Abstract
A battery charging system uses power line carrier communications, for communicating battery state information associated with charging batteries, between a battery charger and a battery management system (BMS) located on the battery or battery pack. The power line carrier includes transmitters and receivers transmitting and receiving battery state information, such as current, voltage and temperature, as digital signals on existing cable conductors located between the battery/battery pack and the battery charger. The battery management system (BMS), which is physically located on the battery pack, receives the information from the power line carrier, in order to measure a variety of parameters relating to charging the battery, which may be a motor vehicle battery or a battery for operating machinery, such as fork lifts, bulldozers and other earth moving and product transportation vehicles.
Description
- This application claims the benefit, Under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/637,887, filed Dec. 22, 2004 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/647,934, filed Jan. 31, 2005, which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention is related to battery monitoring and charging. More particularly, the present invention is directed to batteries used individually or in a plurality of battery cells connected in a series or parallel configuration. This invention can be applied to batteries in mobile or stationary applications. The invention is applicable to the following battery configurations:
-
- Individual battery cells
- Batteries (comprised of cells)
- A battery pack comprised of a plurality of batteries electrically connected in series or parallel configuration or a combination of both
- Those skilled in the art understand the challenges associated with the operation of batteries (of all types and chemistries). Typical problems associated with the use of batteries, which the present invention addresses are:
-
- Determination of accurate state of charge
- Prediction and Detection of battery failure
- Unbalanced capacity within a plurality of cells or batteries within a battery pack
- Information collection and storage within a battery pack
- Battery module to battery module isolated data collection and equalization
- Control feedback from battery pack to bulk charger
- Typically the battery management system (BMS) is physically located on the battery pack in order to measure a variety of parameters relating to charging the battery, which may be a motor vehicle battery or a battery for operating machinery, such as fork lifts, and product transportation vehicles.
- Such information communicated to a battery charger includes, but is not limited to, current flow in or out, voltages and temperature of one or more batteries or cells within a battery pack.
- A difficulty with the typical method of communication between the battery charger and the battery management system (BMS) is that an additional connection is required. Typically a dedicated conductor pair is used to communicate from the battery charger to the battery management system (BMS). Typically only a two-wire connector is required to charge a battery pack, specifically for the positive and negative terminal. The challenge that is presented with the addition of more conductors is that a connector having multiple contacts is required. This addition of hardware adds cost and complexity to the system, since multiple pin connectors are more expensive and more labor intensive to install or maintain.
- Moreover, Echelon Systems Corporation of Los Gatos Calif. has developed bi-directional interconnectable sensing and communications chips for communication of message packets of intelligent information cells, which are useful in battery charging management. Among these patents include U.S. Pat. NOS. 4,918,690, 4,941,143, 4,955,018, 4,969,147, 5,297,143, 5,319,641, 5,420,572, 5,500,852, 5,513,324 and 5,519,878.
- An object of the invention is to provide inherent electrical isolation in battery management.
- Another object of the invention is to equalize all the battery modules within a battery compartment to reach an equal state of capacity.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a flexible number of measurement and equalization nodes as desired by the end user in a battery management system.
- It is yet another object to provide a battery management system which provides for accumulation and analysis of historical data relating to battery use.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide for accurate charging of batteries.
- It is also an object of the present invention to provide a battery management system, which accurately monitors various parameters, such as battery voltage, temperature and current, in order to accurately charge batteries.
- It is yet another object to provide battery state of charge data in mobile or stationary battery powered subject matters.
- It is a further object of the present invention to be able to ascertain deteriorating or non-functioning components of a battery pack.
- It is also an object of the present invention to use a Power Line Carrier (PLC) method to provide digital communications about battery state conditions between a battery management system and a battery charger.
- It is also an object to improve over the disadvantages of the prior art.
- Other objects which become apparent from the following description of the present invention.
- It is well known that accurate battery management is critical to the operation of batteries. Batteries, which have been configured in a series or parallel configuration, add another level of complexity to accurate battery management. The invention is a battery management system, which monitors various parameters, such as battery voltage, temperature and current.
- This information is utilized in order to:
-
- Determine accurate state of charge
- Determine battery state of health
- Predict premature battery failure
- Control bulk battery charging based on individual battery conditions
- Provide data to mobile-based systems such as those found in electric or hybrid electric vehicles.
- Provide data to stationary based systems such as those found in telecommunications, uninterruptible power supplies or battery back-up systems
- Report deteriorating and/or fallen modules within the overall battery pack
- An object of the invention is the inherent electrical isolation, which is a well understood benefit to those in the industry. The isolation is achieved by using individual measurement and equalization nodes (placed on each battery or battery cell, as required), which communicate over an electrically isolated communication network and take measurements using an isolated voltage measurement technique.
- Another object of the invention is the use of a DC equalization bus circuit, which is powered from a central power supply and is connected to the battery via the measurement and equalization node. This node provides a direct connection to the DC equalization bus through a switching network in order to additionally charge batteries, as required, to equalize all the battery modules within a battery compartment to reach an equal state of capacity. The DC equalization bus circuit is powered by the equalization power supply. The DC output of equalization power supply is matched to the voltage range of an individual battery within a series or parallel string.
- Another object of this invention is to provide an unlimited number of measurement and equalization nodes. Other battery monitoring systems require that the number of cells is preprogrammed or reconfigured in hardware. The present invention utilizes self-discovery mode, which allows for the addition or removal of measurement and equalization nodes as desired by the end user.
- The DC equalization bus can be energized in a variety of ways. Two examples are:
-
- through the use of a DC to DC converter which reduces the total voltage of the entire series string to the voltage of an individual battery
- through the use of a AC to DC power supply which uses the locally available AC mains and provides the appropriate voltage to charge an individual battery
- Another object of the invention is the electrical isolation, which exists between power and other components found within the system. One skilled in the art would recognize that safety and functionality are increased through the use of a completely electrically isolated battery management system. Electrically isolated voltage and temperature measurement and equalization is achieved by:
-
- An isolated communication network based on CAN (Controller Area Network). Those skilled in the art will recognize CAN as an electrically isolated system. The network can be used for nodes, or groups of nodes.
- A nodal system comprised of an electrically isolated voltage and temperature measurement device on each battery module or plurality of modules.
- A common DC power bus which is connected to central power supply which is adequate to charge a single battery cell. The node located on each battery cell is connected in parallel with the said DC power bus in order to add power to each battery as required. The central power supply, which powers the DC equalization bus, can be powered from an AC or DC source.
- As an alternative to the isolated communications link, such as CAN, between the battery pack and the bulk charger which may be a distance away from it, a power line carrier (PLC) communications link can be used. The PLC link is also fully isolated and permits bi-directional communications between the battery management system (BMS) and the bulk charger over the charging cables, thereby eliminating the need for a separate communications cable with its attendant connector. To facilitate the PLC link, a PLC modem is embedded within the electronics of both the BMS as well as the bulk charger. Within the PLC modem is a bi-directional PLC communications chip which acts as a transceiver either injecting communications signals onto or extracting signals from the actual high-current charging cables. This PLC communications system can be used for stationary applications such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) as well as vehicle or operating machinery battery packs such as for electric or hybrid cars, trucks or busses or for fork lifts. The Power Line Carrier (PLC) communications system can therefore be used to communicate with both on-board or stationary off-board chargers.
- This addition of the Power Line Carrier signal communications network over existing cable conductor wiring greatly enhances the battery charging system in general, while allowing the charger to fill the battery pack.
- The important information communication function between the battery charger and the battery management system is maintained without additional cable connectors. The synergistic combination of the communication of signals pertaining to battery state information over existing wiring, with the unique Power Line Carrier (PLC) and its transmitters and receivers, provide beneficial effects that are not possible with any other type of battery management system.
- The system described in this invention can have a significant effect on cost-control related to battery warranties. The BMS will store historical data on individual batteries denoting the amount of equalization used, individual battery voltage and temperature history, and any error conditions during service or charging. These quality checks determine the ability of a battery to perform according to the manufacturer's warranty and can be used to substantiate cause for replacement or subsidy. This data is also easily stamped with date and time. Besides premature failure that may be due to a manufacturer's defect, the Battery Management System (BMS) can also predict end of battery life, as described by the “complete cycle of life” stated by the manufacturer.
- The present invention can best be understood in connection with the accompanying drawings. It is noted that the invention is not limited to the precise embodiments shown in drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the battery management and equalization system of this invention; -
FIG. 2 is a detail block diagram of a single measurement and equalization node showing a relay used to connect a battery to the equalization voltage bus; -
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the overall battery management and equalization system of this invention incorporating PLC communications between the battery pack and the bulk charger, and -
FIG. 4 is a more detailed block diagram of the system ofFIG. 3 showing the PLC modems and transceiver chips. -
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the battery management and equalization system of this invention. The battery pack 1 is encircled within a dashed line border; it containsseveral batteries 5 with individual measurement andequalization nodes 11, a central battery management system (BMS),current measurement device 17, an equalization power supply 7, and a variety of lines and busses for communications within battery pack 1 as well as externally. External to battery pack 1 isbulk charger 20 with chargingcables battery cables isolated communications cable 27 between BMS 3 andbulk charger 20 as well asoutput data line 28 which can provide data such as battery pack voltage, current, and overall state of charge. The latter values are typically displayed to a driver of an electric or hybrid vehicle or to a fork lift driver. -
Bulk charger 20 can be powered by AC mains or by an AC or DC source which may be on-board a vehicle. It has built-in intelligence to communicate bi-directionally overcable 27 with BMS 3; BMS 3 sends charge current signals tocharger 20, whilecharger 20 sends signals which may include charger temperature, communications protocol or errors, and stop signals to BMS 3. The appropriate charge current setting sent by BMS 3 is based algorithms appropriate to the battery chemistry.Current measurement device 17 measures the current being supplied to load 23 or current received fromcharger 20 to the series string of batteries 5 (as shown) or to the entire set of batteries in the pack if a different configuration is used.Line 18 sends this information to BMS 3 which can then compare actual current to the current signal most recently sent tocharger 20 for example. -
FIG. 2 shows some details of a single measurement andisolation node 11.Isolated communications line 15, such as a CAN line, is daisy-chained to all of the measurement andequalization nodes 11, one per battery, to provide operating data on each individual battery to BMS 3 as well as to send an equalization signal to aparticular node 11 to connect or disconnect thatbattery 5 to theequalization bus 8 which carries a charging voltage compatible with a single battery. Equalization power supply 7 is controlled by BMS 3 and may be supplied with AC power or with DC power which may be derived from the battery pack 1 terminal voltage. It is connected to asingle battery 5 at a time depending on battery condition as determined by BMS 3 based on information from thecorresponding measurement node 11 and the recent historical data on a battery. The connection is viarelay 36 as shown inFIG. 2 . Here measurement andequalization node 11 is depicted as having ameasurement section 30 which accepts temperature readings fromprobe 14 and voltage readings fromvoltage sense lines 40 and 41 which are connected to battery leads 12 and 13 leading tobattery 5terminals Node 11 also has anequalization section 31 which controls relay 36 with operatingcoil 37 and normallyopen contacts 38. A solid-state relay or other semiconductor switching devices such as MOSFET's can substitute forelectromechanical relay 36 depicted. Whenrelay 36 is energized, equalization current can flow frombus 8 tobattery 5terminals - In
FIG. 3 , power line carrier (PLC) communications has been substituted for isolatedcommunications network line 27 ofFIG. 1 linking BMS 3 withbulk charger 20. Here,battery charger 55 with AC orDC power source 56 is connected viacharger cables conductor connector 50, andbattery cables batteries 42 withinbattery pack 40. Also withinbattery pack 40 isBMS 44. In this figure, the details of measurement nodes and equalization (if present) are not shown. In fact, PLC communications is advantageous regardless of the incorporation of the equalization subsystem as described above. Note thatBMS 44 has twoPLC connections battery cables - In
FIG. 4 , there is more communications detail regarding use of PLC.Battery charger 55 is shown as apower section 64 and acontrol section 65 which containsPLC modem 61 withPLC transceiver chip 62 within. Similarly,battery pack 40 is shown as abattery compartment 42 withBMS 44 as a separate compartment. The middle section can be occupied by the items not detailed such as measurement nodes and equalization subsystem, if included. Note thatBMS 44 has anidentical PLC modem 61 withPLC transceiver chip 62.Chip 62 is manufactured by a variety of vendors for PLC communications, one example is the Echelon Corporation. The purpose of the PLC modem is to provide an interface between the data sections inBMS 44 or batterycharger control section 65 and thechip transceivers 62 which actually modulate the data to be transferred back and forth over the power and battery cables throughconnector 50. Inbattery pack 40,isolated communications line 60 denotes the line that communicates with the various measurement nodes amongbatteries 42,lines charger 55,lines - In the foregoing description, certain terms and visual depictions are used to illustrate the preferred embodiment. However, no unnecessary limitations are to be construed by the terms used or illustrations depicted, beyond what is shown in the prior art, since the terms and illustrations are exemplary only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present invention.
