20230280403
The present disclosure relates to a battery management apparatus and method, and more particularly, to a battery management apparatus and method for judging whether degradation of a battery cell is accelerated.
Recently, the demand for portable electronic products such as notebook computers, video cameras and portable telephones has increased sharply, and electric vehicles, energy storage batteries, robots, satellites and the like have been developed in earnest. Accordingly, high-performance batteries allowing repeated charging and discharging are being actively studied.
Batteries commercially available at present include nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel hydrogen batteries, nickel-zinc batteries, lithium batteries and the like. Among them, the lithium batteries are in the limelight since they have almost no memory effect compared to nickel-based batteries and also have very low self-charging rate and high energy density.
In general, since such a battery is degraded as being used, it is necessary to accurately judge the state of the battery in order to accurately estimate the state of charge (SOC) and the state of health (SOH) of the degraded battery or control to increase the lifespan of the degraded battery. In particular, in order to effectively increase the lifespan of a battery, it is required to control corresponding to the degree of degradation (a degradation rate) of the battery.
Conventionally, in order to detect abnormality of a battery, an inspection system for comparing a feature point of a previously stored V-dQ/dV curve with a feature point of a dQ/dV actual value is disclosed (Patent Document 1). However, in the related art, the abnormality of a battery is detected just by judging whether the feature point of the dQ/dV actual value falls within a predetermined voltage (V) range and a predetermined dQ/dV range.
That is, in the prior art, only the abnormality or defect of the battery is judged, and the configuration for judging the degree of degradation of the battery in order to increase the lifespan of the battery is not disclosed at all.
The present disclosure is designed to solve the problems of the related art, and therefore the present disclosure is directed to providing a battery management apparatus and method that may perform appropriate control to increase the lifespan of a battery cell by judging whether degradation of the battery cell is accelerated.
These and other objects and advantages of the present disclosure may be understood from the following detailed description and will become more fully apparent from the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Also, it will be easily understood that the objects and advantages of the present disclosure may be realized by the means shown in the appended claims and combinations thereof.

Referring to
The profile generating unit 110 may be configured to obtain battery information including a voltage V and a capacity Q of a battery cell B.
Here, the battery cell B means one independent cell that includes a negative electrode terminal and a positive electrode terminal and is physically separable. For example, one pouch-type lithium polymer cell may be regarded as the battery cell B.
For example, the profile generating unit 110 may be configured to communicate with the outside. In addition, the profile generating unit 110 may receive the battery information from the outside.
The profile generating unit 110 may be configured to generate a battery profile representing a corresponding relationship between the voltage and the capacity based on the obtained battery information.
Specifically, the profile generating unit 110 may generate a battery profile by mapping a voltage and a capacity corresponding to each other in the obtained battery information.
For example, the profile generating unit 110 may generate a battery profile in the form of a table in which a voltage and a capacity corresponding to each other are mapped. As another example, the profile generating unit 110 may generate a battery profile in the form of a flat graph in which a voltage and a capacity corresponding to each other are mapped. That is, the battery profile generated by the profile generating unit 110 may be expressed in various forms as long as it can represent the corresponding relationship between the voltage and the capacity.
The profile converting unit 120 may be configured to receive the battery profile from the profile generating unit 110.
Specifically, the profile converting unit 120 and the profile generating unit 110 may be connected by wire or wirelessly to enable communication with each other. In addition, the profile converting unit 120 may receive the battery profile from the profile generating unit 110 through a wired line or a wireless communication network.
The profile converting unit 120 may be configured to convert the received battery profile into a differential profile representing a corresponding relationship between the voltage and a differential capacity for the voltage.
Here, the differential capacity is a value obtained by differentiating a capacity with a voltage with respect to voltage and capacity corresponding to each other, and may be expressed as “dQ/dV”. In addition, the unit of the differential capacity may be [mAh/V]. That is, the profile converting unit 120 may convert the battery profile received from the profile generating unit 110 into a differential profile.
Specifically, the first differential profile PF1 of
Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it is noted that the X-Y plane graph in which the voltage is set to X axis and the differential capacity is set to Y axis will be described as a differential profile.
The control unit 130 may be configured to obtain a plurality of differential profiles PF1 to PF7 for the battery cell B converted by the profile converting unit 120.
Here, the plurality of differential profiles PF1 to PF7 may be a differential profile converted in each of a plurality of cycles for the battery cell B.
For example, the control unit 130 may be connected to the profile converting unit 120 by wire or wirelessly so as to communicate. In addition, the control unit 130 may receive the plurality of differential profiles PF1 to PF7 from the profile converting unit 120.
Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it will be described that the control unit 130 obtains a differential profile at intervals of 300 cycles from the BOL state with respect to the battery cell B that has been used up to 1800 cycles. However, it should be noted that the cycle interval in which the battery profile is generated by the profile generating unit 110 and the battery profile is converted into a differential profile by the profile converting unit 120 is not limited to only 300 cycles. For example, the profile generating unit 110 may generate a battery profile at every 1 cycle, and the profile converting unit 120 may convert all the battery profiles generated at every 1 cycle into differential profiles. In addition, the profile converting unit 120 may immediately transmit the converted differential profile to the control unit 130 when the conversion of the differential profile is completed, or obtain a certain number of differential profiles and then transmit the plurality of obtained differential profiles PF1 to PF7 to the control unit 130.
For example, in the embodiment of
The control unit 130 may be configured to select a peak included in a preset criterion voltage region from each of the plurality of obtained differential profiles PF1 to PF7.
Specifically, the control unit 130 may select a peak at which the differential capacity is smallest while an instantaneous change rate of the differential capacity with respect to voltage is 0, in the criterion voltage region of each of the plurality of differential profiles PF1 to PF7.
More specifically, the peak may be a point at which the instantaneous change rate of the differential capacity with respect to voltage is 0 and the differential capacity is smallest in the criterion voltage region. In addition, based on the peak, the instantaneous change rate of a low voltage (the instantaneous change rate of the differential capacity with respect to voltage) may be negative, and the instantaneous change rate of a high voltage may be positive. That is, the peak may be a point having a downward convex shape in the X-Y plane graph.
Also, the criterion voltage region may be preset as a partial region near a discharge end in the voltage region for the battery cell B.
Specifically, the criterion voltage region may be set as a voltage region in which the peak of the battery cell B appears. That is, in general, the peak of the battery cell B appears near the discharge end of the battery cell B, and the voltage of the peak of a degraded battery cell B is not significantly different from the voltage of the peak of the battery cell B in the BOL state. Accordingly, the criterion voltage region may be set as a voltage region including the voltage at which the peak of the battery cell B in the BOL state appears. For example, the criterion voltage region may be preset to a voltage region of 3.3 [V] to 3.5[V].
Specifically,
For example, in the embodiment of
The control unit 130 may be configured to determine a voltage change pattern for the voltage and a differential capacity change pattern for the differential capacity of the plurality of selected peaks P1 to P7.
Specifically, the control unit 130 may be configured to determine the voltage change pattern and the differential capacity change pattern for every two peaks corresponding to each other among the plurality of peaks P1 to P7. Preferably, the control unit 130 may determine the voltage change pattern and the differential capacity change pattern for the plurality of peaks P1 to P7 according to a cycle order for the battery cell B.
For example, the control unit 130 may classify peak pairs into the first peak P1 and the second peak P2, the second peak P2 and the third peak P3, the third peak P3 and the fourth peak P4, the fourth peak P4 and the fifth peak P5, the fifth peak P5 and the sixth peak P6, and the sixth peak P6 and the seventh peak P7, and determine a voltage change pattern and a differential capacity change pattern for each of the classified peak pairs.
Here, the voltage change pattern may mean a pattern in which the voltage of the peak is changed as the cycle of the battery cell B increases. In addition, the differential capacity change pattern may mean a pattern in which the differential capacity of the peak is changed as the cycle of the battery cell B increases.
In the embodiment of
In addition, in the embodiment of
The control unit 130 may be configured to judge whether degradation of the battery cell B is accelerated according to whether the determined voltage change pattern corresponds to a preset first reference pattern and whether the determined differential capacity change pattern corresponds to a preset second reference pattern.
Here, the first reference pattern may be configured as a pattern in which the voltage is increased toward a high voltage to be equal to or greater than a preset criterion voltage. For example, the criterion voltage may be preset to 3 [mV]. That is, the first reference pattern may be a pattern in which the voltage between two peaks corresponding to the cycle order increases toward a high voltage as the cycle for the battery cell B increases, and both voltages are different by 3 [mV] or more.
Specifically, the control unit 130 may be configured to determine whether the voltage change pattern corresponds to the first reference pattern by judging whether the determined voltage change pattern is an increasing pattern and a voltage difference between the corresponding peaks is equal to or greater than the criterion voltage.
For example, in the embodiment of
That is, an error may be included in the voltage and capacity measured for the battery cell B due to various causes inside and/or outside the battery cell B. In addition, the error may also be reflected in the voltage of the peak included in the differential profile based on the battery information. Therefore, the control unit 130 may determine whether the voltage change pattern of the plurality of peaks P1 to P7 corresponds to the first reference pattern by primarily considering whether the voltage change pattern is an increasing pattern and secondarily considering whether the voltage difference between the corresponding peaks is equal to or greater than the criterion voltage.
In addition, the second reference pattern may be configured as a pattern in which the determined differential capacity increases.
Specifically, the control unit 130 may be configured to determine whether the differential capacity change pattern corresponds to the second reference pattern by judging whether the differential capacity change pattern is an increasing pattern.
For example, in the embodiment of
In addition, through this process, if the voltage change pattern corresponds to the first reference pattern and the differential capacity change pattern corresponds to the second reference pattern, the control unit 130 may judge that the state of the battery cell B is a degradation acceleration state.
Here, the degradation acceleration state means a state in which the degradation of the battery cell B is accelerated.
In general, the battery cell B is degraded as the cycle progresses. As the battery cell B is used for a long time, the degradation rate of the battery cell B may gradually increase. For example, even for the same period, the degree of degradation of the battery cell B from a first time point in the BOL state to a second time point and the degree of degradation of the battery cell B from an Nth time point in the MOL (Middle of life) state to an N+1th time point may be different from each other. If the degradation of the battery cell B is accelerated as above, it is required to appropriately control the battery cell B in order to slow down the degradation of the battery cell B, so it is important to accurately judge whether the state of the battery cell B is a degradation acceleration state.
Therefore, the battery management apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has an advantage of accurately judging whether the state of the battery cell B is a degradation acceleration state by considering both the voltage change pattern and the differential capacity change pattern of the plurality of peaks P1 to P7 included in the plurality of differential profiles PF1 to PF7.
Meanwhile, the control unit 130 provided to the battery management apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may selectively include processors known in the art, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), other chipsets, logic circuits, registers, communication modems, data processing devices, and the like to execute various control logic performed in the present disclosure. Also, when the control logic is implemented in software, the control unit 130 may be implemented as a set of program modules. At this time, the program module may be stored in a memory and executed by the control unit 130. The memory may be located inside or out of the control unit 130 and may be connected to the control unit 130 by various well-known means.
In addition, the battery management apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a storage unit 140. The storage unit 140 may store programs and data required for the battery management apparatus 100 to determine degradation acceleration of the battery cell B. That is, the storage unit 140 may store data necessary for operation and function of each component of the battery management apparatus 100, data generated in the process of performing the operation or function, or the like. The storage unit 140 is not particularly limited in its kind as long as it is a known information storage means that can record, erase, update and read data. As an example, the information storage means may include random access memory (RAM), flash memory, read-only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), registers, and the like. In addition, the storage unit 140 may store program codes in which processes executable by the profile generating unit 110, the profile converting unit 120, and the control unit 130 are defined.
For example, the storage unit 140 may store the differential profile converted by the profile converting unit 120. If a plurality of differential profiles are stored in the storage unit 140, the control unit 130 may access the storage unit 140 to obtain the plurality of differential profiles PF1 to PF7. That is, the control unit 130 may obtain the plurality of differential profiles PF1 to PF7 directly from the profile converting unit 120 or may obtain the plurality of differential profiles PF1 to PF7 stored in the storage unit 140 by accessing the storage unit 140.
The control unit 130 may be configured to determine at least one target peak TP1, TP2 at which the voltage change pattern corresponds to the first reference pattern and the differential capacity change pattern corresponds to the second reference pattern, among the plurality of peaks P1 to P7.
For example, in the embodiment of
In addition, the control unit 130 may be configured to judge that the degradation of the battery cell B is accelerated from a lowest cycle among the cycles corresponding to the at least one target peak.
For example, in the embodiment of
That is, the battery management apparatus 100 has an advantage of not only judging whether the state of the battery cell B is a degradation acceleration state, but also judging a cycle at which the degradation of the battery cell B is accelerated. Therefore, the battery management apparatus 100 may slow down the degradation of the battery cell B by controlling the battery cell B in consideration of the cycle at which the degradation is accelerated as well as the state of the battery cell B. As a result, since the degradation of the battery cell B progresses slowly, the useful life of the battery cell B may be increased.
In the above, based on the embodiment of
Hereinafter, various embodiments in which the battery management apparatus 100 may judge the state of the battery cell B as a degradation acceleration state based on the voltage change pattern and the differential capacity change pattern will be described.
Specifically,
Referring to
That is, referring to
Here, Coulomb efficiency (CE) is calculated for each cycle based on a charge amount calculated according to Coulomb counting while the battery cell B is being charged and a discharge amount calculated according to Coulomb counting while battery cell B is being discharged. Specifically, the Coulomb efficiency may be calculated according to the formula of “discharge amount charge amount×100” for each cycle.
Referring to
Therefore, referring to
Here, the differential voltage is a value obtained by differentiating voltage by capacity with respect to voltage and capacity corresponding to each other, and may be expressed as “dV/dQ”. In addition, the unit of the differential voltage may be [V/mAh]. That is, since the differential voltage profile is a profile representing a corresponding relationship between the differential voltage and the capacity of the battery cell B, it should be noted that the differential voltage profile is a profile different from the differential profile of
Specifically,
For example, in
In addition, if the curvature difference between two differential voltage profiles is compared in the order of the cycle, it can be seen that the curvature difference between the fifth differential voltage profile PF5′ and the sixth differential voltage profile PF6′ is largest.
Specifically, referring to a box portion indicated by a dotted line in
Specifically, as shown in
Therefore, even referring to
The control unit 130 may be configured to set a discharge end voltage of the battery cell B to be greater than or equal to a voltage corresponding to the at least one target peak TP1, TP2.
Specifically, if the state of the battery cell B is the degradation acceleration state, the control unit 130 may decrease the usable voltage range of the battery cell B by upwardly controlling the discharge end voltage of the battery cell B. This is because, even when the battery cell B is degraded, if the battery cell B is discharged to a low voltage region, the degradation of the battery cell B can be continuously accelerated. Thus, the control unit 130 may slow down the degradation rate of the battery cell B by increasing the discharge end voltage of the battery cell B.
For example, in the embodiment of
Preferably, the control unit 130 may be configured to set the discharge end voltage for the battery cell B to be greater than or equal to the largest voltage among voltages corresponding to the at least one target peak TP1, TP2.
For example, in the embodiment of
Therefore, the battery management apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has an advantage of not only judging the state of the battery cell B, but also increasing the lifespan of the battery cell B by upwardly controlling the discharge end voltage of the battery cell B.
The battery management apparatus 100 according to the present disclosure may be applied to a BMS (Battery Management System). That is, the BMS according to the present disclosure may include the battery management apparatus 100 described above. In this configuration, at least some of components of the battery management apparatus 100 may be implemented by supplementing or adding functions of components included in a conventional BMS. For example, the profile generating unit 110, the profile converting unit 120, the control unit 130, and the storage unit 140 of the battery management apparatus 100 may be implemented as components of the BMS.
In addition, the battery management apparatus 100 according to the present disclosure may be provided to a battery pack 1. That is, the battery pack 1 according to the present disclosure may include the battery management apparatus 100 described above and at least one battery cell B. In addition, the battery pack 1 may further include electrical equipment (relays, fuses, etc.) and a case.
Referring to
The measuring unit 200 may be configured to measure the voltage and capacity of the battery cell B.
Specifically, the measuring unit 200 may measure a voltage of the battery by measuring voltages at both ends of the battery cell B, respectively. Also, the measuring unit 200 may measure a current output from the battery cell B and a discharge time while the battery cell B is being discharged. In addition, the measuring unit 200 may measure a capacity of the battery cell B based on the measured current of the battery cell B and the discharge time.
For example, in the embodiment of
In addition, a charging/discharging unit 2 may be connected to a positive electrode terminal (P+) and a negative electrode terminal (P−) of the battery pack 1 to charge or discharge the battery cell B.
For example, when the battery cell B is discharged by the charging/discharging unit 2, the measuring unit 200 may measure the voltage and capacity of the battery cell B, and transmit battery information including the measured voltage and capacity to the profile generating unit 110. That is, the profile generating unit 110 may obtain battery information by receiving the battery information from the measuring unit 200.
