Description

本発明は、通信機器等の直流負荷に無瞬断で安定した電力を供給するリチウムイオン二次電池をバックアップ用に使用した電力供給システムに係り、特に、リチウムイオン二次電池の短絡、開放、過放電、過充電が生じた場合、これらを早期に検出し、組電池を保護する機能を有する直流電力供給システムに開する。   The present invention relates to a power supply system that uses a lithium ion secondary battery for supplying a stable power to a DC load such as a communication device without instantaneous interruption, and in particular, short-circuiting and opening a lithium ion secondary battery, When overdischarge and overcharge occur, these are detected at an early stage, and the DC power supply system having a function of protecting the assembled battery is opened.

図7に、リチウムイオン二次電池を使用した従来の直流電力供給システムの構成を示す(特許文献1を参照)。図7に示すように、従来の電力供給システムは、商用電源101を直流電力に変換し,出力する直流電源102と、複数のリチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nが直列接続されてなる組電池103と、組電池を構成する各リチウムイオン二次電池に、それぞれ対応して設けられ、各リチウムイオン二次電池の電圧調整を行う電圧調整回路104−1〜104−nと、電池切離しスイッチ105と、電圧プローブ106と、制御部107とを有している。   FIG. 7 shows a configuration of a conventional DC power supply system using a lithium ion secondary battery (see Patent Document 1). As shown in FIG. 7, a conventional power supply system includes a battery pack 103 in which a DC power supply 102 that converts commercial power supply 101 into DC power and outputs it, and a plurality of lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n are connected in series. A voltage adjusting circuit 104-1 to 104-n that is provided corresponding to each lithium ion secondary battery constituting the assembled battery and performs voltage adjustment of each lithium ion secondary battery, and a battery disconnecting switch 105, The voltage probe 106 and the control unit 107 are included.

制御部107と電池切離しスイッチ105、電圧調整回路104−1〜104nとの間は制御線108により接続されている。110は、直流負荷である。
直流負荷には、直流電源102または組電池103より直流電力が供給されるようになっている。
A control line 108 is connected between the control unit 107, the battery disconnect switch 105, and the voltage adjustment circuits 104-1 to 104n. 110 is a DC load.
The direct current power is supplied from the direct current power source 102 or the assembled battery 103 to the direct current load.

このように構成された直流電力供給システムにおいて、直列接続された複数個のリチウムイオン二次電池を充電する場合、全ての電池の容量あるいは内部抵抗が常に同じであればバランス良く充電できる。
しかしながら、実際には、電池の容量あるいは内部抵抗には若干のばらつきが存在する。
更に、初期において同じ内部抵抗であったとしても長期の充電により、時間が経過していくと電池の内部特性が変化し、電池の容量および内部抵抗も変化する。
In the DC power supply system configured as described above, when charging a plurality of lithium ion secondary batteries connected in series, if the capacity or internal resistance of all the batteries is always the same, the batteries can be charged with good balance.
In practice, however, there is some variation in battery capacity or internal resistance.
Furthermore, even if the internal resistance is the same in the initial stage, the internal characteristics of the battery change as time passes due to long-term charging, and the capacity and internal resistance of the battery also change.

その結果、各リチウムイオン二次電池のバランスが崩れ、組電池内のセル電圧にバラツキが発生する。
そこで、直列接続された複数個のリチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nを充電する場合、各リチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nに、電圧調整回路104−1〜104−nと、各電池の端子電圧の監視と電圧調整回路104−1〜104−nの制御を行う制御部102とを設け、任意の電池が充電完了電圧に達した場合、その充電完了したリチウムイオン二次電池に対応して設けられた電圧調整回路を動作させ、充電電流をバイパスさせ、全てのリチウムイオン二次電池が充電電圧に到達するまで一セル(電池)づつ充電することで、各リチウムイオン二次電池の充電電圧を均一にしている。
As a result, the balance of each lithium ion secondary battery is lost, and the cell voltage in the assembled battery varies.
Therefore, when charging a plurality of lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n connected in series, each of the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n is connected to a voltage adjusting circuit 104-1 to 104-n and a terminal voltage of each battery. And a control unit 102 for controlling the voltage adjustment circuits 104-1 to 104-n. When any battery reaches the charge completion voltage, it is provided corresponding to the lithium ion secondary battery that has been charged. The voltage regulation circuit is operated, the charging current is bypassed, and the charging voltage of each lithium ion secondary battery is charged by charging one cell (battery) until all lithium ion secondary batteries reach the charging voltage. It is uniform.

また、過充電、過放電の保護として、電池切離しスイッチ105を組電池103の充放電経路に直列に接続している。このスイッチは、組電池103を構成するリチウムイオン二次電池の保護のための回路切離しが主目的であり、任意のリチウムイオン二次電池の電圧が電池の安全上問題となる電圧(例.4.2V)まで上昇した際(過充電)、及び、電池の特性が回復不能なまでに劣化する電圧(例.3.0V)まで低下した際(過放電)に開放される。
特開2003−217675号公報
Further, as protection against overcharge and overdischarge, a battery disconnect switch 105 is connected in series with the charge / discharge path of the assembled battery 103. The main purpose of this switch is to disconnect the circuit for protection of the lithium ion secondary battery constituting the assembled battery 103, and the voltage at which the voltage of any lithium ion secondary battery becomes a problem in terms of battery safety (example 4.2) It is released when the voltage rises to V) (overcharge) and when the voltage drops to a voltage that deteriorates before the battery characteristics cannot be recovered (eg 3.0V) (overdischarge).
JP 2003-217675 A

しかしながら、上述した従来の電力供給システムは、組電池103における任意のリチウムイオン二次電池が異常な電圧に到達した時点で電池切離しスイッチ105を開放するため、万が一、電池切離しスイッチ105が開放後に停電が発生しても放電経路が切離されているので、直流負荷110に電力を供給することができない。
一方、リチウムイオン二次電池は、電池容量を増加させるには、並列接続する必要がある。図7に示す従来の直流電力供給システムでは、電圧調整回路が各リチウムイオン二次電池について必要になる。
However, the above-described conventional power supply system opens the battery disconnection switch 105 when an arbitrary lithium ion secondary battery in the assembled battery 103 reaches an abnormal voltage, so that a power failure occurs after the battery disconnection switch 105 is opened. Even if this occurs, since the discharge path is disconnected, power cannot be supplied to the DC load 110.
On the other hand, lithium ion secondary batteries need to be connected in parallel to increase battery capacity. In the conventional DC power supply system shown in FIG. 7, a voltage adjustment circuit is required for each lithium ion secondary battery.

そこで、この電圧調整回路の数量を減らすために、並列接続した組電池毎に電圧調整回路を設けることが有効である。
しかし、このようにリチウムイオン二次電池(セルと記す。)を直並列に接続した場合、任意のセルが短絡すると、並列接続した組電池が全て完全放電し、異常な電圧に到達した時点で電池切離しスイッチを開放するため、万が一、スイッチ開放後に停電が発生しても放電経路が切離されているので、直流負荷に電力を供給することができないという問題が有った。
Therefore, in order to reduce the number of voltage adjustment circuits, it is effective to provide a voltage adjustment circuit for each assembled battery connected in parallel.
However, when lithium ion secondary batteries (referred to as cells) are connected in series and parallel as described above, when any cell is short-circuited, all the connected batteries connected in parallel are completely discharged and reach an abnormal voltage. Since the battery disconnection switch is opened, there is a problem that power cannot be supplied to the DC load because the discharge path is disconnected even if a power failure occurs after the switch is opened.

一方、停電時に無瞬断で直流負荷3に電力を供給できるように直列接続された複数個のリチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nがあり、これらのリチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nは、リチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nを充電するための充電手段である直流電源2の出力端に接続されている。
In FIG. 1, a DC power source 2 converts AC commercial power into DC and supplies power to the DC load 3.
On the other hand, there are a plurality of lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n connected in series so that electric power can be supplied to the DC load 3 without interruption in the event of a power failure.

Sometimes a signal to turn on the semiconductor switch is output.

次に、上記構成からなる直流電力供給システムの動作を、図3を参照して説明する。リチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nが直列に接続された組電池内の各セル(リチウムイオン二次電池)の端子電圧を監視し、電圧調整回路8の故障などで、充電中に任意のセル、例えば1nセルの電圧プローブ10でモニターしている端子電圧が規定値(例. 4.2V)になった際、即ち1nセル過充電検出時には、リチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nと直列に接続されているIGBT5をオフ状態とし、組電池への充電電流の流入を防止する。   Next, the operation of the DC power supply system configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. The terminal voltage of each cell (lithium ion secondary battery) in the assembled battery in which the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n are connected in series is monitored, and any cell during charging due to a failure of the voltage adjustment circuit 8 or the like, For example, when the terminal voltage monitored by the voltage probe 10 of the 1n cell reaches a specified value (eg, 4.2V), that is, when 1n cell overcharge is detected, the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n are connected in series. The IGBT 5 is turned off to prevent the charging current from flowing into the assembled battery.

このように第1のスイッチ手段としてのIGBT5を非導通状態にし、万が一、停電が発生してもリチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nと直列に接続したダイオード4を介して、直流負荷3に電力を供給することができる。
また、任意のセル、例えば1nセルが充電中及び放電中に短絡もしくは開放検出した際には、電圧プローブ10でモニターしている端子電圧が0Vになることから、リチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nと直列に接続されているIGBT5をオフ状態とし、かつ1nセルに並列に接続されているIGBT7をオン状態とするとともに、1nセルに直列に接続されているIGBT7をオフ状態にすることで、上記同様、停電時の直流負荷3への電力供給を行うことができる。
In this way, the IGBT 5 as the first switch means is turned off, and even if a power failure occurs, power is supplied to the DC load 3 through the diode 4 connected in series with the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n. Can be supplied.
Further, when any cell, for example, a 1n cell, detects a short circuit or an open state during charging and discharging, the terminal voltage monitored by the voltage probe 10 becomes 0 V, so the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n. The IGBT 5 connected in series with the 1n cell is turned off, the IGBT 7 connected in parallel with the 1n cell is turned on, and the IGBT 7 connected in series with the 1n cell is turned off. Similarly, power can be supplied to the DC load 3 during a power failure.

ただし、この場合、短絡または開放した1nセルは、放電できないため、リチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nから直流負荷3に電力供給できるバックアップ時間は減少するが、従来の直流電力供給システムのように電力供給の停止という事態は防ぐことができる。
ところで、第1のスイッチ手段としてのIGBT5を設けず、任意のセルが短絡もしくは開放した状態で組電池を充電すると、それまでV/n(V:組電池充電電圧、n:直列接続した電池の個数)で単セルあたり充電していたものが、V/(n−1)となり、単セルあたりの充電電圧が上昇し、電池の特性が大きく低下したり、安全弁が作動して使用不能となったりする恐れがある。
However, in this case, since the 1n cell that is short-circuited or opened cannot be discharged, the backup time during which power can be supplied from the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n to the DC load 3 is reduced. Suspension of supply can be prevented.
By the way, if the assembled battery is charged without providing the IGBT 5 as the first switch means and any cell is short-circuited or opened, V / n (V: assembled battery charging voltage, n: battery connected in series until then) The number of cells charged per unit cell becomes V / (n-1), the charging voltage per unit cell rises, the characteristics of the battery deteriorates significantly, and the safety valve operates and becomes unusable. There is a risk that.

したがって、第1のスイッチ手段としてのIGBT5を設けて充電回路としての直流電源2を切離すことは、直流電力供給システムの安全を確保する上で重要な機能であることが分かる。
一方、停電などにより、リチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nから直流負荷3に電力を供給する場合、リチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nの電圧は低下していき、いずれは順番に全セルが規定値(例.3.0V)の電圧、即ち、過放電電圧に到達する。規定値(例.3.0V)の電圧に到達したセルについては、電池放電を停止しないと、電池の特性が回復不能なまでに劣化する恐れがある。
Therefore, it can be seen that providing the IGBT 5 as the first switch means and disconnecting the DC power supply 2 as the charging circuit is an important function in securing the safety of the DC power supply system.
On the other hand, when power is supplied from the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n to the DC load 3 due to a power failure or the like, the voltage of the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n decreases, and all the cells are sequentially set to the specified value. A voltage of (eg 3.0V), that is, an overdischarge voltage is reached. For cells that have reached a specified value (eg, 3.0V), battery characteristics may deteriorate until the battery cannot be recovered unless battery discharge is stopped.

そこで、本電力供給システムでは、任意のセル、例えば1nセルが過放電電圧に到達した際には、電圧プローブ10でモニターしている端子電圧が3.0Vになったことを制御部9で検出次第、1nセルに並列に接続した第3のスイッチ手段としてのIGBT7をオン状態にし、かつ第2のスイッチ手段としてのIGBT6をオフ状態とし、その他のセルについても、規定値(例.3.0V)の電圧に到達次第、IGBT6をオフ状態、IGBT7をオン状態とするように制御し、各セル電圧が3.0V以下になるのを防止している。   Therefore, in this power supply system, when any cell, for example, 1n cell, reaches the overdischarge voltage, the control unit 9 detects that the terminal voltage monitored by the voltage probe 10 has become 3.0V. The IGBT 7 as the third switch means connected in parallel to the 1n cell is turned on, and the IGBT 6 as the second switch means is turned off. The other cells also have a specified value (eg, 3.0 V). As soon as the voltage is reached, the IGBT 6 is controlled to be turned off and the IGBT 7 is turned on to prevent each cell voltage from becoming 3.0 V or less.

この場合に、直流電源2、及びリチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nは故障していないので、第1のスイッチ手段であるIGBT5はオン状態を維持し、商用電源1が回復次第、リチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nを充電できるようにスタンバイしている。   In this case, since the DC power source 2 and the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n are not out of order, the IGBT 5, which is the first switch means, is kept on, and the commercial power source 1 recovers, and then the lithium ion secondary The batteries 1a to 1n are on standby so that they can be charged.

これまでは、任意のセルが短絡、開放、過充電、過放電状態になった際の直流電力供給システムの動作について述べたが、上記の状態とは異なるモードでリチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nが不具合を発生した場合の検出方法を以下に示す。
リチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nは、特性にバラツキがなければ、電圧調整回路8の動作により、設定した充電電圧に各セルの端子電圧は均一化されるが、何らかの電池の不具合により、維持充電中、もしくは、回復充電中に電流プローブ11で計測した任意のセルのバイパス電流が、他のセルのバイパス電流と比べ非常に小さくなることが起こり得る。この状況を、図4を参照して説明する。
So far, the operation of the DC power supply system when any cell is short-circuited, opened, overcharged or overdischarged has been described, but the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n are in a mode different from the above state. The detection method when a problem occurs is shown below.
If there is no variation in the characteristics of the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n, the terminal voltage of each cell is equalized to the set charging voltage by the operation of the voltage adjustment circuit 8, but it is maintained and charged due to some battery malfunction. It is possible that the bypass current of an arbitrary cell measured by the current probe 11 during recovery charging is very small compared to the bypass current of other cells. This situation will be described with reference to FIG.

例えば、各セルのバイパス電流値が、リチウムイオン二次電池1aが6I、1bが5I、1cが7I、1nがIの電流値だとすると、1nセルの電圧調整回路8の半導体スイッチ80及び電流制限素子81の直列回路を含むバイパス路(図2参照。)に流れるバイパス電流値は他のセルの1/5以下と小さく、1nセルに充電電流が大きく流れていることになる。   For example, assuming that the bypass current value of each cell is 6I for the lithium ion secondary battery 1a, 5I for 1b, 1I for 1c, 7I, and 1n for I, the semiconductor switch 80 and the current limiting element of the voltage regulator circuit 8 for the 1n cell The bypass current value flowing in the bypass path (see FIG. 2) including the 81 series circuit is as small as 1/5 or less of the other cells, and a large charge current flows in the 1n cell.

これは、任意の1nセルの電圧低下により、各バイパス電流の大きさに差が生じたものである。従って、組電池を構成するすべてのリチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1bが正常であれば、バイパス電流値にこれ程の差は出ないので、1nセルの異常とみなし、外部に異常信号を送出する。なお、その際の制御部9における異常判定の閾値は、例えば、組電池の中で最もバイパス電流が小さいセルとその他のセルのバイパス電流の差を制御部9で比較し、最もバイパス電流が小さいセルが他のセルの1/5以下になった場合とするが、これに限らないことは勿論である。   This is a difference in the magnitude of each bypass current due to the voltage drop of any 1n cell. Therefore, if all the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1b constituting the assembled battery are normal, the difference in the bypass current value does not appear so much, so that it is regarded as an abnormality of the 1n cell and an abnormal signal is transmitted to the outside. In addition, the threshold value of the abnormality determination in the control unit 9 at that time is, for example, the difference between the bypass current of the cell having the smallest bypass current and the other cells in the assembled battery is compared by the control unit 9, and the smallest bypass current is obtained. Although it is assumed that the cell becomes 1/5 or less of other cells, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to this.

次に、本発明の第2実施形態に係る直流電力供給システムの構成を図5に示す。
図5に示す第2実施形態に係る直流電力供給システムが図1に示した第1実施形態に係る直流電力供給システムと構成上、異なるのは、複数のリチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nの直列回路の各々の単一のリチウムイオン二次電池の代わりに、均圧線で並列に接続した複数のリチウムイオン二次電池に置換したことであり、他の構成は同一であるので、同一の機能を有する要素には同一の符号を付し、重複する説明は省略する。
Next, FIG. 5 shows a configuration of a DC power supply system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
The direct current power supply system according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5 differs from the direct current power supply system according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in terms of the configuration in series of a plurality of lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n. Instead of each single lithium ion secondary battery in the circuit, it is replaced with a plurality of lithium ion secondary batteries connected in parallel with equalizing wires, and the other functions are the same, so the same function Elements having the same reference numerals are given the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

図1に示した第1実施形態に係る直流電力供給システムの場合、複数個のリチウムイオン二次電池1a〜1nを直列に接続しているが、図5に示す第2実施形態に係る直流電力供給システムでは、例えば、1aの代わりに、電池容量を増加させるために、リチウムイオン二次電池1a、2a、3aを均圧線でつないで、並列に接続している。第1実施の形態における他のリチウムイオン二次電池1b〜1nについても同様である。   In the case of the DC power supply system according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of lithium ion secondary batteries 1a to 1n are connected in series, but the DC power according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. In the supply system, for example, instead of 1a, the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a, 2a, and 3a are connected in parallel by connecting pressure equalizing lines in order to increase the battery capacity. The same applies to the other lithium ion secondary batteries 1b to 1n in the first embodiment.

並列に接続されたリチウムイオン二次電池1a、2a、3aは均圧線により、各セルの電圧を均一化しているので、a組の電池は容量が3倍となった1個の電池と考えることができる。そのため、図5に示すように構成された直流電力供給システムの動作も図6に示すように、第1実施形態に係る直流電力供給システムの動作を示す図3と同様な動作になる。ただし、短絡時と開放時の制御部9の動作が図1に示した第1実施形態に係る直流電力供給システムと異なるので、以下に説明する。   Since the lithium ion secondary batteries 1a, 2a, and 3a connected in parallel equalize the voltage of each cell by means of a pressure equalizing line, the battery of a set is considered as one battery whose capacity is tripled. be able to. Therefore, the operation of the DC power supply system configured as shown in FIG. 5 is the same as that of FIG. 3 showing the operation of the DC power supply system according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. However, the operation of the control unit 9 at the time of short-circuiting and opening is different from that of the DC power supply system according to the first embodiment shown in FIG.

図5に示す直流電力供給システムにおいて、任意のセル、例えば1nセルが短絡した際には、2nセル及び3nセルも1nセルを通して完全放電してしまうため、電圧プローブ10でモニターしているn組目の1nセル、2nセル、3nセルの並列回路の端子電圧は0Vになる。
従って、IGBT5をオフ状態とし、に並列に接続されているIGBT7をオン状態にするとともに、n組目の1nセル、2nセル、3nセルの並列回路にっ直列に接続されているIGBT6をオフ状態にすることで、停電時の直流負荷3への電力供給を行える状態を保つようにする。
In the DC power supply system shown in FIG. 5, when any cell, for example, 1n cell is short-circuited, 2n cell and 3n cell are also completely discharged through 1n cell, so n sets monitored by voltage probe 10 The terminal voltage of the parallel circuit of the 1n cell, 2n cell, and 3n cell is 0V.
Accordingly, the IGBT 5 is turned off, the IGBT 7 connected in parallel to the IGBT 7 is turned on, and the IGBT 6 connected in series by the n-th 1n cell, 2n cell, and 3n cell parallel circuit is turned off. By doing so, the power supply to the DC load 3 at the time of a power failure is maintained.

一方、任意のセル、例えば1nセルが開放した際には、図1に示す第1実施形態に係る直流電力供給システムでは、電圧プローブ10でモニターしている1nセルの端子電圧が0Vになるが、図5に示す第2実施形態に係る直流電力供給システムでは、リチウムイオン二次電池2n、3nが並列接続されているため、セル1nが開放してもn組目の1nセル、2nセル、3nセルの並列回路の端子電圧は0Vにはならず、2nセル、3nセルの端子電圧になる。   On the other hand, when an arbitrary cell, for example, a 1n cell is opened, in the DC power supply system according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the terminal voltage of the 1n cell monitored by the voltage probe 10 becomes 0V. In the DC power supply system according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5, since the lithium ion secondary batteries 2n and 3n are connected in parallel, the n-th 1n cell, 2n cell, The terminal voltage of the parallel circuit of 3n cells does not become 0V, but becomes the terminal voltage of 2n cells and 3n cells.

そのため、制御部9は、図5に示すように直並列に接続されたリチウムイオン二次電池群1a〜1n、2a〜2n,3a〜3nと直列に接続されているIGBT5をオフ状態にし、かつ1nセルに並列に接続されているIGBT7をオフ状態にするとともに、1nセルに直列に接続されているIGBT6をオン状態にすることにより、停電時の直流負荷3への電力供給を行える状態を保つようにしている。   Therefore, the control unit 9 turns off the IGBT 5 connected in series with the lithium ion secondary battery groups 1a to 1n, 2a to 2n, and 3a to 3n connected in series and parallel as shown in FIG. The IGBT 7 connected in parallel to the 1n cell is turned off, and the IGBT 6 connected in series to the 1n cell is turned on to maintain the power supply to the DC load 3 at the time of power failure. I am doing so.
