Abstract
Severe thermal runaway is induced in the majority by short-circuit faults inside battery packs in vehicular applications. In this paper, the challenging issue of interpretable soft short-circuit fault diagnosis for lithium-ion battery packs is investigated comprehensively. By using the streaming differential matrices from improved virtual voltage measurement, a full-dimensional statistical analysis scheme considering the random occurrence of soft short-circuit is proposed to characterize the fault signatures. On this basis, an eigenvalue decomposition-based fault detection indicator is designed, and the quantitative threshold correlation between designed fault indicator and original fault signature is derived such that the interpretable fault detection control limit self-commissioning can be achieved. Furthermore, the detected fault can be localized by evaluating the eigenvalue contributions to the designed fault detection indicator. Finally, a test platform with commercial lithium-ion phosphate cells in a compact battery pack is constructed to validate the approach. Experiments conducted with World Light Vehicle Test Cycle confirm that, milli-volt level short-circuit fault diagnosis can be achieved within minutes, and the fault detection and localization procedures are complementary such that the false alarm rate is minimized. It is robust against both the momentary and cumulative short-circuit conditions even with maximum 2 C current within almost 83% state-of-charge range.
