.76Ah and then discharge it for 7.69Ah until its remaining chargeable and dischargeable capacity meets the 8Ah requirement. Similarly, the balancing operation of other cells is completed. After balancing, the actual discharge capacity of the battery pack is increased to 99.5Ah.
[0032] This invention provides a sodium-ion battery pack balancing method based on cell capacity correction. Compared to current methods that typically consume excess capacity cells in sodium-ion battery packs through resistors during capacity balancing, this invention, in response to the capacity balancing signal of the target sodium-ion battery pack, determines a charging reference cell and a discharging reference cell among the individual cells of the target sodium-ion battery pack, and collects the voltage, current, temperature, and charge / discharge cycle count of each individual cell in the target sodium-ion battery pack in real time. Based on the voltage, current, temperature, and charge / discharge cycle count, the actual usable capacity of the corresponding individual cell is determined. The actual usable capacity includes the actual usable capacity of the charging reference cell, the actual usable capacity of the discharging reference cell, and the actual usable capacity of the remaining individual cells, where the remaining individual cells are the target sodium-ion battery pack cells. The process involves removing the charging reference cell and the discharging reference cell from the sub-battery pack; simultaneously, determining the remaining charging time difference between each remaining cell and the charging reference cell, and determining the remaining rechargeable capacity of the corresponding remaining cell based on the remaining charging time difference, the actual usable capacity of each remaining cell, and the actual usable capacity of the charging reference cell; then determining the remaining discharging time difference between each remaining cell and the discharging reference cell, and determining the remaining discharging capacity of the corresponding remaining cell based on the remaining discharging time difference, the actual usable capacity of each remaining cell, and the actual usable capacity of the discharging reference cell; finally, based on the remaining rechargeable capacity and remaining discharging capacity of each remaining cell, the capacity of each cell in the target sodium-ion battery pack is balanced. Therefore, by determining the charging / discharging reference cell and establishing a dynamic reference standard, the balancing strategy is made more closely aligned with actual operating conditions, avoiding the use of fixed thresholds or average values as balancing targets. By collecting voltage, current, temperature, and charge / discharge cycle counts in real time, the actual usable capacity of a single cell can be accurately determined, avoiding the limitations of traditional voltage balancing and thus improving the accuracy of capacity balancing in sodium-ion battery packs. Calculating the remaining charge / discharge capacity using the remaining charge / discharge time difference enables precise calculation of energy transfer, avoiding over-balancing or under-balancing. By balancing the capacity of individual cells within the target sodium-ion battery pack, without relying on external resistors, energy utilization can be improved, battery overheating can be avoided, and the lifespan of the battery pack can be extended.
[0033] Furthermore, to better illustrate the above-described balancing process for sodium-ion battery packs based on individual cell capacity correction, as a refinement and extension of the above embodiments, this invention provides another balancing method for sodium-ion battery packs based on individual cell capacity correction, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes: 201. In response to the capacity balancing signal of the target sodium-ion battery pack, determine the charging reference cell and the discharging reference cell in each individual cell of the target sodium-ion battery pack, and collect the voltage, current, temperature and charge / discharge cycle number of each individual cell in the target sodium-ion battery pack in real time.
[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, in order to achieve capacity balancing of the battery pack, it is first necessary to determine the charging reference cell and the discharging reference cell. Based on this, step 201 specifically includes: performing constant current charging on the target sodium-ion battery pack, collecting the dynamic charging voltage of each individual cell at a preset charging time interval, and using the individual cell whose dynamic charging voltage reaches the preset charging cutoff voltage as the charging reference cell; performing constant current discharging on the target sodium-ion battery pack, collecting the dynamic discharging voltage of each individual cell at a preset discharging time interval, and using the individual cell whose dynamic discharging voltage reaches the preset discharging cutoff voltage as the discharging reference cell.
[0035] The preset charging and discharging time intervals, as well as the charging and discharging cutoff voltages, are set according to actual needs. For example, the charging cutoff voltage can be the highest voltage limit allowed for the sodium-ion battery pack during charging, and the discharging cutoff voltage can be the lowest voltage limit allowed for the sodium-ion battery pack during discharging. Specifically, the sodium-ion battery pack is charged at a constant current, and the dynamic voltage of each cell is collected at preset charging time intervals until a certain cell reaches the charging cutoff voltage first. This cell that reaches the charging cutoff voltage first is designated as the charging reference cell, and the charging cutoff voltage and corresponding charging time of all cells are recorded. Simultaneously, the sodium-ion battery pack is discharged at a constant current, and the dynamic voltage of each cell is collected at the same preset time intervals until any cell reaches the discharging cutoff voltage. This cell that reaches the discharge cutoff voltage first is designated as the discharging reference cell, and the discharging cutoff voltage and corresponding discharging time of all cells are recorded. For example, a preset charging cutoff voltage is set... (3.85±0.05V), preset discharge cutoff voltage (2.0±0.05V), charging / discharging current I (0.5-1C), voltage sampling frequency f≥10Hz; constant current charging is performed when the voltage of the first cell reaches... At that time, it was marked as a charging reference cell. (capacity Record charging time Synchronously perform constant current discharge and mark the discharge reference cell. (capacity Record the discharge duration. Then, sensors and other devices are used to collect parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and charge / discharge cycle count of each individual cell in the target sodium-ion battery pack in real time.
[0036] 202. Determine multiple sodium-ion battery cell samples, set multiple sample temperature points in a temperature chamber, and based on each sample temperature point, perform cyclic charge-discharge operations on the sodium-ion battery cell samples in the temperature chamber at multiple charge-discharge rates until the cell capacity of each sodium-ion battery cell sample decays to meet the requirements. Record the actual cell capacity of each sodium-ion battery cell sample under different sample temperatures, different sample currents, and different sample voltages in each cycle of charge-discharge operation.
[0037] 203. Based on the actual cell capacity of each sodium ion cell sample under different temperatures, currents, and voltages during each charge-discharge cycle, a preset capacity prediction model is constructed.
[0038] Specifically, for example, 30 sodium-ion battery cell samples of the same model as the battery pack were selected. Five temperature points were set in a temperature chamber: -20℃, 0℃, 25℃, 45℃, and 60℃. Cycle life tests were conducted at charge / discharge rates of 0.1C, 0.5C, 1C, and 2C, respectively, until the cell capacity decayed to 80% of its initial capacity.
