The invention relates to the technical field of battery thermal performance measurement, in particular to a method for measuring the
specific heat capacity of an
energy storage battery. The theoretical model is calibrated by monitoring the
cooling curve of the battery so as to ensure that the
heat transfer characteristic of the battery is accurately reflected. Then, constant-power heating is adopted, so that the thermal field of the battery reaches a quasi-
steady state, and in the
steady state, the temperature change is gradually consistent; and recording a temperature change curve in real time through a temperature acquisition instrument, and calculating the
specific heat capacity of the battery in combination with the calibrated model and a
constant power input condition. According to the method, only the
voltage-stabilized power supply and the temperature acquisition instrument are needed, so that the cost is greatly reduced; the
measurement precision is improved through temperature change
curve analysis after model calibration, and the problems that in a traditional method, environmental interference is large, and precision is insufficient are solved; the time for reaching the quasi-
steady state is shortened through constant-power heating, and the measurement process is accelerated. The method is suitable for various
energy storage batteries, can meet the requirements of industries such as electric automobiles and
electric energy storage on the thermal performance of the batteries, and has wide popularization value.
