[0030] A battery management system (BMS) 120 can manage and / or control the state and / or operation of the battery module 110. For example, the battery management system 120 can manage and / or control the state and / or operation of the multiple battery cells 111, 112, 113, 114 included in the battery module 110. The battery management system 120 can manage charging and / or discharging of the battery module 110.

[0031] Furthermore, the battery management device 120 can monitor the voltage, current, temperature, etc. of the battery module 110 and / or each of the multiple battery cells 111, 112, 113, 114 included in the battery module 110.

The battery management device 120 can calculate parameters indicating the state of the battery module 110, such as SOC (State of Charge) and SOH (State of Health), based on the measured values ​​of the monitored voltage, current, temperature, etc.

[0032] The battery management unit 120 can control the operation of the relay 130. For example, the battery management unit 120 can short-circuit the relay 130 to supply power to a target device. In addition, the battery management unit 120 can short-circuit the relay 130 when a charging device is connected to the battery pack 100.

[0033] The battery management unit 120 can calculate the cell balancing time for each of the multiple battery cells 111, 112, 113, and 114. Here, the cell balancing time can be defined as the time required for balancing the battery cells. For example, the battery management unit 120 can calculate the cell balancing time based on the SOC (State of Charge), battery capacity, and balancing efficiency of each of the multiple battery cells 111, 112, 113, and 114.

[0034] The configuration and operation method of the above-mentioned battery management device 120 will be specifically described below with reference to FIGS. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a battery management device according to an embodiment disclosed in the present document. Fig. 3 is a diagram for generally explaining a battery management device according to an embodiment disclosed in the present document.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 2, the battery management device 120 may include a first controller 121, a second controller 122, and a communication unit 123.

[0036] In FIG. 2, the battery module 110 can include a plurality of battery cells 111, 112, 113, and 114, but the following description will be given taking the first battery cell 111 as an example.

[0037] 3, the first controller 121 may obtain status data including measurement values ​​measuring the status of the first battery cell 111. Here, the measurement values ​​may include cumulatively measured voltage, current, and temperature of the first battery cell 111. For example, the status data may include measurement values ​​including the measured voltage, current, and temperature of the first battery cell 111, and a State of Health (SOH) of the first battery cell 111 calculated based on the measurement values.

[0038] For example, the first controller 121 can obtain measurement values ​​measuring the voltage, current, and temperature of the first battery cell 111 from time tN to time t-1, and can obtain the SOH of the first battery cell 111 from time tN to time t-1 based on the measurement values, where N can be defined as any constant value indicating the amount of change in the variable t, which means time.

[0039] For example, the first controller 121 may calculate the voltage V of the first battery cell 111 at time tN. t-N , current I t-N , temperature T t-N The SOH value of the first battery cell 111 at time tN can be obtained, and the voltage V of the first battery cell 111 at time t-(N-1) can be obtained. t-(N-1) , current I t-(N-1) , temperature T t-(N-1) and obtain the SOH value of the first battery cell 111 at time t-(N-1). That is, the first controller 121 can obtain the past state data of the first battery cell 111 from time tN to time t-1. In addition, the first controller 121 calculates the current I of the first battery cell 111 measured at the current time t. t and temperature T t Measurements of can be obtained.

[0040] The second controller 122 can apply machine learning to at least a part of the state data to generate prediction data that predicts the state of the first battery cell 111. Here, the prediction data is the voltage V' of the first battery cell 111. t may include.

[0041] Specifically, the second controller 122 may apply the past data included in the status data and the current and temperature of the first battery cell 111 measured at the present time included in the status data to a machine learning model of a time series analysis structure to predict the voltage of the first battery cell 111. A time series may be defined as a sequence arranged at regular time intervals along the flow of time. The machine learning model of the time series analysis structure may include a long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm. The long short-term memory algorithm may be defined as a structure in which a recurrent neural network (RNN), which is one of the artificial neural networks, is improved to reflect long-term features. The long short-term memory algorithm is mainly applied to problems of time series data that show phenomena that change over time. The long short-term memory algorithm may predict what the n+1th data is for measured time series data of an object having a length of n.

[0042] The second controller 122 applies the voltage, current, temperature, and SOH data of the first battery cell 111 from time tN to time t−1 and the current and temperature data of the first battery cell 111 measured at the current time t to a long-term and short-term memory algorithm to obtain a voltage V′ of the first battery cell 111 at the current time t. t That is, the second controller 122 can apply the state data of the first battery cell 111 from time tN to time t−1 to the long-term and short-term memory algorithm to generate prediction data predicting the voltage of the first battery cell 111 at the current time t.

[0043] The second controller 122 can compare the predicted data with the status data to determine the status of the first battery cell 111. Specifically, the second controller 122 can obtain a predicted voltage V′ of the first battery cell 111 at time t. t and the measured voltage V of the first battery cell 111 at time t tThe anomaly detection algorithm can be applied to generate an anomaly score to analyze whether the battery is in an abnormal state. Here, the anomaly detection algorithm can be defined as an artificial intelligence model that analyzes the anomaly score of an individual that shows different patterns and characteristics from data defined as normal.

[0044] That is, the second controller 122 calculates the predicted voltage V′ of the first battery cell 111 at time t. t and the measured voltage V of the first battery cell 111 at time t t It is possible to generate an outlier that is the difference between

[0045] The second controller 122 can determine that the first battery cell 111 is in an abnormal state when the ratio of abnormal values ​​that are equal to or greater than a threshold among the abnormal values ​​generated during a predetermined time is equal to or greater than a certain ratio. That is, the second controller 122 can determine that the first battery cell 111 is in an abnormal state when the predicted voltage V' of the first battery cell 111 generated during a predetermined time is equal to or greater than a certain ratio. t and the measured voltage V of the first battery cell 111. t When the ratio of the abnormal value exceeding the threshold value among the abnormal values, which are the differences between the first battery cell 111 and the battery cell 112, is maintained for several seconds to several tens of seconds, the first battery cell 111 can be determined to be in an abnormal state.

[0046] When the first battery cell 111 is determined to be in an abnormal state, the second controller 122 can compress the state data acquired during a predetermined time before and after the point in time when the first battery cell 111 is determined to be in an abnormal state.

[0047] The communication unit 123 can transmit status data to the server 200 based on the result of determining the status of the first battery cell 111 of the second controller 122. That is, when it is determined that the first battery cell 111 is in an abnormal state, the communication unit 123 can transmit the compressed status data of the first battery cell 111 to the server 200 using an OTA (Over The Air) technology. Here, the OTA technology is a firmware update method, and can be defined as a technology for updating firmware wirelessly using Wi-Fi (registered trademark) or the like without connecting to a computer.

[0048] As described above, the battery management device 120 and battery inspection system 1000 according to one embodiment disclosed in this document can transmit battery data to a server when a battery is determined to be in an abnormal state, thereby improving the diagnostic efficiency of the battery management device 120 and preventing unnecessary power supply from the battery management device 120.

[0049] In addition, the battery management device 120 and the battery inspection system 1000 first analyze battery data using a voltage prediction model designed in the battery management device, and if an abnormality is detected, the battery data is transmitted to a server with abundant computing resources for precise analysis, thereby precisely analyzing the abnormality in the battery. At the same time, the data transmitted to the server is drastically reduced, thereby reducing communication resources and alleviating the storage and computing power of the cloud computer included in the server.

[0050] Furthermore, the battery management device 120 and the battery inspection system 1000 transmit the minimum necessary battery data to the server without data loss, thereby reducing infrastructure investment costs and network costs for the server.

[0051] Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a battery inspection system according to an embodiment disclosed in the present document, and Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation method of the battery inspection system according to an embodiment disclosed in the present document.

[0052] The configuration and operation of the battery inspection system 1000 will be described below with reference to FIGS. Referring to FIG. 4, a battery inspection system 1000 according to one embodiment disclosed in this document may include a battery management device 120 and a server 200.

[0053] The battery management device 120 may be substantially the same as the battery management device 120 described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, and therefore will be described below in brief to avoid duplication of description.

[0054] 5, the operation method of the battery inspection system includes a step (S101) in which the battery management unit 120 acquires status data including a measurement value obtained by measuring the status of the first battery cell 111, a step (S102) in which the battery management unit 120 applies the status data to a long-term and short-term memory algorithm to generate prediction data, a step (S103) in which the battery management unit 120 inputs the prediction data and the status data into an anomaly detection algorithm to determine the status of the first battery cell 111, a step (S104) in which the battery management unit 120 determines whether the first battery cell 111 is in an abnormal state, and if the first battery cell 111 is in an abnormal state, the battery management unit 120 The method may include a step of transmitting status data of the cell 111 to the server 200 (S105), a step of the server 200 extracting false alarms (S106), a step of the server 200 determining whether the frequency of false alarms is equal to or greater than a threshold frequency (S107), and if the frequency of false alarms is equal to or greater than the threshold frequency, a step of the server 200 measuring the SOH value of the first battery cell 111 and the threshold of the anomaly detection algorithm and transmitting them to the battery management device 120 (S108), and a step of the battery management device 120 applying the SOH value and threshold received from the server 200 to the long-term and short-term memory algorithm and the anomaly detection algorithm (S109).

[0055] Steps S101 to S109 will be specifically described below. In step S101, the battery management unit 120 can acquire status data including measurement values ​​obtained by measuring the status of the first battery cell 111. Here, the status data can include measurement values ​​including the measured voltage, current, and temperature of the first battery cell 111, and a State of Health (SOH) of the first battery cell 111 calculated based on the measurement values. That is, the battery management unit 120 can acquire past status data of the first battery cell 111 from time tN to time t-1. In addition, the battery management unit 120 can acquire measurement values ​​of the current and temperature of the first battery cell 111 measured at the current time t.

[0056] In step S102, the battery management unit 120 can apply machine learning to at least a part of the state data of the first battery cell 111, and generate prediction data that predicts the state of the first battery cell 111.

[0057] For example, in step S102, the battery management unit 120 applies the voltage, current, temperature, and SOH data of the first battery cell 111 from time tN to time t-1 and the current and temperature data of the first battery cell 111 measured at the current time t to a long-term and short-term memory algorithm to obtain a voltage V' of the first battery cell 111 at the current time t. t can be predicted.

[0058] In step S103, the battery management unit 120 compares the predicted data with the state data to determine the state of the first battery cell 111. Specifically, the battery management unit 120 calculates the predicted voltage V′ of the first battery cell 111 at time t by t and the measured voltage V of the first battery cell 111 at time t t The above is applied to the anomaly detection algorithm to generate an anomaly score, which can be used to analyze whether the battery is in an abnormal state.

[0059] In step S104, the battery management unit 120 can determine that the first battery cell 111 is in an abnormal state if the rate of abnormal values ​​that are equal to or greater than a threshold among the abnormal values ​​generated during a predetermined time period is equal to or greater than a certain rate.

[0060] In step S105, when the first battery cell 111 is determined to be in an abnormal state, the battery management device 120 can compress status data acquired during a predetermined time before and after the point at which the first battery cell 111 is determined to be in an abnormal state, and transmit the compressed status data to the server 200.

[0061] The server 200 may be defined as a determination device that receives the status data of the first battery cell 111 and determines whether or not the first battery cell 111 is defective. The server 200 may include, for example, cloud computing technology.

[0062] The server 200 may include an artificial intelligence model that extracts a false alarm, which is a case where the first battery cell 111 is determined to be in an abnormal state when in fact it is not, based on the status data of the first battery cell 111 determined by the battery management device 120.

[0063] In step S106, if the battery management unit 120 compresses and transmits to the server 200 the status data of the first battery cell 111 acquired during a predetermined time before and after the time when the battery management unit 120 determines that the battery cell is in an abnormal state, the server 200 can receive the compressed status data transmitted by the battery management unit 120.

[0064] In step S106, the server 200 analyzes the compressed data received from the battery management device 120, that is, the status data acquired during a predetermined time period before and after the point at which the abnormal state is determined, and can extract a false alarm, which is a case where the first battery cell 111 is determined to be in an abnormal state even though it is not actually in an abnormal state.

[0065] In step S107, the server 200 can determine whether the frequency of false alarms is equal to or greater than a threshold frequency. In step S108, if the frequency of false alarms is greater than or equal to the threshold frequency, the server 200 may recalculate the SOH value of the first battery cell 111 included in the battery management unit 120, reset the threshold of the abnormality detection algorithm, and transmit it to the battery management unit 120.

[0066] That is, in step S108, the server 200 can analyze the cause of the false alarm for the first battery cell 111 based on the SOH value of the first battery cell 111 input into the long-term and short-term memory algorithm of the battery management unit 120 and the threshold value of the abnormality detection algorithm.

[0067] The long and short term memory algorithm of the battery management device 120 receives input of measured values ​​of the voltage, current, and temperature of the first battery cell 111 as past data included in the status data of the first battery cell 111, and the SOH value of the first battery cell 111 based on the measured values. Therefore, if an error occurs in the process in which the battery management device 120 calculates the SOH value of the first battery cell 111 based on the voltage, current, and temperature of the first battery cell 111, an error may occur in the long and short term memory algorithm, and such an error may generate a false alarm in the battery inspection system 1000. Therefore, the server 200 may recalculate the SOH value of the first battery cell 111 input to the battery management device 120 and transmit it to the battery management device 120.

[0068] In addition, in step S108, the server 200 can analyze the cause of the false alarm for the first battery cell 111 based on the threshold value of the abnormality detection algorithm of the battery management unit 120.

[0069] The battery management unit 120 uses an abnormality detection algorithm to calculate the predicted voltage V′ of the first battery cell 111 at time t. t and the measured voltage V of the first battery cell 111 at time t tand generates an abnormal value which is a difference between the abnormal value and the threshold value, and if the ratio of the abnormal values ​​which are equal to or greater than the threshold value is equal to or greater than a certain ratio, the first battery cell 111 can be determined to be in an abnormal state. Therefore, if the threshold value for classifying the abnormal value as an abnormal value by the battery management unit 120 is not appropriate, an error may occur in the battery management unit 120's determination of the abnormal state of the first battery cell 111, and such an error may generate a false alarm in the battery inspection system 1000. Therefore, the server 200 may re-set the threshold value of the abnormality detection algorithm input to the battery management unit 120 and transmit the re-set threshold value to the battery management unit 120.

[0070] In step S109, when the battery management unit 120 receives the SOH value of the first battery cell 111 and the threshold value of the abnormality detection algorithm from the server 200, it can update the long-term and short-term memory algorithm and the abnormality detection algorithm.
