Energy storage containers, as an efficient and convenient energy storage solution, are widely used in power systems, industrial fields and emergency backup power supply scenarios. However, in the event of earthquakes and other natural disasters, energy storage containers may be severely damaged, affecting their normal operation and safety. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to conduct earthquake simulation analysis on energy storage containers to evaluate their response and reliability under earthquake action.

The earthquake intensity equivalent evaluation method of key components such as battery racks and the influence of mechanical parameters of battery pack boxes on system stiffness are not considered. In addition, the evaluation method for the nonlinear section of the main frame of the energy storage container is not perfect, which is difficult to meet the needs of actual engineering applications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.
[0022] As Figure 1 shown, a seismic simulation method of an energy storage container is provided for the present embodiment, and the steps are as follows: An initial three-dimensional model of the energy storage container is obtained, which includes a box structure, an energy storage device and a connecting component.
[0023] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the box structure includes a base support 6, support columns 7 erected on the base support 6, and crossbars 2 connecting adjacent support columns 7 and used as bottom support of the energy storage device.
[0024] For the initial three-dimensional model, the base support, the support column, and the connection of the crossbar are regarded as welding, the bolt connection between one side of the energy storage device and the box structure is regarded as rigid connection, and the remaining contact surface of the energy storage device and the box structure is regarded as weak rigid connection, to construct a corresponding multi-rigid body system.
[0025] More specifically, the front end of the battery pack is fixed by bolts and fixed with the bracket end 3, the tail is not fixed between the bracket tail 1, and the battery and the crossbar are bolted, so as shown in the modeling of the model, the battery pack end fixing bracket is retained and the bolt is replaced by an rbe2 rigid connection 5, and the tail of the battery pack is equivalent to an rbe3 weak rigid connection 4. Such modeling method does not increase the rigidity of the system, and the calculation result is more accurate. Figure 4
[0026] In addition, the inertia moment of the battery centroid is defined as follows: According to the momentum theorem of theoretical mechanics: And the momentum theorem: It is known that the size of the mass inertia moment represents the ability of the object to rotate, which has an impact on the system stiffness, so the equivalent calculation needs to be considered; At the same time, from the perspective of multi-body dynamics, when calculating the rotational inertia of the system, the parallel axis principle is needed to convert the rotational inertia of the battery centroid in the battery centroid to the centroid of the system, that is , m is the mass of one of the battery centroids, r is the distance from the battery centroid to the centroid of the system, and J is the rotational inertia of the Pack box itself centroid. Obviously, the value of J affects the size of the rotational inertia of the system, and the rotational inertia affects the system modal, and then affects the response of the system to vibration.
[0027] The calculation process is as follows: The mass inertia moment, also known as the moment of inertia, has the same important position as the mass, which is the second moment of mass with respect to distance in space, and has a direct impact on the system stiffness For a discrete particle system, it can be expressed as: ; Wherein, represents the weight of the i-th energy storage device, represents the linear distance from the centroid of the i-th energy storage device to the centroid of the box structure, and for a continuous body, it can be expressed as: .
[0028] Meanwhile, since earthquakes are low-frequency responses with a resonant frequency of only about 8Hz, for large energy storage systems with high tonnage, the 1-2Hz stiffness increase of the support structure can greatly help with earthquake intensity. This is because the equivalent modeling at the details directly affects the accuracy of the simulation results and is crucial for the lightweight design of the system.
[0029] In this embodiment, the SRSS method is used to perform modal analysis and summation of rigid modes on the multi-rigid-body system to generate the corresponding time-domain multi-rigid-body system seismic response spectrum. In practical operation, hierarchical modeling is employed, and the boundary conditions for its calculation are based on… Figure 5 The boundary acceleration conditions of the support structure extracted from the seismic modeling calculation are used as the input conditions for this hierarchical modeling. The acceleration loads at key locations in the seismic dynamics analysis of the system are extracted, and the equivalent anisotropic acceleration loads are converted into static analysis. Then, nonlinear analysis can be used to accurately model local key areas and accurately evaluate the strength of key components such as the support structure. In addition, in the calculation of low-cycle fatigue life, hot spot stress is often plastically corrected by the Neuber assumption and transformed into pseudo-hot spot stress. Then, the fatigue life is calculated using the low-cycle fatigue life design curve based on the pseudo-hot spot stress.
[0030] The number of natural modes is selected such that the cumulative participating mass is at least 90% of the total seismic mass; the periodic and rigid responses of all modes are summed separately and then combined as follows: ; in, This represents the physical quantity caused by excitation in the I direction. R pI express The periodic part, R rI express The rigid part.
[0031] Modal combination was performed using the SRSS method, which is suitable for container systems where the modal spacing is not tight. The SRSS method does not include any interactions between modes, i.e.: .
[0032] The seismic response spectrum of the time-domain multi-rigid-body system is converted to the corresponding seismic response spectrum of the frequency-domain multi-rigid-body system, and the equations under seismic acceleration are solved based on the seismic response spectrum of the frequency-domain multi-rigid-body system to obtain the acceleration response curves of each rigid body.
[0033] More specifically, through visual observation of the signal, the main frequency components are in the range of 3~8Hz and the duration is about 30s. Therefore, these conditions cannot be regarded as steady state. The seismic spectrum in the time domain is converted to the response spectrum curve in the frequency domain to calculate the seismic response spectrum analysis.
[0034] The equation under the single degree of freedom seismic acceleration action is: ; After moving the formula: ; Wherein, represents the seismic action value, represents the equivalent static force, represents the absolute acceleration inertial force, represents the damping, represents the ground acceleration, represents the structure relative acceleration.
[0035] Based on the results of the previous modal analysis, input the acceleration response spectrum at the corresponding frequency and the corresponding damping for seismic response spectrum analysis (two horizontal and vertical seismic components are combined using the 100 / 40 / 40 rule. As the damping value, it uses a damping of 2%.) Collect the acceleration response curve on each layer pack / key energy storage device support, and finally analyze the overall structure response of the energy storage container according to the response of each rigid body, including box deformation, connecting component stress, etc.; Synchronous key components such as battery centroid detailed equivalent modeling, input equivalent maximum acceleration response as input condition, consider contact nonlinearity / material nonlinearity and equivalent modeling influence of limiting structure, equivalent conversion to statics calculation to evaluate.
[0036] In the usual seismic response spectrum analysis calculation, due to the limitation of modal linear calculation, the linear elastic calculation result of the response output may be far beyond the actual stress value of the structure, resulting in too conservative evaluation result. Therefore, based on the low cycle fatigue life calculation process, Neuber criterion is introduced to evaluate the actual local stress and strain of the structure, and the Neuber criterion is as follows: .
[0037] The embodiment also provides an energy storage container earthquake simulation system for executing the steps of the energy storage container earthquake simulation method provided by the above-mentioned embodiment, comprising: An input unit for inputting an initial three-dimensional model of an energy storage container; An equivalent change unit for equivalently converting the input initial three-dimensional model into a multi-rigid body system; A simulation unit for performing simulation analysis according to a preset seismic action value and the converted multi-rigid body system to output a corresponding frequency domain-multi-rigid body system seismic response spectrum; An output unit for outputting the acceleration response curve of each rigid body according to the generated frequency domain-multi-rigid body system seismic response spectrum.
[0038] In order to better illustrate the technical effect of the method provided in the present application, the following calculation process takes the elastic stress result of 690.1 MPa as an example.
[0039] The elastic stress of the centroid position is calculated: .
[0040] The digital hyperbolic formula is introduced: .
[0041] The actual stress and strain of the centroid position are calculated: ; .
[0042] The above results are brought into the stress-strain curve of the material, and the intersection of the two curves is the actual stress-strain of the centroid position, so as to obtain the actual stress and strain of the centroid position: ; .
[0043] In addition, in the above calculation process, because , then to meet the requirements of seismic strength design.
