Description

DESCRIPTION TITLE: ESTIMATION OF PARAMETER VALUES OF AN ELECTRICAL MODEL REPRESENTING A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY The present invention claims priority from French application No. 2304447 filed on 03.05.2023, the content of which (text, drawings and claims) is incorporated herein by reference. Technical field of the invention

[0001] The invention relates to rechargeable batteries, and more precisely to the estimation of values ​​taken by at least one parameter of an electrical model representing a rechargeable battery. State of the art

[0002] In many areas, such as vehicles (possibly automotive), rechargeable batteries, possibly cellular, are used.

[0003] Before being installed in a system, it is common for a battery to undergo one or more test phases under the control of at least one computer. Similarly, once installed in a system, a battery is managed by a computer, for example to optimize its lifespan in the system. In both cases, the computers must know the evolution of at least one parameter as a function of the battery temperature and the battery's state of charge. Each parameter is part of an electrical model representing a rechargeable battery. For example, when the electrical model defines a voltage across the battery terminals and is of the RC type, it includes a first parameter constituting a first resistance (generally designated by R0) and a second parameter constituting a second resistance (generally designated by R1).

[0004] It is important to note that "battery temperature" here refers to the temperature of the battery inside its battery assembly (or "pack").

[0005] Each battery is therefore delivered with information allowing the computer to manage its operation optimally at the time in question, and therefore according to its current battery temperature and its current state of charge.

[0006] Currently, some of this information is battery coefficients that have been previously determined each based on a battery temperature and a battery state of charge. Generally, these coefficients, which can, for example, be an internal resistance often called DCR ("Direct Current Resistance"), are grouped in a correspondence table (or map). Some other of this information is known values ​​of each parameter for pairs comprising different states of charge and at least one chosen battery temperature (for example equal to 25°C).

[0007] The calculator managing the battery then uses this correspondence table and these known values ​​to estimate at the moment in question the value taken by each parameter of the electrical model, taking into account the current battery temperature and state of charge.

[0008] The known values ​​of each parameter being determined for the same chosen battery temperature (for example equal to 25°C), and in the best case for two chosen battery temperatures (for example equal to 25°C and 45°C), as soon as the battery temperature is relatively far from the (one) chosen battery temperature, the estimated values ​​of the parameters are imprecise, or even very imprecise, and therefore the management of the battery cannot be optimal or the reliability of certain tests cannot be high.

[0009] The invention therefore aims in particular to improve the situation. Presentation of the invention

[0010] For this purpose, it proposes in particular a method for estimating values ​​taken by at least one parameter of an electrical model representing a rechargeable battery and associated with at least one table establishing a correspondence between pairs of battery temperature and state of charge of the battery and first coefficients of this battery, each parameter having known values ​​for pairs comprising different states of charge and at least one same chosen battery temperature.

[0011] This estimation process is characterized by the fact that it includes a step in which:

[0012] - second coefficients are determined respectively equal to ratios between first coefficients corresponding to pairs containing battery temperatures and states of charge and first coefficients corresponding to pairs containing this chosen battery temperature and these states of charge, then

[0013] - the values ​​of each parameter are estimated, for given battery temperature and state of charge pairs, based on the result of a multiplication between the second coefficient determined for the pair considered and the known value of the parameter considered for the state of charge of this pair and the chosen battery temperature.

[0014] Thanks to the invention, we now have estimated values ​​for each parameter which complement the known values, and therefore future management of the battery can be optimal and the reliability of the tests carried out on this battery can be high.

[0015] The estimation method according to the invention may include other characteristics which may be taken separately or in combination, and in particular:

[0016] - in its step, when the couples of the table include charge states greater than or equal to a first threshold, we can determining third coefficients respectively equal to ratios between first coefficients corresponding to pairs containing the chosen battery temperature and states of charge lower than the first threshold and the first coefficient corresponding to a pair containing this chosen battery temperature and the first threshold, then the values ​​of each parameter can be estimated for pairs containing states of charge lower than the first threshold and the chosen battery temperature as a function of a result of a multiplication between the third coefficient determined for this pair and the known value of the parameter considered for the first threshold and the chosen battery temperature, these estimated values ​​becoming known values;

[0017] - in the presence of the first option, in its step, the first threshold can be between a state of charge equal to 15% and another state of charge equal to 25%. For example, this first threshold can be equal to a state of charge of 20%;

[0018] - in its step we can use an electrical model defining a voltage at the terminals of the battery, of RC type, and comprising a first parameter constituting a first resistance and a second parameter constituting a second resistance;

[0019] - in its step, when each parameter has known values ​​for pairs comprising different states of charge and first and second chosen battery temperatures, it is possible to determine first fourth coefficients respectively equal to ratios between first coefficients corresponding to pairs containing battery temperatures and states of charge and first coefficients corresponding to pairs containing the first chosen battery temperature and the states of charge, and second fourth coefficients respectively equal to ratios between first coefficients corresponding to pairs containing battery temperatures and states of charge and first coefficients corresponding to pairs containing the second chosen battery temperature and the states of charge, then each second coefficient corresponding to a pair can be determined by dividing by two a sum between the first and second fourth coefficients corresponding to this pair;

[0020] - in its stage, we can compare simulation results of the electrical model with estimated values ​​corresponding to selected stresses on the battery with corresponding real results obtained by actually subjecting the battery to these same stresses, and if a difference between these simulation results and these real results is less than a second threshold we can consider that the estimated values ​​are usable.

[0021] The invention also proposes a computer program product comprising a set of instructions which, when executed by processing means, is capable of implementing an estimation method of the type presented above for estimating values ​​taken by at least one parameter of an electrical model representing a rechargeable battery and associated with at least one table establishing a correspondence between pairs of battery temperature and state of charge of this battery and first coefficients of this battery, each parameter having known values ​​for pairs comprising different states of charge and at least one same chosen battery temperature.

[0022] The invention also proposes an estimation device responsible for estimating values ​​taken by at least one parameter of an electrical model representing a rechargeable battery and associated with at least one table establishing a correspondence between pairs of battery temperature and state of charge of this battery and first coefficients of this battery, each parameter having known values ​​for pairs comprising different states of charge and at least one same chosen battery temperature.

[0023] This estimation device is characterized by the fact that it comprises at least one processor and at least one memory arranged to carry out the operations consisting of:

[0024] - to determine second coefficients respectively equal to ratios between first coefficients corresponding to pairs containing battery temperatures and states of charge and first coefficients corresponding to pairs containing the chosen battery temperature and the states of charge, then

[0025] - to estimate the value of each parameter, for a given battery temperature and state of charge pair, based on a result of a multiplication between the second coefficient determined for this pair and the known value of the parameter considered for the state of charge of this pair and the chosen battery temperature.

[0026] The invention also proposes electronic equipment with computing capacity comprising an estimation device of the type presented above. Brief description of the figures

[0027] Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on examining the detailed description below, and the appended drawings, in which:

[0028] [Fig. 1] schematically and functionally illustrates an example of electronic equipment, comprising a calculator comprising an example embodiment of an estimation device according to the invention, and coupled to a rechargeable battery, and

[0029] [Fig. 2] schematically illustrates an example of an algorithm implementing an estimation method according to the invention. Detailed description of the invention

[0030] The invention aims in particular to propose an estimation method, and an associated estimation device DE, intended to allow the estimation of values ​​vpj(ec, te) taken by at least one parameter pj of an electrical model representing a rechargeable BC battery.

[0031] In the following, it is considered, by way of non-limiting example, that the rechargeable battery BC is initially intended to be coupled to electronic equipment EE with computing capacity and responsible for acquiring estimates of parameter values ​​pj concerning it, then finally intended to be part of a vehicle of the automobile type, such as for example a car. But the invention is not limited to this last application. Indeed the rechargeable battery can be part of any system comprising at least one electronic equipment with computing capacity. Consequently, the system could be a vehicle (land, sea (or river), or air), household appliance (possibly consumer), an electronic device, an installation (possibly industrial), or a building, for example.

[0032] Furthermore, it is considered in the following, by way of non-limiting example, that the rechargeable battery BC is of the cellular type. In this case, it comprises N electrical energy storage cells, with N > 2, possibly grouped into module(s). Each cell (for electrical energy storage) is possibly electrochemical (in this case it may, for example, be of the lithium-ion (or Li-ion) or Ni-Mh or Ni-Cd type).

[0033] Figure 1 schematically represents an example of electronic equipment EE, comprising at least one calculator CE providing it with its calculation capacity and comprising an example embodiment of an estimation device DE, and coupled to a battery BC (rechargeable).

[0034] For example, this electronic equipment EE could be a computer (possibly a laptop) or a workstation. But it could also be an electronic tablet, for example.

[0035] As mentioned above, the invention proposes in particular an estimation method intended to allow the estimation of values ​​vpj(ec, te) taken by at least one parameter pj of an electrical model representing the battery BC (rechargeable).

[0036] This (estimation) method can be implemented at least partially by the estimation device DE (illustrated in Figure 1) which comprises for this purpose at least one processor PR1, for example a digital signal processor (or DSP ("Digital Signal Processor")), and at least one memory MD. This estimation device DE can therefore be produced in the form of a combination of electrical or electronic circuits or components (or "hardware") and software modules (or "software"). For example, it can be a microcontroller.

[0037] The MD memory is RAM in order to store instructions for the implementation by the processor PR1 of at least part of the estimation method. The processor PR1 may comprise integrated (or printed) circuits, or several integrated (or printed) circuits connected by wired or wireless connections. An integrated (or printed) circuit is understood to mean any type of device capable of carrying out at least one electrical or electronic operation.

[0038] In the example illustrated non-limitingly in Figure 1, the estimation device DE is part of a CE calculator of electronic equipment EE. But it could be part of a battery calculator coupled to the BC battery and equipping a system (such as a vehicle), or could include its own dedicated calculator.

[0039] As illustrated non-limitingly in Figure 2, the (estimation) method, according to the invention, comprises a step 10-70 which is implemented when it is desired to estimate values ​​taken by at least one of the following: minus one parameter pj of an electrical model representing the battery BC.

[0040] In the following, it is considered, by way of non-limiting example, that the electrical model defines a voltage across the terminals of the battery BC which is of the RC type, and comprises a first parameter p1 (j = 1) constituting a first resistance RO and a second parameter p2 (j = 2) constituting a second resistance R1. It is recalled that in such an electrical model the voltage UBC across the terminals of the battery BC is given by the formula UBC = uv(ec) + R0*l + URC, WHERE uv(ec) is the no-load voltage, ec is the state of charge, and URC is the voltage across an RC assembly, comprising a capacitor c1 mounted in parallel with the second resistance R1, and mounted in series with the first resistance RO. This electrical model also defines the time derivative of URC which is given by the formula U'RC = -(URC / (R1 *C1)) + (l / c1).

[0041] The battery BC is associated with at least one table (or mapping) t1 which establishes a correspondence between pairs each comprising a battery temperature te and a state of charge ec of the battery BC and first coefficients cf1 (ec, te) of the battery BC. Each parameter pj has known values ​​vcj(ec, teck) for pairs comprising different states of charge ec and at least one same chosen battery temperature teck.

[0042] For example, the first coefficients cf1 (ec, te) can be internal resistances called DCR (Direct Current Resistance).

[0043] The table (or mapping) t1 and the known values ​​vcj(ec, teck) can, for example, be stored in the estimation device DE or the calculator CE of the electronic equipment EE which includes it (here).

[0044] Step 10-70 of the method comprises a sub-step 30 in which one (for example the estimation device DE) begins by determining second coefficients cf2(ec, te) which are respectively equal to ratios between first coefficients cf1 (ec, te), which correspond to pairs containing battery temperatures te and states of charge ec, and first coefficients cf1 (ec, teck), which correspond to pairs containing the chosen battery temperature teck and the states of charge ec. We therefore have cf2(ec, te) = cf 1 (ec, te) / cf 1 (ec, teck).

[0045] Step 10-70 of the method also comprises a sub-step 40 in which the values ​​vpj(ec, te) of each parameter pj are estimated (for example the estimation device DE) for given battery temperature te and state of charge ec pairs. Each estimation is made as a function of the result of the multiplication between the second coefficient cf2(ec, te) determined for the (ec, te) pair considered and the known value vcj(ec, teck) of the parameter pj considered for the state of charge ec of this pair and the chosen battery temperature teck. We then have vpj(ec, te) = cf2(ec, te) * vcj(ec, teck).

[0046] Thus, for each parameter pj, we have estimated values ​​vpj(ec, te) which complement the known values ​​vcj(ec, teck) which are usually very few in number because they very generally concern a single chosen battery temperature ted (for example equal to 25°C) and sometimes two chosen battery temperatures ted and tec2 (for example equal to 25°C and 45°C respectively). Consequently, the future management of the BC battery can be optimal and the reliability of tests carried out on this BC battery can be high.

[0047] It will be noted that it may happen that the couples of the table t1 include states of charge ec which are greater than or equal to a first threshold s1. In this case, as illustrated non-limitingly in FIG. 2, step 10-70 may comprise a sub-step 20 in which one (for example the estimation device DE) can determine third coefficients cf3(ec, teck) which are respectively equal to ratios between first coefficients cf1(ec, teck) corresponding to couples containing the (one) chosen battery temperature teck and states of charge ec lower than the first threshold s1 and the first coefficient cf1(s1, teck) corresponding to a couple containing this chosen battery temperature and the first threshold s1. We then have cf3(ec, teck) = cf 1 (ec, teck) / cf 1 (s1, teck).

[0048] Then, in this sub-step 20 one (for example the estimation device DE) can estimate the values ​​vepj(ec, teck) of each parameter pj for pairs containing states of charge ec lower than the first threshold s1 and the (one) chosen battery temperature teck as a function of the result of the multiplication between the third coefficient cf3(ec, teck) determined for this pair and the known value vcj(s1, teck) of the parameter pj considered for the first threshold s1 and this chosen battery temperature teck. We then have vepj(ec, teck) = cf3(ec, teck) * vcj(s1, teck). In this case, the estimated values ​​vepj(ec, teck) become known values ​​complementing the known values ​​vcj(ec, teck), which advantageously makes it possible to have for each parameter pj and for each chosen battery temperature teck known values ​​vcj(ec, teck) for all states of charge ec, whether they are higher or lower than the first threshold s1.

[0049] Also for example, in sub-step 20 of step 10-70 the first threshold s1 can be between a state of charge ec equal to 15% and another state of charge ec' equal to 25%. As an illustrative example, this first threshold s1 can be equal to a state of charge ec of 20%.

[0050] It should also be noted that in the above we have considered that we only have known values ​​vcj(ec, teck) for a single chosen battery temperature teck. But it may happen that we have known values ​​vcj(ec, ted ) for a first chosen battery temperature ted (k = 1 ) and known values ​​vcj(ec, tec2) for a second chosen battery temperature tec2 (k = 2). For example, these first ted and second tec2 chosen battery temperatures may be respectively equal to 25°C and 45°C.

[0051] In this case, in sub-step 30 of step 10-70 one (for example the estimation device DE) can start by determining first cf4i(ec, te) and second cf42(ec, te) fourth coefficients. The first fourth coefficients cf4i(ec, te) are respectively equal to ratios between first coefficients cf1(ec, te) corresponding to pairs containing battery temperatures te and states of charge ec and first coefficients cf1(ec, ted) corresponding to pairs containing the first chosen battery temperature ted and the states of charge ec. We then have cf4i(ec, te) = cf1(ec, te) / cf1(ec, ted).The second fourth coefficients cf42(ec, te) are respectively equal to ratios between first coefficients cf1 (ec, te) corresponding to pairs containing battery temperatures and states of charge ec and first coefficients cf1 (ec, tec2) corresponding to pairs containing the second chosen battery temperature tec2 and the states of charge ec. We then have cf42(ec, te) = cf 1 (ec, te) / cf1 (ec, tec2).

[0052] Then, in this sub-step 30 of step 10-70 one (for example the estimation device DE) can determine each second coefficient cf2(ec, te) corresponding to a pair by dividing by two the sum between the first cf4i(ec, te) and second cf42(ec, te) fourth coefficients corresponding to this pair. We then have cf2(ec, te) = (cf4i(ec, te) + cf42(ec, te)) / 2.

[0053] But one could also use, for example, an Arrhenius law which is representative of the battery temperature dependence of the internal chemical reactions of the BC battery, and often used for battery aging models.

[0054] It will also be noted, as illustrated non-limitingly in Figure 2, that step 10-70 of the method may also comprise a sub-step 60 in which one (for example the estimation device DE) checks whether the estimated values ​​vpj(ec, te) have an acceptable estimation error. For this purpose, one (for example the estimation device DE) can compare simulation results of the electrical model with estimated values ​​vpj(ec, te) corresponding to selected stresses on the BC battery with corresponding real results obtained by actually subjecting the BC battery to these same stresses.

[0055] If the difference between the simulation results and the actual results is less than a second threshold s2, then we (for example the estimation device DE) can consider that the estimated values ​​vpj(ec, te) are usable. On the other hand, if the difference between the simulation results and the actual results is greater than or equal to the second threshold s2, then we (for example the estimation device DE) reject the estimated values ​​vpj(ec, te), and we will have to proceed differently to obtain usable estimated values ​​vpj(ec, te).

[0056] When such a verification is carried out, step 10-70 of the method may also comprise, as illustrated non-limitingly in FIG. 2, a sub-step 50 in which one (for example the estimation device DE) carries out the simulations of the electrical model with estimated values ​​vpj(ec, te) to obtain the simulation results. But this is not obligatory, because these simulation results could be determined by another computer, possibly external to the electronic equipment EE.

[0057] It will be noted that when we initially have known values ​​vcj(ec, teck) for two chosen battery temperatures ted and tec2, it is also possible to obtain in sub-steps 10 to 40 a first set of estimated values ​​vpji(ec, te) with the first chosen battery temperature ted, and a second set of estimated values ​​vpj2(ec, te) with the second chosen battery temperature tec2. Then, in sub-step 60 we (for example the estimation device DE) can determine first and second deviations respectively for the first set of estimated values ​​vpji(ec, te) and the simulation results and the second set of estimated values ​​vpj2(ec, te) and the simulation results. Then, we (for example the estimation device DE) can compare the first and second deviations with the second threshold s2, then decide not to retain among the first vpji(ec, te) and second vpj2(ec, te) sets only the one which presents the smallest deviation from the second threshold s2.

[0058] It will also be noted, as illustrated non-limitingly in Figure 2, that step 10-70 of the method may also comprise a sub-step 70 in which one (for example the estimation device DE) may estimate at least one other parameter, possibly from the electrical model or characterizing the operation of the battery BC (for example as a function of its internal chemistry), from the known values ​​vcj(ec, teck) and the complementary estimated values ​​vpj(ec, te) retained in sub-step 60. For example, this latter estimation may be done by extrapolation from these known values ​​vcj(ec, teck) and estimated values ​​vpj(ec, te). This makes it possible to approximate as best as possible the performance of the battery BC in an electrical model approach and to calibrate as accurately as possible power maps, for example useful during real tests of the battery BC or of the system comprising the latter (here a vehicle).

[0059] It will also be noted, as illustrated non-limitingly in Figure 1, that the calculator CE of the electronic equipment EE (or the calculator of the estimation device DE) may also comprise a mass memory MM1, in particular for storing the correspondence tables t1 and the known values ​​vcj(ec, teck), as well as any intermediate data involved in all its calculations and processing. Furthermore, this calculator CE of the electronic equipment EE (or the calculator of the estimation device DE) may also comprise an input interface IE for receiving at least the correspondence tables t1 and the known values ​​vcj(ec, teck), to use them in calculations or processing, possibly after having formatted and / or demodulated and / or amplified them, in a manner known per se, by means of a digital signal processor PR2.In addition, this CE calculator of the electronic equipment EE (or the calculator of the estimation device DE) can also include an IS output interface, in particular to deliver the values. estimates vpj(ec, te) of at least one parameter pj of the electrical model representing the battery BC.

[0060] It will also be noted that the invention also proposes a computer program product (or computer program) comprising a set of instructions which, when executed by processing means of the electronic circuit (or hardware) type, such as for example the processor PR1, is capable of implementing the estimation method described above to estimate values ​​vpj(ec, te) taken by at least one parameter pj of the electrical model representing the battery BC.

[0061] The invention offers several advantages, including:

[0062] - obtaining data defining precise parameters of the electrical model of the BC battery and following the physics of the latter (BC) as closely as possible, including for (very) low states of charge and low battery temperatures, thus enabling functional validations to be carried out correctly and the performances of the BC battery to be approximated as closely as possible (and in particular its power maps),

[0063] - it allows the cold test schedule of the BC battery to be respected in the event of unavailability of data defining parameters of the electrical model of this BC battery,

[0064] - it can allow a verification of the consistency of the parameters of the electrical model of the BC battery, including for (very) low states of charge and low battery temperatures.
