As is clear, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The data used in this way can be exchanged when appropriate, and the embodiments of the present application provide convenience for implementation in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. And the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. generally belong to the same type and do not limit the number of objects. For example, the first object may be one or more. And in the description and claims, "and / or" represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally represents that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0015] In the following, referring to the drawings, the early warning method for battery consistency provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail according to specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0016] FIG. 1 is a flowchart of the steps of the early warning method for battery consistency provided by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the method may include the following.

[0017] In step 101, obtain the charge and discharge amount of each cell in the cell group of the battery, and obtain the equalization consumption power of each said cell, and obtain the equalization operation rate of each said cell.

[0018] Note that the cell group of the battery includes a plurality of cells. For example, the cell group of the battery may be a battery module or a battery cluster.

[0019] The charge-discharge amount of the cell is the sum of the charge amount of the cell and the discharge amount of the cell. Here, the charge amount of the cell is the sum of the single charge amounts each time the cell is charged, and the discharge amount of the cell is the single discharge amount each time the cell is discharged. The equalization power consumption of the cell is the sum of the single power consumptions of each equalization operation of the cell. The equalization operation rate of the cell is the ratio of the number of equalization operations of the cell to the number of charge-discharge cycles of the cell. Here, the number of charge-discharge cycles of the cell is the sum of the number of charge cycles and the number of discharge cycles of the cell.

[0020] In some embodiments, each battery module has an equalization module. The equalization module is used to perform an equalization operation on the cells in the battery module. The battery management system (BMS) of the battery collects the collected data such as the voltage, current, temperature, etc. of each cell in the battery, and controls the operation of the equalization module based on the collected data. Here, the types of equalization operations include active equalization and passive equalization. The equalization operation of active equalization realizes energy equalization between cells by means of energy (electrical energy) transfer. For example, the energy of a high-energy cell is transferred to a low-energy cell. The equalization operation of passive equalization realizes energy equalization between cells by means of consuming energy. For example, through parallel resistors and switch control, the energy in a cell with a relatively high voltage is consumed by the resistor, thereby reducing the voltage of the cell.

[0021] The battery management system of the battery collects battery data, including the type of equalization operation, the cell number, the charge-discharge amount of the cell, etc.

[0022] In some embodiments, the formula for the equalization power consumption of the cell is shown below. JPEG0007850849000001.jpg22132 Here, L is the equalization power consumption of the cell, m is the number of equalization operations of the cell (i.e., the number of activations of the equalization module for the cell), ΔI i is the single power consumption of the i-th equalization operation of the cell, and i is a positive integer not exceeding m.

[0023] The formula for the charge and discharge rate of the cell is shown below: JPEG0007850849000002.jpg30154 Here, E is the charge / discharge rate of the cell, n is the sum of the number of charge and discharge cycles of the cell, and Δe k k is the charge amount of the cell at its kth charge or the discharge amount of the cell at its kth discharge, where k is a positive integer less than or equal to n.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present invention, the charge and discharge amount of each cell in the cell group of the battery is obtained, the equalization power consumption amount of each cell is obtained, and the equalization operation rate of each cell is obtained. Furthermore, based on the charge and discharge amount of the cell and the equalization power consumption amount of the cell, the equalization loss rate of the cell is obtained, and then it is determined whether or not the consistency of the cell is abnormal based on the equalization loss rate of the cell and the equalization operation rate of the cell.

[0025] In step 102, the equalization loss rate of the cell is obtained based on the charge and discharge amount of the cell and the equalization electricity consumption of the cell.

[0026] Specifically, the cell equalization loss rate is the ratio of the cell's equalization electricity consumption to the cell's charge / discharge rate.

[0027] In some examples, the formula for the cell equalization loss rate is shown below: JPEG0007850849000003.jpg28154 Here, α is the equalization loss rate of the cell, L is the equalization electricity consumption of the cell, and E is the charge / discharge amount of the cell.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present invention, the equalization loss rate of the cell is obtained based on the charge / discharge amount of the cell and the equalization electricity consumption of the cell, and it is determined whether or not the cell consistency is abnormal based on the equalization loss rate of the cell.

[0029] In step 103, if the equalization loss rate of the cell is greater than a first preset threshold, or the equalization operation rate of the cell is greater than a second preset threshold, it is determined that the consistency of the cell is abnormal, and early warning information for the cell is generated.

[0030] Furthermore, if the cell equalization loss rate is below a first preset threshold and the cell equalization operation rate is below a second preset threshold, it is indicated that the cell consistency is normal.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present invention, if the cell equalization loss rate is greater than a first preset threshold, or the cell equalization operation rate is greater than a second preset threshold, it is determined that the cell integrity is abnormal, and early alarm information for the cell is generated, so that the operator can immediately become aware of and take action, further reducing the battery failure rate.

[0032] Specifically, a predetermined cycle is set, and at each predetermined cycle, the charge / discharge amount of each cell in the battery cell group within the predetermined cycle is obtained, the equalization power consumption amount of each cell within the predetermined cycle is obtained, and the equalization operation rate of each cell within the predetermined cycle is obtained. Furthermore, based on the charge / discharge amount and the equalization power consumption amount of each cell within the predetermined cycle, the equalization loss rate of each cell within the predetermined cycle is obtained. In this way, the consistency of the cell is judged once at each predetermined cycle, and if the equalization loss rate of each cell within the predetermined cycle is greater than a first predetermined threshold, or if the equalization operation rate of each cell within the predetermined cycle is greater than a second predetermined threshold, it is determined that the cell consistency is abnormal, and early warning information for the cell is generated.

[0033] As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, first, the charge and discharge amount of each cell in the battery cell group is obtained, the equalization power consumption amount of each cell is obtained, and the equalization operation rate of each cell is obtained. Subsequently, the equalization loss rate of the cell is obtained based on the charge and discharge amount of the cell and the equalization power consumption amount of the cell. Furthermore, if the equalization loss rate of the cell is greater than a first preset threshold, or the equalization operation rate of the cell is greater than a second preset threshold, it is determined that the cell integrity is abnormal, and early alarm information for the cell is generated, so that the operator can immediately know and take action, and further reduce the battery failure rate.

[0034] Figure 2 is a flowchart of the specific steps of the early warning method for battery integrity provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in Figure 2, the method may include the following:

[0035] In step 201, the charge and discharge amounts of each cell in the battery cell group are obtained, and the equalized power consumption amount of each cell is obtained.

[0036] The implementation of this step is similar to the implementation process of step 101 above, and therefore its explanation is omitted here.

[0037] Selectively, in some embodiments, the step of obtaining the charge / discharge amount of each cell in a group of battery cells includes the following substeps.

[0038] In substep 2011, the amount of a single charge that the cell charges each time is obtained, and the amount of a single discharge that the cell discharges each time is obtained.

[0039] The amount of charge in a single charge of a cell is the difference in the amount of electricity obtained by subtracting the amount of electricity at the start of a single charge from the amount of electricity at the end of the single charge of the cell.

[0040] The amount of discharge in a single cell discharge is the difference in electrical charge obtained by subtracting the amount of electrical charge at the start of the single cell discharge from the amount of electrical charge at the end of the single cell discharge.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, the amount of charge and discharge of the cell is obtained by acquiring the amount of charge the cell receives each time it is charged and the amount of discharge the cell receives each time it is discharged, and then adding the amounts of charge and discharge of each cell together.

[0042] In substep 2012, the charge and discharge amounts of each cell are added together to obtain the charge and discharge amounts of the cell.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, the charge and discharge amounts of the cell are obtained by adding the charge and discharge amounts of each cell, and the equalization loss rate of the cell is obtained based on the charge and discharge amounts of the cell and the equalization electricity consumption of the cell.

[0044] By executing substeps 2011 and 2012, it is possible to obtain the charge and discharge amounts of the cell.

[0045] Selectively, in some embodiments, the step of obtaining the equalized electricity consumption of each of the cells includes the following substeps:

[0046] In substep 2013, the single-cycle electricity consumption for each equalization operation of the cell is obtained.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the amount of electricity consumed for each equalization operation of the cell is obtained, and the amount of electricity consumed for each equalization operation of the cell is then added to obtain the total amount of electricity consumed for equalization.

[0048] Selectively, in some embodiments, substep 2013 may include the following branched substeps.

[0049] In the branched substep 2013a, if the type of cell equalization operation is passive equalization, the first electric quantity of the cell is acquired at the start time of the cell equalization operation, and the second electric quantity of the cell is acquired at the end time of the cell equalization operation.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the type of cell equalization operation is passive equalization, a first electrical quantity of the cell is obtained at the start time of the cell equalization operation, and a second electrical quantity of the cell is obtained at the end time of the cell equalization operation. Furthermore, the absolute value of the difference between the first electrical quantity and the second electrical quantity is taken as the single electrical quantity consumed by the cell equalization operation.

[0051] In the branched substep 2013b, the absolute value of the difference between the first amount of electricity and the second amount of electricity is taken as the single amount of electricity consumed for the cell equalization operation.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present invention, the absolute value of the difference between the first and second electrical quantities is taken as the single-cycle electricity consumption for the cell equalization operation, and the total electricity consumption for cell equalization is obtained by adding the single-cycle electricity consumption for each cell equalization operation.

[0053] In some examples, the formula for the single-cycle electricity consumption of the cell equalization operation is shown below: JPEG0007850849000004.jpg28170

[0054] By performing branched substep 2013b from branched substep 2013a, it is possible to obtain the single-cycle electricity consumption of a cell equalization operation when the type of cell equalization operation is passive equalization.

[0055] Selectively, in some embodiments, substep 2013 further includes the following branched substeps.

[0056] In the branched substep 2013c, if the type of equalization operation for the cell is active equalization, the third charge of the cell and the fourth charge of the other cells are obtained at the start time of the equalization operation for the cell, and the fifth charge of the cell and the sixth charge of the other cells are obtained at the end time of the equalization operation for the cell.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, when the type of cell equalization operation is active equalization, the third charge of the cell and the fourth charge of the other cells are obtained at the start time of the cell equalization operation, and the fifth charge of the cell and the sixth charge of the other cells are obtained at the end time of the cell equalization operation, and further, the fifth charge is subtracted from the third charge to obtain the third difference, and the fourth charge is subtracted from the sixth charge to obtain the fourth difference.

[0058] In the branched substep 2013d, the third difference is obtained by subtracting the fifth electric quantity from the third electric quantity, and the fourth difference is obtained by subtracting the fourth electric quantity from the sixth electric quantity.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present invention, the third difference is obtained by subtracting the fifth electric quantity from the third electric quantity, the fourth difference is obtained by subtracting the fourth electric quantity from the sixth electric quantity, the fifth difference is obtained by subtracting the fourth difference from the third difference, and the value obtained by dividing the fifth difference by 2 is taken as the single electric consumption amount for the cell equalization operation.

[0060] In the branched substep 2013e, the fourth difference is subtracted from the third difference to obtain the fifth difference, and the value obtained by dividing the fifth difference by 2 is taken as the single-cycle electricity consumption for the cell equalization operation. Here, the other cells have lower electrical energy than the first cell, and the cell equalization operation causes the electrical energy of the first cell to flow to the other cells.

[0061] Furthermore, in a single active equalization operation, if the energy of one cell is higher than the energy of other cells, the active equalization operation transfers energy from the high-energy cell to the other low-energy cells. The single electricity consumption for the equalization operation of the other low-energy cells is obtained by dividing the fifth difference by 2, and is equal to the single electricity consumption for the equalization operation of the high-energy cell.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present invention, the fifth difference is obtained by subtracting the fourth difference from the third difference, and the value obtained by dividing the fifth difference by 2 is taken as the single-cycle electricity consumption for the cell equalization operation. Furthermore, the single-cycle electricity consumption for each cell equalization operation is added to obtain the total electricity consumption for cell equalization.

[0063] In some examples, the formula for the third difference in the i-th equalization operation is shown below. JPEG0007850849000005.jpg15139 Here, Δd i d0 is the third difference of the i-th equalization operation (i.e., the change in the amount of electricity in the cell that discharges during the equalization operation), d0 is the third amount of electricity of the i-th equalization operation, and d1 is the fifth amount of electricity of the i-th equalization operation.

[0064] The formula for the fourth difference in the i-th equalization operation is shown below: JPEG0007850849000006.jpg15130 Here, ΔC i c0 is the fourth difference of the i-th equalization operation (i.e., the change in the amount of charge of the other cells being charged in the equalization operation), c1 is the sixth amount of charge of the i-th equalization operation, and c0 is the fourth amount of charge of the i-th equalization operation.

[0065] The fifth difference in the i-th equalization operation is Δd i -Δc i The formula for the single electricity consumption of the i-th equalization operation of a cell is shown below. JPEG0007850849000007.jpg45170

[0066] By performing branched substep 2013e from branched substep 2013c, it is possible to obtain the single-cycle electricity consumption of a cell equalization operation when the type of cell equalization operation is active equalization.

[0067] In substep 2014, the single-cycle electricity consumption for each equalization operation of the cell is added up to obtain the total electricity consumption for equalization.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present invention, the amount of electricity consumed during each equalization operation of the cell is added up to obtain the amount of electricity consumed during the equalization operation of the cell, and further, the equalization loss rate of the cell is obtained based on the amount of charge and discharge of the cell and the amount of electricity consumed during the equalization operation of the cell.

[0069] By executing substeps 2013 and 2014, it is possible to obtain the equalized electricity consumption of the cell.

[0070] In step 202, the equalization loss rate of the cell is obtained based on the charge and discharge amount of the cell and the equalization electricity consumption of the cell.

[0071] The implementation of this step is similar to the implementation process of step 102 above, and therefore its explanation is omitted here.

[0072] In step 203, the number of operations for equalizing the cells is obtained.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of operations for the cell equalization operation is obtained, and then the number of charge-discharge operations for the cell is obtained. After that, the number of operations is divided by the number of charge-discharge operations to obtain the cell equalization operation rate.

[0074] In step 204, the number of charge cycles and discharge cycles of the cell are obtained, and the number of charge cycles and the number of discharge cycles are added together to obtain the total number of charge-discharge cycles of the cell.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of charge cycles and discharge cycles of the cell are obtained, and the number of charge cycles and discharge cycles are added together to obtain the number of charge / discharge cycles of the cell. Furthermore, the number of operations is divided by the number of charge / discharge cycles to obtain the equalization operation rate of the cell.

[0076] In step 205, the number of operations is divided by the number of charge-discharge cycles to obtain the equalization operation rate of the cell.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present invention, the cell equalization operation rate is obtained by dividing the number of operations by the number of charge-discharge cycles, and it is determined whether or not the cell consistency is abnormal based on the cell equalization operation rate.

[0078] In step 206, if the equalization loss rate of the cell is greater than a first preset threshold, or the equalization operation rate of the cell is greater than a second preset threshold, it is determined that the consistency of the cell is abnormal, and early warning information for the cell is generated.

[0079] The implementation of this step is similar to the implementation process of step 103 above, and therefore its explanation is omitted here.

[0080] Selectively, in some embodiments, the method further includes the following steps:

[0081] In step 207, the first average value of the equalization loss rate of the cells in the cell group is obtained.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present invention, by obtaining the first average value of the equalization loss rate of cells in a group of cells, the product of the first average value and a predetermined coefficient is determined as the first predetermined threshold.

[0083] Specifically, in some examples, the formula for the first mean value of the equalization loss rate of cells in a group of cells is shown below: JPEG0007850849000008.jpg36170

[0084] In step 208, the product of the first mean value and a predetermined coefficient is determined as the first predetermined threshold.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present invention, the product of a first average value and a preset coefficient is determined as a first preset threshold, and further, the consistency of the cells is determined by comparing the equalization loss rate of the cells with the first preset threshold.

[0086] By executing steps 207 to 208, it is possible to obtain the first pre-set threshold.

[0087] Selectively, in some embodiments, the method further includes the following steps:

[0088] In step 209, the target cell in the cell group is determined using a pre-configured policy.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present invention, a target cell in a group of cells is determined by using a pre-configured policy, and the first difference between the target equalization loss rate of the target cell and the first mean value is obtained.

[0090] Selectively, in some embodiments, step 209 may include the following substeps.

[0091] In substep 2091, the cells in the cell group are sorted in ascending order of the equalization loss rate, and the order of each cell in the cell group is obtained.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present invention, the order of each cell in the cell group is obtained by sorting the cells in the cell group in order of increasing equalization loss rate, and further, the first cell in the cell group whose order is greater than a preset order threshold is obtained.

[0093] In substep 2092, a first cell is obtained from the cell group whose order is greater than a preset order threshold.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present invention, by acquiring a first cell in the cell group whose order is greater than a preset order threshold, the first cell with the smallest equalization loss rate among the first cells is further determined as the target cell.

[0095] In substep 2093, the first cell with the smallest equalization loss rate among the first cells is determined to be the target cell.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first cell with the smallest equalization loss rate among the first cells is determined as the target cell, and the first difference between the target equalization loss rate of the target cell and the first average value is obtained.

[0097] For example, a group of cells includes three cells, namely cell A1 (where the equalization loss rate of cell A1 is equalization loss rate B1), cell A2 (where the equalization loss rate of cell A2 is equalization loss rate B2), and cell A3 (where the equalization loss rate of cell A3 is equalization loss rate B3). Here, equalization loss rate B1 is smaller than equalization loss rate B2, and equalization loss rate B2 is smaller than equalization loss rate B3. So, if we sort the cells in the group of cells in ascending order of equalization loss rate, the sorted cells are, in order, cell A1, cell A2, and cell A3. The order of cell A1 is order C1, the order of cell A2 is order C2, and the order of cell A2 is order C2. Here, order C1 is smaller than order C2, order C2 is smaller than order C3, order C1 is smaller than a preset order threshold, order C2 is larger than a preset order threshold, and order C3 is larger than a preset order threshold.

[0098] Since order C2 is greater than the preset order threshold and order C3 is greater than the preset order threshold, cells A2 and A3 are both the first cell, and since the equalization loss rate B2 is less than the equalization loss rate B3, in the first cell (cells A2 and A3), cell A2 is determined to be the target cell.

[0099] By executing substeps 2091 through 2093, it is possible to obtain the target cell.

[0100] Selectively, in some embodiments, step 209 may include the following substeps.

[0101] In substep 2094, a pre-configured outlier detection algorithm is used to detect the equalization loss rate of the cells in the cell group, and a second cell with an abnormal equalization loss rate in the cell group is acquired.

[0102] Specifically, the pre-configured outlier detection algorithm is used to detect outliers or anomalies. The pre-configured outlier detection algorithm may be a cluster-based outlier detection method, and may be one of the following: the BIRCH (Balanced Iterative Reducing and Clustering using Hierarchies) algorithm and the DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) algorithm.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present invention, the equalization loss rate of cells in a cell group is detected by using a pre-set outlier detection algorithm, a second cell with an abnormal equalization loss rate in the cell group is acquired, and the second cell with the smallest equalization loss rate among the second cells is determined as the target cell.

[0104] In substep 2095, the second cell with the smallest equalization loss rate among the second cells is determined to be the target cell.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present invention, the second cell with the smallest equalization loss rate among the second cells is determined as the target cell, and the first difference between the target equalization loss rate of the target cell and the first mean value is obtained.

[0106] By executing substeps 2094 and 2095, it is possible to obtain the target cell.

[0107] In step 210, the first difference between the target equalization loss rate of the target cell and the first mean value is obtained.

[0108] In the embodiment of the present invention, a first difference is obtained between the target equalization loss rate of the target cell and the first mean value, and then the first difference is divided by the first mean value to obtain a preset coefficient.

[0109] In step 211, the first difference is divided by the first mean value to obtain the preset coefficient.

[0110] In the embodiment of the present invention, a predetermined coefficient is obtained by dividing the first difference by the first mean value, and the product of the first mean value and the predetermined coefficient is determined as the first predetermined threshold value.

[0111] By performing steps 209 through 211, it is possible to obtain pre-set coefficients.

[0112] Selectively, in some embodiments, the method further includes the following steps:

[0113] In step 212, the amount of reduction is obtained based on a preset reduction rate and the usage time of the cell group.

[0114] In the embodiment of the present invention, a reduction amount is obtained based on a preset reduction rate and the usage time of the cell group, and a second difference is obtained by subtracting the reduction amount from a preset initial sequence threshold.

[0115] In step 213, the reduction amount is subtracted from the pre-set initial order threshold to obtain the second difference.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present invention, a second difference is obtained by subtracting a reduction amount from a preset initial order threshold, and if the second difference is smaller than a preset final order threshold, the second difference is determined to be the preset order threshold.

[0117] In step 214, if the second difference is smaller than the preset final order threshold, the second difference is determined to be the preset order threshold.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present invention, if the second difference is smaller than a preset final order threshold, the second difference is determined as the preset order threshold, thereby obtaining a first cell in the cell group whose order is greater than the preset order threshold.

[0119] In step 215, if the second difference is greater than or equal to the final order threshold, the final order threshold is determined as the preset order threshold.

[0120] Furthermore, if the second difference is greater than or equal to the final order threshold, it indicates that the usage time of the cell group has reached the desired time.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present invention, if the second difference is greater than or equal to the final order threshold, the final order threshold is determined as a preset order threshold, thereby obtaining a first cell in the cell group whose order is greater than the preset order threshold.

[0122] By executing steps 212 to 215, it is possible to obtain a pre-set sequential threshold.

[0123] Selectively, in some embodiments, the method further includes the following steps:

[0124] In step 216, the second mean value of the cell equalization operation rate in the cell group is obtained.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present invention, by obtaining a second mean value of the cell equalization operation rate in the cell group, the product of the second mean value and a predetermined coefficient is determined as a second predetermined threshold value.

[0126] Specifically, in some examples, the formula for the second mean value of the cell equalization rate in a group of cells is shown below: JPEG0007850849000009.jpg38170 is a positive integer less than or equal to p.

[0127] In step 217, the product of the second mean value and a predetermined coefficient is determined as the second predetermined threshold.

[0128] In the embodiment of the present invention, the product of a second mean value and a predetermined coefficient is determined as a second predetermined threshold, and by comparing the cell equalization rate with the second predetermined threshold, it is determined whether or not the cell consistency is abnormal.

[0129] By performing steps 216 to 217, it is possible to obtain a second pre-set threshold.

[0130] In some embodiments, the types of early warning information include secondary early warnings and primary early warnings, each with two preset coefficients, for example, the preset coefficient corresponding to a secondary early warning is 60%, and the preset coefficient corresponding to a primary early warning is 80%, and it is possible to determine whether or not to generate early warning information for a primary early warning, as well as whether or not to generate early warning information for a secondary early warning, that is, after obtaining the target cell by executing substeps 2091 to 2093, the first difference between the target equalization loss rate of the target cell and the first mean value is obtained, and further The first difference is divided by the first mean value to obtain a preset coefficient, and then the product of the first mean value and the preset coefficient is determined as the first preset threshold, and the product of the second mean value and the preset coefficient is determined as the second preset threshold. If the cell equalization loss rate is greater than the first preset threshold, or the cell equalization operation rate is greater than the second preset threshold, it is determined that the cell consistency is abnormal, and early warning information is generated for the cell type being a secondary early warning. The early warning information for the secondary early warning and the cell number with abnormal consistency are displayed on the display screen to alert the operator to take action. After obtaining the target cell by executing substeps 2094 to 2095, the first difference between the target equalization loss rate of the target cell and the first mean value is obtained, and then the first difference is divided by the first mean value to obtain a preset coefficient. Subsequently, the product of the first mean value and the preset coefficient is determined as the first preset threshold, and the product of the second mean value and the preset coefficient is determined as the second preset threshold. If the equalization loss rate of the cell is greater than the first preset threshold, or the equalization operation rate of the cell is greater than the second preset threshold, it is determined that the cell consistency is abnormal, and the cell type is a primary early warning. The system generates a notification and displays the number of the cell with abnormal consistency along with the early warning information of the primary early warning on the display screen, alerting the operator to take action. Typically, the operator inspects the cell with abnormal consistency. The inspection method involves stopping charging and discharging the cell, allowing the cell to settle completely, measuring the cell voltage, and obtaining the difference between the cell voltage and the rated voltage. If the difference between the cell voltage and the rated voltage exceeds the standard range, an electrical replenishment operation is required. This involves connecting a power supply to the positive and negative terminals of the cell that needs inspection, calculating the charging voltage, current, etc., based on the voltage difference, and remeasuring the cell voltage after charging is complete. The difference between the cell voltage and the rated voltage must be within the standard range.

[0131] Furthermore, in each pre-set update cycle (for example, a pre-set update cycle is 1 month), the first pre-set threshold and the second pre-set threshold are updated once. For example, when acquiring a target cell by executing substeps 2091 to 2093, in each pre-set update cycle, the current decrement is obtained based on the pre-set decrement rate and the current usage time of the cell. Then, the current decrement is subtracted from the pre-set initial order threshold to obtain the current second difference. Subsequently, if the current second difference is smaller than the pre-set final order threshold, the current second difference is determined as the current pre-set order threshold. If the current second difference is greater than or equal to the final order threshold, the final order threshold is determined as the current The system determines a pre-set order threshold, then selects the first cell in the current cell group whose order is greater than the pre-set order threshold, and determines the first cell among the current first cells that has the smallest equalization loss rate as the target cell. It then obtains the first difference between the target equalization loss rate of the current target cell and the first mean value, divides the current first difference by the current first mean value to obtain the current pre-set coefficient, and then determines the product of the current first mean value and the current pre-set coefficient as the current first pre-set threshold, and determines the product of the current second mean value and the current pre-set coefficient as the current second pre-set threshold, thereby updating the first and second pre-set thresholds.

[0132] In related technologies, determining whether a cell is abnormal relies solely on basic data such as voltage, current, and temperature. Early warnings, based primarily on the detection of voltage, current, and temperature anomalies, are incomplete and inaccurate in their evaluation of cell integrity, resulting in low accuracy and timeliness of early warnings, and preventing operators from immediately detecting and addressing potential battery failures.

[0133] The embodiment of this invention utilizes data information such as the number of equalization operations performed by the equalization module, the type of equalization operation, the charge / discharge amount of the cells, and the amount of electricity consumed by the cells during equalization to determine whether or not the cell integrity is abnormal, thereby enabling a more comprehensive evaluation of the cell integrity, improving the accuracy of the cell integrity evaluation, further improving the accuracy and immediacy of early warnings, allowing operators to immediately detect and address potential battery failures, prompting operators to perform inspections and maintenance immediately, ensuring high efficiency and safe operation of the battery system, and extending the battery's service life.

[0134] Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention can immediately detect inter-cell consistency problems based on data information such as the number of equalization operations of the equalization module, the type of equalization operation, the charge / discharge amount of the cells, and the amount of electricity consumed by the cells during equalization, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the entire cell group and improving the performance and service life of the cell group. Furthermore, the embodiment of the present invention can identify potential cell failure risks in advance, issue early warning notifications to operators, and avoid serious problems caused by cell failures. In addition, by providing early warnings to operators, the embodiment of the present invention can enable operators to perform maintenance and inspections immediately, delaying the aging process of the battery, extending the service life of the battery, reducing replacement costs, improving the overall reliability of the battery system, and reducing downtime and maintenance costs due to battery problems. Moreover, the embodiment of the present invention can provide more detailed early warning information and inspection advice, helping operators create scientific maintenance plans and improving operational and maintenance efficiency.

Subsequently, the equalization loss rate of the cell is obtained based on the charge and discharge amount of the cell and the equalization power consumption amount of the cell. Furthermore, if the equalization loss rate of the cell is greater than a first preset threshold, or the equalization operation rate of the cell is greater than a second preset threshold, it is determined that the cell integrity is abnormal, and early alarm information for the cell is generated, so that the operator can immediately know and take action, and further reduce the battery failure rate.
