Abstract:

Lithium-ion batteries play a crucial role in promoting the widespread use of renewable energy and ensuring the stable operation of power grids. However, thermal runaway-induced thermal spread in these batteries can result in significant losses. Therefore, thermal runaway warning technology for lithium-ion batteries is essential for preventing safety issues. This study develops a lithium-ion battery thermal runaway test platform, collecting data on surface temperature, output voltage, and battery expansion pressure during normal cycles and overcharge-induced thermal runaway events. A total of 66895 samples were obtained, including 245 samples exhibiting overcharge thermal runaway. The dataset captures the continuous transition from normal operation to overcharge and subsequent thermal runaway in a time series. The internal volume changes of the battery are effectively represented by measuring the expansion pressure signals. A regression prediction algorithm based on SE-Res-LSTM is developed to predict battery expansion pressure, utilizing the prediction error to detect overcharge-induced thermal runaway in real-time. In terms of timeliness, early detection of overcharge thermal runaway is achieved 12 s after the onset of overcharging, which is 233 s earlier than the conventional temperature-based method that triggers a warning when the battery surface reaches 60 ℃. This significantly enhances the accuracy and responsiveness of early warning systems.
