Description

本発明は、複数個の蓄電池を組み合わせて構成した組電池における個々の蓄電池の劣化診断を行う方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing deterioration of individual storage batteries in an assembled battery configured by combining a plurality of storage batteries.

鉛蓄電池に代表される蓄電池、すなわち二次電池は、電気機器の電源、計測機器の自動バックアップ電源、無停電電源装置(UPS)、電気自動車(ハイブリッド車を含む)の装置の信頼性を左右する重要な部品となっている。   A storage battery represented by a lead storage battery, that is, a secondary battery, influences the reliability of electrical equipment power supplies, automatic backup power supplies for measurement equipment, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and electric vehicles (including hybrid vehicles). It is an important part.

しかしながら、化学反応を基本とするために、定期的に交換しなければ、その蓄電池を使用している装置の信頼性や性能が維持できなくなる場合があり、さらに、安全面においても非常に危険である。特に、非常時だけ蓄電池を動作させる装置、例えばUPSの場合には、蓄電池が劣化していた場合には、非常時にバックアップが出来ず、装置の信頼性を大きく損ねるばかりでなく重大な事故を招くことにもなる。
このため、蓄電池の寿命あるいは劣化を適切に診断して適切な時期に蓄電池を交換する必要があり、そのためには蓄電池の劣化状態を診断する技術が必要になる。
However, since it is based on a chemical reaction, if it is not periodically replaced, the reliability and performance of the device using the storage battery may not be maintained, and it is also very dangerous for safety. is there. In particular, in the case of a device that operates a storage battery only in an emergency, such as a UPS, if the storage battery has deteriorated, backup cannot be performed in an emergency, not only greatly reducing the reliability of the device but also causing a serious accident. It will also be a thing.
For this reason, it is necessary to appropriately diagnose the life or deterioration of the storage battery and replace the storage battery at an appropriate time. For this purpose, a technique for diagnosing the deterioration state of the storage battery is required.

また、電源として使用される場合、蓄電池を複数個組み合わせて「組電池」として使用される場合が多い。この組電池は、複数個の蓄電池からなるために、その個々の蓄電池の製造条件や組電池の形態(組電池における蓄電池の組み合わせ方など)、さらには組電池の個々の蓄電池への使用環境の影響の違いなどによって、蓄電池の劣化の程度差が異なっている。   When used as a power source, a plurality of storage batteries are often combined and used as an “assembled battery”. Since this assembled battery is composed of a plurality of storage batteries, the manufacturing conditions of each individual storage battery, the form of the assembled battery (how to combine the storage batteries in the assembled battery, etc.), and the usage environment of the assembled battery for each storage battery The difference in the degree of deterioration of the storage battery varies depending on the influence.

以上のような背景から、蓄電池の劣化状態を診断する方法は、いろいろな方法が提案されており、特に、常時フロート充電状態にある据置用VRLA電池の点検(劣化診断)は、交流1kHz法や直流放電方式によっておこなわれてきた(特許文献1、2など参照)。   In view of the above background, various methods have been proposed for diagnosing the deterioration state of the storage battery. In particular, the inspection (deterioration diagnosis) of the stationary VRLA battery that is always in the float charge state is the AC 1 kHz method or the This has been done by a direct current discharge method (see Patent Documents 1 and 2, etc.).

しかしながら、直流放電方式においては、一旦フロート充電を止めて電池電圧を安定化させてから行なっていたため、充電停止の手間の増加や、突然の停電に対するリスクを伴っての診断であった。何故、フロート充電を止めていたかというと、開回路電圧は電解液比重に依存していて蓄電池の劣化診断の尺度になるが、フロート充電中の各セルの充電電圧は開回路電圧との相関が低いため、正確な診断ができないからであった。
また、交流1kHz法でも直流放電方式でも、フロート充電中の充電状態診断はできなかった。
However, in the DC discharge method, since the float charging is once stopped and the battery voltage is stabilized, the diagnosis is accompanied by an increase in time for stopping charging and a risk for a sudden power failure. The reason why the float charge was stopped is that the open circuit voltage depends on the specific gravity of the electrolyte and is a measure for the deterioration diagnosis of the storage battery, but the charge voltage of each cell during the float charge has a correlation with the open circuit voltage. This is because it is low and an accurate diagnosis cannot be made.
Also, neither the AC 1 kHz method nor the DC discharge method was able to diagnose the state of charge during float charging.

そこで、このような課題の状況に際して、本発明は、組電池の個々の蓄電池の劣化診断を短時間に精度良く計測する組電池の劣化診断方法を提供するものである。   Therefore, in the situation of such problems, the present invention provides an assembled battery deterioration diagnosis method that accurately measures deterioration diagnosis of individual storage batteries of the assembled battery in a short time.

本発明の第1の発明は、フロート充電中の複数の電池から構成される組電池を放電させることによって、その組電池の劣化状態を診断する方法において、その放電の放電電流が、0.02CA以上の電流であることを特徴とする。   According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for diagnosing a deterioration state of an assembled battery by discharging an assembled battery composed of a plurality of batteries being float charged. It is the above current.

本発明の第2の発明は、第1の発明におけるフロート充電中の電池電圧と、放電における放電開始時を起点に0.001秒から0.01秒までの間のいずれかの時間に測定した放電中の電池電圧との差を求め、その差を、その放電電流で除算して求めた電池の内部抵抗を用いたことを特徴とする組電池の劣化診断方法である。   The second invention of the present invention was measured at any time between 0.001 seconds and 0.01 seconds starting from the battery voltage during the float charge in the first invention and the discharge start time in the discharge. A battery pack deterioration diagnosis method using a battery internal resistance obtained by calculating a difference from a battery voltage during discharge and dividing the difference by the discharge current.

本発明の第3の発明は、放電開始時を起点に0.5秒から5秒までの間のいずれかの時間に測定した電池電圧と、放電電流にフロート充電中の電池電圧と放電における放電開始を起点に0.001秒から0.01秒までの間のいずれかの時間に測定した放電中の電池電圧との差を放電電流で除算して求めた電池の内部抵抗を乗算して求めた値、との加算値を用いて電池の充電状態を診断することを特徴とする組電池の充電状態診断方法である。   According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a battery voltage measured at any time between 0.5 seconds and 5 seconds from the start of discharge, a battery voltage during float charging and a discharge during discharge. Obtained by multiplying the internal resistance of the battery obtained by dividing the difference from the battery voltage during discharge measured at any time between 0.001 seconds and 0.01 seconds from the start by dividing by the discharge current. The battery state of charge is diagnosed using a value obtained by adding the value to the battery value.

本発明によれば、フロート充電中においても、その劣化状態を、自己放電の影響を受けずに、さらに測定時には、開回路電圧(OCV)の安定を待つことなく測定ができ、また測定に要する時間も短時間で済むことから、その計測時間を著しく短縮するものである。さらには、測定に使用する装置も小型かつ安価な装置とすることが可能となり、工業上顕著な効果を奏するものである。   According to the present invention, even during float charging, the degradation state can be measured without waiting for the stability of the open circuit voltage (OCV) at the time of measurement without being affected by self-discharge, and required for measurement. Since the time is short, the measurement time is remarkably shortened. Furthermore, the apparatus used for the measurement can be made small and inexpensive, which has a remarkable industrial effect.

図1は、フロート充電した状態で放電を行った場合の組電池の電圧の変化を示す図で、横軸は「時間」、縦軸は「電圧」である。
図1は、放電が開始すると、初期に急激に電圧が下降し、その急激な電圧の低下を過ぎた後は、緩やかな電圧降下が続くが、放電が終了した後は、フロート充電の作用によって電圧が急上昇した後、緩やかに電圧の上昇が継続されることを示している。
The deterioration diagnosis method and charge diagnosis method of the present invention will be described below.
An outline of the deterioration diagnosis method and the charge diagnosis method of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a change in voltage of a battery pack when discharging is performed in a float charge state, where the horizontal axis is “time” and the vertical axis is “voltage”.
FIG. 1 shows that when the discharge starts, the voltage drops rapidly in the initial stage, and after the rapid voltage drop, the gradual voltage drop continues. It shows that after the voltage suddenly rises, the voltage rise continues gently.

[劣化診断]
本発明の劣化診断は、この放電における所定の放電時間(図1のtdc)での電圧降下量dV(図1の「DC−IR」で示される値)を測定し、その値を放電電流値Idcで除算して算出した電池の内部抵抗rcellを用いて、電池(セル)の劣化程度を判定するものである。
この劣化診断を行うためのデータを収集する試験の条件の根拠について以下に示す。
[Deterioration diagnosis]
The deterioration diagnosis of the present invention measures a voltage drop dV (a value indicated by “DC-IR” in FIG. 1) during a predetermined discharge time (t dc in FIG. 1) in this discharge, and uses the value as a discharge current. The degree of deterioration of the battery (cell) is determined using the battery internal resistance r cell calculated by dividing by the value I dc .
The basis of the test conditions for collecting data for performing this deterioration diagnosis is shown below.

(1)放電電流
フロート充電中の組電池内の1つのセルを放電電流0.02CAから0.2CAまでの間の電流で放電したときの電圧推移の一例を図4に示す。
どの電流で放電したときも、放電を開始した直後は電圧が急激に低下し、その後は緩やかに低下し、その後一旦電圧低下が安定すると、放電による比重低下による濃度分極の影響で直線的に低下する傾向がある。
しかし、放電電流の大小により、緩やかに低下する速度が大きく異なる。緩やかに低下する部分では、活性化分極の解消が起こっており、本例のようにフロート充電中に放電をすると、各セルで分極を起こしている程度が異なるため、電圧が安定するまでの時間がまちまちとなる。放電電流が図に示す電流より小さいと、電圧降下が安定するまでに非常に時間がかかることになる。逆に電流が大きいと、今度は濃度分極による電圧低下が発生するため、正確な測定ができなくなる。
従って、放電電流の目安は、0.02CA以上、0.1CA以下の範囲が望ましい。
(1) Discharge Current FIG. 4 shows an example of voltage transition when one cell in the assembled battery being float charged is discharged with a current between 0.02 CA and 0.2 CA discharge current.
When discharging at any current, the voltage drops sharply immediately after the start of discharge, then gradually decreases, and once the voltage drop stabilizes, it drops linearly due to the effect of concentration polarization due to the decrease in specific gravity due to discharge. Tend to.
However, the rate of gradual decrease greatly varies depending on the magnitude of the discharge current. In the slowly decreasing part, the activation polarization is eliminated, and when discharging during float charging as in this example, the degree of polarization in each cell differs, so the time until the voltage stabilizes Will be mixed. If the discharge current is smaller than the current shown in the figure, it takes a very long time for the voltage drop to stabilize. On the other hand, if the current is large, a voltage drop due to concentration polarization occurs, and accurate measurement cannot be performed.
Therefore, the standard of the discharge current is desirably in the range of 0.02 CA or more and 0.1 CA or less.

(2)内部抵抗「DC−IR」を意味する電圧降下量dVを求めるための放電開始後のセル電圧(放電電圧)の測定地点の範囲
放電開始時を起点に0.001秒から0.01秒後の範囲に測定地点を採る理由は、図5に示すセルの内部抵抗値(DC−IR)の時間推移から、内部抵抗「DC−IR」は、およそ0.01秒の間まで安定しているが、0.01秒以降は恐らく充電分極の解消および活性化分極の発生の影響で、大きく変化するものもあらわれている。このことより、診断に用いるセルの内部抵抗値(DC−IR)を算出するための放電電圧の値を測定する測定地点は、放電開始時を起点に0.001秒から0.01秒までの間が望ましい。
0.001秒未満では放電による電圧降下量が小さく、また0.01秒を超えると電圧降下にバラツキを生じ易くなり、得られる内部抵抗の値の誤差が大きくなることから上記範囲としている。
(2) Range of measurement point of cell voltage (discharge voltage) after start of discharge for obtaining voltage drop amount dV meaning internal resistance “DC-IR” 0.001 second to 0.01 from start of discharge The reason for taking the measurement point in the range after 2 seconds is that the internal resistance “DC-IR” is stable until about 0.01 seconds from the time transition of the internal resistance value (DC-IR) of the cell shown in FIG. However, after 0.01 second, there are some that change significantly due to the effects of elimination of charge polarization and generation of activation polarization. From this, the measurement point for measuring the value of the discharge voltage for calculating the internal resistance value (DC-IR) of the cell used for diagnosis is from 0.001 second to 0.01 second from the start of discharge. The interval is desirable.
If it is less than 0.001 seconds, the amount of voltage drop due to discharge is small, and if it exceeds 0.01 seconds, the voltage drop tends to vary, and the error in the value of the obtained internal resistance becomes large.

[充電状態診断]
充電状態診断は、放電開始後の緩やかな電圧低下時の放電電圧Vadc(図1のAに示す範囲)に、放電電流Idcと電池の内部抵抗rcellを乗算した値Idc×rcellを加算した値Veocvを開回路電圧の推定の値(推定OCV)とし、予め定めたしきい値と比較して、その電池の充電状態を診断するものである。放電する際、組電池全体に電子負荷を接続して組電池全体を放電すると、放電を開始して電圧低下するや否や、直流電源からはその設定充電電圧を維持するために充電電流が増加する。
結局、電池に流れる電流は、電子負荷からの放電電流を直流電源からの充電電流で相殺した電流であるため、まともな診断ができない。よって本発明では、組電池を構成する複数のセルのうちの1個を放電することで、フロート充電時の電流の変化が小さくなるようにしている。
[Charge state diagnosis]
The charge state diagnosis is a value I dc × r cell obtained by multiplying the discharge voltage V adc (range shown by A in FIG. 1) at the time of a gradual voltage drop after the start of discharge by the discharge current I dc and the internal resistance r cell of the battery. The value V eocv obtained by adding is used as an open circuit voltage estimation value (estimated OCV), and compared with a predetermined threshold value to diagnose the state of charge of the battery. When discharging, if an electronic load is connected to the entire assembled battery and the entire assembled battery is discharged, the charging current increases from the DC power supply to maintain the set charging voltage as soon as the discharge starts and the voltage drops. .
After all, since the current flowing through the battery is a current obtained by canceling the discharge current from the electronic load with the charging current from the DC power supply, a proper diagnosis cannot be made. Therefore, in the present invention, by discharging one of a plurality of cells constituting the assembled battery, a change in current during float charging is reduced.

充電状態診断に用いる放電電圧Vadc(図1のAに示す範囲)は、表1より放電開始後から0.5〜5秒後における値を用いることが望ましく、より望ましくは2〜5秒後における放電電圧を測定するのが良い。0.5秒より短い場合では、図1からもわかるように、放電電圧の変化が未だ大きく、推定OCVによる充電状態診断に大きな誤差を生じ可能性がある。また、5秒を超えては、その変化がわずかであることから測定精度および測定効率の点から、それ以上の時間後の測定は無駄であると考えられるために上記範囲が望ましい。 As for the discharge voltage V adc (range shown in FIG. 1A) used for the charge state diagnosis, it is preferable to use a value 0.5 to 5 seconds after the start of discharge from Table 1, more preferably 2 to 5 seconds later. It is better to measure the discharge voltage at. When the time is shorter than 0.5 seconds, as can be seen from FIG. 1, the change in the discharge voltage is still large, and a large error may occur in the charge state diagnosis by the estimated OCV. In addition, since the change is slight beyond 5 seconds, from the viewpoint of measurement accuracy and measurement efficiency, it is considered that measurement after a longer time is useless, so the above range is desirable.

[劣化・充電状態診断方法]
次に、実際に各々の診断を行うためには、以下に示す試験を行い、セルの内部抵抗、推定OCVを求める。n個のセルを直列に接続したnセル組電池の劣化診断、充電状態診断を行う場合、図2に示す試験回路を構成して試験を行う。

容量と内部抵抗の相関図を図15に示す。
一般に、据置VRLA電池は定格容量の70%以下に容量低下すると寿命と判断される。本試験に用いた電池の初期状態における内部抵抗(DC−IR)は、0.20〜25[mΩ]である。容量が70%以下であったセルの内部抵抗はどれも1mΩ以上となっていた。また、容量が80%程度であったセルも全て、内部抵抗が初期値の2倍以上となっていた。

In general, a stationary VRLA battery is considered to have a lifetime when its capacity drops to 70% or less of the rated capacity. The internal resistance (DC-IR) in the initial state of the battery used in this test is 0.20 to 25 [mΩ]. The internal resistance of each cell having a capacity of 70% or less was 1 mΩ or more. Also, all the cells having a capacity of about 80% had an internal resistance of more than twice the initial value.
