Description
本発明は、二次電池モジュールに関する。
The present invention relates to a secondary battery module.
近年、リチウムイオン電池などの二次電池を車両の搭載用電源やスマートハウスの蓄電用電源に使用することにより、効率的にエネルギーを利用する取り組みが進められている。だだし、二次電池は充放電および保管によって特性劣化を生じることが知られている。上記用途の電源はその利用期間が長期に及ぶことが想定されるため、二次電池の特性劣化を抑制することが重要である。
In recent years, efforts have been made to efficiently use energy by using secondary batteries such as lithium-ion batteries as power sources for mounting on vehicles and power sources for power storage in smart houses. However, it is known that the secondary battery is deteriorated in characteristics by charging / discharging and storage. Since it is assumed that the power source for the above uses will last for a long time, it is important to suppress the deterioration of the characteristics of the secondary battery.
劣化抑制の手段として、二次電池における正極・負極の劣化状態を正確に検出し、検出した劣化状態に応じて最適な電池使用方法を選択することが有効である。例えば特許文献1には、二次電池の充放電曲線を利用することにより、正極・負極・電解液の劣化状態を非破壊でそれぞれ定量評価する方法が記載されている。
As a means for suppressing deterioration, it is effective to accurately detect the deterioration state of the positive electrode and the negative electrode in the secondary battery and select an optimum battery usage method according to the detected deterioration state. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a method for quantitatively evaluating the deterioration states of the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the electrolyte solution in a nondestructive manner by using a charge / discharge curve of a secondary battery.
特許文献1には二次電池の状態判定方法が記載されており、予め記憶した正極・負極単独の充放電曲線に基づいて当該二次電池の充放電曲線を計算で再現し、その過程で正極活物質の有効重量、負極活物質の有効重量、正極・負極間の容量ずれ、またはこれらに対応するパラメータの値を取得する方法が記載されている。ただし、上記特許文献1に記載された状態判定方法では、二次電池の充放電曲線に含まれる内部抵抗の影響を可能な限り排除する必要がある。そのため、充放電曲線を測定する際の電流値を小さくせざるを得ず、測定に10時間以上の長い時間を必要とした。この間、二次電池を本来の目的に使用することができない。したがって、日常的に二次電池の劣化状態を判定して更新することができないため、二次電池の特性劣化を抑制する効果が限定的であるという問題があった。
Patent Document 1 describes a method for determining the state of a secondary battery. The charge / discharge curve of the secondary battery is reproduced by calculation based on the charge / discharge curve of the positive electrode / negative electrode alone stored in advance, A method is described in which the effective weight of the active material, the effective weight of the negative electrode active material, the capacity deviation between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, or the values of parameters corresponding to these are obtained. However, in the state determination method described in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to eliminate as much as possible the influence of the internal resistance included in the charge / discharge curve of the secondary battery. Therefore, the current value at the time of measuring the charge / discharge curve has to be reduced, and the measurement requires a long time of 10 hours or more. During this time, the secondary battery cannot be used for its original purpose. Therefore, since the deterioration state of the secondary battery cannot be determined and updated on a daily basis, there is a problem that the effect of suppressing the deterioration of the characteristics of the secondary battery is limited.
また、上記特許文献1に記載された方法を組電池に適用する場合、組電池全体の充放電曲線を対象にすると、組電池を構成する単電池間の劣化のばらつきを評価できない。このため、二次電池の特性劣化を抑制する効果が限定的になる。しかし上記特許文献1にはこの問題を解決する手段が開示されていない。
In addition, when the method described in Patent Document 1 is applied to an assembled battery, if the charging / discharging curve of the entire assembled battery is targeted, the variation in deterioration among the single cells constituting the assembled battery cannot be evaluated. For this reason, the effect which suppresses the characteristic deterioration of a secondary battery becomes limited. However, Patent Document 1 does not disclose means for solving this problem.
本発明はかかる課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、組電池を構成する単電池の劣化状態を日常的かつ正確に判定する手段を提供することを目的とするものである。
The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide means for routinely and accurately determining the deterioration state of the cells constituting the assembled battery.
上記課題を解決する手段は、例えば次の通りである。
The means for solving the above problems are as follows, for example.
直列または並列に接続された複数の二次電池を有する組電池と、組電池を充放電する充放電装置と、1つ以上の予備電池と、を有する電池モジュールであって、組電池を構成する複数の二次電池のうちに、1つ以上の状態判定用電池が予め定められており、状態判定用電池と充放電装置との接続および予備電池と充放電装置との接続を選択的に切り替えるスイッチを有し、充放電装置は、スイッチにより組電池から切り離された状態判定用電池の充放電を、組電池の充放電とは独立して制御する二次電池モジュール。

状態判定をしない通常時には、予備電池Aは組電池300から切り離されており、状態判定用電池B1、B2は組電池300を構成する単電池群に含まれている。このとき、スイッチS1、S2は状態判定用電池B1側に接続されており、スイッチS3、S4は状態判定用電池B2側に接続されている。また、スイッチS7、S8は予備電池A側に接続されている。この構成では、状態判定用電池B1、B2を含む組電池300を本来の電源供給・回生等の用途に使用する。一方で、予備電池Aは休止したり、必要に応じて充放電装置400を用いて任意の電圧に調整したり、劣化状態の判定に必要な所定の手順で充放電したりさせる。スイッチS5、S6は状態判定用電池B1側、状態判定用電池B2側、どちらの側にも接続されていない。
During normal times when the state is not determined, the spare battery A is disconnected from the assembled battery 300, and the state determining batteries B1 and B2 are included in the unit cell group constituting the assembled battery 300. At this time, the switches S1 and S2 are connected to the state determination battery B1 side, and the switches S3 and S4 are connected to the state determination battery B2 side. The switches S7 and S8 are connected to the spare battery A side. In this configuration, the assembled battery 300 including the state determination batteries B1 and B2 is used for original power supply and regeneration. On the other hand, the spare battery A is paused, adjusted to an arbitrary voltage using the charge / discharge device 400 as necessary, or charged / discharged by a predetermined procedure necessary for determining the deterioration state. The switches S5 and S6 are not connected to either the state determination battery B1 side or the state determination battery B2 side.

When determining the deterioration state of the state determination battery B1, the state determination battery B1 is disconnected from the assembled battery 300, and the spare battery A is incorporated in the assembled battery 300 instead. At this time, the switches S1 and S2 are connected to the spare battery A, the switches S3 and S4 are connected to the state determination battery B2, and the switches S5 and S6 are connected to the state determination battery B1.

Further, when determining the deterioration state of the state determination battery B2, the state determination battery B2 is disconnected from the assembled battery 300, and the spare battery A is incorporated in the assembled battery 300 instead. At this time, the switches S1 and S2 are connected to the state determination battery B1, the switches S3 and S4 are connected to the spare battery A, and the switches S5 and S6 are connected to the state determination battery B2. The switches S7 and S8 are connected to the state determination battery B2.

The same applies to the case where there are three or more state determination batteries.
<劣化状態判定時の動作について>

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2, the operation | movement at the time of determining the deterioration state of the battery for state determination in the battery module of this invention is demonstrated concretely. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an operation in the state determination. In the following description, there are n state determination batteries B, B2,..., Bn, and the spare battery is one spare battery A.
初期状態では電池モジュール500は通常時の接続にあり、状態判定用電池B1、B2、…、Bnは組電池300に組み込まれており、予備電池Aは組電池300から切り離されている。上位システムからの信号を受ける、あるいは電池モジュール500内に記憶された所定の期限に到達する等により、状態判定用電池B1、B2、…、Bnの劣化状態の判定を開始する。
In the initial state, the battery module 500 is normally connected, the state determination batteries B1, B2,..., Bn are incorporated in the assembled battery 300, and the spare battery A is disconnected from the assembled battery 300. The determination of the deterioration state of the state determination batteries B1, B2,..., Bn is started by receiving a signal from the host system or reaching a predetermined time limit stored in the battery module 500.
まず、最初のステップにおいて、組電池300の制御部は組電池300の動作状態を判定する。この際、例えば自動車の走行中など、組電池300が不規則な電圧変動を受ける状態にあり、組電池300を構成する状態判定用電池B1を予備電池Aと切り替えられない場合には、所定の時間だけ待機した後に再び組電池300の動作状態を判定する。また、この際、例えば自動車の停車中など、組電池300の電圧変動がないか規則的である場合には、状態判定用電池B1と予備電池Aを切り替えることが可能と判断して次のステップに進む。あるいは、自然エネルギーの負荷平準など、組電池300が常に不規則な電圧変動に晒される場合には、このステップにおいて一時的に組電池300全体の動作を停止させ、状態判定用電池B1と予備電池Aを切り替え可能な状態を強制的に作り出しても良い。
First, in the first step, the control unit of the assembled battery 300 determines the operating state of the assembled battery 300. At this time, for example, when the assembled battery 300 is subjected to irregular voltage fluctuations, such as when the automobile is running, and the state determination battery B1 constituting the assembled battery 300 cannot be switched to the spare battery A, the predetermined battery After waiting for the time, the operating state of the assembled battery 300 is determined again. At this time, if the voltage of the battery pack 300 does not fluctuate or is regular, such as when the automobile is stopped, for example, it is determined that the state determination battery B1 and the spare battery A can be switched, and the next step Proceed to Alternatively, when the assembled battery 300 is constantly exposed to irregular voltage fluctuations such as load level of natural energy, the operation of the entire assembled battery 300 is temporarily stopped in this step, and the state determination battery B1 and the spare battery A state where A can be switched may be forcibly created.
次のステップでは、予備電池Aの電圧を状態判定用電池B1の電圧に一致させる。換言すれば、充放電装置400は、状態判定用電池B1と充放電装置400との接続および予備電池Aと充放電装置400との接続が切り替えられ前に、予備電池Aの電圧と状態判定用電池Bの電圧を一致させるように制御する。これは電池を切り替える前後の組電池300の電圧変動を抑制するためである。まず、状態判定用電池B1の電圧を、状態判定用電池B1に接続されている電圧計から読み取る、組電池300全体の電圧から推定する等の方法で決める。その後、状態判定用の充放電装置400を用いて予備電池Aを充放電して状態判定用電池B1の電圧と一致させる。なお、状態判定用電池B1の電圧が規則的に変化している場合には、状態判定用電池Biの電圧変化を予測して、状態判定用電池B1と予備電池Aの電圧が一致するように予備電池Aを充放電する。
In the next step, the voltage of the spare battery A is matched with the voltage of the state determination battery B1. In other words, the charging / discharging device 400 is used for determining the voltage and state of the spare battery A before the connection between the state determination battery B1 and the charging / discharging device 400 and the connection between the spare battery A and the charging / discharging device 400 are switched. Control is performed so that the voltages of the battery B match. This is for suppressing the voltage fluctuation of the assembled battery 300 before and after switching the battery. First, the voltage of the state determination battery B1 is determined by a method such as reading from a voltmeter connected to the state determination battery B1 or estimating from the voltage of the entire assembled battery 300. Thereafter, the reserve battery A is charged / discharged using the state determination charging / discharging device 400 to match the voltage of the state determination battery B1. When the voltage of the state determination battery B1 changes regularly, the voltage change of the state determination battery Bi is predicted so that the voltages of the state determination battery B1 and the standby battery A match. The spare battery A is charged / discharged.
次のステップでは、スイッチを操作して予備電池Aと状態判定用電池Biを切り替える。この結果、予備電池Aは組電池300を構成する単電池として機能するようになり、状態判定用電池B1は組電池とは切り離される。また、このステップではスイッチを操作して状態判定用の充放電装置400と電池B1とを接続する。
In the next step, the switch is operated to switch between the spare battery A and the state determination battery Bi. As a result, the spare battery A functions as a single battery constituting the assembled battery 300, and the state determination battery B1 is separated from the assembled battery. In this step, the switch is operated to connect the state determination charging / discharging device 400 and the battery B1.
次のステップでは、状態判定用の充放電装置400を用いて、所定の手順で状態判定用電池B1を充放電して劣化状態を判定する。判定の手順としては、例えば、所定の電流値によって状態判定用電池B1を所定の上限電圧から下限電圧まで放電して得られた容量を基準値と比較する方法がある。一例として、充放電装置400と状態判定用電池B1との接続が充放電装置400と予備電池Aとの接続に切り替えられた後に、充放電装置400が、組電池300とは切り離された状態判定用電池B1を、状態判定用電池B1の電池容量に対して10時間率以下の一定電流で所定の条件を満たすまで、充電または放電することにより、状態判定用電池B1の劣化状態が判定される。
In the next step, using the state determination charging / discharging device 400, the state determination battery B1 is charged and discharged in a predetermined procedure to determine the deterioration state. As a determination procedure, for example, there is a method in which a capacity obtained by discharging the state determination battery B1 from a predetermined upper limit voltage to a lower limit voltage with a predetermined current value is compared with a reference value. As an example, after the connection between the charging / discharging device 400 and the state determination battery B <b> 1 is switched to the connection between the charging / discharging device 400 and the spare battery A, the state determination in which the charging / discharging device 400 is disconnected from the assembled battery 300. By charging or discharging the battery B1 until a predetermined condition is satisfied at a constant current of 10 hours or less with respect to the battery capacity of the state determination battery B1, the deterioration state of the state determination battery B1 is determined. .
また、例えば、所定の開回路電圧にある状態判定用電池B1を所定の電流値で一定時間だけ充放電して、閉回路電圧と開回路電圧との差から内部抵抗を求め、基準値と比較する方法がある。一例として、充放電装置400と状態判定用電池B1との接続が充放電装置400と予備電池Aとの接続に切り替えられた後に、充放電装置400が、組電池300とは切り離された状態判定用電池B1を、状態判定用電池B1の電池容量に対して10時間率以下の一定電流で所定の条件を満たすまで、充電または放電することにより、状態判定用電池B1の劣化状態が判定される。これにより測定時間を短くできる。
Further, for example, the state determination battery B1 at a predetermined open circuit voltage is charged / discharged at a predetermined current value for a predetermined time, and the internal resistance is obtained from the difference between the closed circuit voltage and the open circuit voltage, and compared with the reference value. There is a way to do it. As an example, after the connection between the charging / discharging device 400 and the state determination battery B <b> 1 is switched to the connection between the charging / discharging device 400 and the spare battery A, the state determination in which the charging / discharging device 400 is disconnected from the assembled battery 300. By charging or discharging the battery B1 until a predetermined condition is satisfied at a constant current of 10 hours or less with respect to the battery capacity of the state determination battery B1, the deterioration state of the state determination battery B1 is determined. . This can shorten the measurement time.
また、状態判定用電池B1の劣化状態を判定する際に、状態判定用電池B1を構成する正極および負極のそれぞれ単独の充放電特性を参照してもよい。例えば、10時間率以下の微小な電流で状態判定用電池B1を所定の上限電圧から下限電圧まで放電して得られた放電曲線を、予め記憶してある状態判定用電池B1に用いた正極・負極それぞれ単独の放電曲線に基づいて解析して、正極の容量、負極の容量、正極と負極の容量バランスのずれ等を推定して基準値と比較したり、電池電圧に対する正極電位・負極電位を推定して基準値と比較したりする方法がある。放電曲線を用いた解析の方法は、特許文献1に開示されている。組電池300と切り離された状態判定用電池B1の充放電に関する情報や、上記の判定の手順により得られた状態判定用電池B1の劣化状態は、上位システムに情報を送信するか、二次電池モジュール500内の情報保持機構600に記録される。
Further, when determining the deterioration state of the state determination battery B1, the individual charge / discharge characteristics of the positive electrode and the negative electrode constituting the state determination battery B1 may be referred to. For example, a discharge curve obtained by discharging the state determination battery B1 from a predetermined upper limit voltage to a lower limit voltage with a small current of 10 hours or less is used as the positive electrode Analyze based on the discharge curve of each negative electrode, estimate positive electrode capacity, negative electrode capacity, capacity balance between positive electrode and negative electrode, and compare with reference value, and positive electrode potential / negative electrode potential with respect to battery voltage There is a method of estimating and comparing with a reference value. A method of analysis using a discharge curve is disclosed in Patent Document 1. Information related to charging / discharging of the battery for state determination B1 separated from the assembled battery 300 and the deterioration state of the battery for state determination B1 obtained by the above-described determination procedure are either transmitted to the upper system or a secondary battery. It is recorded in the information holding mechanism 600 in the module 500.
次のステップでは、組電池300の制御部は予備電池Aを含む組電池300の動作状態を判定する。組電池300が不規則な電圧変動を受ける状態にあり、予備電池Aと状態判定用電池B1を切り替えられない場合には、所定の時間だけ待機した後に再び組電池300の動作状態を判定する。組電池300の電圧変動がないか規則的である場合には、状態判定用電池B1と予備電池Aを切り替えることが可能と判断して次のステップに進む。組電池300が常に不規則な電圧変動に晒される場合には、このステップにおいて一時的に組電池300全体の動作を停止させ、状態判定用電池B1と予備電池Aを切り替え可能な状態を強制的に作り出しても良い。
In the next step, the control unit of the assembled battery 300 determines the operating state of the assembled battery 300 including the spare battery A. When the assembled battery 300 is subjected to irregular voltage fluctuations and the standby battery A and the state determination battery B1 cannot be switched, the operation state of the assembled battery 300 is determined again after waiting for a predetermined time. If there is no voltage variation of the assembled battery 300 or it is regular, it is determined that the state determination battery B1 and the spare battery A can be switched, and the process proceeds to the next step. When the assembled battery 300 is constantly exposed to irregular voltage fluctuations, the operation of the entire assembled battery 300 is temporarily stopped in this step, and a state in which the state determination battery B1 and the spare battery A can be switched is forcibly set. You may create it.
次のステップでは、状態判定用電池B1の電圧を予備電池Aの電圧に一致させる。まず予備電池Aの電圧を、予備電池Aに接続されている電圧計から読み取る、組電池300全体の電圧から推定する等の方法で決める。その後、状態判定用の充放電装置400を用いて状態判定用電池B1を充放電して予備電池Aの電圧と一致させる。
In the next step, the voltage of the state determination battery B1 is matched with the voltage of the spare battery A. First, the voltage of the spare battery A is determined by a method such as reading from a voltmeter connected to the spare battery A or estimating from the voltage of the entire assembled battery 300. Thereafter, the state determination battery B1 is charged / discharged using the state determination charging / discharging device 400 to match the voltage of the spare battery A.
次のステップでは、スイッチを操作して予備電池Aと状態判定用電池B1を切り替える。この結果、状態判定用電池B1は組電池300を構成する単電池として機能するようになり、予備電池Aは組電池300とは切り離される。また、このステップではスイッチを操作して状態判定用の充放電装置400と予備電池Aとを接続する。
In the next step, the standby battery A and the state determination battery B1 are switched by operating a switch. As a result, the state determination battery B1 functions as a single battery constituting the assembled battery 300, and the spare battery A is separated from the assembled battery 300. In this step, the switch is operated to connect the state determination charging / discharging device 400 to the spare battery A.
次のステップでは、全ての状態判定用電池の劣化状態を判定し終わったかどうか判定する。本説明においては、まだ状態判定用電池B2、B3、…、Bnが未判定であるので、続いて状態判定用電池B2の判定に移る。状態判定用電池B2の劣化状態判定のための動作は、状態判定用電池B1の劣化状態を判定するための動作と同じである。以下同様に状態判定用電池B3、…、Bnまで劣化状態を判定し終わったら、劣化状態の判定を終了する。
In the next step, it is determined whether or not the state of deterioration of all state determination batteries has been determined. In this description, since the state determination batteries B2, B3,..., Bn are not yet determined, the process proceeds to determination of the state determination battery B2. The operation for determining the deterioration state of the state determination battery B2 is the same as the operation for determining the deterioration state of the state determination battery B1. Similarly, when the deterioration state is determined up to the state determination batteries B3,..., Bn, the determination of the deterioration state is ended.
以上により、電池モジュール500内の組電池300を構成する状態判定用電池B1、B2、…、Bnの劣化状態を判定することができる。判定の間、状態判定用電池B1、B2、…、Bnが組電池300内で本来担う役割は予備電池Aによって代替されているので、組電池300を本来の電源供給・回生等の用途に使用し続けることができる。従って、長時間を要する高精度の劣化判定を日常的に実行し、従来の高精度劣化判定法よりも頻繁に二次電池の劣化状態を更新できる。これにより、状態判定結果に基づいた組電池300の制御が従来よりも適切になり、組電池300を高安全化および長寿命化することができる。また、この方法によれば、組電池300を構成する単電池の劣化状態が、電池モジュール500内の位置によってどの程度異なっているかを判定できる。これにより、劣化が進行した単電池への負荷を減らすなどの制御によって、組電池300を高安全化および長寿命化することができる。
From the above, it is possible to determine the deterioration state of the state determination batteries B1, B2,..., Bn constituting the assembled battery 300 in the battery module 500. During the determination, the state determination batteries B1, B2,..., Bn are originally used in the assembled battery 300 by the spare battery A, so that the assembled battery 300 is used for original power supply / regeneration and the like. Can continue. Accordingly, it is possible to perform highly accurate deterioration determination that requires a long time on a daily basis, and update the deterioration state of the secondary battery more frequently than the conventional high-accuracy deterioration determination method. Thereby, control of the assembled battery 300 based on a state determination result becomes more suitable than before, and the assembled battery 300 can be made highly safe and have a long life. Further, according to this method, it can be determined how much the deterioration state of the single cells constituting the assembled battery 300 differs depending on the position in the battery module 500. As a result, the assembled battery 300 can be made highly safe and have a long life by control such as reducing the load on the unit cell that has deteriorated.
これまでの説明では、予備電池Aを1本として、直列に接続された単電池群を並列に接続して構成した組電池300を含む電池モジュール500に関して説明した。ただし、予備電池Aは複数であってもよく、また組電池300の構成は、並列に接続された単電池群を直列に接続した電池群であっても良いし、直列に接続された単電池群であっても良いし、並列に接続された単電池であっても良い。また、状態判定用電池B1、B2、…、Bnの電池モジュール500内における位置は任意に定めてよいが、一般的に電池モジュール500の中心部は比較的高温であり、周辺部は比較的低温であるので、劣化状態の分布を評価するためには、電池モジュール500の中心部と周縁部に位置する単電池を状態判定用電池B1、B2、…、Bnとすることが望ましい。より望ましくは、電池モジュール500の中心と隅を結ぶ対角線上に位置する単電池を複数選定することが望ましい。
In the description so far, the battery module 500 including the assembled battery 300 configured by connecting the single battery group connected in series with the spare battery A as one has been described. However, there may be a plurality of spare batteries A, and the configuration of the assembled battery 300 may be a battery group in which single battery groups connected in parallel are connected in series, or single batteries connected in series. A group may be sufficient and the cell connected in parallel may be sufficient. Further, the positions of the state determination batteries B1, B2,..., Bn in the battery module 500 may be arbitrarily determined, but in general, the central portion of the battery module 500 is relatively high temperature and the peripheral portion is relatively low temperature. Therefore, in order to evaluate the distribution of the deterioration state, it is desirable that the cells located at the center and the periphery of the battery module 500 are the state determination batteries B1, B2,. More desirably, it is desirable to select a plurality of single cells located on a diagonal line connecting the center and corner of the battery module 500.

図6は、発明者が作製した組電池に含まれる単電池の初期状態の放電曲線と2年間運用した後の劣化後の放電曲線と、それぞれの放電曲線を特許文献1の方法で解析して得られた正極と負極の放電曲線を示す。図6のように、初期状態と劣化後では同じ電池電圧に対する電池の残存容量、正極電位、負極電位が異なっている。
FIG. 6 shows an analysis of the discharge curve in the initial state of the unit cell included in the assembled battery produced by the inventor, the discharge curve after deterioration after operation for two years, and the respective discharge curves by the method of Patent Document 1. The discharge curve of the obtained positive electrode and negative electrode is shown. As shown in FIG. 6, the remaining battery capacity, the positive electrode potential, and the negative electrode potential for the same battery voltage are different between the initial state and the deteriorated state.
図7は、電池電圧3.9Vに対する正極電位の変化を運用日数に対して示したものである。図のように、運用日数の増加に対して同じ電池電圧に対する正極電位が増加する。正極を高電位で使用することは電池の寿命と安全性にとって望ましくないため、電池の制御に当たっては正極電位を可能な限り正確に把握する必要がある。
FIG. 7 shows the change of the positive electrode potential with respect to the battery voltage of 3.9 V with respect to the operation days. As shown in the figure, the positive electrode potential for the same battery voltage increases as the number of operating days increases. The use of the positive electrode at a high potential is undesirable for the life and safety of the battery, and therefore it is necessary to grasp the positive electrode potential as accurately as possible when controlling the battery.
しかしながら、特許文献1に記載された従来の方法では、日常的な状態判定が難しいので、例えば2年毎の定期点検の際に正極電位を評価することになる。その場合、図7によれば2年後における制御上想定された正極電位と実際の正極電位の間には、4.050-3.994=0.056Vの差が生じることになる。
However, with the conventional method described in Patent Document 1, it is difficult to determine the state on a daily basis, and thus the positive electrode potential is evaluated, for example, during a periodic inspection every two years. In that case, according to FIG. 7, there is a difference of 4.050−3.994 = 0.056V between the positive electrode potential assumed for control in two years and the actual positive electrode potential.
一方で、本発明の一実施形態によれば、例えば2週間毎に電池の劣化状態を判定することができる。その場合の制御上想定された正極電位と実際の正極電位の差は、図7の正極電位の変化から見積もって、最大でも0.008Vに抑制することができる。
On the other hand, according to one embodiment of the present invention, for example, the deterioration state of the battery can be determined every two weeks. In this case, the difference between the positive electrode potential assumed for control and the actual positive electrode potential can be suppressed to 0.008 V at the maximum as estimated from the change in the positive electrode potential in FIG.
図8は、発明者が作製した組電池の放電曲線を単電池あたりに平均化した放電曲線と、二次電池モジュールの周辺部に位置する状態判定用電池の放電曲線と、二次電池モジュールの中央部に位置する状態判定用電池の放電曲線を示す。図のように、二次電池モジュール内の個々の単電池の劣化状態は異なる。
FIG. 8 shows a discharge curve obtained by averaging the discharge curve of the assembled battery produced by the inventor per unit cell, the discharge curve of the state determination battery located in the periphery of the secondary battery module, and the secondary battery module. The discharge curve of the battery for state determination located in a center part is shown. As shown in the figure, the deterioration states of the individual cells in the secondary battery module are different.
予備電池を備えない二次電池モジュールの放電曲線を用いる従来の方法では、組電池全体が図8の平均の放電曲線に対応する劣化状態と判定される。一方、本発明の一実施形態における二次電池モジュールでは、個々の単電池の状態を判定することができる。表1は、組電池の平均、周辺部の単電池、中央部の単電池それぞれについて、電池電圧3.9Vに対する正極電位を示す。
In the conventional method using the discharge curve of the secondary battery module that does not include a spare battery, the entire assembled battery is determined to be in a deteriorated state corresponding to the average discharge curve in FIG. On the other hand, in the secondary battery module in one embodiment of the present invention, the state of each single cell can be determined. Table 1 shows the positive electrode potential with respect to the battery voltage of 3.9 V for the average of the assembled batteries, the peripheral unit cells, and the central unit cells.
従来の方法では、組電池を構成する単電池の制御上想定された正極電位と実際の正極電位との間に4.049-4.008=0.041Vの差が生じる。一方で本発明の一実施形態における方法では、この差は生じないため、より正確に単電池を制御することができる。
In the conventional method, a difference of 4.049−4.008 = 0.041V is generated between the positive electrode potential assumed for the control of the unit cells constituting the assembled battery and the actual positive electrode potential. On the other hand, in the method according to the embodiment of the present invention, this difference does not occur, so that the unit cell can be controlled more accurately.
