Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, the embodiments described with reference to the drawings being illustrative, and the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.
Fig. 1 is a system block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, a battery manager detects temperature, voltage and current information of a battery in real time and estimates an SOH and an SOC state of the battery according to the temperature, voltage and current information of the battery. The battery is a vehicle-mounted energy storage device and can be charged and discharged.
In the related art, for estimating the SOH of the battery, a method is generally adopted in which the electric quantity of the battery is first discharged to a cut-off voltage, and then the battery is fully charged, so as to calculate the charging capacity of the battery, and the SOH of the battery is obtained by charging capacity/factory nominal capacity. However, this method is more suitable for laboratory measurements and not for normal use of the vehicle, since discharging the vehicle to cutoff, meaning that the battery is exhausted, causes the vehicle to be stranded during operation.
Or when the vehicle is allowed to stand for a long time, estimating the SOC value of the battery by adopting the OCV curve, and estimating the SOH by combining the difference value of the discharged electric quantity and the charged electric quantity. However, in the implementation process of the method, a long time of standing is needed to realize the SOH estimation, and the resolution of the SOC-OCV curve of a partial battery in the interval of 30% -100% is low, such as a lithium iron phosphate battery, which is difficult to estimate accurately.
In order to solve the above problems, a method for correcting the available capacity of a battery according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, which can be applied to the entire charging and discharging process of the battery, improve the estimation accuracy of the available capacity of the battery, and prevent the vehicle from being dropped, is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

And step S1, acquiring the SOC value of the battery.
Specifically, the battery manager detects the temperature, voltage and current information of the battery in real time, and estimates the SOC value of the battery according to the temperature, voltage and current information of the battery, for example, an open-circuit voltage method or an ampere-hour integration method or a calculation method combining the two methods may be used to obtain the estimated value of the SOC of the battery, which is not limited herein.
Step S2, determining whether the battery SOC value is less than or equal to the first SOC threshold value, if yes, proceeding to step S3, if no, proceeding to step S4.
Specifically, whether the battery SOC value is smaller than or equal to the first SOC threshold value or not is judged through the battery manager, and since the estimation accuracy of the battery manager is high when the battery SOC is low, a corresponding strategy for correcting the available capacity of the battery can be determined to be adopted according to the range of the SOC value of the battery.
And step S3, obtaining the discharge capacity and the residual capacity of the battery, and performing iterative estimation according to the discharge capacity and the residual capacity to correct the current available capacity of the battery.
Specifically, after the battery manager determines that the SOC value of the battery is smaller than or equal to the first SOC threshold value, the battery manager acquires the discharge capacity and the residual capacity information of the battery, and then the available capacity iterative estimation method is used for estimating the available capacity of the battery according to the change condition of the SOC value and the residual capacity and the current discharge capacity in real time, and the available capacity of the battery obtained by each calculation is replaced by the current available capacity of the battery to realize the correction of the available capacity of the battery, so that the available capacity of the battery is closer to a true value, and the estimation accuracy of the available capacity of the battery is improved.
And step S4, acquiring historical use parameters of the battery, and correcting the current available capacity of the battery according to the historical use parameters.
Specifically, after the battery manager determines that the battery SOC value is larger than the first SOC threshold value, historical use parameters of the battery, such as parameter information of charge-discharge cycle times, running time, mileage parameters and the like of the battery, are obtained according to the battery manager, the SOH values of the battery are respectively estimated according to the obtained historical use parameters of the battery through an SOH historical data estimation method, the average value of the SOH values is selected as an SOH estimated value of the battery, the estimation precision of the SOH values can be improved, and then the available capacity of the battery is corrected through calculation.
According to the method for correcting the available capacity of the battery, whether the SOC value of the battery is smaller than or equal to the first SOC threshold value or not is judged, and the corresponding available capacity correction strategy of the battery is determined, namely when the SOC value of the battery is low, the current available capacity of the battery is corrected by adopting an available capacity iterative estimation method, and when the SOC value of the battery is high, the current available capacity of the battery is corrected by adopting an SOH historical data estimation method.
In some embodiments, the method for correcting the available capacity of the battery according to the embodiments of the present invention further includes: collecting the temperature of the battery; judging whether the temperature of the battery is greater than or equal to a temperature threshold value; if yes, correcting the current available capacity of the battery according to the discharge capacity and the residual capacity; if not, the current available capacity of the battery is corrected according to the historical use parameters.

S104: and the battery manager corrects the battery SOH according to the current battery available capacity calculated in the iterative available capacity correction process.
S105: the battery manager enters the SOH historical data estimation process.
Since the actual available capacity of the battery is reduced and the estimation accuracy of the SOC of the battery is reduced under the low temperature condition, the correction strategy for determining the available capacity of the battery according to the temperature of the battery, that is, when the temperature of the battery is high, the estimation accuracy of the available capacity of the battery can be ensured by using the iterative estimation method of the available capacity.
The iterative estimation method of available capacity and the estimation method of SOH historical data are further described below.

Further, whether the current available capacity of the battery is larger than the sum value of the discharge capacity and the residual capacity is judged through the battery manager. If so, calculating a difference value between the current available capacity of the battery and the sum value to obtain a capacity deviation value, and reducing the current available capacity of the battery according to the capacity deviation value and the first correction coefficient; and if not, calculating a difference value between the sum value and the current available capacity of the battery to obtain a capacity deviation value, so that the current available capacity of the battery is increased according to the capacity deviation value and the first correction coefficient.
