Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for determining a status value of a traction battery of an electric vehicle, which characterizes the aging status of the traction battery, preferably a SoH value of the traction battery, the traction battery being charged or discharged by means of a test load and at least one time
  • the respective pair of values of an output voltage and a charging or discharging current of the traction battery is detected, with an ohmic internal resistance of the traction battery being determined on the basis of the recorded value pair of the output voltage and the charging or discharging current, and based on the determined ohmic internal resistance the status value of the traction battery is determined.
  • Electric vehicles are increasingly being used to reduce emissions of gases that are harmful to the climate, especially CO2 in the transport sector. This applies not only to passenger cars, but also to trucks. At least part of the electrical energy required to operate the electric vehicles is temporarily stored in a traction battery and made available when required.
  • the mentioned traction battery is therefore a rechargeable battery or an accumulator.
  • the electric vehicles mentioned do not necessarily have to be only those electric vehicles whose operating energy is provided exclusively by the traction battery. Rather, the term “electric vehicle” also includes vehicles in which an electric drive is combined with another drive, for example an internal combustion engine, ie so-called hybrid vehicles. Furthermore, the term “electric vehicle” includes not only vehicles in which the traction battery is charged from an external power source, but also those vehicles in which at least part of the electrical operating energy can also be generated on board the vehicle, for example by means of a Fuel cell system and / or by means of solar cells.
  • the term "electric vehicle” also includes any other vehicles in which at least part of the drive energy is provided by the traction battery, for example bicycles with electric drive support, such as e-bikes, pedelecs, cargo bikes, e-scooters, or electrically powered small scooters ler, but also electrically powered wheelchairs.
  • bicycles with electric drive support such as e-bikes, pedelecs, cargo bikes, e-scooters, or electrically powered small scooters ler, but also electrically powered wheelchairs.
  • traction batteries with battery cells based on lithium-ion technology are widely used as traction batteries.
  • traction batteries are also used, the battery cells of which are based on lead technology, which has long been known.
  • the method described here and its advantageous refinements are in any case not restricted to a specific battery cell type, but can in principle be applied to different types of traction batteries or battery cell types.
  • Traction batteries in electric vehicles like other types of rechargeable batteries, such as those used in cell phones or other electrical or electronic devices, are subject to an aging process that is caused by both aging and usage, i.e. the number the charge and discharge cycles, is determined.
  • the aging process of a traction battery leads, among other things, to the fact that the storage capacity of the traction battery decreases over time.
  • the storage capacity can vary significantly depending on the actual use of the traction battery. Particularly severe aging and the associated decrease in storage capacity are caused by high temperatures, high charging and / or discharging currents, deep discharging or high continuous loads.
  • FIG. 1 An exemplary aging curve of a traction battery is shown in FIG. 1.
  • this curve indicates the actual storage capacity or capacity Q in ampere-hours (Ah) as a function of the number of aging cycles N.
  • the experiment on which the curve is based was carried out at an ambient temperature of the traction battery of 40 ° C.
  • the charging current was 1 C, while the discharge current was 3 C for the determination of the aging cycles.
  • the values of 1 C or 3 C mean that the variable C represents the charging or discharging current in amperes (A) with the numerical values of the nominal storage capacity QN of the traction battery.
  • the actual storage capacity Q of a traction battery can therefore not only be measured by completely discharging a fully charged traction battery and continuously measuring the discharge current and discharge time, but also by means of an alternative method in which a test load is applied to the Basis of a respective value pair of an output voltage that has been determined at least at one point in time and a charging or discharging current of the traction battery, the ohmic internal resistance of the traction battery is determined.
  • the relationship between the actual capacitance Q and the ohmic internal resistance Ri of a traction battery is shown as an example in FIG.
  • a test load can be designed as a load resistor, ie an energy sink or current consumer, which effects a discharge current, or as a charger, ie an energy source or current generator, which effects a charging current.
  • a load current can accordingly be a discharge current or a charging current.
  • a status value of the traction battery can then be determined, which characterizes the aging status of the traction battery.
  • the actual storage capacity of the traction battery for example, can be determined as a status value.
  • SoFI value is used synonymously for the term "health value” (SoFI stands for "State of Health”).
  • SoH value describes the ratio of the current, aging-related reduced storage capacity of the traction battery to its original, ideal or nominal storage capacity and is usually given as a percentage.
  • the above-mentioned determination of the ohmic internal resistance of the traction battery on the basis of a recorded pair of values of the output voltage and the charging or discharging current when applying a known test load is based on an electrical model or an equivalent circuit diagram for a battery or a battery cell.
  • Such an exemplary equivalent circuit diagram which characterizes the structure of a battery cell consisting of a voltage source, various resistors Ri to R4 and various capacitors C2 to C4, is shown in FIG. 3. It is also possible to use different equivalent circuit diagrams, for example with only one serial ohmic internal resistance R1 and one RC element R2, C2.
  • SoC battery state of charge
  • SoFI state of charge of the battery
  • Li ohmic resistance
  • SoC state of charge
  • the SoC describes the current state of charge of accumulators and is usually given in percentages, with 100% representing a fully charged accumulator. 100% minus the value of the state of charge gives the degree of discharge (DoD or DOD - depth of discharge).
  • the ohmic resistance Ri decreases significantly with increasing temperature. It was also found that the ohmic resistance Ri remains almost constant in a large SoC range of generally 10 to 90%, in particular from 30 to 90%. Only when the battery is more than 90% discharged can a sharp increase in the ohmic resistance Ri be observed.
  • the investigations carried out on individual cells have shown that essentially only the temperature and aging have a significant influence on the values of the resistances and the capacities of the replacement model, whereas the state of charge of the cells has hardly any influence on the ohmic resistance.
  • FIG. 10 shows a tendency for the internal resistance Ri to increase when a traction battery is continuously discharged, with the influence of other RC elements over time, see the battery equivalent circuit diagram in FIG , ie with long-term loading, a clearly non-linear internal resistance develops, which can be a multiple of the internal resistance Ri in the idle state.
  • An alternative diagnostic method is impedance spectroscopy. This determines an impedance, i.e. the alternating current resistance, of a traction battery as a function of the frequency of an alternating voltage or alternating current. Impedance spectroscopy is usually carried out by impressing an alternating voltage, i.e. the potential of the working electrode is sinusoidally modulated and the current and its phase are measured. However, this requires direct galvanic access to the battery and a complex interpretation of the results. For the technical investigation and / or evaluation of electric vehicles, in particular a mercantile evaluation of used vehicles, it is desirable to know the condition of the traction battery regardless of environmental influences or specific measurement conditions.
  • At least one normalization variable characterizing the traction battery is determined, that on the basis of the determined ohmic internal resistance and the at least one normalization variable, a normalized internal resistance related to a reference value of the normalization variable is determined, with the determination of the status value of the traction battery on the Based on the standardized internal resistance.
  • the ohmic internal resistance of the traction battery can be normalized to one or more normalization variables.
  • These normalization variables are, in particular, parameters which each characterize a property or a state of the traction battery and which can have an influence on the value of the internal resistance determined.
  • An example of a normalization variable is the temperature of the traction battery, which will be explained in more detail below.
  • the normalized internal resistance can also be determined in several iterations, with the respective normalized internal resistance being determined in a subsequent normalization step on the basis of the normalized internal resistance determined in the previous normalization step and the at least one normalization variable of the subsequent one In the normalization step, a further normalized internal resistance related to a reference value of this normalization variable is determined.
  • the measured ohmic internal resistance is therefore converted into an internal resistance standardized to one or more normalization variables, which enables internal resistance measurements to be compared that were carried out on different traction batteries and under different conditions by eliminating the boundary conditions for determining internal resistance as a result of normalization.
  • the state value for example the SoH value of the traction battery, can then finally be determined from the normalized internal resistance, with a mathematical function or a table, both for example a lookup table can be used as a basis.
  • the charge or discharge is designed using a test load in such a way that the charge current or discharge current changes according to a step function.
  • the charge current or discharge current changes according to a step function.
  • provision can be made for several pairs of values to be recorded before and after the load jump, with the time interval being able to be equidistant or also variant.
  • the measured value density is preferably increased directly in the area of the load current.
  • the determination of a standardized internal resistance for determining the state value can be carried out in a simple manner.
  • An exemplary determination using a characteristic curve function can be carried out with little technical signal processing effort.
  • a conceivable alternative solution, in which a reference characteristic diagram is used as the basis, which must take into account a large number of relevant parameters, is significantly more complex than the solution according to the invention.
  • the standardization method according to the invention enables a significant reduction in the cost of an initial characterization of a respective battery cell type to determine the relationship between the stated state value and the ohmic internal resistance. This makes it possible to quickly and economically assess different types of traction batteries, which can also have different states of aging, with regard to their state, in particular their SoH.
  • the condition of the traction battery can be determined very quickly in a few minutes with low fault tolerance and inexpensively and without dismantling.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized by a low energy load on the traction battery. Furthermore, only compact, inexpensive test equipment is required as a diagnostic device. There are only relatively few errors due to the standardization methodology and independence from energy buffers provided by the manufacturer is achieved. Direct galvanic access to the traction battery or to measuring points for current / voltage measurements is not necessary.
  • the measured values can be picked up indirectly via a diagnostic interface of the vehicle, ie the OBD interface (on-board diagnosis). Measured values can be picked up via a standardized connector via a serial interface with standardized protocol such as K-line or via the CAN bus. This can usually be done using a plug dongle with, if necessary, a wireless connection to a diagnostic device, for example in the form of a mobile data terminal such as a smartphone, tablet or notebook.
  • the discharging takes place as part of an evaluation drive of the electric vehicle, the test load being formed by an assembly of the electric vehicle, preferably by a drive motor of the electric vehicle.
  • the test load can be switched on to initiate the charging or discharging process, for example, by briefly strong acceleration and subsequent braking. Braking for the determination of the internal resistance can also be omitted and is primarily for test drive-specific reasons. This results in a significant load on the traction battery. A distance of less than 100 m, preferably up to 50 m, for example, can be sufficient for such an evaluation drive. If necessary, the evaluation run can be repeated one or more times.
  • boundary conditions of this evaluation run which are suitable for influencing the load current (for example the The type of electric vehicle, the prevailing weather conditions, the conditions, the condition of the road, the inclination of the road, a load on the electric vehicle or the influences of a control of the drive motor) are taken into account, for example, by specifying respective areas for the boundary conditions that are not under - or may be exceeded.
  • the boundary conditions can also be taken into account by including them in the process in the form of one or more further characterizing nomination variables.
  • the exposure time of the test load can be very short in the range of 10-100 ms up to 10 seconds. However, test loads can last from 1 second to 30 seconds, even up to 2 minutes, in particular between 5 to 15 minutes.
  • the load current can regularly be a discharge current, but it can also be an impressed charging current.
  • a first normalization variable is a temperature of the traction battery while the values of the output voltage and the load current are being recorded, and the reference value of the first nomination variable is a reference temperature.
  • the internal resistance determined at a specific battery temperature can be converted to a standardized internal resistance based on the reference temperature.
  • a second normalization variable preferably characterizes a type of traction battery
  • the reference value of the second normalization variable is a normalization factor which relates different types of traction batteries to one another, the normalization factor being specified on the basis of at least one battery type parameter.
  • the battery type parameter can, for example, characterize the cell type of the traction battery, for example lithium-ion or lead technology, and / or also represent the type of arrangement of the cells of the traction battery, for example a respective number of battery cells connected in series and / or in parallel.
  • the normalization factor is preferably obtained empirically, for example by reference measurements on new batteries of the respective type.
  • mathematical or statistical methods can also be used in addition to the determination of the normalization factor, for example an interpolation or extrapolation, i.e. the battery type parameter or the associated second normalization factor for a battery with a specific number of rows connected in parallel and a specific one Number of batteries per row has been determined can be converted to batteries for which the specified number of cells deviates from this.
  • the normalization factor is usually dimensionless.
  • other normalization variables such as the degree of charge (SoC) of the traction battery, can also be taken into account.
  • the state value is determined on the basis of the normalized internal resistance using a mathematical model or a table, preferably a lookup table or a characteristic field, with preferably parameters or values that the mathematical model or the table describe to be retrieved from a database.
  • the database is preferably stored on a server, the parameters or values being called up via a wireless and / or wired data connection, for example a mobile data connection or an Internet connection.
  • the status value can thus be normalized, i.e. converted into a comparable value by using reference values.
  • a first normalization variable is a temperature of the traction battery during the acquisition of the values of the output voltage and the load current and the reference value of the first normalization variable is a reference temperature.
  • the temperature of the traction battery is determined in that, in a first measuring step, a first ambient temperature at a first point in time and a first ohmic internal resistance of the traction battery is determined, and a second ambient temperature and a second ohmic resistance of the traction battery are determined in a second measuring step after a predetermined period of time has elapsed at a second point in time.
  • An internal resistance change rate is determined on the basis of the difference between the first and the second ohmic internal resistance and the predetermined time period. On the basis of the internal resistance change rate, a temperature difference between the ambient temperature and the temperature of the traction battery is determined. The temperature of the traction battery is determined by adding a reference ambient temperature determined from the first and / or the second ambient temperature and the determined difference temperature.
  • the ohmic internal resistance of the traction battery depends to a considerable extent on the temperature of the traction battery.
  • direct access to the traction battery to determine the battery voltage and the charging or discharging current is not possible.
  • These parameters, as well as current and voltage values are regularly provided at an interface of a vehicle diagnostic system (OBD for on-board diagnosis), for example in the form of value pairs that are generated with a specific fixed or variable sampling rate.
  • OBD vehicle diagnostic system
  • the battery temperature which can possibly be determined by the vehicle diagnostic system at one or more points, is not provided or is only provided in encrypted form. Under certain circumstances, reading out the battery temperature is only possible with considerable additional expenditure in terms of time or processing technology, with additional manufacturer-specific peculiarities often having to be taken into account.
  • the aforementioned embodiment of the method provides a possibility of determining the battery temperature in an indirect way. This makes use of the fact that a battery temperature deviating from the ambient temperature adjusts itself to the ambient temperature over time, at least if The battery temperature is not influenced by longer charging and / or discharging processes.
  • the adaptation of the battery temperature to the ambient temperature follows a so-called acclimatization gradient, which is characteristic of the type of battery used and depends, among other things, on the design of the traction battery, in particular on the number and arrangement of the battery cells contained in the traction battery.
  • the traction battery has a rate of change in its internal resistance, ie a resistance difference per unit of time, which depends on the difference between the battery temperature and the ambient temperature, ie on the temperature difference mentioned.
  • the temperature difference present at the time of measurement can be determined.
  • the temperature of the traction battery then results from the reference ambient temperature and the determined difference temperature, the reference ambient temperature can be determined for example by forming the mean value of the first and the second ambient temperature. Assuming that the ambient temperature has not changed or has not changed significantly between the two times mentioned, the reference ambient temperature can also be set equal to the first or the second ambient temperature.
  • the above-mentioned predetermined period of time between the two measuring steps is preferably between five and fifteen minutes. During this period, a sufficiently large change in the traction battery temperature can be expected, which results in a corresponding change in the ohmic internal resistance of the traction battery.
  • the first ohmic internal resistance can be used to determine the status value of the traction battery.
  • the state value of the traction battery is determined on the basis of the second ohmic internal resistance. For this is assumed that the battery temperature at the time the second ohmic internal resistance was determined has approached the ambient temperature more than it was at the first time. It follows from this that, due to the lower differential temperature, the rate of internal resistance change also decreases, which improves the measurement accuracy. In addition, there is no need to measure the ohmic internal resistance again, since the ohmic internal resistance actually measured for determining the temperature at the second point in time can also be used to determine the state value.
  • the current curve of the load current changes.
  • This can be designed, for example, as a current ramp, i.e. a linear rise or fall in a charging or discharging current.
  • the loading or unloading takes place by means of the test load in such a way that when the test load is applied, the load current has a current jump.
  • the load current can thus be measured in the form of a step response.
  • a measuring sequence of pairs of values for the output voltage and the load current is recorded, the measuring sequence comprising a plurality of pairs of values for the output voltage and the load current recorded at quickly successive points in time.
  • An impedance consists of an imaginary part, i.e. a reactance, and a real part, i.e. an ohmic resistance. The reactance is usually negligibly small, so that the impedance estimates the ohmic resistance quite precisely.
  • the measurement sequence thus represents the step response to the load or current jump generated when the test load is applied.
  • the time intervals between the Points in time at which the respective pairs of values are recorded can be constant (ie a fixed sampling frequency or rate is provided) or also vary, with the time density preferably being increased at the point in time of the load jump. If necessary, the time intervals between the points in time can also be specified by the OBD and cannot be influenced.
  • the measurement sequence can be recorded in such a way that a first pair of values is recorded at the latest immediately at the time the test load is applied, although the recording of the measurement sequence is preferably also a few milliseconds before the Current jump can take place. This case is therefore also included in the expression "beginning with the application of the test load".
  • the ohmic internal resistance can be determined as the quotient of the difference between the recorded output voltage and the open-circuit voltage Uo and the difference between the recorded load current and the closed-circuit current for a respective further value pair of the measurement sequence.
  • parameters of a logarithmic function can be determined for the measurement sequence by means of a mathematical compensation calculation, which models the course of the measurement sequence, with the ohmic internal resistance at a desired point in time, preferably at the time of the current jump, or on the basis of the logarithmic function can be determined at least approximately at a corresponding frequency.
  • the idle voltage Uo or idle current low is understood to mean the output voltage or load current which is present when the traction battery is loaded with a base load, the base load having a substantial higher ohmic resistance than the test load. Investigations have shown that the course of the internal resistance over time shows the course of a logarithmic function immediately after the test load is applied.
  • the ohmic internal resistance can be determined particularly precisely, since the actually measured internal resistance can be determined at a desired point in time, in particular in relation to the point in time of the current jump.
  • the internal resistance Ri can take place at a point in time which is very close to the switch-on point in time of the load to, or at another point in time ti with relatively high accuracy, even if no or only imprecise data is available for this point in time stand.
  • Recourse to a compensation function is also particularly advantageous if the time relationship between the times at which a respective pair of values was recorded and the time at which the current jump occurred (switching on of the test load) cannot be precisely logged.
  • the temporal relationship can then be determined subsequently from the course of the logarithmic function, for example by introducing a temporal shift constant t 0 y set , whereby by maximizing a coefficient of determination R 2 with variation of the shift constant to / fset between the function curve and the measured values is possible. lent an exact estimate of the jump time can be determined.
  • the degree of certainty R 2 describes a goodness of fit of a regression, in particular a regression function of the internal resistance behavior, in order to evaluate how well the measured values fit the assumed model of the internal resistance.
  • the compensation function By evaluating the compensation function, the fact that the internal resistance of the traction battery has a complex value is also taken into account, ie it includes a frequency-independent real part and a frequency-dependent imaginary part.
  • the real part of the complex internal resistance corresponds to the ohmic internal resistance, depending on the test conditions, this is usually not directly measurable.
