Abstract

A method and device for determining an available capacity of a battery, a battery management system, and a storage medium, relating to the field of battery technologies. The method includes: obtaining the at least one DOD interval corresponding to the SOC interval of the operation of the battery, and the number of cycles and the cycle temperature corresponding to the at least one DOD interval; obtaining a recoverable amount of capacity fade of the battery according to the at least one DOD interval, the number of cycles and the cycle temperature, and determining an actual available capacity of the battery.

Claims (19)

1. A method for determining an available capacity of a battery, executed by a processor located in a device for determining the available capacity of a battery, comprising:

collecting a first State of Charge (SOC) of the battery before the battery is charged and a second SOC of the battery after the battery is charged;

determining a State of Charge (SOC) interval of the battery based on the first SOC of the battery before the battery is charged and the second SOC of the battery after the battery is charged;

determining at least one Depth of Discharge (DOD) interval set in the SOC interval based on setting information, wherein the DOD interval is an SOC operation interval set in an SOC usage interval which is 0 to 100%;

determining a number of cycles and a cycle temperature of the battery in the at least one DOD interval, wherein the number of cycles is a number of cycle operations of the battery in one DOD interval, and wherein the cycle temperature is a battery temperature at which the battery operates in one DOD interval;

determining an interval recoverable amount of capacity fade of the battery based on correspondence information between an interval recoverable amount of capacity fade, and the at least one DOD interval, the number of cycles and the cycle temperature in the at least one DOD interval, wherein the correspondence information is calibrated by performing an operating condition cycle test to test the recoverable amount of capacity fade corresponding to different DOD intervals, different numbers of cycles and different cycle temperatures, and wherein the correspondence information comprises a functional relation, a table, or a model;

determining a first single recoverable amount of capacity fade of the battery in a current operation by adding a plurality of interval recoverable amounts of capacity fade;

determining a second single recoverable amount of capacity fade of the battery in the last operation;

determining the recoverable amount of capacity fade of the battery under the current operating condition by performing a weighted calculation on the second single recoverable amount of capacity fade and the first single recoverable amount of capacity fade; and

correcting an actual available capacity of the battery based on the recoverable amount of capacity fade of the battery.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the recoverable amount of capacity fade of the battery under the current operating condition is Dnew=α1D1+α2D2, where D1 is the second single recoverable amount of capacity fade, D2 is the first single recoverable amount of capacity fade, α1 and α2 are weight values, and a numerical range of α1 and α2 is [−1, 1].

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein correcting an actual available capacity of the battery based on the recoverable amount of capacity fade comprises:

calculating a first available capacity of the battery by linear interpolation of an accumulated ampere-hour value based on battery operation data;

calculating the actual available capacity of the battery by adding the first available capacity to the recoverable amount of capacity fade; and

obtaining a state of health of the battery based on the actual available capacity.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

under the condition that the recoverable amount of capacity fade is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, determining that the recoverable amount of capacity fade of the battery needs to be eliminated.

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

under the condition that the recoverable amount of capacity fade is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, performing N full charge and full discharge cycle operations on the battery according to the number of times of charging and discharging, to eliminate the recoverable amount of capacity attenuation of the battery, wherein N is the number of charge and discharge cycles required to eliminate the capacity fade under the current recoverable amount of capacity fade measured by the experiments.
