Once communication is started on channel 1, communication can be continued on channel 1 until the communication ends or the time slot # 3 ends. For this reason, when the transmission data is long, it is possible to communicate on channel 1 across # 3-2 and # 3-3.
- Time slot # 4 is a time allocated to the response of the storage battery module M2.
- different frequencies are assigned such that # 4-1 is channel 1, # 4-2 is channel 2, and # 4-3 is channel 3. Since the storage battery module M2 receives the measurement instruction on the channel 1, it starts returning a response in # 4-1.
- Time slot # 5 is a time assigned to the response of storage battery module M3, and a response frequency is assigned to each subslot as in # 3 and # 4.
- the storage battery module M 3 has failed to receive the measurement instruction on channel 1 and channel 2, and has received the measurement instruction on channel 3.
- the storage battery module M3 determines that the radio wave propagation characteristics with the management device Ma have deteriorated in the channel 1 and channel 2, and starts returning a response from the subslot # 5-3 in the channel 3. By repeating this operation, the management device Ma can collect the measured information every period.
- FIG. 19 shows an example in which time division multiplex communication is performed between the management device 120 (Ma) and the three storage battery modules 110-1 to 110-3 (M1 to M3) in the assembled battery system according to the sixth embodiment.
- FIG. 19 shows a method of performing communication with each storage battery module by polling without using broadcast.
- time slot # 1 the battery information of each of the storage battery modules M1 to M3 is measured.
- time slots # 2 to # 4 measurement instructions and responses are made for each storage battery module.
- the communication frequency is fixed to channel 1.
- management device Ma transmits a measurement instruction to storage battery module M1. Receiving the measurement instruction, the storage battery module M1 returns data measured in the same time slot # 2.
- time slot # 3 management device Ma and storage battery module M2 communicate, and in time slot # 4, management device Ma and storage battery module M3 communicate.
- time slot # 4 when communication with the storage battery module M3 fails, the storage battery module M3 does not return a response to the management device Ma.
- the management device Ma determines that the communication has failed and performs retransmission in time slots # 5 and # 6. Similarly, when the storage battery module M3 receives the measurement instruction and returns a response, and the management device Ma fails to receive, the retransmission processing is performed in the same manner.
- the management device Ma determines that the radio wave propagation characteristics of the channel 1 have deteriorated in the communication with the storage battery module M3, and the time slot # 5 Change the communication channel and perform retransmission.
- the storage battery module M3 that has received the measurement instruction in the time slot # 5 returns a response in the same time slot # 5.
- the channel 3 is further changed to perform retransmission processing.
- responses are received from all the storage battery modules, communication is not performed in the remaining retransmission slots.
- FIG. 20 shows an example in which time division multiplex communication is performed between the management apparatus 120 (Ma) and the three storage battery modules 110-1 to 110-3 (M1 to M3) in the assembled battery system according to the seventh embodiment.
- FIG. The same parts as those in FIG. 19 are denoted by the same reference numerals.
- the present embodiment is a method for performing communication with each storage battery module by polling, and has a different retransmission method. Similar to the sixth embodiment, when communication with the storage battery module M3 fails in the time slot # 4, the management device Ma has a deteriorated radio wave propagation characteristic of the channel 1 in communication with the storage battery module M3. In time slot # 5, the communication path is changed and retransmission is performed. For example, in the time slot # 5, the management device Ma transmits a measurement instruction to the storage battery module M3 to the storage battery module M2.
- the storage battery module M2 that has received the measurement instruction to the storage battery module M3 serves as a relay between the management device Ma and the storage battery module M3, and transfers the measurement instruction to the storage battery module M3.
- the storage battery module M3 that receives the measurement instruction from the storage battery module M2 returns a response to the storage battery module M2, and the storage battery module M2 that receives the response from the storage battery module M3 sends the data of the storage battery module M3 to the management device Ma. Forward.
- a measurement instruction is transmitted to all the storage battery modules without changing the channel, and the management device Ma can collect the storage battery information periodically. Note that the time slot for retransmission does not need to be the same time as other time slots, and the time for retransmission can be arbitrarily set in advance.
- FIG. 21 is a control sequence diagram showing communication control between the management apparatus 120 of the assembled battery system and each of the storage battery modules 110-1 and 110-2 according to the eighth embodiment.
- FIG. 21 shows an operation example during TDMA control.

- the storage battery module 110-2 may either respond in advance at the communication frequency f2 or may respond at the communication frequency f2 when it cannot be received at the communication frequency f1.
- the management device 120 can receive any of the communication frequencies f1 and f2 by switching the reception frequency at regular intervals.
- FIG. 21b As shown in FIG. 4, since the management device 120 has learned that communication can be performed only with f1 and f2, when the next broadcast transmission is performed by dividing the time with a plurality of frequencies, the time T1, the frequency f1, f2 Time division transmission is performed only at T2.

- Figure 22a As shown in FIG. 6, when the radio wave propagation characteristics of the communication channel used by the storage battery module 110-2 are deteriorated, the broadcast from the management device 120 cannot be received, and therefore the measurement process cannot be performed. Since there is no measurement instruction, no response is returned to the management apparatus 120.
- the bandwidth is adaptively expanded within the allocated frequency channel to avoid a drop. That is, if communication is not possible, a configuration for increasing the diffusion amount is adopted. However, hardware support is required to adopt this configuration.
- Figure 22b As shown in FIG. 22, when there is no response from the storage battery module 110-2 or the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) value is weak, the management device 120 determines that communication is impossible in the bandwidth W1, and FIG. .

Description
(第1の実施形態)
図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る組電池システムを複数並べた蓄電池システムの構成を示す図である。本実施形態の蓄電池システムは、複数の電池セルの監視制御と管理を無線信号により行う組電池システムに適用した例である。
図1に示すように、蓄電池システム10は、複数配置した組電池システム100-1~100-nと、組電池システム100-1~100-n全体を管理する蓄電池システムコントローラ20と、を備えて構成される。組電池システム100-1~100-nは、同一構成であるため、組電池システム100-3を代表して示す。なお、以下の説明において、組電池システム100-1~100-nを特に区別しない場合には、組電池システム100と記す。
組電池システム100は、金属筐体101からなる電池ラックに収容される。金属筐体101の前面には、金属製の扉102と、扉102を開閉するための取手103が設けられ、必要に応じて内部の蓄電池モジュール110を点検、交換可能な構造となっている。扉102には、メッシュ状の穴102aが設けられ金属筐体内を冷却するための空気を取り込むことができる。メッシュ状の穴102aの長辺は、金属筐体101内部の無線通信の電波の波長の半分よりも短いものとする。金属筐体101が一つの組電池システム100の筺体を構成する。管理装置120も同様に、金属筐体21に収容され、金属筐体21の前面に金属製の扉22と、扉22を開閉するための取手33が設けられる。扉22には、メッシュ状の穴22aが設けられる。
組電池システム100は、金属筐体101で覆われており、外部に無線通信信号が漏れず、外部の他システムの無線通信信号の干渉を受けないため、良好な通信品質が得られる。なお、金属筐体101を構成する導体は波長よりも十分小さい格子を持つメッシュ状でもよい。
金属筐体101内部で無線通信を行う組電池システム100を複数並べて蓄電池システム10を構成する場合、組電池システム100同士の無線電波が干渉しないようにする必要がある。
図2に示すように、各蓄電池モジュール110は、ガイド112によって空冷及び絶縁のための間隔を設けた状態で金属製の小ケース111に固定される。小ケース111は、各蓄電池モジュール110を整列配置し、背面に電極端子113と、空冷用のファン114とを備える。蓄電池モジュール110の電極端子110aと小ケース111背面の電極端子113とは、1:1で対応し、電極端子113の接続方法を変えることで各蓄電池モジュール110の直列/並列の構成を変更することができる。なお、放熱のために空冷用のファン114を設けている。因みに、金属ケースは、熱伝導が良く、電池の温度コントロールをし易い一方、電波を反射や遮蔽する特徴を有する。
なお、各蓄電池モジュール110、小ケース111、及び組電池システム100-1~100-n等の配置・設置数・形状は一例であり、どのような構成でもよい。
図3は、上記蓄電池モジュール110の構成を示す図である。図4は、上記各蓄電池モジュール110を備える組電池システム100の構成を示す図である。
図3及び図4に示すように、蓄電池モジュール110は、直列に接続された二次電池115、セル監視部116、制御部117、通信部118、及びアンテナ119を備える。図3及び図4では、二次電池115にセル監視部116(電池監視部)、制御部117、通信部118及びアンテナ119を接続し、これらを一つの蓄電池モジュール110としている。
アンテナ119は、棒状、コイル状、板状、又はプリント回路基板の導線パターンで形成したものでもよい。
管理装置120(図4参照)は、蓄電池モジュール110側管理装置である制御部117と、金属筐体101内において相互に無線通信して、それぞれの蓄電池モジュールを管理する。管理装置120は、それぞれの制御部117(蓄電池モジュール側管理装置)に対し、次の計測タイミングを指定する情報を含む計測指示を所定の間隔で送信し、セル監視部116に対して、前記計測指示に従って、それぞれの前記蓄電池モジュール110間において一斉に蓄電池の電池状態を計測させるように制御する。
管理装置120は、管理ユニット122、及びアンテナ123を備える。管理ユニット122は、蓄電池モジュール110の制御部117及び通信部118と同様の制御部及び通信部(図示略)を備える。但し、管理ユニット122の制御部の制御プログラムは異なる。各蓄電池モジュール110及び管理装置120は、金属筐体101(図1参照)の内部に納められ、一つの組電池システム100を構成する。
蓄電池モジュール110は、アンテナ119,123を介して管理装置120と通信を行い、電池情報の伝達を行う。管理ユニット122は、異常を検出した場合、スイッチ124により電源線を遮断可能である。
管理装置120は、各蓄電池モジュール110の電池情報を収集し、組電池システム100として所望の機能を果たすように各蓄電池モジュール110を監視制御する。具体的には、管理装置120は、二次電池115のセル電圧や温度などの情報を収集し、適切な電圧や温度で二次電池115が使用されているかを監視するとともに、二次電池115の残存電荷量(セル電圧)のばらつき小さくなるように制御する。これらの監視制御は周期的に行ったり、特定の条件に合致した場合に、外部システムからの要求や外部システムから提供される情報に基づいて行う。電池情報は、例えば、二次電池115のセル電圧や温度、内部抵抗値、残存電荷量、充放電状況、ID、不具合の有無、劣化度合いなどに関する情報である。
図5は、電池性能と電池情報収集周期の関係を説明する図である。
電池情報の収集周期は、電池セルの定格電流と容量、システムで必要なSOC(State Of Charge:電池充電率)の検出精度によって変わる。
図5に示すように、例えば容量10Ah,出力20Aの二次電池115でSOCを0.1%精度で検出しようとすると、全ての蓄電池モジュール110から1.8秒以内に電池情報を収集する必要がある。
このように、組電池システムは、電池情報収集周期に時間的な制約があることが、一般的な無線通信システムと異なる。
まず、本発明の基本的な考え方について説明する。
[組電池システム内の電波伝搬特性]
図6は、図2(a)の蓄電池モジュール110が収容された小ケース111内において、無線通信周波数を2.4GHzから2.5GHzまで変化させたときの場所ごとの電波伝搬特性を示す図である。図6は、小ケース111内の各蓄電池モジュール110の間の奥行きx=24cmの位置での電波伝搬特性を抽出したもの示す。なお、2.4GHz帯は、ZigBee(登録商標)、Bluetooth(登録商標)で利用可能な周波数帯である。
また、組電池システム内のマルチパスによる電波伝搬特性の劣化に加えて、電池ラック(組電池システム100)を並べたときに互いの干渉が問題となる場合がある。本発明者らの実験等によると、電池ラックを並べたときの電波漏洩を計測した場合、電池ラックによる減衰は、5dB/ラック程度となり、大きな電波漏洩が生じていた。但し、評価に用いた電池ラックは、無線用に最適化されたものではないため、ケーブル用のスリットや通気用の穴が設けられている。
上記組電池システム内の電波伝搬特性の劣化、及び組電池システム間の電波漏洩による干渉についてより詳細に説明する。
特に、各蓄電池モジュール110の状態を同時計測しようとするとき、管理装置120がある周波数で全ての蓄電池モジュールに一斉に計測指示を出そうとブロードキャストを行った場合、当該周波数において電波伝搬特性が劣化している蓄電池モジュールに計測指示が伝達されないという課題が生じる。
(1)CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance)
このCSMA/CAは、無線端末が送信前に通信路の状態をセンシングすることで他システムとの干渉を回避する技術である。しかしながら、干渉が多くなると通信できない無線端末が増えるため、遅延が増加するという不具合が考えられる。組電池システムは、電池情報収集周期に時間的な制約があり、遅延が増加するCSMA/CAの採用は困難である。
組電池システムは、移動体等と異なり時間が経過しても伝搬特性が変化しないため、落込みが激しいところでは連続して通信失敗する可能性がある。
組電池システムは、単純にホッピングさせると、図8で述べたように、他の電池システムとの干渉が発生する可能性がある。
そこで、本発明者らは、組電池システムの特徴に鑑み、マルチパス環境及び干渉が避けられず、かつ電池情報取得の同時性が要求される組電池システムにおいて、管理装置が、蓄電池モジュールに次の計測時刻を指定する情報を含む計測指示を定期的に送信し、蓄電池モジュールは、この計測時刻情報に従って前記蓄電池の状態の計測を行う、という着想を得た。具体的には、下記(A)-(C)を本発明の基本的な考え方とする。
本発明の蓄電池システムは、複数の蓄電池モジュールと、複数の蓄電池モジュールをまとめた組電池システムと、この組電池システムをまとめた蓄電池システムとが、この順に階層構造をとり、各階層間の無線通信が、時分割、周波数分割、又は拡散符号の多重アクセス制御方式のいずれかが用いられる。また、組電池システムの通信はTDMA/FDMA/CDMAのうち互いに異なる方式を採用してもよい。例えば、蓄電池モジュール間は時分割、組電池システム間は周波数分割、蓄電池システム間は拡散符号を切り替える。
管理装置は、各蓄電池モジュールに対して計測指示をブロードキャストで送信し、再送時はユニキャストで送信する。蓄電池モジュールは、計測した電池情報を個別に前記管理装置に送信する。また、管理装置は、計測指示をブロードキャストで送信し、再送時はマルチホップで送信する。さらに、組電池システム内の通信で電波強度が弱いと判断される場合、予め割り当てられた周波数の中で周波数を変更して通信を行う。
管理装置は、蓄電池モジュールからの応答を受信できなかった場合、応答を受信できた蓄電池モジュールの中から、所定の蓄電池モジュールを中継器として選択し、当該蓄電池モジュールに計測指示及び電池情報の応答を中継させる。ここで、管理装置は、SOCが高い蓄電池を有する蓄電池モジュールを選択して中継させるものでもよい。また、管理装置は、周波数を変更して通信できない場合、又は割り当てられた周波数が1つしかない場合に、応答を受信できた蓄電池モジュールに中継させるものでもよい。
本実施形態は、本発明の基本的な考え方で述べた(A)の方法を採る例である。
前記図1に示すように、組電池システム100-1~100-nを複数並べて蓄電池システム10を構成する場合、組電池システム100-1~100-n同士の無線電波が金属筐体101内部で干渉しないようにする必要がある。本実施形態は、組電池システム100間の干渉を回避する例である。
本実施形態は、組電池システム100(図1参照)を複数並べて構成した蓄電池システム10において、各組電池システム100-1~100-nの通信の通信時間、通信周波数、通信空間、又は拡散符号のうちいずれかを組電池システム100-1~100-nごとに設定する。
例えば、蓄電池モジュール110(図1参照)間が時分割、組電池システム100間が周波数分割、又は蓄電池システム10間が符号分割により無線通信を行う設定とする。
図9では、組電池システム100-1~100-3を隣接配置した蓄電池システム10-1と、組電池システム100-4~100-6を隣接配置した蓄電池システム10-2と、が並べて配置されている。すなわち、組電池システム100-1~100-3によって蓄電池システム10-1が構成され、組電池システム100-4~100-6によって蓄電池システム10-2が構成される。
図9に示すように、各組電池システム100-1~100-6内部において、管理装置120(図1参照)が組電池システム100-1~100-6を構成する各蓄電池モジュール110(図1参照)間で時分割多重通信を行う。
各組電池システム100-1~100-6には、予め利用可能な周波数が割り当てられている。例えば、組電池システム100-1は、チャネルch1,4,7が割り当てられ、組電池システム100-2は、チャネルch2,5,6が割り当てられ、組電池システム100-3は、チャネルch3,6,9が割り当てられる。ここで、隣り合う各組電池システム100-1~100-6の周波数は重ならないように設定される。また、各組電池システム100-1~100-6に複数のチャネル(ここでは、ch1,4,7など3つのチャネル)がある場合、なるべく離れたチャネルを選択して割り当てることが望ましい。
図9に示すように、蓄電池システム10-1と蓄電池システム10-2が近傍に設置され、それぞれの蓄電池システム10-1と蓄電池システム10-2とが同じ周波数を用いる場合、各組電池システム100-1~100-6でスペクトラム拡散方式を用いるとともに、蓄電池システム10-1、10-2ごとに異なる拡散符号11-1、11-2をそれぞれ割り当てる。拡散符号11-1と拡散符号11-2は、互いに相関が低い拡散符号である。例えば、拡散符号11-1がシンボル長32bit×16(1~16)のセットAを用いる場合、拡散符号11-2は、この拡散符号11-1と独立した、シンボル長32bit×16(17~32)のセットBを用いる。
図10に示すように、時間軸でみると、蓄電池モジュール間は組電池システム内で割り当てた時分割多重であり、周波数でみると、組電池システム間は組電池システムごとに割り当てた周波数分割であり、電力でみると、複数の組電池システムをまとまりごとに割り当てた拡散符号である。
第2の実施形態は、本発明の基本的な考え方で述べた(B)の方法を採る例である。
本実施形態のハード的構成は、図1乃至図4と同様であるため、同一部には原則として同一の符号を付し、その繰り返しの説明は省略する。但し、管理装置120及び蓄電池システムコントローラ20の制御部が実行する制御プログラムは、各実施形態において異なっている。
まず、ステップS1で、管理装置120は、通信周波数を設定する。
ステップS2では、管理装置120は、ブロードキャストで制御コマンドを各蓄電池モジュール100に定期送信する。制御コマンドは、セル電圧や温度、内部抵抗値、残存電荷量、充放電状況、ID、不具合の有無、劣化度合いなどに関する電池情報を計測するための計測指示である。
ステップS3では、管理装置120は、設定周波数で受信するなどの蓄電池モジュール110の応答処理を行う。
ステップS4では、管理装置120は、すべての蓄電池モジュール110から応答があるか否かを判別する。
すべての蓄電池モジュール110から応答がある場合、上記ステップS2に戻ってブロードキャストによる制御コマンドの定期送信を継続する。
すべての蓄電池モジュール110から応答がない場合、ステップS5で管理装置120は、予備周波数があり周波数変更可能か否かを判別する。
予備周波数があり周波数変更が可能な場合、ステップS6で管理装置120は、予備周波数の中から通信周波数を選択し、選択した通信周波数に変更する。通信周波数の変更は、例えば予め決められた周波数を順次使用する。この場合、次に使用する通信周波数は、なるべく離れた周波数帯の通信周波数であることが好ましい。
ステップS7では、管理装置120は、応答がなかった蓄電池モジュール110に対してユニキャストで制御コマンドを再送して上記ステップS2に戻る。
このように、本通信制御フローでは、最初の指示はブロードキャストで実施し、届かなかった蓄電池モジュールに対しては周波数を変更してユニキャストで再送する。
蓄電池モジュール110-1~110-4は、通信スロットの開始スロット(slot#1)において、管理装置120からのブロードキャストによる指示を受信する。
蓄電池モジュール110-1~110-4は、蓄電池モジュールIDの順に管理装置120に通信周波数f1で応答する。
蓄電池モジュール100-3は、f2の伝搬特性についても劣化しており、ユニキャストを受信失敗したとする。蓄電池モジュール110-3は、管理装置120からの指示を受け取っていないため、応答を返さない。
管理装置120は、再送スロット#9で蓄電池モジュール110-3からの応答を受信して、通信周波数f3で通信成功と判定する。管理装置120は、蓄電池モジュール110-3が通信周波数f3で受信可能であることをテーブルデータとして保存し次回の通信制御に使用することができる。なお、管理装置120は、再送スロット#6~#8をすべてを使っても通信エラーとなった場合、また予備周波数がない場合などは、本通信制御を終了して、後記するように別の蓄電池モジュールを中継して無線通信を行う通信制御に移行するようにしてもよい。
なお、再送スロットは、複数の蓄電池モジュール分設けてもよい。また、計測スロット#10が先頭にあり、#10,#1,#2,…,#9というフレーム構成でもよい。
計測指示の中には次の収集周期における計測開始タイミング、各タイムスロットに割り当てる通信チャネル、応答用スロットにおける各蓄電池モジュールの応答順序の情報が含まれる。例えば、タイムスロット♯2で送った計測指示により、各蓄電池モジュールM1~M3は、次の収集周期の計測タイムスロットが♯10であること、及び♯11以降の通信に用いられる通信チャネル、応答順序を認識する。
タイムスロット♯1~♯9の計測周期を終え、次の計測周期の先頭スロット♯10で各蓄電池モジュールは計測指示に従い同時に計測を行う。以降、この動作を繰り返すことで管理装置Maは、二次電池115(図3及び図4参照)の電池情報を定期的に収集することができる。
第3の実施形態は、本発明の基本的な考え方で述べた(C)の方法を採る例である。
図14は、第3の実施形態に係る組電池システムの管理装置120の通信制御を示すフローチャートである。図11と同一処理を行うステップには同一ステップ番号を付して説明を省略する。
すべての蓄電池モジュール110から応答がある場合、ステップS2に戻ってブロードキャストによる制御コマンドの定期送信を継続する。
すべての蓄電池モジュール110から応答がない場合、ステップS11で管理装置120は、応答があった蓄電池モジュール110のうち、適当な一つを中継器として選んで制御コマンドを送信する。管理装置120は、例えばSOCが高い二次電池を有する蓄電池モジュールを中継器として選択することが好ましい。
蓄電池モジュール110-1~110-4は、通信スロットの開始スロット(slot#1)において、管理装置120からのブロードキャストによる指示を受信する。
蓄電池モジュール110-1~110-4は、蓄電池モジュールIDの順に管理装置120に通信周波数f1で応答する。
蓄電池モジュール110-2は、再送スロット#9において、中継した蓄電池モジュール110-3からの応答を管理装置120に送信する。
図16では、タイムスロット♯1を、計測を実施するための時間として割り当てる。タイムスロット♯2は、計測指示の送信に用いられ、管理装置Maから全ての蓄電池モジュールM1~M3に対して計測指示をブロードキャストで送信する。
この動作を繰り返すことで周波数チャネルが1つであっても全ての蓄電池モジュールに計測指示を伝達することができる。
第4の実施形態は、第2及び第3の実施形態の再送方式を組み合わせた例である。本実施形態は、計測指示、応答用スロットの通信チャネルの切り替え機能について説明する。
図17は、第4の実施形態に係る組電池システム内における管理装置120(Ma)と3台の蓄電池モジュール110-1~110-3(M1~M3)の間で時分割多重通信を行う例を示す図である。図16と同一部分には同一番号を付している。
管理装置Maは、タイムスロット♯2においてブロードキャストによる計測指示(ブロードキャスト)を送信する。このブロードキャストを蓄電池モジュールM3のモジュールが受信できなかった場合、蓄電池モジュールM3は、予め割り当てられた応答用タイムスロット♯5で応答を返さない。管理装置Maは、本来タイムスロット♯5で応答が来るはずの蓄電池モジュールM3から応答が返ってこなかったことから、蓄電池モジュールM3との通信に失敗したと判断し、次に続く再送用スロットで、前記第3の実施形態の方法で蓄電池モジュールM3への再送を試みる。また、管理装置Maは、蓄電池モジュールM3との通信が失敗したことから、次の計測周期において通信周波数を変更する指示を出す。これはタイムスロット♯11において、チャネル1を使って計測指示をブロードキャストする際、次のタイムスロット♯20からの計測周期においてチャネル2を用いることを各蓄電池モジュールM1~M3に伝達することを意味している。通信チャネル2で各蓄電池モジュールとの通信が失敗しなければ、以降はチャネル2を使い続けることができる。
第5の実施形態は、タイムスロット内で複数の周波数を切り替えて送信、又は受信を行う方式に適用した例である。
図18は、第5の実施形態に係る組電池システム内における管理装置120(Ma)と3台の蓄電池モジュール110-1~110-3(M1~M3)の間で時分割多重通信を行う例を示す図である。図18は、タイムスロット内で複数の周波数を切り替えて送信、又は受信を行う方式である。各タイムスロットは複数のサブスロットから構成され、それぞれに周波数チャネルを割り当てて通信することができるものとする。
タイムスロット♯5は蓄電池モジュールM3の応答に割り当てられた時間であり、♯3,♯4と同様にサブスロットごとに応答用の周波数が割り当てられている。図18では、タイムスロット♯1において、蓄電池モジュールM3がチャネル1、チャネル2での計測指示の受信に失敗し、チャネル3において計測指示を受信している。蓄電池モジュールM3は、管理装置Maとの間の電波伝搬特性がチャネル1、チャネル2で劣化しているものと判断し、チャネル3のサブスロット♯5-3から応答を返し始める。この動作を繰り返すことで、管理装置Maは計測された情報を毎周期ごとに収集することができる。
第6の実施形態は、ブロードキャストを用いずに各蓄電池モジュールとの通信をポーリングで行う方式に適用した例である。
図19は、第6の実施形態に係る組電池システム内における管理装置120(Ma)と3台の蓄電池モジュール110-1~110-3(M1~M3)の間で時分割多重通信を行う例を示す図である。図19は、ブロードキャストを用いずに各蓄電池モジュールとの通信をポーリングで行う方式を示す。
第7の実施形態は、ブロードキャストを用いずに各蓄電池モジュールとの通信をポーリングで行う方式に適用した例である。
図20は、第7の実施形態に係る組電池システム内における管理装置120(Ma)と3台の蓄電池モジュール110-1~110-3(M1~M3)の間で時分割多重通信を行う例を示す図である。図19と同一部分には同一番号を付している。
第8の実施形態は、ブロードキャスト送信の応用例、及び通信帯域を拡大する例について説明する。
図21は、第8の実施形態に係る組電池システムの管理装置120と各蓄電池モジュール110-1~110-2間の通信制御を示す制御シーケンス図である。図21は、TDMA制御時の動作例を示す。
ブロードキャスト内部に計測タイミングの情報を入れておくことで、ブロードキャスト後、直ちに同時に計測が可能になる。
計測処理後、蓄電池モジュール110-1は、管理装置120に通信周波数f1で応答送信する。また、蓄電池モジュール110-2は、管理装置120に通信周波数f2で応答送信する。蓄電池モジュール110-2は、予め通信周波数f2で応答する、又は通信周波数f1で受信できなかった場合に通信周波数f2で応答する態様のどちらでもよい。ここで、管理装置120は、受信周波数を一定時間ごとに切り替えことで、通信周波数f1,f2のいずれの通信周波数でも受信可能である。
図22a.に示すように、蓄電池モジュール110-2が使用する通信チャネルの電波伝搬特性が劣化している場合、管理装置120からのブロードキャストを受信できず、従って計測処理を実施できない。計測指示がないため管理装置120に応答を返さない。
図22b.に示すように、管理装置120は、蓄電池モジュール110-2からの応答がない、又はRSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator:受信信号強度)値が弱い場合、帯域幅W1では通信不可と判断し、図22c.に示すようにチップレートを変更して拡散量増大する。これにより、帯域を広げて落ち込みを回避することが可能になる。
前記図1に示すように、金属筐体101の内部で無線通信を行う組電池システムであって、金属製の扉102と開閉用の取手103を持つ装置では、扉102の開閉を検出して組電池システム内の通信動作モードを切り替えることができる。例えば、扉102が開いたことを検出して通常の「定期収集モード」から「メンテナンスモード」へと切り替えることができる。「定期収集モード」では通常複数回通信が連続で失敗したことを検出して管理装置120が上位装置、又は金属筐体101に備え付けられたLED等を発光させることで警告を発する。扉102を開けている状態の「メンテナンスモード」ではこの警告を生じないようにする。また、扉102が開いているという情報を警告として伝達することも可能である。さらに管理装置120、前記第4の実施形態に示す周波数変更機能を有している場合、扉102が開いたことを検出したときは、周波数変更を行わないようにすることができる。これにより、扉102が開いても、扉102が閉まっている状態で学習した通信周波数を保持したままにすることができる。
また、上記した実施形態例は本発明をわかりやすく説明するために詳細に説明したものであり、必ずしも説明した全ての構成を備えるものに限定されるものではない。また、ある実施形態例の構成の一部を他の実施形態例の構成に置き換えることが可能であり、また、ある実施形態例の構成に他の実施形態例の構成を加えることも可能である。また、各実施形態例の構成の一部について、他の構成の追加・削除・置換をすることが可能である。
また、制御線や情報線は説明上必要と考えられるものを示しており、製品上必ずしもすべての制御線や情報線を示しているとは限らない。実際には殆ど全ての構成が相互に接続されていると考えてもよい。
