Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of batteries, and particularly relates to a method and device for acquiring a state of health of a battery, a vehicle, a computer program product and a computer-readable storage medium.BACKGROUND

[0002] For new energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, lithium-ion power batteries are the main power sources. A state of health (SOH) of the battery is an important parameter of the power battery, which indicates an aging degree of the battery, that is, the attenuation of a capacity and the increase of an internal resistance. The SOH is also related to the estimation of other important states of the battery, such as a state of charge(SOC) and an allowable power, which directly affect a driving range and a driving experience. Therefore, how to accurately estimate the SOH of the battery is an important issue for the pure electric vehicles.

[0003] Currently, the SOH of the lithium-ion power battery for the new energy vehicle is generally estimated by: firstly measuring a cycle number of the battery, and then obtaining the state of health SOH of the battery by querying a correspondence table between the cycle number measured in advance and the SOH. In fact, due to the different temperatures and working conditions of the battery in different vehicles and differences between the batteries, the SOHs of different batteries are actually different even with the same cycle times, so this method cannot truly reflect the actual SOH of the battery, which leads to inaccurate estimation of the SOC and the driving range, and seriously affects the driving experience of users. US 2015 / 0346285 A1 discloses a device for assessing an extent of degradation of a secondary battery, including: a determination unit that determines whether or not a value of current flowing in the secondary battery is less than a predetermined value; a first voltage measurement unit that takes a time point at which it is determined by the determination unit that the value of the current is less than the predetermined value as being a start time point of a specific interval, and that measures a first battery voltage of the secondary battery at the start time point; a first charge amount calculation unit that obtains a first charge amount corresponding to the secondary battery based upon the measured first battery voltage; a second voltage measurement unit that, after the first battery voltage has been measured by the first voltage measurement unit, takes a time point at which itis determined by the determination unit that the value of the current is less than the predetermined value as being an end time point of the specific interval, and that measures a second battery voltage of the secondary battery at the end time point; a second charge amount calculation unit that obtains a second charge amount corresponding to the secondary battery based upon the measured second battery voltage; an integrated current amount calculation unit that obtains an integrated amount of the current flowing in the secondary battery during the specific interval; and a charge capacity calculation unit that obtains a difference between the first charge amount and the second charge amount, and that calculates a charge capacity by dividing the integrated amount of the current by the difference. US 2015 / 0120225 A1 discloses an apparatus and a method for determining degradation of a high-voltage vehicle battery. The apparatus for determining degradation of a high-voltage vehicle battery is configured to measure a battery state of health (SOH) according to a preset estimation calculation, thereby minimizing a battery degradation estimation error. It is possible to calculate a capacity of a battery only using a current value and a state of charge (SOC) change value to estimate an SOH of the battery, thereby simplifying an algorithm for the estimation. In particular, it is also advantageously possible to estimate a battery SOH through a first estimation algorithm, compare the estimated battery SOH with a threshold value, determine whether to perform re-estimation and if the re-estimation is determined, re-estimate the battery SOH through a second estimation algorithm, using a least mean square method, thereby minimizing an error in a battery SOH estimation value. US 2004 / 0257045 A1 discloses a voltage control apparatus which checks a battery voltage when an automotive generator gradually increases its output to be within a predetermined range after temporarily stopping the generator. Then, the battery voltage is picked up to calculate the charge rate. Further, a first charge rate and a first residual capacity of the battery are memorized when the engine is stopped. Periodically, a pseudo-open circuit voltage is checked when a charge / discharge current fits within a pre-determined small range while the engine is not running, and a second charge rate is calculated based on the checked pseudo-open circuit voltage. A second residual capacity is calculated using the first charge rate, the first residual capacity, and the second charge rate. CN 108061863 A discloses a battery detection method and a device, a computer readable storage medium and a battery management system which relate to the field of battery technology. The short board cell is first determined, and then the SOH of at least one short board cell is obtained. The SOH that meets the measurement conditions can accurately reflect the SOH of the battery. The calculation process is simple, the calculation amount is small, the time is short, the system load is reduced, and the system running speed is improved. The method includes determining at least one short board cell in the battery according to the charge and discharge of each cell in the battery; calculating the SOH of the health state of at least one short board cell; and determining the SOH of the battery according to the SOH of at least one short board cell that meets the measurement conditions. The technical scheme provided is suitable for determining the SOH of the battery.SUMMARY

A ratio of the current actual capacity of the battery to a nominal capacity of the battery delivered from a factory is converted into a percentage, which is an SOH. The method is illustrated hereinafter with reference to the specific embodiments.

[0011] FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a method for acquiring a state of health of a battery according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, comprising: 101: when a vehicle is powered on, determining whether a capacity variation calculation condition is satisfied;
