Against this backdrop, flow batteries, as an energy storage technology with advantages such as safety, life-cycle capacity recovery, cycle life, system integration and scalability, overload capacity, and deep discharge capability, are gradually being promoted and used in the industry.

[0003] Currently available technologies control the battery system by controlling a specific parameter for a particular performance characteristic. These control strategies are biased towards one-to-one control, rather than a comprehensive approach to controlling the entire battery system. Examples include controlling temperature to prevent electrolyte crystal deposition, monitoring the battery's state of charge (SOC) to control charging and discharging, monitoring electrolyte temperature for heat exchange control, and monitoring vanadium ion concentration for battery status monitoring.

[0004] Due to the complexity and diversity of vanadium redox flow battery systems, which involve the coupling of multiple energy forms, traditional one-to-one control strategies can no longer meet the needs of the industry.

[0063] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0064] 1. Based on the operation process and working principle of the physical model of the all-vanadium redox flow battery system, this application first establishes a power bond graph model of the all-vanadium redox flow battery system. Compared with other system dynamic analysis methods, the power bond graph model can handle systems with multiple energy forms coexisting in a unified way. At the same time, the bond graph model expressing the dynamic performance of the system has a simple structure and can intuitively reveal the interaction and energy conversion relationship between the components of the system, thus deepening the researcher's understanding of the system's dynamic structure.

[0065] 2. In the theoretical analysis of this application, the system state equation is written based on the established power bond graph model of the all-vanadium redox flow battery system. It can be transformed into the corresponding mathematical model. The mathematical model is used to describe and verify whether the established power bond graph model has practical significance. After the parameters in the mathematical model are confirmed, the output performance of the system can be controlled and optimized.

[0066] 3. This application obtains the corresponding parameter values ​​in the bond graph model through experimental data and bond graph theory, thus obtaining accurate output performance; and the influence on the output can be studied by changing the values ​​of different parameters.

[0067] 4. In this application, different vanadium redox flow battery systems can correspond to the same power bond graph model. The only difference is the parameter values ​​in the model. When conducting in-depth research, the specific operating parameters of the vanadium redox flow battery system can be controlled by changing a specific influencing factor, thereby achieving macroscopic control of the operating parameters of the vanadium redox flow battery system.

[0073] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0074] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first aspect of this invention provides a method for controlling the operating parameters of an all-vanadium redox flow battery system, comprising the following steps:

[0075] Step 1: Construct a hybrid model corresponding to the actual vanadium redox flow battery system, so as to construct a power bond graph model of the vanadium redox flow battery system based on the hybrid model.

[0076] Specifically, this hybrid model is used to represent the specific system configuration of a real vanadium redox flow battery system, that is, to digitize the actual vanadium redox flow battery system data to serve as the basis for subsequent data processing; such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A specific example of a power bond graph model is shown, which includes: a flow source, representing external input to the system; a converter, including a pump and a fuel cell stack; resistive elements, including a pump, valves, piping, the fuel cell stack, and testing instruments; capacitive elements, including an electrolyte tank and a heat exchanger; and inertial elements, including the fuel cell stack. The fuel cell stack's inlet is connected to the pump via a heat exchanger, and its outlet is connected to the pump via an electrolyte tank. Piping connects the converter, resistive elements, capacitive elements, and inertial elements together, excluding itself.

[0077] In some specific examples, the flow source includes the power to drive the pump and the energy input of the heat exchange medium in the heat exchanger; the pump is both a converter, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the electrolyte circulation, and a resistive element, which has its own energy loss; one end of the pump is connected to the electrolyte tank and the other end to the heat exchanger; the electrolyte tank, as a capacitive element, is used to store energy; one end of the electrolyte tank is connected to the pump and the other end to the fuel cell outlet; the valve, as a resistive element, has energy loss during operation; the valve is installed in the pipeline to control the electrolyte operating flow rate and pressure, as well as protection measures. The heat exchanger, as a capacitive element, is where the temperature of the reacted electrolyte is controlled while a portion remains. One end of the heat exchanger is connected to the pump, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the fuel cell stack. The piping, as a resistive element, has energy losses and connects the other components of the system as a whole. The fuel cell stack is both a converter, converting chemical energy into electrical energy and outputting it, and a resistive element, which has energy losses when the temperature changes. Its inlet is connected to the heat exchanger, and its outlet is connected to the inlet of the electrolyte tank. The temperature measuring instrument is a resistive element, and here it is classified with the valve, and it has energy consumption.

[0078] It should be noted that the relevant theory of bond graphs is as follows: Based on the fundamental principle of energy conservation, a system is represented by a set of basic components connected in a specific way using prescribed symbols; this is called a system bond graph. A bond graph is a unified and intuitive graphical representation of the system's dynamic performance. The basic components that constitute it are called bond primitives, and the lines connecting bond primitives represent the flow of power, called bonds. A bond connects two bond primitives. No energy flows at the unbonded openings, but the bonds are used to transfer power. This type of power-transferring bond is called a power bond. There is another type of bond that connects two bond primitives, but it does not transfer power; it only transmits signals. Therefore, this type of bond is called a signal bond. A power bond has a half-arrow symbol at one end, while a signal bond has a full arrow symbol. The connection between bond primitives connected by a bond is called a bonding. When bond primitives are bonded, there is no energy loss at the bond during the transfer of energy from one bond primitive to another.

[0079] Bond graph theory unifies various physical parameters into four generalized variables: potential variables, current variables, generalized momentum, and generalized displacement. The scalar product of the potential variable e(t) and the current variable f(t) is called power P(t), hence the potential variable and current variable are also called power variables. Generalized momentum p(t) is defined as the time integral of the potential variable, and generalized displacement q(t) is defined as the time integral of the current variable; therefore, generalized momentum and generalized displacement are energy variables. Different systems, such as mechanical systems, electrical systems, and hydraulic systems, each have corresponding generalized variables. Thus, bond graphs can represent different types of systems using the same type of variable.

[0080] The basic bond graph primitives in bond graph theory include resistive element R (describing the power loss of the system), capacitive element C (describing the physical effects of potential and generalized displacement), inertial element I (describing the physical effects of flux and generalized momentum), potential source Se (describing the effect of the environment on the system potential), current source Sf (describing the effect of the environment on the system current), converter TF (a component describing the energy conversion of the system), common potential junction (0-junction, used to connect potential variables with the same energy form and equal value in the relevant physical effects of the system), and common current junction (1-junction, used to connect flux variables with the same energy form and equal value in the relevant physical effects or components of the system).

[0081] Step 2: Based on the bond graph theory analysis, the system state equation for evaluating the output performance of the all-vanadium redox flow battery system is obtained according to the power bond graph model. The system state equation is used to verify the effectiveness of the power bond graph model.

[0082] Specifically, the system state equation can be written based on the power bond graph and processed by converting it into a mathematical model. This data model can describe and verify whether the established power bond graph model has practical significance. By inputting relevant parameters and performing calculations, it can be determined whether the power bond graph model has practical significance. If it is determined to be meaningful, it means that the power bond graph model is effective. Once the parameters in the mathematical model are finally confirmed, the output performance of the system can be controlled and optimized.

[0083] It should be noted that different vanadium redox flow battery systems correspond to the same power bond graph model. The only difference is that the parameter values ​​in the model are different. When conducting in-depth research, the specific operating parameters of the vanadium redox flow battery system can be controlled by changing a specific influencing factor, thereby achieving macroscopic control of the operating parameters of the vanadium redox flow battery system.

[0084] The process of obtaining the system state equation for evaluating the output performance of the vanadium redox flow battery system based on the power bond graph theory analysis includes the following steps:

[0085] Let the system variable X = [q5 q9 p15] T Input variable U = [Sf1 f17] T ,

[0086] The characteristic equations for each energy storage element are as follows:

[0100] f(t) represents the stream variable;

[0101] p(t) represents the power variable, which is equal to the scalar product of the potential variable and the current variable;

[0102] R(t) represents each resistive element, which includes pumps, valves, fuel cells, pipelines, and temperature testing instruments.

[0103] C(t) represents the energy storage element, which includes an electrolyte tank, a heat exchanger, and a fuel cell stack.

[0104] Where R3 is the energy loss of the pump, C5 is the energy change of the electrolyte in the electrolyte tank during outflow and inflow, R7 is the energy loss of valves and various instruments in the system, C9 is the energy change of the heat exchanger during temperature control, R11 is the energy loss of the pipeline in the system, R14 is the energy loss in the fuel cell stack, and I15 is the output electrical energy.

[0105] Step 3: Transform the verified power bond graph model into the corresponding block graph model. The block graph model is a representation of the system schematic diagram, which can be converted into the mathematical model of the system through methods such as Laplace transform for further theoretical analysis and calculation.

[0106] Step 4: Combining the block diagram model and the actual operating conditions of the system, establish a dynamic simulation model of the all-vanadium redox flow battery system. This dynamic simulation model is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0107] Step 5: Obtain the corresponding parameter values ​​in the bond graph model by using the experimental data obtained from the dynamic simulation model and the bond graph theory, so as to obtain accurate output performance.

[0108] Step 6: Change the values ​​of different parameters to obtain the changes in output performance, and determine the correlation between the values ​​of different parameters and output performance based on the changes, so as to control the adjustment of operating parameters; specifically, this step is used to determine the optimal parameters of the mathematical model in step 2, so as to control and optimize the output performance of the system.

[0109] Example 2: A second aspect of this invention provides a control system for a vanadium redox flow battery, comprising: a first model building unit for building a hybrid model corresponding to an actual vanadium redox flow battery system, used to build a power bond graph model of the vanadium redox flow battery system based on the hybrid model; a model conversion unit for analyzing the system state equation obtained from the power bond graph model based on bond graph theory, used to evaluate the output performance of the vanadium redox flow battery system, the system state equation being used to verify the effectiveness of the power bond graph model; a second model building unit for converting the verified effective power bond graph model into a corresponding block graph model, and establishing a dynamic simulation model of the vanadium redox flow battery system by combining the block graph model and the actual operating conditions of the system; a data processing unit for obtaining the corresponding parameter values ​​in the bond graph model through experimental data obtained from the dynamic simulation model and bond graph theory, so as to obtain accurate output performance; and a control feedback unit for changing the values ​​of different parameters to obtain the changes in output performance, and determining the correlation between the values ​​of different parameters and output performance based on the changes, so as to control the adjustment of operating parameters.

[0110] The hybrid model can be derived from the all-vanadium redox flow battery system, including:

[0111] Control components, including elements that control the start and stop of pumps, valves, and heat exchangers;

[0112] Hydraulic components, including pumps, valves, heat exchangers, pipelines, etc. in the system;

[0113] The fuel cell stack unit releases voltage and forms an electrolyte circulation circuit with the electrolyte tank via pumps, valves, and heat exchangers.

[0120] Pressure and flow signals transmitted through pipelines;

[0121] Pressure and flow signals transmitted by the fuel cell stack;

[0122] The voltage signal transmitted by the fuel cell stack; after receiving the signals transmitted by each unit, the electronic control component obtains the corresponding parameter values, and then changes the energy loss of each unit in the control system by changing the values ​​of different parameters, and finally obtains the changed parameter values.

[0123] This invention establishes a power bond graph model of a vanadium redox flow battery system based on its physical model, working principle, and operation process. Compared with other system dynamics analysis methods, the power bond graph model can handle systems with multiple energy states in a unified way. Furthermore, the bond graph model, which expresses the dynamic performance of the system, has a simple structure and can intuitively reveal the interactions and energy conversion relationships between the components of the system. By obtaining the corresponding parameter values ​​in the bond graph model through experimental data and bond graph theory, accurate output performance can be obtained. The impact of changing different parameter values ​​on the output can be studied. Different vanadium redox flow battery systems can correspond to the same power bond graph model; the only difference is the parameter values ​​in the model. In in-depth research, by changing a specific influencing factor, the operating parameters of the specific vanadium redox flow battery system can be controlled, thereby achieving macroscopic control of the operating parameters of the vanadium redox flow battery system.
