　　In aaa alkaline battery management systems, do you know what are the commonly used SOC calculation methods?

　　1.2.2 Current sampling circuit

　　During current sampling, the parameters in the battery management system are an important basis for battery overcurrent protection. The current sampling circuit in this system is shown in Figure 2. When the battery is discharged, a constantan wire is used to detect the current signal, and the detected voltage signal is amplified by a differential mode amplifier and converted into a voltage signal of 0~5V and sent to the microcontroller. If the discharge current is too large and the voltage signal detected by the microcontroller is relatively large, it will drive the transistor to change the gate voltage of the MOS tube and turn off the discharge circuit. For example, for a 36V lithium manganate battery, the protection current is set to 60A. The resistance of constantan wire is about 5mΩ. When the current reaches 60A, the voltage of the constantan wire reaches about 300mV. In order to improve the accuracy, the voltage is amplified 10 times through the amplifier and sent to the microcontroller for detection.

　　1.2.3 Temperature detection

　　During the charging and discharging process of the battery pack, part of the energy is released in the form of heat. If this part of the heat is not removed in time, it will cause the battery pack to overheat. If the temperature of a single nickel-metal hydride battery exceeds 55°C, the battery characteristics will deteriorate, and the charge and discharge balance of the battery pack will be disrupted, resulting in permanent damage or explosion of the battery pack. In order to prevent the above situation from happening, the battery pack temperature needs to be monitored in real time and heat dissipated.

　　A thermistor is used as a temperature sensor for temperature sampling. Thermistor is a heat-sensitive semiconductor resistor whose resistance value decreases as the temperature increases. The resistance temperature characteristics can be approximately expressed by the following formula:

　　1.3 Balance module

　　Commonly used equalization methods for battery packs include shunt method, flying capacitor equalization charging method, inductive energy transfer method, etc. In this system, more I/O ports are needed to drive the switch tubes, and the I/O ports of the microcontroller are limited, so the charging balancing method of converting full charge to single charge is adopted. The schematic is shown in Figure 3. Q4 is the switch that controls the overall charging of the battery pack, and Q2, Q3, and Q5 are the switches that control the charging of a single battery. Taking a 10-cell lithium manganate battery pack as an example, the voltage at both ends of the main coil of the transformer is 42V, and the voltage of the secondary coil is the battery's rated voltage of 4.2V. At the beginning, Q4 is turned on, Q2, Q3, and Q5 are turned off. The voltage of a single battery continues to rise. When it is detected that the voltage of a certain battery reaches the rated voltage 4.2V, the voltage detection chip sends a driving signal, turns off Q4, and turns on Q2. , Q3, Q5, the entire system enters the single charging stage, and the battery that is not fully charged continues to be charged, so that the battery that reaches the rated voltage keeps the rated voltage unchanged. After testing, the voltage difference will not exceed 50mV.

　　2SOC power detection

　　In aaa alkaline battery management systems, commonly used SOC calculation methods include open circuit voltage method, Coulomb calculation method, impedance measurement method, and comprehensive table lookup method [3].

　　(1) The open circuit voltage method is the simplest measurement method, which mainly determines the size of the SOC based on the size of the battery's open circuit voltage. It can be seen from the operating characteristics of the battery that there is a certain corresponding relationship between the open circuit voltage of the battery and the remaining capacity of the battery.

　　(2) The Coulomb calculation method measures the charging and discharging current of the battery, integrates the product of the current value and the time value, and then calculates the amount of electricity charged and discharged by the battery, and uses this to estimate the SOC value.

　　(3) The impedance measurement method uses a certain linear relationship between the internal resistance of the battery and the state of charge SOC, and calculates the internal resistance of the battery by measuring the voltage and current parameters of the battery, thereby obtaining an estimate of the SOC.

　　(4) In the comprehensive look-up table method, the remaining capacity SOC of the battery is closely related to the voltage, current, temperature and other parameters of the battery. By setting up a related table and inputting parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, etc., the remaining capacity value of the battery can be queried.

　　In this design, the software programming method is adopted from the aspects of circuit integration, cost, and performance of the selected MCU. Combining several methods, it is more appropriate to use the Coulomb calculation method.

　　(1) Use C to represent the total power released when the lithium battery pack drops from 42V to 32V.

　　(2) Use eta to represent the ratio of the amount of electricity released to C after the current i has passed time t.

　　Among them, CRM is the remaining power. Let ΔCi = i × Δt, which represents the discharge amount of the battery pack discharged by i during the stationary time t; or the charging amount of the battery pack charged by i. The remaining capacity is actually the calculation and accumulation of ΔCi. Set an appropriate sampling time Δt, measure the current current value, and then calculate the product to obtain the change in the remaining capacity CRM within Δt time, so as to continuously update the value of CRM to achieve SOC power detection.
