- the unit cell control unit 121 that has received the command turns on the bypass switch 123 for the discharge time, and causes the bypass resistor 122 to consume the energy stored in the unit cell 111.

- the voltage value of each unit cell 111 is transmitted from the battery control unit 121 to the resistance equalizing unit 154, but when the voltage change ( ⁇ V) is obtained, the current voltage value V (t) and the voltage value among the voltage values are calculated.

That is, for the group of unit cells 111 having a large ⁇ V (large internal resistance), resistance equalization section 154 further performs the predetermined individual shown in FIG. 12 in addition to the conventional equalization control for equalizing SOC variation.
- a command to reduce the voltage or the SOC by the difference equalization execution value is transmitted to the SOC equalization unit 153.
- FIG. 12 shows a control example of the SOC equalization unit 153 according to the command of the resistance equalization unit 154.
- the operation of SOC equalization section 153 described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 is an equalization operation conventionally performed, and the SOC of each unit cell 111 is detected under the condition of detecting SOC variation.
- the minimum SOC is determined, and equalization control is performed so that the SOCs of all the unit cells 111 match the minimum SOC.
- This equalization operation is an operation when the above-mentioned command is not generated from the resistance equalization unit 154.

- FIG. 8 as shown in FIG. 12, the voltage or SOC of the unit cell 111 grouped with ⁇ V as large as compared with the unit cell 111 grouped with ⁇ V as small. Is reduced by a predetermined individual difference equalization execution value.
- the SOC level is uniform due to SOC equalization.
- the group of unit cells 111 having a large internal resistance has a low voltage or SOC
- the group of unit cells 111 having a small internal resistance in comparison with it has the assembled battery 110 left in a state where the voltage or the SOC is high.
- the battery 110 will be used. Therefore, since control is always performed in a state in which the deterioration of the internal resistance is uniformed, the progress of the deterioration of the group of the single cells 111 having a large internal resistance is suppressed as compared with the single cell 111 having a small internal resistance. As a result, the battery assembly 110 can be managed in the direction in which the difference in internal resistance between the two groups is eliminated.

And “x” will be distributed between the line in ⁇ V and the line of ⁇ V large.
- the individual difference equalization execution value shown in FIG. 12 is preferably determined in consideration of the measurement accuracy of the voltage detection circuit 124 provided in the single cell control unit 121. For example, if the voltage or SOC is reduced by adopting the voltage measurement error or the individual difference equalization execution value more than the SOC estimation error generated according to the measurement accuracy, the voltage or SOC is reliably reduced compared to the others. It can be determined that
- the unit cell 111 having a high voltage or SOC is likely to reach the upper limit voltage, so the allowable charging current and the allowable charging power need to be limited to a small value.
- the unit cell 111 with low voltage or SOC tends to reach the lower limit voltage, it is necessary to limit the allowable discharge current and the allowable discharge power to a small value.
- step S 906 resistance equalization section 154 limits allowable current and allowable power to allowable power estimation section 152 so that charge / discharge control of assembled battery 110 can be reliably performed even if voltage or SOC variation occurs.
- the limit command value the influence of the allowable current value and the allowable power value generated from the voltage or SOC variation generated by the command of the resistance equalizing unit 154 is obtained in advance, and this is used as the limit command during the resistance equalizing unit 154 operation. It should be a value.
- the limit command value can be set according to various conditions such as the temperature and the deterioration condition of the unit cell 111.
- the upper limit SOC or the lower limit SOC determined when using the single cell 111 or the assembled battery 110 may be changed to a lower value. If it is desired to reduce the influence of the restriction command value only on the discharge side of the assembled battery 110, the upper limit SOC or the lower limit SOC may be changed to the higher side, contrary to the charge side. As described above, by changing the SOC range in use of the single battery 111 or the assembled battery 110 low or high, the influence of the restriction command value can be reduced even on the charging or discharging side alone.
- ⁇ V of each unit cell 111 is monitored based on the processing content of the resistance equalizing unit 154 of FIG. 9. And, when the difference of the calculated ⁇ V, ie, the difference of the internal resistance becomes small and becomes within the allowable range, the voltage or SOC of one or more of the unit cells 111 used in the state of high voltage or SOC Is reduced by operating the SOC equalization unit 153 to equalize the voltage or the SOC. If a difference occurs in ⁇ V again, the differences in ⁇ V are equalized based on the process of FIG.
- the resistance equalization process includes the calculation of ⁇ V and the discharge process based on the ⁇ V. If the battery pack 110 is being used, ⁇ V can be determined, but in order to determine ⁇ V more accurately, it is preferable to obtain ⁇ V when the battery state is more stable, For example, it is preferable that the vehicle be activated. In addition, even when the discharge process based on ⁇ V is performed, it is not always necessary to calculate ⁇ V at that time. For example, a method may be employed in which the discharge process is performed using ⁇ V obtained at the time of starting the vehicle, and when a new ⁇ V is acquired next, the discharge process is performed with that ⁇ V thereafter.
- the resistance equalizing unit 154 indirectly detects the magnitude relationship of the internal resistance based on the magnitude relationship of ⁇ V, and determines the magnitude relationship of the SOC of the single battery 111 based on the magnitude relationship of ⁇ V. Then, by utilizing the function of the SOC equalizing means 153, the voltage or the SOC is controlled so that the individual difference in the internal resistance is alleviated. That is, a cell having a small internal resistance increases the voltage or SOC, and a cell having a large internal resistance decreases the voltage or SOC. Thereby, since the SOC difference corresponding to the performance difference of the plurality of unit cells 111 connected in series is provided to each unit cell 111, the battery pack 110 is always held in the direction to eliminate the performance difference. It is possible to realize the battery pack 110 in which the deterioration state is more uniform, and to facilitate the optimum management of the battery pack 110.
- the magnitude relationship of the internal resistance is determined based on the magnitude relationship of ⁇ V.
- the calculation of R ⁇ V / ⁇ I is performed to obtain each single unit. It is also possible to obtain the internal resistance value in the battery 111. If the internal resistance value is used, the magnitude relationship of the internal resistance can be grasped directly, and the above-described processing according to the magnitude of the internal resistance can be similarly performed. However, it is necessary to be careful about the simultaneousness of current value detection and voltage value detection.
- the battery pack 110 is SOC-managed to maintain a central SOC located between the upper limit SOC for limiting charging and the lower limit SOC for limiting discharging. Ru. Therefore, there is a high probability that the SOC at the start and stop of the power storage device will be the central SOC. Therefore, there is a high probability that the condition that the SOC equalization unit 153 detects the SOC variation and transmits an SOC equalization command for improving this to the unit cell control unit 121 also becomes the central SOC. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, as a result, the possibility that the SOCs among the single cells 111 are most equalized in the vicinity of the central SOC is high.
- FIG. 13 shows how the SOC changes with respect to two cells 1 (high resistance) and 2 (low resistance) connected in series.
- the full charge capacity of the unit cell 111 which is deteriorated and the internal resistance is rising is also decreasing, and the full charge capacity of the unit cell 111 whose internal resistance is maintained is also maintained. Is high. Since the cells 111 are connected in series, the current value during charge and discharge is the same, and the change in SOC due to charge and discharge is a single cell in which the full charge capacity is maintained in the case of the single cell 111 having a reduced full charge capacity. It becomes larger than the battery 111.
- the SOC is most equalized near the central SOC, but when the SOC changes from the central SOC due to the charge / discharge due to the individual difference of the full charge capacity, the SOC variation again occurs. It is happening.
- the SOC increases on the basis of the central SOC, the SOC of the unit cell 1 (large internal resistance) is high, and the SOC of the unit cell 2 (small internal resistance) is low.
- the SOC decreases based on the central SOC, the SOC of the unit cell 1 is low, and the SOC of the unit cell 2 is high.
- the resistance equalizing unit 154 in order to reliably equalize the individual differences of the internal resistance described above, as shown in FIG. 14A, within the SOC use range from the upper limit SOC to the lower limit SOC, The SOC of the unit cell 111 having a large internal resistance is controlled to be always a low value with respect to the SOC of the unit cell 111 having a small internal resistance.
- control of the resistance equalizing unit 154 is shown by taking as an example the case where two unit cells of the unit cell 1 and the unit cell 2 are connected in series. It is assumed that the full charge capacity of the unit cell 1 is Qmax1, the unit cell 2 is Qmax2, and Qmax1 ⁇ Qmax2.
- the SOC of the unit cells 1 and 2 detected when the storage device of FIG. 1 is activated that is, the amount of charge electricity to each unit cell 1 and 2 after activation of the storage device is The SOC at the time of 0 is SOC1a and SOC2a, respectively.
- SOC variation is detected such that SOC1a is higher than SOC2a, and the SOC equalization unit 153 sends a discharge command so that SOC1a matches SOC2a so that both SOCs match.
- the SOC of the unit cell 1 has reached the upper limit SOC, but the unit cell 2 has not reached the upper limit SOC. Further, although the SOC of the unit cell 1 exceeds the upper limit SOC with the charge amount Q2 (SOC1b), the SOC of the unit cell 2 has reached the upper limit SOC (SOC2b). If it is possible to match the SOCs of the unit cells 1 and 2 at this upper limit SOC, as shown in FIG. 14A, the SOC of the unit cell (unit cell 1) having a large internal resistance is compared to the unit cell (unit cell) having a small internal resistance. Battery 2) It can be managed to be always smaller than SOC.
- the SOC of each unit cell 111 is determined, and the resistance equalization unit 154 matches the SOC of each unit cell 111 when charging up to the upper limit SOC.
- the instruction is sent to SOC equalizing unit 153.
- the operation of the resistance equalizing unit 154 will be described by taking, as an example, a case where N unit cells 111 are connected in series.
- the full charge capacity (Qmax1, Qmax2,..., QmaxN) of each single cell 111 is used to express the upper limit SOC as shown in the equation (8).
- Q 1, Q 2,..., QN are the amounts of charge electricity of the unit cells 111 required to reach the upper limit SOC.
- a full charge capacity can calculate the value for every single battery 111 if Formula (11) mentioned later is used.
- Upper limit SOC SOC1a + 100 ⁇ Q1 / Qmax1
- Upper limit SOC SOC2a + 100 ⁇ Q2 / Qmax2 :
- Upper limit SOC SOCNa + 100 ⁇ QN / QmaxN (8)
- the unknown value in the equation (8) is only the charge amount of charge (Q1, Q2,..., QN) of each unit cell 111 required to reach the upper limit SOC. Therefore, each unit cell 111 is allowed to reach the upper limit SOC by substituting the upper limit SOC, the SOC of each unit cell 111 that can be detected when the storage device in FIG. 1 is activated, and the full charge capacity of each unit cell 111 in equation (8).
- the amount of charge electricity Q1 to QN required for the purpose is determined. Then, as shown in the equation (9), the maximum value QM in the amount of electricity is extracted. In the example shown in FIG. 14B, Q2 corresponds to this QM.
- QM MAX (Q1, Q2, ..., QN) (9)
- the resistance equalization unit 154 performs the above-described prediction, and sends a discharge amount corresponding to the difference between the predicted SOC of each unit cell 111 and the lowest SOC of the predicted SOC to the SOC equalization unit 153 as a discharge command.
- the SOC is evenly distributed to eliminate the SOC variation expected when the upper limit SOC is reached. Can be implemented. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14A, the SOC (voltage) of the unit cell 111 having a large internal resistance (small full charge capacity) is smaller than the unit cell 111 having a small internal resistance (large full charge capacity). It can be managed to be always low in the SOC use range from the upper limit SOC to the lower limit SOC.

- the allowable current value and the allowable power value limit command by the above-described resistance equalization unit 154 further decrease the allowable current value and the allowable power value.
- the impact on the performance of the battery 110 is large. On the other hand, since sufficient input / output performance can be secured on the high temperature side, the influence of the limit command is reduced.

- Equalization SOC (temperature) SOC2a + 100 ⁇ Q2 / Qmax2
- Equalization SOC (temperature) SOCNa + 100 ⁇ QN / Qmax N (10)
- the quantity of electricity Q1, Q2,..., QN reaching the equalization SOC (temperature) of each unit cell 111 is obtained from the formula (10), and the maximum charge quantity QM is obtained by the formula (9).
- the command is sent to the SOC equalization unit 153 so that the SOC is most matched at the equalization SOC (temperature).

Even when the same amount of electricity is discharged, the voltage drop of cell 1 (small full charge capacity) is larger than the voltage drop of single cell 2 (large full charge capacity). Based on the difference in voltage drop when the same amount of electricity is discharged, the capacity equalizing unit 155 grasps the magnitude relationship of the full charge capacity of the plurality of cells 111 connected in series. That is, it is determined that the full charge capacity is small for the unit cell 111 (unit cell 1) whose voltage is greatly reduced, and the full charge capacity is large for the unit cell 111 (unit cell 2) whose voltage is small.

本発明の第1実施形態を図1から図12に基づいて説明する。図1は、本実施形態における蓄電装置の構成例を示す図であり、プラグインハイブリッド自動車の蓄電装置(電池システム100)を示す。蓄電手段としての組電池110を備える電池システム100は、リレー201を介してインバータ203に接続される。また、リレー202を介して充電器205に接続可能な構成となっており、充電器205を用いて外部電源により充電を行うことができる。なお、外部電源を用いて組電池110の充電を行わないHEVの場合では、リレー202及び充電器205が不要である。
図4は単電池111の等価回路図である。SOC推定部151は単電池111若しくは組電池110のSOC推定を行う。図4において、401は単電池111の起電力すなわち開回路電圧(OCV)を表し、402は内部抵抗(R)を表し、403はインピーダンス(Z)を表し、404はキャパシタンス成分(C)を表す。単電池111は、インピーダンス403とキャパシタンス成分404との並列接続対に、内部抵抗402および起電力401を直列接続したもので表される。この単電池111に電流Iを印加した場合の単電池111の端子間電圧(CCV)は、次式(1)で表される。式(1)において、Vpは分極電圧であり、ZとCの並列接続対の電圧に相当する。
