Abstract:

The widespread application of lithium-ion batteries in the fields of new energy vehicles and energy storage presents challenges in accurately estimating their internal states, particularly the temperature within the battery core, which is crucial for thermal runaway prediction. This paper reviews classical sensor-less methods for battery temperature detection and introduces the current approach based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for temperature estimation. It investigates the influence of internal battery parameters on temperature estimation using EIS and analyzes the relationship between impedance magnitude, phase angle, and temperature for high-capacity ternary lithium-ion power batteries at different frequencies. A model for online temperature estimation of lithium-ion batteries based on EIS is proposed, which achieves accurate estimation of internal battery temperature by analyzing the relationship between impedance magnitude, phase angle, and temperature at different frequencies. The study indicates that the frequency point of 10 Hz is suitable for estimating temperature using impedance magnitude information, while the frequency point of 17.5 Hz is suitable for estimating temperature using impedance phase angle information. Within the range of -20 ℃ to 45 ℃, the maximum error in temperature estimation using impedance magnitude is 3.79 ℃, and using impedance phase angle is 2.69 ℃. Validation results demonstrate that the use of impedance spectrum magnitude and phase angle information effectively estimates the true internal temperature of the battery. This study helps to improve the acquisition function of automotive BMS, which can be used to improve the management strategy of battery thermal management and thermal runaway.
