Abstract

Provided is a method and an apparatus for determining a state of charge of a battery, a battery management system and a storage medium, and relates to the field of battery technologies, where the method includes: obtaining a current OCV value of a battery and cumulative continuous charging or discharging capacity information of the battery; obtaining SOC credible information based on the current OCV value and the cumulative continuous charging or discharging capacity information; obtaining a corrected SOC value corresponding to the current OCV value according to the SOC credible information. According to the present disclosure, accuracy of SOC correction could be improved by determining the SOC credible information under the current OCV; for batteries, especially those with a hysteresis characteristic, accuracy of SOC estimation could be improved, an error of SOC estimation could be reduced and reliability of battery and experience of users could be improved.

Claims (40)

1. A method for determining a state of charge of a battery, comprising:

obtaining a current OCV value of a battery;

obtaining cumulative continuous charging capacity information of the battery;

obtaining SOC credible information based on the current OCV value and the cumulative continuous charging capacity information, the SOC credible information includes an SOC upper limit and an SOC lower limit;

obtaining an initial SOC value corresponding to the current OCV value;

correcting the initial SOC value to the SOC upper limit if the initial SOC value is greater than the SOC upper limit.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the obtaining a current OCV value of a battery comprises:

obtaining the current OCV value of the battery if it is determined that the battery is in a static state based on a preset static condition;

wherein the preset static condition comprises:

a static time of the battery reaching or exceeding a preset static time threshold.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the obtaining cumulative continuous charging capacity information of the battery, comprises:

obtaining the cumulative continuous charging capacity if the battery is in a charging state before being in the static state.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

recording the cumulative continuous charging capacity of the battery.

5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising:

in a case that a current direction of the battery changes from a charging direction to a discharging direction, clearing the cumulative continuous charging capacity if it is determined that a duration of a current direction change exceeds a preset first duration threshold or a capacity discharged by the battery exceeds a preset first capacity threshold.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the obtaining an initial SOC value corresponding to the current OCV value comprises:

obtaining preset first mapping relationship information between an OCV and an SOC; and

obtaining the initial SOC value corresponding to the current OCV value based on the first mapping relationship information between the OCV and the SOC.

7. An apparatus for determining a state of charge of a battery, comprising:

a battery information obtaining module, configured to obtain a current OCV value of a battery and cumulative continuous charging capacity information of the battery;

an SOC credible information determining module, configured to obtain SOC credible information based on the current OCV value and the cumulative continuous charging capacity information, the SOC credible information includes an SOC upper limit and an SOC lower limit; and

an SOC correcting module, configured to obtain a corrected SOC value corresponding to the current OCV value; and

correct the initial SOC value to the SOC upper limit if the initial SOC value is greater than the SOC upper limit.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the SOC correcting module is further configured to

correct the initial SOC value to the SOC lower limit if the initial SOC value is smaller than the SOC lower limit.

9. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the battery information obtaining module is configured to

obtain the cumulative continuous charging capacity if the battery is in a charging state before being in the static state.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , further comprising:

a charging and discharging capacity recording module, configured to record the cumulative continuous charging capacity of the battery.

12. The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein

in a case that a current direction of the battery changes from a charging direction to a discharging direction, the charging and discharging capacity recording module is further configured to clear the cumulative continuous charging capacity if it is determined that a duration of a current direction change exceeds a preset first duration threshold or a capacity discharged by the battery exceeds a preset first capacity threshold.

13. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the SOC correcting module is further configured to

obtain preset first mapping relationship information between an OCV and an SOC; and
