Background
In recent years, electric vehicles are developed rapidly, the driving range of the electric vehicles becomes a problem of increasing concern, and the SOC related to the driving range becomes an important investigation parameter in the prediction process.
SOC, State of Charge, refers to the State of Charge of the battery. From different perspectives of electric quantity, energy and the like, the SOC has a plurality of different definition modes. The SOC defined by the United States Advanced Battery Council (USABC) is widely adopted, namely, the ratio of the residual capacity to the rated capacity under the same condition of a battery under a certain discharge rate. The corresponding calculation formula is:
Q(In)=t∫Indt (2)
in the formula, QmThe maximum discharge capacity of the battery when the battery is discharged according to a constant current I;
Q(In) The amount of electricity discharged by the battery under the standard discharge current I in the time t.
The state of charge of the lithium battery is one of important parameters of a battery management system and is also the basis of a charge and discharge control strategy and battery balancing work of the whole automobile. However, due to the complexity of the structure of the lithium battery, the state of charge of the lithium battery cannot be obtained through direct measurement, and the prediction of the state of charge can be completed only by using a related characteristic curve or a calculation formula according to some external characteristics of the battery, such as internal resistance, open-circuit voltage, temperature, current and other related parameters of the battery.
The state of charge of the lithium battery is one of important parameters of a battery management system and is also the basis of a charge and discharge control strategy and battery balancing work of the whole automobile. However, due to the complexity of the structure of the lithium battery, the state of charge of the lithium battery cannot be obtained through direct measurement, and the prediction of the state of charge can be completed only by using a related characteristic curve or a calculation formula according to some external characteristics of the battery, such as internal resistance, open-circuit voltage, temperature, current and other related parameters of the battery.
The state of charge estimation of the lithium battery is nonlinear, and the current common methods mainly comprise a discharge experiment method, an open-circuit voltage method, an ampere-hour integration method, a Kalman filtering method, a neural network method and the like.
The principle of the open-circuit voltage method is that parameters of the battery after the battery is sufficiently settled for a long time are relatively stable, and the functional relation between the open-circuit voltage and the state of charge of the battery at the moment is relatively stable. If the state of charge value of the battery is required to be obtained, only the open-circuit voltage at two ends of the battery needs to be measured, and corresponding information is obtained by contrasting an OCV-SOC curve, namely:
SOC=f(V) (3)
the open-circuit voltage method has the advantages of simple operation and capability of obtaining the state of charge value by only measuring the open-circuit voltage value and contrasting the characteristic curve graph. But the disadvantages are many: firstly, in order to obtain an accurate value, the voltage of the battery needs to be in a relatively stable state, but the battery usually needs to be kept still for a long time to stabilize the voltage, the state of the battery is recovered to be stable from working, and hours or even tens of hours are needed, so that the battery is difficult to measure and can be in the state, the requirement of real-time monitoring cannot be met, and the method is usually applied to long-time parking of electric automobiles. In addition, determination of the standing time is also a problem. The method is only suitable for the parking state of the electric automobile when being used alone.
When the charge-discharge rates of the batteries are different, the open-circuit voltage of the batteries is changed due to the fluctuation of the current, so that the open-circuit voltage of the battery pack is inconsistent, and the predicted residual capacity and the actual residual capacity of the batteries generate larger deviation.
Another method for estimating the state of charge of a lithium battery is an ampere-hour integration method, which does not consider the action mechanism inside the battery, and estimates the state of charge of the battery by integrating time and current according to some external characteristics of the system, such as current, time, temperature compensation, and the like, and sometimes adding some compensation coefficients. At present, an ampere-hour integration method is widely applied to a battery management system. The equation of the ampere-hour integration method is as follows:
in the formula, SOC0Is the initial charge value of the battery state of charge;
CEis the rated capacity of the battery;
i (t) is the charge-discharge current of the battery at the time t;
t is the time of charging and discharging;
η is a charge-discharge efficiency coefficient, also called coulombic efficiency coefficient, which represents the power dissipation inside the battery during the charge-discharge process, and generally mainly takes the charge-discharge multiplying power and the temperature correction coefficient.
The ampere-hour integral method has the advantages that the limitation of the battery is relatively small, the calculation method is simple and reliable, and the state of charge of the battery can be estimated in real time. The method has the disadvantages that the ampere-hour metering method belongs to open-loop detection in the control, if the current acquisition precision is not high, a given initial charge state has certain errors, and the errors generated before are gradually accumulated along with the extension of the system operation time, so that the charge state prediction result is influenced. And because the ampere-hour integration method is only used for analyzing the state of charge from external characteristics, a certain error exists in multiple links. As can be seen from the ampere-hour integral calculation formula, the initial electric quantity of the battery has a large influence on the accuracy of the calculation result. In order to improve the accuracy of current measurement, high-performance current sensors are usually used to measure the current, but this increases the cost.
Therefore, how to accurately obtain the driving range of the electric automobile is urgently needed.

The invention provides a method for calculating the endurance mileage according to an SOC prediction value, which can calibrate an actual value based on theoretical values of SOC of an electric automobile in different states, thereby obtaining the prediction value of the endurance mileage.
Specifically, the SOC value of the electric vehicle is predicted by a method combining an open-circuit voltage method and an ampere-hour method, the initial SOC of the battery is estimated by the open-circuit voltage method, the ampere-hour integration method is used for real-time estimation, and relevant correction factors are added into a formula to improve the calculation accuracy.
Referring to fig. 1, steps of a method for calculating a driving range according to an SOC prediction value are described as follows:
step 1, collecting parameters of an electric automobile, such as current battery voltage, ambient temperature, bus current and the like;
step 2, judging the current state of the electric automobile according to the acquisition parameters, wherein the state comprises the following steps: a static state or a dynamic state.
Specifically, in the preferred embodiment, the parameters selected are bus current and rest time, i.e., whether the present electric vehicle satisfies two conditions simultaneously:
first, is the bus current less than 4A?
Second, is the rest time more than 30 min?
If the two conditions are met simultaneously, the vehicle is determined to be in a standing state, the static calibration in the step S31 is carried out, and if the two conditions cannot be met simultaneously, the vehicle is indicated to be in motion or in a charging state, the dynamic calibration in the step S41 is carried out;
step 31, when the standing time exceeds 30min and the bus current is less than 4A, entering static calibration;
the static calibration is a calibration process when the electric vehicle is in a static stop state;
and step 32, processing according to the acquired environment temperature condition.

TABLE 1
Table 1 is a data table corresponding to the OCV-SOC curve of the lithium iron phosphate battery.
For example, if the ambient temperature collected by the current vehicle-mounted temperature sensor is 0 degrees, the current battery voltage collected by the voltage sensor is 5%, and according to table 1, the current SOC actual value is 3.147. And step 33, obtaining a current SOC theoretical value by an ampere-hour integration method according to the formula (4), wherein the difference exists between the actual value and the theoretical value of the SOC, and the difference is mainly caused by factors such as open loop detection and multi-link errors.
The calibration is carried out in the step, and the specific mode is that the SOC theoretical value is close to the SOC true value at the change speed of 0.2%/min, and finally the numerical value on the electric automobile instrument is close to the true value, so that the real related information about the endurance mileage is provided for drivers and passengers.
Step 41, when the bus current is judged to be greater than 4A in the step 2 and the standing time is not more than 30 minutes, the current electric automobile is in a motion state, and dynamic calibration is adopted in the motion state;
step 42, determining the available capacity and the charge-discharge cut-off voltage according to the current temperature,
this step is similar to the aforementioned step S32, where a table lookup is performed to obtain the current actual value of SOC.
Step 43, checking the SOC from time to time by combining ampere-hour integration, SOC balance, full charge correction and full discharge correction, displaying the change of the SOC following the SOC,
and 5, after the step 32 and the step 43, obtaining a calibrated real SOC, wherein the SOC value represents the relevant information of the endurance mileage.
Through above-mentioned multiple mode, can improve SOC's precision, and then make continuation of the journey accurately predict, be favorable to the customer to make more reasonable planning according to the continuation of the journey mileage.
