- the deposition amount detection unit 37 detects a short circuit 371 that temporarily short-circuits both ends of the lithium ion battery to discharge it, and a current and voltage when the lithium ion battery is short-circuited by the short circuit 371. It has a calculator 372 for estimating the lithium deposition amount based on the behavior.

- the above estimation method has a very simple configuration, and is a very useful method in that it can detect specific battery deterioration modes by adjusting the discharge frequency from the lithium-ion battery.
- the internal resistance of lithium-ion batteries is on the order of several m ⁇ to several hundred m ⁇ , and is easily affected by disturbances such as temperature and parasitic impedance. I found it difficult. This was found out after the inventors' intensive studies.
- the computing unit 372 of the precipitation amount detection unit 37 pre-stores the above estimated value in the storage unit 51 of the battery temperature detected by the temperature sensor 31 and the monitoring module 50, as shown in FIG. A corrected value corrected by both of the parasitic resistance values thus obtained is calculated as the lithium deposition amount.
- the parasitic resistance value is part of the parasitic impedance that occurs between the lithium ion battery and the short circuit 371.

Therefore, the computing unit 372 corrects the parasitic resistance value stored in the storage unit 51 according to the battery temperature, and calculates the lithium deposition amount using the corrected parasitic resistance value.
- the calculator 372 also functions as calibration means for correcting the estimated value of the amount of deposited lithium.

- the short circuit 371 is connected to the calibrating device CD, and the parasitic resistance value is obtained in this state. Then, the parasitic resistance value is stored in the storage unit 51 of the monitoring module 50 . Next, the short circuit 371 is connected to the battery module BM, and the lithium deposition amount is calculated in this state.
- the precipitation amount detection unit 37 configured in this manner can ensure robustness against parasitic impedance and temperature changes. This is very effective in accurately detecting the amount of deposited lithium.
- the short circuit 371 of the present embodiment includes a coil and has a large physique, so it is necessary to appropriately reduce the size in consideration of mountability. Downsizing can be achieved, for example, by improving the saturation magnetic flux density of the coil. Specific means for miniaturization include, for example, using a coil made of a material with a high magnetic flux density and improving the saturation magnetic flux density by providing a gap.

It should be noted that when detecting the thickness of the SEI layer, it is desirable to correct the thickness using the battery temperature, as in the case of detecting the amount of deposited lithium.
- the amount of deposited lithium and the thickness of the SEI layer are physical quantities that have a higher correlation with battery capacity deterioration than battery voltage and current.
- the deposition amount detection unit 37 and the film detection unit 38 constitute a "deterioration detection unit” that detects a physical quantity that has a higher correlation with battery capacity deterioration than battery voltage and current.

For example, based on the sensor outputs of the temperature sensor 31, the current sensor 32, and the voltage sensor 33, the battery state detection unit 39 detects a battery state in which the battery temperature is excessive, a battery state in which the battery is overcharged, and a battery state in which the internal resistance is large. Detects changing battery status, etc.

(第1実施形態)
本実施形態では、まず、高圧バッテリである電池パック1を搭載した車両のバッテリマネージメントユニット(以下、BMUとも呼ぶ)に本開示の電池監視装置20および電池監視方法を適用した例について、図1~図13を参照しつつ説明する。その後に、本実施形態では、電池監視装置20を含む充電システムBCSおよび電池評価システムBRSについて説明する。
BMUは、図1に示す電池パック1を備える。電池パック1は、外殻を構成する密閉容器11を備え、当該密閉容器11の内側に、複数の電池モジュールBM、電池監視装置20、電池ECU100が収容されたものである。密閉容器11には、その内部の圧力が高まった際に、内側にあるガスを外部に排気するための高圧保護バルブHPVが設けられている。電池パック1は、図示しない温調機器によって各電池モジュールBMを適温に調整される。
電池監視装置20および電池監視方法は、異常発熱現象につながる因子を監視し、当該因子の監視結果に基づいて異常発熱現象の発生を未然に抑える。加えて、電池監視装置20および電池監視方法は、異常発熱現象の発生初期段階に電池に生ずる異常状態を検知し、異常状態の検知結果に基づいて異常発熱現象に対する対策を実施する。これによると、異常発熱現象の発生を未然に防ぎつつ、万が一、異常発熱現象が生じたとしても、その発生初期段階から対策を実施するといった有効な熱対策を実施することができる。
電池監視装置20の析出量検出部37は、短絡回路371にてリチウムイオン電池の両端を短絡させた際の電流および電圧の少なくとも一方の変化に基づいてリチウム析出量の推定値を算出する。そして、析出量検出部37は、リチウム析出量の推定値を電池温度で補正する。これによると、リチウム析出量の推定値に含まれる電池温度の影響を小さくして、リチウム析出量の検出精度を向上させることができるので、析出量検出部37の信頼性を確保することができる。
電池監視装置20は、上述したものと同一ではなく、上述したものとは一部が異なっていてもよい。また、上述の技術的事項は、車載機器以外の機器やシステムにも転用可能である。
電池監視装置20は、電池の電圧および電流よりも電池の容量劣化に相関性が高い物理量を検出し、当該物理量に基づいて電池の容積率SOHを推定する。このように、電池の容量劣化に相関性が高い物理量によって容積率SOHを推定する構成とすれば、電池の電流および電圧から容積率SOHを求める場合に比べて、誤差の影響を避ける必要性が小さいので、短時間で容積率SOHを推定することができる。したがって、本案の電池監視装置20によれば、実用的な態様で電池状態を把握することが可能となる。
電池管理システムBMSは、上述したものと同一ではなく、上述したものとは一部が異なっていてもよい。また、上述の技術的事項は、車載機器以外の機器やシステムにも転用可能である。
以下、充電システムBCSについて、図14~図19を参照しつつ説明する。充電システムBCSは、電池パック1に含まれる電池モジュールBMを充電するシステムである。充電システムBCSは、例えば、車両用の充電ステーションに適用される。
(1)充電器120の充電制御部123は、定電流での充電の後に定電圧で充電を行うCCCV充電方式によって電池モジュールBMを充電するように構成されている。そして、充電制御部123は、例えば、図19に示すように、CC充電中にリチウム析出量が所定の閾値を超えて増加すると、定電流の電流量を減少させる。これによると、CC充電中におけるリチウム析出量が抑制されるので、電池モジュールBMの安全性を確保しつつ、電池モジュールBMの充電時間が長くなることを抑制することができる。
充電システムBCSは、上述したものと同一ではなく、上述したものとは一部が異なっていてもよい。また、上述の技術的事項は、車載機器以外の機器やシステムにも転用可能である。
リチウムイオン電池は、低温での充電や高速充電により、リチウムが析出する場合がある。リチウム析出が進行すると、内部短絡が発生し、発火・発煙に至る虞がある。そのため、リチウムイオン電池を含む蓄電池を再利用する際には、劣化度合いだけでなく、リチウム析出具合を加味した安全性を把握することが望ましい。
(1)評価装置130は、電池モジュールBMの安全性の判定結果を加味して、電池モジュールBMの価値を算定する価値算定部132を備える。これによると、ユーザに対して電池モジュールBMの適正な価値を情報として提供することができる。
電池評価システムBRSおよび電池評価方法は、上述したものと同一ではなく、上述したものとは一部が異なっていてもよい。また、上述の技術的事項は、車載機器以外の機器やシステムにも転用可能である。
次に、第2実施形態について、図23~図25を参照して説明する。本実施形態では、電池モジュールBMの使用履歴と製造履歴に基づいて電池モジュールBMの異常の発生要因を特定する例について説明する。
(1)電池監視装置20は、リチウム析出量の時間変化をリチウムイオン電池の使用履または製造履歴の1つとして記憶する記憶部51を備える。このようになっていれば、リチウム析出量を非破壊、且つ、短時間に適切に検出して、リチウム析出状態の検査を実施することができる。特に、電池モジュールBMに対してリチウム析出を検出するためのセンサを設置する構成になっているので、時間や場所を問わずリチウムの析出状態の検出を可能となる。さらに、リチウム析出量の時間変化をリチウムイオン電池の使用履歴または製造履歴の1つとして記憶部51に記憶しておくことで、いつリチウムが析出したかを明確に把握することができる。このことは、リチウム析出の責任の所在を明確にできるといった利点がある。
第2実施形態の電池監視装置20は、上述したものと同一ではなく、上述したものとは一部が異なっていてもよい。また、第2実施形態で説明した技術的事項は、車載機器以外の機器やシステムにも転用可能である。
次に、第3実施形態について、図26~図33を参照して説明する。本実施形態では、定置型の大容量蓄電システムBSSに本開示のバッテリマネージメントユニットBMUを適用した例について説明する。
(1)バッテリマネージメントユニットBMUは、リチウム析出量が所定の閾値を超えて増加すると、電池モジュールBMを昇温させるヒータ装置HMによって電池モジュールBMを加熱する。これによると、リチウム析出量が増えるタイミングでリチウムイオン電池を加熱するして、リチウム析出量の増加を適切に抑制するので、安全かつ高効率な態様でリチウムイオン電池を使用することができる。特に、本案のバッテリマネージメントユニットは、温度分布が拡大し易い大規模な蓄電設に好適である。
第3実施形態では、大容量蓄電システムBSSのバッテリマネージメントユニットBMUについて詳細について説明したが、バッテリマネージメントユニットBMUは、上述したものと同一ではなく、上述したものとは一部が異なっていてもよい。
次に、第4実施形態について、図34、図35を参照して説明する。本実施形態では、電池を収容容器SCに収容して輸送する電池輸送機器BSCについて説明する。
(1)電池輸送機器BSCは、収容容器SCと、電池の温度が意図せずに上昇し続ける異常発熱現象につながる因子を監視する因子監視部と、電池の異常を検知する異常検知部150と、を備える。そして、異常検知部150は、因子監視部の監視結果に基づいて異常発熱現象の発生を未然に抑えるとともに、異常発熱現象の発生初期段階に電池に生ずる異常状態を検知し、異常状態の検知結果に基づいて異常発熱現象に対する対策を実施する。これによると、電池を輸送する際に、異常発熱現象の発生を未然に防ぎつつ、万が一、異常発熱現象が生じたとしても、その発生初期段階から対策を実施するといった有効な熱対策を実施することができる。
第4実施形態では、電池輸送機器BSCについて詳細について説明したが、電池輸送機器BSCは、上述したものと同一ではなく、上述したものとは一部が異なっていてもよい。また、第4実施形態で説明した技術的事項は、電池輸送機器BSC以外の機器やシステムにも転用可能である。
