[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This disclosure is based on and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410925624.8, filed on July 11, 2024, entitled “Test Method and Test System for Storage and Charging System”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a test method and test system for a battery storage and charging system. Background Technology

[0004] Currently, with the gradual application of integrated energy storage and charging systems, how to conduct thorough testing on these systems before they are put into use to ensure their normal operation after deployment is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure provides a testing method and system for a storage and charging system, which can effectively test the functions of the storage and charging system and improve the reliability of its use.

[0006] The technical solution of this disclosure embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a testing method for a battery storage and charging system, applied to a testing machine; the battery storage and charging system includes an energy management system, an energy storage device, and a charging conversion device; the energy storage device includes a battery management unit; the method includes:

[0008] When the remaining power of the energy storage device is less than or equal to the first threshold, the first charging data is obtained, which instructs the energy management system to charge the energy storage device via the AC-to-DC converter, and the energy storage function of the energy storage system is determined to be normal based on the first charging data.

[0009] When the device to be charged is connected to the charging conversion device, the second charging data of the energy management system controlling the AC to DC converter and / or energy storage device to charge the device to be charged is obtained, and the charging function of the energy storage system is determined based on the second charging data.

[0010] The charging conversion device is connected to both the AC-to-DC converter and the energy storage device. The energy storage and charging functions are performed after the communication function between the battery management unit and the energy management system has been tested. The communication function test is completed based on the message data received by the energy management system and the message data sent by the battery management unit.

[0011] In this embodiment, when the energy storage function of the energy storage and charging system is normal, the energy management system will instruct the AC-to-DC converter to charge the energy storage device when it detects that the remaining power of the energy storage device is less than or equal to a first threshold. Therefore, when the tester tests the energy storage function, it can acquire the first charging data when the remaining power of the energy storage device is less than or equal to the first threshold, indicating that the energy management system has instructed the AC-to-DC converter to charge the energy storage device. This first charging data is then used to determine whether the energy storage function of the energy storage and charging system is normal, i.e., whether the energy storage and charging system can automatically charge the energy storage device when the remaining power of the energy storage device is less than or equal to the first threshold. Under normal circumstances, the charging function of the energy storage and charging system supports three charging methods: charging the device to be charged using only the AC-to-DC converter, charging the device to be charged using only the energy storage device, and charging the device to be charged using only the energy storage device. Furthermore, by simultaneously charging the device under charge using an AC-to-DC converter and an energy storage device, the tester can acquire second charging data when the device under charge is connected. This data is used to control the AC-to-DC converter and / or the energy storage device to charge the device. Based on this second charging data, the tester can determine whether the charging system can normally execute the three charging methods. This effectively tests the automatic energy storage and charging functions of the charging system. Additionally, before testing the energy storage and charging functions, the communication function between the battery management unit and the energy management system can be tested based on the message data received by the energy management system and the message data sent by the battery management unit. This ensures that the communication function between the battery management unit and the energy management system is normal. Based on these tests, the reliability of the charging system can be effectively improved.

[0012] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second charging data includes third charging information, fourth charging information, and fifth charging information; the method further includes:

[0013] A first charging instruction message is sent to the energy management system, so that the energy management system responds to the first charging instruction message, controls the AC to DC converter to charge the device to be charged, and obtains the third charging information; wherein, the first charging instruction message is used to indicate that the device to be charged is charged through the AC to DC converter.

[0014] Send a second charging instruction message to the energy management system so that the energy management system responds to the second charging instruction message, controls the energy storage device to charge the device to be charged through the battery management unit, and obtains the fourth charging information;

[0015] A third charging instruction message is sent to the energy management system, so that the energy management system responds to the third charging instruction message, controls the AC-to-DC converter and the battery management unit to charge the device to be charged through the AC-to-DC converter and the energy storage device, and obtains the fifth charging information.

[0016] In this embodiment, the tester can send a first charging instruction to the energy management system to instruct the energy storage device to be disabled and the device to be charged to be charged using only the AC-to-DC converter, and obtain relevant information about the charging process, i.e., the third charging information, thereby achieving effective testing of the charging function using only the AC-to-DC converter; the tester can send a second charging instruction to the energy management system to instruct the AC-to-DC converter to be disabled and the device to be charged to be charged using only the energy storage device, and obtain relevant information about the charging process, i.e., the fourth charging information, thereby achieving effective testing of the charging function using only the energy storage device; the tester can also send a third charging instruction to the energy management system to instruct the device to be charged to be charged using both the AC-to-DC converter and the energy storage device simultaneously, and obtain relevant information about the charging process, i.e., the fifth charging information, thereby achieving effective testing of the charging function using both the AC-to-DC converter and the energy storage device simultaneously.

[0017] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the energy storage device includes a battery management unit; the method further includes:

[0018] Before testing the energy storage and charging functions, the first message data of the energy management system and the second message data of the battery management unit are acquired; wherein, the second message data represents the message data generated by the battery management unit and sent to the energy management system; and the first message data represents the message data received by the energy management system from the battery management unit.

[0019] The data from the first message and the data from the second message are compared to obtain the comparison results;

[0020] If the comparison results show that the first message data and the second message data are the same, it is determined that the communication function between the battery management unit and the energy management system has passed the test.

[0021] In this embodiment, before testing the overall storage and charging function of the energy storage and charging system, a communication test can be performed first. When testing the communication function between the battery management unit and the energy management system in the energy storage device, the first message data received by the energy management system from the battery management unit and the second message data generated by the battery management unit and sent to the energy management system can be obtained. The first message data and the second message data are compared. If the first message data and the second message data are the same, it indicates that the communication between the battery management unit and the energy management system is correct, that is, the communication function passes the test, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the communication of the energy storage and charging system during use.

[0022] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after determining that the communication function between the battery management unit and the energy management system has passed the test, when the comparison result shows that the first message data and the second message data are the same, the method further includes:

[0023] The energy management system receives the protection commands generated in response to the fault message sent by the battery management unit.

[0024] Obtain fault messages from the battery management unit and determine the fault level of the fault messages;

[0025] If the protection command is determined to be the one corresponding to the fault level, the protection function of the energy storage device is deemed to have passed the test.

[0026] In this embodiment, the protection function of the energy storage device can also be tested before testing the energy storage and charging function of the entire energy storage and charging system. This involves obtaining the protection command generated by the energy management system in response to the fault message when the battery management unit sends a fault message to the energy management system, and determining the fault level of the fault message sent by the battery management unit. If the protection command generated by the energy management system is a command for handling faults at that fault level, then the protection function of the energy storage device is determined to have passed the test. This improves the energy storage and charging system's ability to handle faults in the energy storage device and enhances the safety of the energy storage and charging system.

[0027] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after determining that the communication function between the battery management unit and the energy management system has passed the test, when the comparison result shows that the first message data and the second message data are the same, the method further includes:

[0028] Acquire first voltage data of the energy storage device under different remaining power conditions and second voltage data of the battery in the energy storage device;

[0029] If the first voltage data meets the first voltage range and the second voltage data meets the second voltage range, the voltage of the energy storage device is determined to pass the test.

[0030] In this embodiment, after the communication function test is passed, the voltage range of the energy storage device can also be tested. The tester can acquire the first voltage data of the energy storage device under different remaining power and the second voltage data of the battery in the energy storage device. If the first voltage data and the second voltage data both conform to their respective first voltage range and second voltage range, the voltage of the energy storage device is determined to have passed the test, thereby improving the stability of the energy storage device during use.

[0031] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the charging conversion device includes a charging control unit; the method further includes:

[0032] When the device to be charged is connected to the charging conversion device, the first charging request information of the device to be charged and the second charging request information sent by the device to be charged are received by the charging control unit.

[0033] If the first charging request information and the second charging request information are the same, it is determined that the charging control unit has passed the test of responding to the charging request.

[0034] In this embodiment, the charging control unit in the charging conversion device can also be tested to see if it can correctly respond to the charging request of the device to be charged. When the device to be charged is connected to the charging conversion device, the tester can obtain the first charging request information of the device to be charged and the second charging request information received by the charging control unit from the device to be charged. If the first charging request information and the second charging request information are the same, it is determined that the charging control unit can correctly respond to the charging request, thereby improving the reliability of the energy storage and charging system.

[0035] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after determining that the charging control unit has passed the charging request response test when the first charging request information and the second charging request information are the same, the method further includes:

[0036] The charging control unit receives the first charging capability parameter sent by the energy management system; wherein the first charging capability parameter is calculated by the energy management system based on the received charging capability parameters of the energy storage device and the charging capability parameters of the AC-to-DC converter.

[0037] If the first charging capability parameter and the second charging capability parameter are the same, the charging capability parameter matching test is determined; wherein, the second charging parameter represents the charging capability parameter calculated based on the measured charging capability parameter of the energy storage device and the measured charging capability parameter of the AC to DC converter.

[0038] In this embodiment, after the charging control unit passes the charging request response test, the matching of charging capability parameters can be tested. The testing machine can acquire the first charging capability parameter received by the charging control unit from the energy management system. The first charging capability parameter is calculated by the energy management system based on the charging capability parameters of the energy storage device and the AC-to-DC converter. Then, the testing machine can perform actual measurements on the charging capability parameters of the energy storage device and the AC-to-DC converter to obtain the measured second charging capability parameter. If the first charging capability parameter is the same as the second charging capability parameter, the matching of charging capability parameters is determined to have passed the test, which can improve the reliability of the energy storage and charging system during charging.

[0039] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after determining that the charging capability parameter matching test has been passed when the first charging capability parameter is the same as the second charging capability parameter, the method further includes:

[0040] When charging a device to be charged via a charging conversion device, the output parameters of the charging conversion device sent by the charging control unit are obtained;

[0041] If the output parameter is less than or equal to the target parameter, the charging conversion device is determined to have passed the output parameter test; wherein the target parameter is the minimum value between the first charging request information and the first charging capability parameter.

[0042] In this embodiment, after the charging capability parameter matching test is passed, the output parameters of the charging conversion device can also be tested. The tester can obtain the output parameters of the charging conversion device during the charging process of the device to be charged using the charging conversion device through the charging control unit, and compare the output parameters with the target parameters. The target parameter is the minimum value between the first charging request information and the first charging capability parameter. If it is determined that the output parameter is less than or equal to the target parameter, it is determined that the charging conversion device has passed the output parameter test and can improve the charging reliability of the energy storage and charging system.

[0043] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after determining that the charging conversion device has passed the output parameter test when the output parameter is less than or equal to the target parameter, the method further includes:

[0044] When charging the device to be charged via an AC-to-DC converter, the first discharge parameters of the AC-to-DC converter are obtained;

[0045] When charging the device to be charged through the energy storage device, the second discharge parameters of the energy storage device are obtained;

[0046] When charging the device to be charged through an AC-to-DC converter and an energy storage device, the third discharge parameter of the AC-to-DC converter and the fourth discharge parameter of the energy storage device are obtained.

[0047] If the first and third discharge parameters are less than or equal to the charging capability parameters of the AC-to-DC converter, and the second and fourth discharge parameters are less than or equal to the charging capability parameters of the energy storage device, then the AC-to-DC converter and the energy storage device are determined to have passed the discharge parameter test.

[0048] In this embodiment, after determining that the charging conversion device has passed the output parameter test, the AC-to-DC converter and the energy storage device can also be tested for discharge parameters. The testing machine can acquire the first discharge parameter of the AC-to-DC converter when charging the device to be charged using only the AC-to-DC converter, and the first discharge parameter of the energy storage device when charging the device to be charged using only the energy storage device. When charging the device to be charged using both the AC-to-DC converter and the energy storage device, the third discharge parameter of the AC-to-DC converter and the fourth discharge parameter of the energy storage device can be acquired. Then, it is determined whether the discharge parameters of the AC-to-DC converter, including the first and third discharge parameters, are both less than or equal to the charging capacity parameter of the AC-to-DC converter, and whether the discharge parameters of the energy storage device, including the second and fourth discharge parameters, are both less than or equal to the charging capacity parameter of the energy storage device. If the discharge parameters all meet the condition, it can be determined that the AC-to-DC converter and the energy storage device have passed the discharge parameter test, thereby improving the stability of the charging system when charging the device to be charged using three charging methods.

[0049] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the charging conversion device includes at least two DC-DC converters connected in parallel; the method further includes:

[0050] When power is supplied to the device to be charged through a charging conversion device, the output data of at least two DC to DC converters are acquired.

[0051] The output difference information is determined based on the output data; wherein, the output difference information represents the difference between the currents output by at least two DC-to-DC converters.

[0052] If the output difference information is less than or equal to the second threshold, the charging conversion device is determined to have passed the circulating current test.

[0053] In this embodiment, a circulating current test can also be performed on at least two DC-to-DC converters connected in parallel in the charging conversion device. The tester can acquire the output data of each of the at least two DC-to-DC converters during the process of supplying power to the device to be charged through the charging conversion device, and determine the output difference information between the output currents of the at least two DC-to-DC converters based on the output data. If the output difference information is less than or equal to a second threshold, it can be determined that the charging conversion device passes the circulating current test and can improve the balance of the output current of the at least two DC-to-DC converters in the charging conversion device.

[0054] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes:

[0055] Write the first software version information to the battery management unit so that the battery management unit sends the first software version information to the energy management system;

[0056] Receive the second software version information sent by the energy management system;

[0057] If the first software version information and the second software version information are the same, the energy management system is determined to be read by the software version test.

[0058] In this embodiment, after the energy storage and charging system has passed multiple hardware tests, software tests can also be performed on the energy storage and charging system. The test machine can write first software version information to the battery management unit, and then after the battery management unit sends the first software version information to the energy management system, it can obtain the second software version information sent by the energy management system. If the first software version information and the second software version information are the same, it is determined that the energy management system has passed the software version reading test, which can improve the stability of software operation in the energy storage and charging system.

[0059] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes:

[0060] Send a high-voltage command to the energy management system;

[0061] If it is determined that the energy management system responds to the high-voltage command and controls the battery management unit to complete the high-voltage operation of the energy storage device, then the energy storage device passes the high-voltage test.

[0062] Send a high-voltage command to the energy management system;

[0063] If the energy management system responds to the high-voltage command and controls the battery management unit to complete the high-voltage operation of the energy storage device, then the energy storage device passes the high-voltage test.

[0064] In this embodiment, the energy storage device can also be tested for high voltage application and high voltage reduction. The testing machine can send a high voltage application command to the energy management system to determine whether the energy management system can respond to the high voltage application command and control the battery management unit to complete the high voltage application operation of the energy storage device. If the high voltage application operation can be completed, the high voltage application test is considered passed. The testing machine can also send a high voltage reduction command to the energy management system to determine whether the energy management system can respond to the high voltage reduction command and control the battery management unit to complete the high voltage reduction operation of the energy storage device. If the high voltage reduction operation can be completed, the high voltage reduction test is considered passed, thereby improving the stability of high voltage application and high voltage reduction operations.

[0065] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes:

[0066] With the energy storage device turned off, acquire the status detection information of the battery management unit from the energy management system;

[0067] If the status detection information indicates that the battery management unit is offline, then the battery management unit has passed the offline function test.

[0068] In this embodiment, the test machine can also acquire the status detection information of the energy management system on the battery management unit when the energy storage device is turned off, so as to determine whether the energy management system can accurately detect that the battery management unit in the energy storage device is offline, thereby effectively testing the offline function of the software in the battery management unit.

[0069] Secondly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a testing system, which includes a testing machine and a charging / storage system connected to the testing machine; wherein the charging / storage system includes an energy management system, an energy storage device, and a charging conversion device; the energy storage device includes a battery management unit; and the charging conversion device is connected to an AC-to-DC converter and the energy storage device respectively.

[0070] The tester is used to acquire first charging data when the remaining power of the energy storage device is less than or equal to a first threshold, and the energy management system controls the AC to DC converter to charge the energy storage device, so as to determine whether the energy storage function of the energy storage system is normal based on the first charging data.

[0071] The test unit is also used to acquire second charging data when the device to be charged is connected to the charging conversion device, and the energy management system controls the AC-to-DC converter and / or energy storage device to charge the device to be charged, and determines whether the charging function of the energy storage system is normal based on the second charging data; wherein, the energy storage function and the charging function are executed under the condition that the communication function between the battery management unit and the energy management system passes the test; the communication function test is completed based on the message data received by the energy management system and the message data sent by the battery management unit.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the energy storage function of the energy storage and charging system is normal, the energy management system will instruct the AC-to-DC converter to charge the energy storage device when it detects that the remaining power of the energy storage device is less than or equal to a first threshold. Therefore, when the tester tests the energy storage function, it can acquire the first charging data when the remaining power of the energy storage device is less than or equal to the first threshold, indicating that the energy management system has instructed the AC-to-DC converter to charge the energy storage device. This first charging data is then used to determine whether the energy storage function of the energy storage and charging system is normal, i.e., whether the energy storage and charging system can automatically charge the energy storage device when the remaining power of the energy storage device is less than or equal to the first threshold. Under normal circumstances, the charging function of the energy storage and charging system supports three charging methods: charging the device to be charged using only the AC-to-DC converter, charging the device to be charged using only the energy storage device, and charging the device to be charged using only the energy storage device. Furthermore, by simultaneously charging the device under charge using an AC-to-DC converter and an energy storage device, the tester can acquire second charging data when the device under charge is connected. This data is used to control the AC-to-DC converter and / or the energy storage device to charge the device. Based on this second charging data, the tester can determine whether the charging system can normally execute the three charging methods. This effectively tests the automatic energy storage and charging functions of the charging system. Additionally, before testing the energy storage and charging functions, the communication function between the battery management unit and the energy management system can be tested based on the message data received by the energy management system and the message data sent by the battery management unit. This ensures that the communication function between the battery management unit and the energy management system is normal. Based on these tests, the reliability of the charging system can be effectively improved. Attached Figure Description

Simultaneously, the AC-to-DC converter and energy storage device are used to charge the device to be charged. Therefore, when testing the charging function of the energy storage and charging system, the tester can acquire second charging data when the device to be charged is connected, based on which the energy management system controls the AC-to-DC converter and / or energy storage device to charge the device. This second charging data allows the tester to determine whether the energy storage and charging system can normally execute the three charging methods. This enables effective testing of the automatic energy storage and charging functions of the energy storage and charging system.
