Description

[0002] Energy storage systems consist of multiple battery cells used to store electrical energy. Due to manufacturing tolerances, the performance of each cell may be inconsistent. Furthermore, cells age over time, reducing their capacity and health. Therefore, the capacity and health of individual cells within an energy storage system may differ, leading to a "bottleneck effect." The bottleneck effect refers to the situation where the system's shutdown condition is based on the health status of individual cells. When at least one cell prematurely reaches the shutdown condition, the entire system stops charging and discharging before other cells are fully charged or discharged. This bottleneck effect affects the stable operation of the energy storage system and poses safety hazards. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the health status of the cells to correct their parameters. However, current technologies suffer from difficulties in detecting cell health status information, and the accuracy of the determined health status information is relatively low.

[0038] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating some embodiments of the battery cell testing method disclosed herein. Figure 1 As shown, the cell testing method includes steps S101 to S104.

[0039] Step S101: Determine the first SOC (State of Charge) of the battery cell based on the first voltage information of the battery cell.

[0040] The battery cell can be of various types, such as lithium-ion cells, and is used to store electrical energy. The first voltage information of the battery cell is the voltage information collected by the cell in the first detection state, and this first voltage information can be obtained using various methods. For example, an energy storage system includes multiple battery cells. The energy storage system can use existing data acquisition devices to collect various data such as voltage, current, discharge time, and charging time of each cell; it can also acquire the first voltage information of the cell collected by the data acquisition device in the first detection state; after acquiring the first voltage information of the cell, the first state of charge (SOC) is determined based on this first voltage information.

[0041] Step S102: Determine the second SOC of the battery cell based on the second voltage information of the battery cell.

[0042] The second voltage information of the battery cell refers to the voltage information of the battery cell collected in the second detection state. This second voltage information can be obtained using various methods. For example, the second voltage information of the battery cell collected by a data acquisition device in the second detection state can be acquired. After acquiring the second voltage information, the second SOC is determined based on this information.

[0043] Step S103: Determine the capacity parameter information of the battery cell based on the first SOC, the second SOC, and the current information of the battery cell.

[0044] The current information of the battery cell includes the current information during the charging or discharging of the cell within the time interval between the first and second detection states. This current information includes the current magnitude and the corresponding time, and can be obtained using various methods. For example, the charging or discharging current information of the battery cell can be acquired by a data acquisition device during the time interval between the first and second detection states.

[0045] Step S104: Determine the health status information of the battery cell based on the initial capacity information and capacity parameter information of the battery cell.

[0046] The initial capacity information of a battery cell can be the capacity information of the cell under conditions such as first use. This initial capacity information can be pre-stored in the storage units of the energy storage system. State of Health (SOH) is a parameter reflecting the performance and lifespan of a battery cell. SOH information can reflect capacity changes after cell aging. Cell aging during use leads to a decrease in cell capacity. If the SOH is not corrected after the capacity decreases, there may be safety risks such as overcurrent. Based on the cell's state of health information, existing methods can be used to correct the cell's state of health parameters.

[0047] The disclosed cell testing method is easy to implement, solves the problem of difficulty in detecting cell health status and other information, improves the accuracy and reliability of health status determination, and can be used to correct cell health status parameters, thereby improving the stability and safety of energy storage system operation.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first detection state and the second detection state can be multiple states. For example, the first detection state includes: the battery cell is in a first static state and the static duration is greater than a first duration threshold, wherein, in the first detection state, the SOC of the battery cell is greater than a first SOC threshold or less than a second SOC threshold.

[0049] The second detection state includes a state where the battery cell is in a second static state and the static duration is greater than a second duration threshold. In this second detection state, the battery cell's State of Charge (SOC) is less than the second SOC threshold or greater than the first SOC threshold, where the first SOC threshold is greater than the second SOC threshold. By setting the first and second detection states when detecting the battery cell, the accuracy of determining information such as the battery cell's health status can be ensured.

[0050] The first and second duration thresholds can be the same or different. The first and second duration thresholds can be set according to detection requirements; for example, both the first and second duration thresholds can be 2 hours. The first and second SOC thresholds can also be set according to detection requirements; for example, the first SOC threshold can be 90%, and the second SOC threshold can be 10%.

[0051] During the time interval between the first detection state and the second detection state, the battery cell can be controlled to undergo discharge processing. Before the discharge processing, the SOC of the battery cell is greater than the first SOC threshold, and after the discharge processing is completed, the SOC of the battery cell is less than the second SOC threshold.

[0052] During the time interval between the first detection state and the second detection state, the battery cell can be controlled to perform charging processing. Before the charging process, the SOC of the battery cell is less than the second SOC threshold, and after the charging process is completed, the SOC of the battery cell is greater than the first SOC threshold.

[0053] When testing a battery cell, by controlling the cell to charge or discharge during the interval between the first and second testing states, the accuracy of determining information such as the cell's health status can be ensured.

[0054] In some embodiments, when testing the battery cell, if the battery cell is in a first static state and the static duration is greater than a first duration threshold of 2 hours, and the SOC of the battery cell is greater than 90% of the first SOC threshold or less than 10% of the second SOC threshold (state 1), then the battery cell is determined to be in a first testing state; the last moment when the battery cell is in this state is recorded as T1.

[0055] After the energy storage system is powered on, the cells are charged and discharged under the set operating conditions until the cutoff condition (state 2) is reached. The last moment of the cell in this state is recorded as T2. The cutoff condition can be various, for example, the cutoff condition includes the cell's SOC being less than 10% of the second SOC threshold or greater than 90% of the first SOC threshold.

[0056] If the battery cell is in the second static state and the static duration is greater than the second duration threshold of 2 hours, and the SOC of the battery cell is less than the second SOC threshold of 10% or greater than the first SOC threshold of 90% (state 3), then the battery cell is determined to be in the second detection state; the last moment when the battery cell is in this state is recorded as T3.

[0057] The battery cell can be charged and discharged under various operating conditions. For example, during the interval between the first and second detection states, starting from time T1, the battery cell is periodically charged at 30-minute intervals with set current and power parameters until the cutoff condition is met. Before charging, the battery cell's SOC is less than 10% of the second SOC threshold; after charging is complete, the battery cell's SOC is greater than 90% of the first SOC threshold.

[0058] Alternatively, during the interval between the first and second detection states, starting from time T1, the battery cell can be periodically discharged at 30-minute intervals, controlled by set operating parameters, until the cutoff condition is met. Before discharge, the battery cell's SOC is greater than 90%, and after discharge, the battery cell's SOC is less than 10%.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first SOC of the battery cell can be determined using various methods based on the first voltage information of the battery cell acquired in the first detection state. For example, the first SOC can be calculated based on the SOC-OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) curve of the battery cell and the first voltage information.

[0060] The SOC-OCV curve can be pre-stored. The SOC-OCV curve is a curve characterizing the relationship between the SOC and OCV of the battery cell. The first voltage information includes the OCV information of the battery cell. Based on the first voltage information, the first SOC corresponding to the first voltage information is calculated using the SOC-OCV curve and interpolation algorithms. Determining the first SOC through the SOC-OCV curve of the battery cell improves the efficiency and accuracy of the first SOC determination.

[0061] Based on the second voltage information of the battery cell acquired under the second detection state, the second SOC of the battery cell can be determined using various methods. For example, the second SOC can be calculated based on the SOC-OCV curve of the battery cell and the second voltage information. The second voltage information includes the OCV information of the battery cell. Based on the second voltage information, the second SOC corresponding to the second voltage information is calculated using the SOC-OCV curve and interpolation algorithms. Determining the second SOC through the SOC-OCV curve of the battery cell improves both the efficiency and accuracy of the second SOC determination.

[0062] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the process of determining the capacity parameter information of a battery cell in some embodiments of the battery cell testing method disclosed herein. Figure 2 As shown, the method for determining the capacity parameter information of the battery cell includes steps S201 to S203.

[0063] Step S201: Determine the change in SOC based on the first SOC and the second SOC.

[0064] Several methods can be used to determine the change in SOC. For example, the difference between the first SOC and the second SOC can be calculated, and the absolute value of this difference can be used as the change in SOC.

[0065] Step S202: Based on the current information, determine the capacity change information of the battery cell.

[0066] The current information refers to the charging or discharging current of the battery cell during the time interval between the first and second detection states. Based on this current information, various methods can be used to determine the cell's capacity change information. One method is the ampere-hour integration method, which calculates the capacity change based on the current information. This ampere-hour integration method is then used to estimate the capacity of the current information, thereby determining the cell's capacity parameters based on the capacity change information.

[0067] For example, current information includes current magnitude and time information. Existing ampere-hour integration methods can be used to calculate capacity change information based on current and time. The formula for calculating the capacity change information of a battery cell is:

[0068] ΔCap = (1-1);

[0069] Wherein, ΔCap represents the capacity change information of the battery cell; I represents the current magnitude of the battery cell during the charging or discharging process in the time interval between the first detection state and the second detection state; and [T1, T2] represents the time interval during the charging or discharging process in the battery cell in the time interval between the first detection state and the second detection state.

[0070] Step S203: Determine capacity parameter information based on capacity change information and SOC change amount.

[0071] The change in SOC is determined by the first SOC and the second SOC, and the capacity change information of the cell is determined by the current information. The capacity parameter information is determined based on the capacity change information and the change in SOC, which improves the accuracy of the capacity parameter information determination, and thus improves the accuracy of the health status information determination.

[0072] Various methods can be used to determine capacity parameter information based on capacity change information and SOC change. For example, a first ratio of capacity change information to SOC change can be calculated and used as the capacity parameter information. By using the first ratio of capacity change information to SOC change as the capacity parameter information, the accuracy of capacity parameter determination is improved.

[0073] Various methods can be used to determine the health status of a battery cell based on its initial capacity information and capacity parameter information. For example, a second ratio of the capacity parameter information to the initial capacity information can be calculated and used as the health status information. By using this second ratio, the accuracy of health status determination is improved.

[0074] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the process of determining the health status information of a battery cell in some embodiments of the battery cell testing method disclosed herein. Figure 3 As shown, the method for determining the health status information of the battery cell includes steps S301 to S305.

[0075] Step S301: Calculate the first SOC based on the SOC-OCV curve of the battery cell and the first voltage information.

[0076] The SOC-OCV curves of each battery cell are pre-stored in the storage unit of the energy storage system. When each battery cell is in its first detection state, the first voltage information of each cell is collected. Based on the SOC-OCV curves and the first voltage information of each cell, the first SOC of each cell is calculated as SOC1 using an interpolation method.

[0077] Step S302: Calculate the second SOC based on the SOC-OCV curve of the battery cell and the second voltage information.

[0078] During the time interval between the first and second detection states, the battery cells are controlled to charge or discharge. In the second detection state, the second voltage information of each battery cell in the energy storage system is collected. Based on the SOC-OCV curve and the second voltage information of each battery cell, the second SOC of each battery cell is calculated as SOC2 using an interpolation method.

[0079] Step S303: Based on the current information, determine the capacity change information of the battery cell.

[0080] The current information refers to the charging or discharging current of each cell during the time interval between the first and second detection states. Based on the current information, the ampere-hour integration method is used to calculate the capacity change information ΔCap of each cell by integrating the current information (including current magnitude and time).

[0081] Step S304: Calculate the first ratio of capacity change information to SOC change amount, and use the first ratio as capacity parameter information.

[0082] The change in SOC can be represented as ΔSOC = abs(SOC1 – SOC2), where abs() is the absolute value function. The first ratio of the capacity change information to the change in SOC is calculated as the capacity parameter information. The capacity parameter information of each cell is Cap = ΔCap / ΔSOC, which yields the capacity distribution data of the cells under the current aging dimension.

[0083] Step S305: Calculate the second ratio of the capacity parameter information to the initial capacity information, and use the second ratio as the health status information.

[0084] The second ratio of the capacity distribution information to the initial capacity information can be calculated as the health status information. The health status information of each cell is SOH = Cap / Cap0.

[0085] In some embodiments, the energy storage system includes an energy storage cabinet, in which multiple battery cells are arranged in series. The initial capacity information Cap0 of each battery cell can be determined during the cell production stage and stored in the storage unit; the SOC-OCV curves of each battery cell can be the same or different, and the SOC-OCV curves of the battery cells are predetermined and stored.

[0086] After the energy storage cabinet is integrated and assembled, and when each cell of the energy storage system is in the first detection state, the first voltage information of each cell is collected. Based on the SOC-OCV curve and the first voltage information of each cell, the first SOC is calculated as SOC1 using an interpolation method.

[0087] During the time interval between the first and second detection states, the battery cells are controlled to charge or discharge according to preset operating condition data. Based on the current information of each battery cell during the charging or discharging process during the time interval between the first and second detection states, the ampere-hour integration method is used to calculate the capacity change information ΔCap of each battery cell by integrating the current data (including current magnitude and time). Since all battery cells are connected in series, the capacity change ΔCap calculated based on the ampere-hour integration method can be equal for each battery cell.

[0088] The second voltage information of each cell is acquired under the second detection state. Based on the SOC-OCV curve of the cell and the second voltage information, the second SOC of each cell is calculated as SOC2.

[0089] Calculate the SOC change of each cell ΔSOC = ABS(SOC1 – SOC2), calculate the capacity parameter information of each cell (the actual capacity distribution data of each cell) Cap = ΔCap / ΔSOC; calculate the current health status information of each cell SOH = Cap / Cap0; based on the health status information of each cell, existing methods can be used to correct the health status parameters of the cells that need correction.

[0090] The cell detection method in the above embodiments determines the cell's capacity parameters based on the cell's first SOC in the first detection state, second SOC in the second detection state, and current information. Based on the initial capacity information and capacity parameters, it determines the cell's health status. This method can detect cells in various application scenarios, is easy to implement, and solves the problem of difficulty in detecting cell health status and other information. It accurately determines the cell's health status and other information, improving the accuracy and reliability of this determination. Based on the health status information, the cell's health status parameters can be corrected in a timely manner, improving the stability and safety of the energy storage system.

[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, this disclosure provides a battery cell testing device, including a first SOC determination module 401, a second SOC determination module 402, a capacity determination module 403, and a health determination module 404.

[0092] The first SOC determination module 401 determines the first state of charge (SOC) of the battery cell based on the first voltage information of the battery cell, wherein the first voltage information is the voltage information of the battery cell collected in the first detection state. For example, the first SOC determination module 401 calculates the first SOC based on the SOC-OCV curve of the battery cell and the first voltage information.

[0093] The second SOC determination module 402 determines the second SOC of the battery cell based on the second voltage information of the battery cell, wherein the second voltage information is the voltage information of the battery cell collected in the second detection state. For example, the second SOC determination module 402 calculates the second SOC based on the SOC-OCV curve of the battery cell and the second voltage information.

[0094] The capacity determination module 403 determines the capacity parameter information of the battery cell based on the first SOC, the second SOC, and the current information of the battery cell.
