With the development of new energy technology, the application field of the battery is more and more wide, such as providing power for the electric device or supplying power for the electric device. For example, the battery can be used as a power source to provide power for the vehicle, and under the condition that the electric quantity of the battery in the vehicle is insufficient to support the vehicle to continue running, the charging equipment such as a charging pile can be used for charging the vehicle, namely, the battery in the vehicle is charged, so that the battery can be circularly used for charging and discharging. However, the battery charging takes a long time, which limits the cruising use of the vehicle.
In order to improve the endurance utilization rate of the vehicle, a power conversion technology is generated. The battery replacement technology adopts a mode of 'vehicle-electricity separation', and can provide battery replacement service for the vehicle through a battery replacement station, namely, the battery can be quickly taken down or installed from the vehicle. The battery taken down from the vehicle can be put into a battery-changing cabinet of the battery-changing station for charging so as to be ready for battery-changing for the vehicle entering the battery-changing station subsequently.
Charging strategies are currently employed for batteries that enter the battery exchange station to charge the battery once it has entered the station until the charge is full. The operation cost of the current charging strategy and the power exchange station is higher.
In view of this, the embodiment of the application provides a battery charging method, which uses different thresholds to charge the battery in the power exchange station by using different time periods of the peak and the trough of the electricity price, thereby being beneficial to saving the operation cost of the power exchange station.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a battery charging method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, an application scenario of the battery charging method may relate to a battery exchange station 11, an electric device 12, and a battery.
The power exchange station 11 may refer to a location that provides power exchange services for a powered device. For example, the power exchange station 11 may be a stationary location, or the power exchange station 11 may be a mobile location such as a mobile power exchange device, without limitation.
The power utilization device 12 may be detachably connected to the battery. In some examples, the powered device 12 may be a car, van, or the like powered by a power battery. In other examples, the powered device 12 may be as small as a robot, as large as a ship and airplane, etc. powered or supplied with power from a battery. The type of the power consumption device 12 is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.
The batteries may include batteries disposed within the power utility 12 and batteries located in the power exchange station 11 for exchanging power. For ease of distinction, as shown in fig. 1, the battery to be replaced in the power utilization device 12 is denoted as battery 141, and the battery for power replacement in the power exchange station is denoted as battery 142. The battery may be a lithium ion battery, a lithium metal battery, a lead-acid battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, a lithium-sulfur battery, a lithium-air battery, a sodium ion battery, or the like, and is not limited thereto.

After the electricity utilization device 12 having the battery 141 mounted thereon is driven into the electricity conversion station 11, the electricity conversion station 11 removes the battery 141 from the electricity utilization device 12 by the electricity conversion device, and removes the battery 142 from the electricity conversion station 11, and then mounts the battery 142 to the electricity utilization device 12. The powered device 12 with the battery 142 mounted thereon may then be driven off the power exchange station 11. Through the power conversion technology, the power utilization device can be rapidly supplemented with energy within a few minutes or even tens of seconds, and the user experience is improved.
As shown in fig. 1, a power exchange cabinet 13 may be provided in the power exchange station 11. The battery changing cabinet 13 may be provided with a charging unit 132 and a plurality of charging bins 133, and the battery for changing electricity may be placed in the charging bins 133 of the battery changing cabinet 13 of the battery changing station 11. The charging unit 132 may charge the battery in the charging bin 133. In some examples, the charging unit may include components, devices or apparatuses having a charging function, such as an AC/DC module, i.e., an AC/DC module, without limitation. The charging units 132 may be disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the charging bins 133, or one charging unit 132 may be shared by a plurality of charging bins 133, which is not limited herein.
The electricity consumption device 12 may be provided with at least one battery 141, and when the electricity consumption device 12 is provided with a plurality of batteries 141, the battery 141 or batteries 141 in the electricity consumption device 12 may be replaced with the battery 142 in the battery replacement station 11 according to the user's selection.
The power exchange station 11 may also be provided with management means correspondingly. The management device may be a centralized structure or a distributed structure, and is not limited thereto. The management device may be provided inside the power exchange station 11 or may be provided outside the power exchange station 11. In the case of a distributed structure of the management device, the management device may also be arranged partly inside the station 11 and partly outside the station 11.
Alternatively, the electricity usage device 12 may interact in communication with management devices within the electricity substation 11 such that the electricity usage device 12 completes a power change within the electricity substation 11. The management device in the battery exchange station 11 can also perform communication interaction with the battery exchange cabinet to control the battery in the battery exchange cabinet to charge.
Alternatively, the communication interactions between the various modules may include wired or wireless communication means, including, for example, a CAN communication bus. The wireless communication method includes various methods such as bluetooth communication, wiFi communication, zigBee communication, and the like, and is not limited thereto.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic block diagram of a method 20 of charging a battery according to an embodiment of the present application. It should be appreciated that the battery in charging method 200 may be battery station 11 of fig. 1 and the battery in charging method 200 may be battery 142 of fig. 1 placed in charging bin 133. The charging method 20 may be performed by a management device in the power exchange station 11, or may be performed by the power exchange cabinet 13 within the power exchange station 11, and for ease of understanding, the technical solution of the present application will be described below taking the management device disposed within the power exchange station 11 as an execution subject. As shown in fig. 2, the charging method 20 may include some or all of the following.
And S21, when the electricity price is in a peak period, the management device charges the battery in the power exchange station according to a first threshold value, or when the electricity price is in a trough period, the management device charges the battery in the power exchange station according to a second threshold value, wherein the first threshold value is smaller than the second threshold value.
At present, in order to improve the utilization rate of electric power resources, a national power grid adopts a peak-valley time-of-use electricity price charging strategy. I.e. the electricity price is in the peak period, the electricity price charge is higher; and the electricity price is in the trough period, and the electricity price charge is lower.
Alternatively, the first threshold and the second threshold may be critical values of the same parameter of the battery. For example, the first threshold and the second threshold are critical values of SOC.
In the embodiment of the application, the management device can charge the battery in the power exchange station according to the smaller threshold value under the condition that the power price is in the peak period, which is beneficial to enabling the power exchange station to quickly reach the available state of the power exchange station at the minimum cost, and can charge the battery in the power exchange station according to the larger threshold value under the condition that the power price is in the valley period, which is beneficial to enabling the power exchange station to reach the maximum profitable state of the power exchange station at the minimum cost, namely the charging method 20 provided by the embodiment of the application is beneficial to saving the operation cost of the power exchange station.
Fig. 3 shows another schematic block diagram of a method of charging a battery according to an embodiment of the present application.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 3, the step S21, that is, in the case where the electricity price is in the peak period, the management device charges the battery in the power exchange station according to the first threshold, includes: s211, in the case where the electricity price is in the peak period, the management device charges the battery having the state of charge SOC smaller than the first threshold value in the battery exchange station to the first threshold value.
In other words, in the case that the electricity price is in the peak period, the management device may determine the battery to be charged according to the magnitude relation between the SOC of the battery in the battery exchange station and the first threshold, and charge the battery to be charged to the first threshold.
In this embodiment, the management means charges the battery having an SOC within the battery station less than the first threshold to the first threshold when the electricity price is in the peak period, which is advantageous for the battery station to quickly reach the usable state of the battery station at minimum cost due to the first threshold being a smaller threshold.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 3, the step S211, that is, in the case where the electricity price is in the peak period, the management device charges the battery having the state of charge SOC in the battery exchange station smaller than the first threshold to the first threshold, includes: s212, in the case that the electricity price is in the peak period, the management device determines a battery to be charged in the power exchange station according to the total number A of batteries in the power exchange station and the minimum operation battery number B required by the power exchange station, wherein the SOC of the battery to be charged is smaller than the first threshold; s213, the management device charges the battery to be charged to the first threshold.
It should be noted that, since the batteries in the power exchange station are flowing, the number of batteries in the power exchange station may be different at different times. At some point, the management device may first determine the total number of batteries in the battery exchange station, denoted as a. In addition, the minimum number of operating batteries required for the battery exchange station may be denoted as B, which means that the battery exchange station can only support operation if the current number of batteries in the battery exchange station is greater than or equal to B. Alternatively, the minimum number of batteries B required for operation of the power exchange station may be preset according to the operating condition of the power exchange station. For example, assuming that the station can accommodate a total of 60 batteries and in fact can support operation as long as there are 10 batteries in the station, the minimum number of operating batteries B required for the station is 10.
Specifically, in the case where the electricity price is in the peak period, the management device may select all the batteries having the SOC smaller than the first threshold value from the battery exchange station, and further, determine the battery to be charged in the battery exchange station in combination with the total number a of the batteries in the current battery exchange station and the minimum number B of the operated batteries required for the battery exchange station, and charge the battery to be charged to the first threshold value.
In the embodiment of the application, under the condition that the electricity price is in the peak period, the management device combines the total number A of the batteries in the current power exchange station and the minimum operation battery number B required by the power exchange station to determine the battery to be charged in the power exchange station, so that the power exchange station can reach the required minimum operation battery number as much as possible at lower cost, and the dynamic balance between the operation requirement and the operation cost is ensured.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 3, the step S212, that is, the management device determines the battery to be charged in the power exchange station according to the total number a of batteries in the power exchange station and the minimum operational battery number B required by the power exchange station, includes: and S214, when A is equal to B, the management device determines that all batteries with SOC smaller than the first threshold value in the power exchange station are the batteries to be charged.
It should be noted that, when the battery exchange station meets the operation requirement, in addition to the total number a of the batteries in the current battery exchange station is required to meet the required minimum number B of the batteries, the battery exchange power is required to be met (i.e. the first threshold is reached), that is, when the battery exchange station meets the operation requirement, the power of at least B batteries in the battery exchange station is greater than or equal to the first threshold.
In other words, if the total number of batteries a in the current station is exactly equal to the number of batteries B that the station needs to operate, the station can support operation at least in terms of the number of batteries. Further, it is also necessary to ensure that the SOC of all the batteries in the battery exchange station should reach above the first threshold value in order to open the battery exchange station to the outside for achieving the battery exchange requirement of the vehicle. At this time, all the batteries having the SOC smaller than the first threshold value in the battery exchange station should be charged to the first threshold value.
In the embodiment of the application, under the condition that the electricity price is in the peak period, if the total number A of the batteries in the current power exchange station is equal to the minimum operation battery number B required by the power exchange station, the management device charges all the batteries with the SOC smaller than the first threshold value in the power exchange station to the first threshold value, so that the power exchange station can reach the required minimum operation battery number as much as possible at lower cost, and the dynamic balance between the operation requirement and the operation cost is ensured.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 3, the step S212, that is, the management device determines the battery to be charged in the power exchange station according to the total number a of batteries in the power exchange station and the minimum operational battery number B required by the power exchange station, includes: s215, in the case where a is greater than B, the management device determines the battery to be charged in the battery exchange station according to the number C of batteries in the battery exchange station having an SOC greater than or equal to the first threshold value and the minimum number B of operated batteries required for the battery exchange station.
The electricity price is in a peak period, which means that the electricity price is more expensive and the charging cost is higher. At this time, if the total number a of the batteries in the current power exchange station is greater than the minimum number B of the batteries required by the power exchange station, it is only necessary to ensure that the electric quantity of B batteries in the power exchange station reaches the first threshold. That is, it is necessary to further determine the number C of batteries in the battery exchange station having an SOC greater than or equal to the first threshold value, and if the number C of batteries in the battery exchange station having an SOC greater than or equal to the first threshold value is already greater than or equal to the minimum number B of batteries required for the battery exchange station, then the batteries in the battery exchange station may not be charged until the number C of batteries in the battery exchange station having an SOC greater than or equal to the first threshold value is less than the minimum number B of batteries required for the battery exchange station. If the number of cells C in the battery exchange station with SOC greater than or equal to the first threshold value is smaller than the minimum number of cells B in operation required by the battery exchange station, at least (B-C) cells are selected from the cells in the battery exchange station with SOC less than the first threshold value for charging up to the first threshold value.
In this embodiment, in case the total number of batteries a in the current battery exchange station is larger than the minimum number of operated batteries B required by the battery exchange station, the management means further determine the battery to be charged in the battery exchange station based on the magnitude relation of the number of batteries C in the battery exchange station having an SOC of greater than or equal to the first threshold value and the minimum number of operated batteries B required by the battery exchange station, which is advantageous for enabling the battery exchange station to reach the available state of the battery exchange station at the fastest speed.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 3, in step S215, that is, in the case where a is greater than B, the management device determines, in the power exchange station, the battery to be charged according to the number of batteries C in the power exchange station having SOC greater than or equal to the first threshold value and the minimum operated battery number B required for the power exchange station, including: s216, in the case where a is greater than B and C is less than B, the management device determines the battery to be charged in the battery exchange station according to the absolute value of the difference between the SOC of each of the plurality of batteries having the SOC less than the first threshold in the battery exchange station and the first threshold, the plurality of batteries being the batteries having the SOC less than the first threshold.
As mentioned above, if the number C of batteries in the battery exchange station having an SOC greater than or equal to the first threshold is smaller than the minimum number B of batteries required for operation of the battery exchange station, at least (B-C) batteries need to be selected from among the batteries in the battery exchange station having an SOC smaller than the first threshold for charging, and further, the (B-C) batteries may be determined according to priorities of all the plurality of batteries in the battery exchange station having an SOC smaller than the first threshold. For example, the battery to be charged may be determined according to a ranking of the SOCs of all the plurality of batteries in the battery exchange station from high to low with the SOCs smaller than the first threshold. For another example, the battery to be charged may be determined based on absolute values of differences between SOCs of all the plurality of batteries in the battery exchange station having SOCs smaller than the first threshold value and the first threshold value.
In this embodiment, in the case where a is greater than B and C is less than B, the management device may further determine the battery to be charged based on the absolute value of the difference between the SOC of the plurality of batteries in the battery exchange station having the SOC less than the first threshold value and the first threshold value, which is more advantageous for enabling the battery exchange station to reach the available state of the battery exchange station at the fastest speed.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 3, in step S216, that is, in the case where a is greater than B and C is less than B, the management device determines the battery to be charged in the battery exchange station according to the absolute value of the difference between the SOCs of the plurality of batteries in the battery exchange station having SOCs less than the first threshold and the first threshold, including: s217, in the case that A is larger than B and C is smaller than B, the management device determines the (B-C) batteries with the smallest absolute values as the batteries to be charged.
In this embodiment, in the case where a is greater than B and C is less than B, determining the (B-C) cells having the smallest absolute values as the cells to be charged may cause the battery to reach the usable state of the battery to be charged at the fastest speed.
It is noted above that the battery to be charged may be determined from the battery exchange station without obtaining absolute values of differences between the SOCs of the plurality of batteries in the battery exchange station having SOCs smaller than the first threshold value and the first threshold value. For example, the (B-C) battery having the highest SOC among the plurality of batteries having the SOC smaller than the first threshold value in the battery replacement station may be directly determined as the battery to be charged. Specifically, the SOC of the plurality of batteries in the battery exchange station having the SOC smaller than the first threshold value may be first ranked from high to low, and the previous (B-C) battery may be determined as the battery to be charged.
Alternatively, in other embodiments, if the total number of batteries a in the current battery station is less than the minimum number of batteries B operated required by the battery station in the case where the electricity price is in the peak period, the battery station does not meet the operating requirement, and even if the SOC of all the batteries in the battery station is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the battery station is not sufficient to support open to the outside. In this case, the battery in the battery exchange station may not be charged temporarily.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 3, the step S21, that is, when the electricity price is in the trough period, the management device charges the battery in the power exchange station according to the second threshold, including: and S218, in the case that the electricity price is in the trough period, the management device charges all batteries with the charge state SOC smaller than the second threshold value in the power exchange station to the second threshold value.
The electricity price is in the trough period, which means that the electricity price is cheaper and the charging cost is lower. At this time, without excessive judgment, all batteries with SOC smaller than the second threshold value in the power exchange station are directly charged to the second threshold value, so that all batteries in the power exchange station can reach the optimal condition of power exchange under the condition of reducing the operation cost of the power exchange station as much as possible, and better service can be provided for users.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first threshold is a minimum SOC that allows for power conversion, and the second threshold is a maximum SOC that can be reached by the battery.
For example, the first threshold may be 80% and the second threshold may be 95%. It should be appreciated that the first and second thresholds may be other values, and the first and second thresholds may be empirically predetermined.
In this embodiment, by setting the first threshold to a minimum SOC that allows battery replacement and setting the second threshold to a maximum SOC that the battery can charge, dynamic balance between operating requirements and protecting battery conditions can be ensured.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 3, the charging method 20 further includes: s22, under the condition that the maximum input power of the power exchange station is smaller than the sum of the maximum input powers of all the batteries to be charged in the power exchange station, the management device determines the charging power of each battery to be charged in all the batteries to be charged according to the maximum input power of the power exchange station.
In particular, in case the maximum input power of the battery exchange station is smaller than the sum of the maximum input powers of all the batteries to be charged in the battery exchange station, the charging power of each battery to be charged may be determined according to the number of batteries to be charged in the battery exchange station. For example, if the number of batteries to be charged in the battery exchange station is 1, the maximum input power of the battery exchange station may be directly determined as the charging power of the batteries to be charged. For another example, if the number of the batteries to be charged in the power exchange station is greater than 1, the charging power may be allocated to all the batteries to be charged according to the maximum input power of the power exchange station, that is, the sum of the charging powers of all the allocated batteries to be charged is equal to the maximum input power of the power exchange station.
In this embodiment, in the case that the maximum input power of the battery exchange station is smaller than the sum of the maximum input powers of all the batteries to be charged in the battery exchange station, the management device determines the charging power of each of the batteries to be charged in all the batteries to be charged according to the maximum input power of the battery exchange station, so that the charging work of the battery exchange station can be safely and normally operated.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, in step S22, that is, in the case that the maximum input power of the power exchange station is smaller than the sum of the maximum input powers of all the to-be-charged batteries in the power exchange station, the management device determines the charging power of each to-be-charged battery in the all to-be-charged batteries according to the maximum input power of the power exchange station, including: s221, in the case that the maximum input power of the power exchange station is smaller than the sum of the maximum input powers of all the batteries to be charged in the power exchange station, the management device determines the ratio of the maximum input power of the power exchange station to the number of all the batteries to be charged as the charging power of each battery to be charged.
In this embodiment, in the case where the maximum input power of the battery exchange station is smaller than the sum of the maximum input powers of all the batteries to be charged in the battery exchange station, the charging power is equally distributed to all the batteries to be charged in the battery exchange station, so that the complexity of the charging control can be reduced.
Alternatively, in other embodiments, in case the maximum input power of the battery exchange station is smaller than the sum of the maximum input powers of all the batteries to be charged in the battery exchange station, the charging power may not be equally distributed to all the batteries to be charged in the battery exchange station, for example, the charging power may be randomly distributed. For another example, the charging power is distributed according to the SOCs of all the batteries to be charged, for example, a small SOC distributes a larger charging power and a large SOC distributes a smaller charging power. The embodiment of the present application is not limited as long as the sum of the allocated charging powers of all the batteries to be charged is equal to the maximum input power of the battery exchange station.
Alternatively, in case the maximum input power of the battery exchange station is greater than or equal to the sum of the maximum input powers of all the batteries to be charged in the battery exchange station, each battery to be charged may be charged according to its maximum input power.
The charging method of the battery according to the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail.
First, each parameter used in the charging method is defined as follows. The total number of battery that the power exchange station can hold is N sum, the minimum number of battery that the power exchange station needs to operate is N min, the total number of battery in the current power exchange station is N current, the maximum input power of the power exchange station is P maxstation, the maximum input power of each battery is P maxbettery, and the number of battery to be charged is N charge. The SOC of the nth battery is SOC (n), the minimum SOC allowing battery replacement is SOC min, the maximum SOC which the battery can charge, namely the ideal working condition SOC is SOC ideal, the number of the batteries which are larger than or equal to the minimum SOC allowing battery replacement is count (SOC (n) > SOC min), and the number of the batteries which are smaller than the ideal working condition SOC is count (SOC (n) > SOC ideal).
Charging strategy with electricity price at peak period:
1. If N current = 0, the battery in the battery exchange station is not charged.
2. If N current=N min, and count (SOC (N) > SOC min)<N min. All the cells of SOC (N) < SOC min begin to charge until count (SOC (N) > SOC min) reaches N min.
3. If N current>N min, and count (SOC (N). Gtoreq.SOC min)<N min.
A.N min-count(soc(n)≥SOC min) is more than or equal to 1, selecting the battery with the smallest difference value for charging according to the SOC min -SOC (N) sequence until the count (SOC (N) is more than or equal to SOC min) reaches N min.
B.N min-count(soc(n)≥SOC min) is less than or equal to 0, the battery in the power exchange station can not be charged.
In the charging process, if the number of the current batteries to be charged is N charge =1 and P maxstation<P maxbettery, the charging power=p maxstation can be adjusted; if the number of the current batteries to be charged is N charge > 1 and P maxstation<P maxbettery, the charging power= (P maxstation/N charge) of each battery to be charged can be adjusted; if P maxstation≥P maxbettery, each battery to be charged is charged with the charging power of P maxbettery.
Charging strategy with electricity prices in trough period:
if N current = 0, the battery in the battery exchange station is not charged.
If there are batteries with count (SOC ideal) > 0, all batteries with SOC ideal with SOC n are charged until SOC ideal is reached.
In the charging process, if the number of the current batteries to be charged is N charge =1 and P maxstation<P maxbettery, the charging power=p maxstation can be adjusted; if the number of the current batteries to be charged is N charge >1 and P maxstation<P maxbettery, the charging power= (P maxstation/N charge) of each battery to be charged can be adjusted; if P maxstation≥P maxbettery, each battery to be charged is charged with the charging power of P maxbettery.
