Abstract

The state of internal resistance is appropriately expressed for a battery being energized. A battery management system includes a battery information acquisition section, a voltage calculation section, a current fluctuation amount calculation section 109 and a resistance correction amount calculation section. The battery information acquisition section acquires a voltage value V of a storage battery being energized. The voltage calculation section acquires a predicted battery voltage value V model of the storage battery being energized by a method different from that of the battery information acquisition section. The current fluctuation amount calculation section calculates a current fluctuation amount dI/dt of the storage battery per unit time. Based on the comparison result of the voltage value V and the predicted battery voltage value V model and the current fluctuation amount dI/dt, the resistance correction amount calculation section corrects an equivalent circuit model expressing the internal state of the storage battery including a DC resistance component R 0 and a polarization resistance component R p .

Claims (29)

1. A battery management system, comprising:

a battery manager; and

a secondary battery managed by the battery manager, wherein the battery manager is configured to:

acquire a voltage value of the secondary battery being energized as a first voltage value;

acquire a voltage value of the secondary battery being energized as a second voltage value by a method different from that associated with the first voltage value;

calculate a current fluctuation amount of the secondary battery per unit time;

correct an equivalent circuit model expressing an internal state of the secondary battery including a DC resistance component and a polarization resistance component based on a comparison result of the first voltage value and the second voltage value and the current fluctuation amount;

calculate an allowable current or allowable power of the secondary battery based on the corrected equivalent circuit model; and

control a charge/discharge current of the secondary battery based on the allowable current or the allowable power.

2. The battery management system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the battery manager is also configured to:

acquire a voltage measurement value of the secondary battery being energized as the first voltage value, and

acquire the second voltage value by calculation based on the equivalent circuit model.

3. The battery management system according to claim 2 , wherein the battery manager is also configured to:

obtain a deviation degree between the first voltage value and the second voltage value, and

correct the equivalent circuit model based on the obtained deviation degree and the current fluctuation amount.

4. The battery management system according to claim 3 , wherein the battery manager is also configured to:

determine correction distributions for the DC resistance component and the polarization resistance component based on the current fluctuation amount, and

correct the equivalent circuit model based on the obtained deviation degree and the correction distributions.

5. The battery management system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the battery manager is also configured to:

determine the correction distributions based on correction distribution information which is stored in advance, and

indicate relationships between the current fluctuation amount and the correction distributions.

6. The battery management system according to claim 5 ,

wherein the correction distribution information is set such that a correction distribution for the DC resistance component and a correction distribution for the polarization resistance component are changed in inverse correlation for a change in the current fluctuation amount.

7. A hybrid vehicle control system, comprising:

an engine and a motor provided through a power split mechanism; and

the battery management system according to claim 1 , wherein

driving force distributions for the engine and the motor are controlled according to a control of the charge/discharge current.
