Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery monitoring technology, and in particular to an ohmic and polarization internal resistance identification system based on filter decomposition. Background Technology

[0002] Battery internal resistance is a key internal parameter characterizing battery performance, health status, and safety, directly affecting the battery's output power, energy efficiency, and thermal management characteristics. Battery internal resistance consists of two parts: ohmic internal resistance and polarization internal resistance. Ohmic internal resistance is mainly formed by the inherent ion and electron conduction resistance of electrode materials, electrolyte, separator, and current collector; its response speed is extremely fast, on the order of milliseconds. Polarization internal resistance, on the other hand, originates from the kinetic delay in the electrochemical reaction process, exhibiting different time constants and reaction rates. It can be further divided into electrochemical polarization internal resistance (charge transfer resistance, caused by the energy barrier of the charge transfer process, with a time constant typically between 10 and 100 milliseconds). The internal resistance components, such as the ohmic resistance (resistance to ion diffusion caused by the concentration gradient of reactants and products, with a time constant on the order of seconds or even longer), correspond to different physicochemical processes within the battery. Their changing trends can reflect different aging mechanisms. For example, an increase in ohmic resistance is often related to electrolyte drying and deterioration of the contact between the electrode active material and the current collector; while an increase in polarization resistance is more indicative of electrochemical kinetic degradation such as active material deactivation and SEI film thickening. Therefore, accurate and separate measurement of these internal resistance components is of vital importance for achieving precise battery health management, failure early warning, and thermal runaway prevention.

[0003] Currently, the main methods used to measure battery internal resistance include the DC discharge method, the AC impedance method, and the hybrid pulse power test method. The DC discharge method applies a sudden high-current discharge pulse to the battery and calculates the internal resistance using Ohm's law based on the instantaneous changes in voltage and current at the start or end of the pulse. This method has a simple circuit, but traditional circuits cannot capture the complete voltage response process when the sampling frequency is insufficient. The instrument sampling frequency is usually no more than 10Hz (sampling interval no less than 100ms). Within the sampling time interval, the polarization voltage corresponding to the electrochemical polarization process has decayed to a negligible level, making it difficult to separate the charge transfer internal resistance from the ohmic internal resistance. Therefore, in the DC pulse method test, the resistance calculated from the sudden voltage is generally composed of two parts: the ohmic internal resistance and the charge transfer internal resistance, and it is impossible to accurately identify the independent internal components. The AC impedance method involves injecting a small AC current signal of a specific frequency or multiple frequencies into the battery, measuring the voltage response and phase difference across the battery terminals, and obtaining the battery's impedance spectrum by scanning the frequency. Although this method can separate internal resistance components with different time constants through simulation, it requires expensive specialized equipment (such as an electrochemical workstation), has a slow measurement speed, and is complex in data processing, making it difficult to implement online applications in embedded scenarios such as vehicle battery management.

[0004] The existing technical solutions have the following main problems in achieving the separation of internal resistance components of batteries: (1) the accuracy of mixed identification of internal resistance components is limited; (2) large current discharge is required and must be carried out in a static or offline state, making it difficult to achieve online monitoring and failing to meet the real-time requirements of the battery management system. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an ohmic and polarization internal resistance identification system and method based on filter decomposition. By decomposing the voltage waveform generated by DC discharge through filters of different frequencies, the system can accurately identify each internal resistance component, solving the problems of mixed identification of internal resistance components and low measurement accuracy in the prior art.

The multi-frequency filtering decomposition module includes at least one high-pass filter, one band-pass filter, and one low-pass filter. The high-pass filter extracts the rapidly changing component of the voltage waveform across the battery under test corresponding to the ohmic internal resistance. The band-pass filter extracts the mid-frequency changing component of the voltage waveform across the battery under test corresponding to the electrochemical polarization resistance. The low-pass filter extracts the slowly changing component of the voltage waveform across the battery under test corresponding to the concentration polarization internal resistance. The internal resistance calculation and output module is connected to the multi-frequency filtering and decomposition module. It calculates the ohmic internal resistance of the battery under test based on the voltage signal output by the high-pass filter, calculates the electrochemical polarization internal resistance of the battery under test based on the voltage signal output by the band-pass filter, and calculates the concentration polarization internal resistance of the battery under test based on the voltage signal output by the low-pass filter.

This indicates the change in discharge current. express , Voltage change at a given time point This represents the steady-state voltage change after 30 seconds of passing through a low-pass filter. This indicates the internal resistance of concentration polarization.

[0011] This invention also provides a method for identifying ohmic and polarization internal resistance based on filter decomposition, comprising the following steps: S1. Control the DC discharge control module to apply a DC discharge current pulse to the battery under test; S2. The voltage waveform across the battery under test is acquired by the voltage response acquisition module during the DC discharge current pulse. S3.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention is the first to separate DC discharge voltage signals by frequency components using filter decomposition technology, extracting the voltage signal components corresponding to ohmic internal resistance and polarization internal resistance respectively. This method fundamentally solves the industry problem of "mixed identification" of internal resistance in traditional DC discharge methods, and can accurately reflect different aging mechanisms inside the battery (such as increased ohmic internal resistance indicating connection deterioration, and increased polarization internal resistance indicating active material deactivation). It also avoids the complex phase detection and spectrum analysis required by AC impedance methods. At the same time, the entire measurement and calculation process can be completed in seconds, without the need for long-term charge and discharge rest, and supports online real-time monitoring, which greatly improves the instant response capability of the battery management system and realizes accurate and real-time separation and monitoring of internal resistance components. This invention designs a parallel multi-channel filtering architecture that can simultaneously acquire different frequency components of a voltage signal, achieving real-time separation and calculation of internal resistance components. The core functions can be implemented using conventional filters and electronic components (such as second-order active filters and MCUs), without relying on expensive dedicated equipment (such as electrochemical workstations and square wave generators), resulting in extremely low hardware costs. This is highly beneficial for large-scale promotion and application in scenarios such as electric vehicles and energy storage systems. In addition, the circuit system provided by this invention can be easily integrated into existing battery management systems (BMS) as a functional module without requiring major modifications to the existing architecture.
