The present disclosure relates to the technical field of lithium battery management, in particular to a lithium battery power display method and system.
When the battery is charged at constant current, the change of voltage is rising, stable, and rising. When the battery is charged and discharged at constant current, the voltage is stable, and this stable area is the platform area for charging and discharging. Although it is hoped that the platform area is wider and more stable during the battery power supply process, it is difficult to obtain accurate values in the platform area when measuring the battery state of charge (SOC).
In particular, lithium iron phosphate batteries, which have been used in mass production vehicles in recent years, have been favored by more and more new energy main engine manufacturers because of their low cost, high safety, long cycle life, and greatly improved energy density. However, the open-circuit voltage (OCV) of lithium iron phosphate battery cells show that the platform area is about 30%˜97%, and the estimation of SOC in this area only depends on current integration. Considering the error of sensed current and the consistency of the cells, there is an error in the SOC estimation and it cannot pass the voltage calibration. If the battery is not fully charged for many times in the platform area, a large SOC error may occur, and there is a possibility of false charge. In serious cases, the driver will be left way due to the false charge of the battery.
The existing solutions of the main engine factory generally recommend that the user regularly use his charging device to fully charge the vehicle (it is recommended to fully charge the vehicle at least once a week), and fully charge the vehicle at low electric state (<10% SOC) every 3 months to half a year, or remind the user through mobile phones, meters, etc.
However, there are still users who do not read the user's manual or pay attention to the reminders of mobile phones, meters and other users, or when the SOC error is too large under the condition of not being fully charged for many times due to time problems, which may lead to the embarrassing situation that the battery is left way due to false charge and poor use experience.
The object of the present disclosure is to provide a lithium battery power display method and system, which can solve the problem of virtual power caused by excessive SOC error displayed in the state of non-full charge and discharge of lithium battery, thus improving the driver's use experience.
In order to solve the above technical problems, as an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a lithium battery power display method, which includes the following steps:

In another aspect of the present disclosure, a system is also provided for correcting a displayed SOC value after charging a lithium battery, the system includes:
displayed SOC=SOC displayed before charging+SOC charged*k;
Wherein the calibration unit further includes:
The present disclosure provides a lithium battery power display method and system. When the SOC value is in a plateau period and the correction trigger condition is met at the same time during each charging, the correction coefficient at this time is calculated according to the SOC charged this time by using a pre-calibrated formula, the current SOC value is negatively corrected by the correction coefficient to deduct a small amount of the charge amount from the displayed SOC value. The accumulated error caused by SOC inaccuracy in the platform period in the prior art can be eliminated by several small deductions from the charging amount.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the drivers of electric vehicles using lithium batteries (especially lithium iron phosphate batteries) do not need to pay special attention to reading the user's manual or user's reminders such as mobile phones and meters, they only need to charge at the time when the displayed SOC value reaches the point where charging is required to ensure the safety of power consumption; the present disclosure overcomes the battery virtual charge phenomenon in the prior art, which is caused by excessive SOC error when lithium batteries (especially lithium iron phosphate batteries) are repeatedly not charged to the full, and improves the use experience.
In order to more clearly explain the embodiments of the present disclosure or the technical solutions in the prior art, the drawings in the following description should be referred to, but these are only some embodiments of the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, it is still within the scope of the present disclosure to obtain other drawings according to these drawings without creative labor.
In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present disclosure more clearly, the present disclosure will be further described in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings.
At step S10, periodically calculating the state of charge (SOC) value as currently charged (for example, 2 minute periods) according to the current integration method in the process of charging the lithium battery; specifically, the charged SOC value is obtained by integrating the current charging current with the current charging duration at the time of this calculation; it should be noted that a first SOC detection needs to be carried out by entering the static voltage area for full/drained power.
At step S11, obtaining a sum of the SOC value displayed before charging and the SOC value charged, and determining whether it is within a predetermined charging platform area of the lithium battery.
The present disclosure can be used for displaying the quantity of electric charge in a lithium battery, especially for displaying the electric quantity of a lithium iron phosphate battery with a wide platform area during charging and discharging, other types of battery charge and discharge display can also be included in estimations of battery charge and discharge in the platform area.
At step S12, calculating and obtaining a correction coefficient according to the pre calibrated formula, and applying the correction coefficient to correct the charged SOC value, and obtaining the SOC value to be displayed according to the SOC value displayed before charging and the corrected SOC value when the determination result is that it is within a predetermined charging platform area and it is also determined that the correction trigger condition has been reached. The correction coefficient is a positive number less than 1.
More specifically, the step S12 further includes:
Wherein the step S12 further incudes:
The k value obtained by the above formula can obtain different correction coefficients at different stages of the charging platform area and refine the correction compensation; it can be understood that the above calculation formula is an example of the formula for obtaining the correction system k, and is not a limitation; in other embodiments, other variations of similar formulas can also be used, for example, first-order formulas can be used to achieve, in these embodiments, the constants in these formulas that need to be adaptively calibrated.
The SOC value to be displayed is calculated according to the following formula:
displayed SOC=SOC displayed before charging+SOC charged*k.
It can be seen from the above formula that the correction coefficient k can be used for negative correction, so that the displayed SOC value is smaller than the actual SOC value.
Wherein the step S12 further incudes:
It can be understood that the purpose of setting the correction trigger condition is to reduce the number of corrections and adapt it when there is frequent charging and discharging occur in the platform area.
At step S13, displaying the SOC value to be displayed.
More specifically, in one embodiment, the step S12 further includes:
Wherein the step S12 further incudes:
It can be understood that the user of an electric vehicle generally determines whether to charge according to the SOC value, in principle, when the displayed SOC is lower than the psychological expectation, the user will spontaneously charge; if the SOC is not accurate, when the actual SOC is greater than the displayed SOC, the actual range will be more than the displayed range and will not have a negative impact on the user; when the actual SOC is less than the displayed SOC, the actual range will be less than the displayed range (called virtual power), this situation may lead to the driver's misjudgment, resulting in the embarrassing situation of being left halfway due to the battery's false charge.
At the same time, since the error of SOC in the platform area is random, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a positive deviation or a negative deviation, the user usually determines the range according to the SOC, therefore, in order to avoid the occurrence of virtual power, the SOC correction should be carried out towards the smaller direction, that is, the displayed SOC value should be less than the theoretically calculated SOC value, so that the actual range will be more than the displayed range and will not have a negative impact on the user.
The method adopted in the present disclosure is modified only when the lithium battery is charged. When it is impossible to enter the static voltage area for voltage calibration, the corresponding correction coefficient is obtained according to the information such as the charging current of the platform area (more specifically, the charged SOC value), and the coefficient conversion process is performed on the charged SOC value. That is, the SOC after charging is corrected in the negative direction a few times each time, resulting in the actual displayed SOC value being smaller than the theoretically calculated SOC. Since the charging process is performed a few times, the user will not notice it. After a single charge, the actual SOC charged will be more than the displayed SOC, and the SOC displayed will be smaller than the theoretically-calculated SOC with an increase of charging/discharging times, which can basically cover the SOC error range caused by the charge and discharge in the platform area and prevent the occurrence of false reading.
If it is accumulated to a certain extent, since the displayed value is far less than the theoretical calculation value, the user enters the psychological expectation of charging earlier, and the vehicle is more likely to be fully charged at this time, that is, after entering the static voltage area, the battery can conduct voltage calibration and clear the previous correction value, that is, the display value is equal to the theoretical calculation value. In order to avoid the user's impression that the user's time is significantly shortened, the displayed value can be smoothly transferred to the real SOC value through a certain damping algorithm, and the vehicle can better enter the full power state.
In order to facilitate understanding, the principle of the method of the present disclosure and the effects achieved will be described below by using a specific example. Assuming that 30% is the L % point and 97% is the H % point, the user always charges when the SOC is lower than 40% and stops charging when the SOC is 70%. There will be a random ±1% error in the SOC of each charge and discharge; if no correction is made, the cumulative error of SOC for 1000 times may reach 30%, if the user starts when the SOC is 45%, the user may believe he can reach his destination in theory, but the SOC is 15%, which may lead to the embarrassing situation of losing all power on the way. In case of correction, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that each correction is −1% (i.e., the correction coefficient k is 0.98), that is, when the SOC is 70% displayed for the first time, the actual theoretical power is 70˜71%, and when the SOC is 70% displayed for the second time, the actual power is 70˜72%, . . . . When the displayed SOC is 70% at the 27th charge, the actual power may be 70˜97%, that is, it is easier to enter the static voltage area, the battery can conduct voltage calibration and guide the user to fully charge in a disguised manner, at this time, if the vehicle shows that the SOC is 45%, the actual theoretical electric quantity must be above 45%, and there will be no virtual electricity; thus, it is possible to avoid the vehicle from running out of power and breaking down halfway, and improve the user's use experience.
