[0036] Energy storage technology is a crucial component of smart grids and one of their supporting technologies. Numerous battery cells form a battery module, multiple battery modules form a battery cluster, multiple battery clusters form a battery stack, and at least one battery stack ultimately forms the entire energy storage system. The battery cell is the fundamental unit of an energy storage system. Temperature differences within the battery cells significantly impact system lifespan, SOH, and system balance. To minimize these temperature differences and extend system lifespan, the temperature differences between different battery cells within the energy storage system must be controlled within a reasonable range. While air cooling can be used for heat dissipation, the instability of airflow can easily lead to large temperature differences within the system, impacting system lifespan. Furthermore, air cooling's convective heat transfer efficiency is relatively low, making it unsuitable for the heat dissipation requirements of high-energy-density, high-rate systems. Furthermore, the module fan speed in air-cooled systems exhibits step-wise fluctuations, resulting in high system noise and high self-consumption. Therefore, a liquid cooling system is typically used to control the flow distribution of each unit in the pipeline of the energy storage system, thereby controlling the system temperature difference. However, in related technologies, the flow distribution control effect of the liquid cooling system is poor, which leads to poor system lifespan and stability. Based on this, the embodiments of the present application propose an energy storage system, a heat dissipation control method, an apparatus, and a storage medium, which can improve the uniformity of the flow distribution in the energy storage system, thereby improving the system lifespan and stability.
[0037] According to an embodiment of the present application, an energy storage system is proposed, referring to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the energy storage system includes:
[0038] A battery cluster 100 , wherein the battery cluster 100 is provided in plurality and arranged in at least one row;
[0039] The first-level heat dissipation pipeline is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the number of rows of the battery cluster 100, and includes a first-level water supply pipeline 210 and a first-level water return pipeline 220;
[0040] Secondary heat dissipation pipelines, multiple secondary heat dissipation pipelines are provided and are arranged one-to-one in the battery cluster 100; the secondary heat dissipation pipelines include a secondary water supply pipeline 230 connected to the primary water supply pipeline 210, and a secondary water return pipeline 240 connected to the primary water return pipeline 220;
[0041] A plurality of three-stage heat dissipation pipes are provided and correspond one-to-one with the multiple battery modules 110 in the battery cluster 100. The water inlet of the three-stage heat dissipation pipe is connected to the corresponding secondary water supply pipe 230, and the water outlet of the three-stage heat dissipation pipe is connected to the secondary water return pipe 240;
[0042] The control module is used to balance the cooling medium flow output by each secondary water supply pipeline 230 on the same primary heat dissipation pipeline.
[0043] Therefore, by designing the primary, secondary, and tertiary heat dissipation pipelines, the cooling medium of the battery clusters 100 in the same row is all gathered in the primary heat dissipation pipeline, and is respectively distributed to each battery module 110 by the secondary and tertiary heat dissipation pipelines. Then, the cooling medium flow rate of each secondary heat dissipation pipeline can be automatically controlled by the control module, so that the cooling medium flow rate entering each row of battery clusters 100 is in a balanced state, realizing row and graded management, improving the uniformity of cooling medium distribution in the energy storage system, and thereby improving the system life and stability.
[0044] It should be noted that when multiple rows of battery clusters 100 are provided, multiple primary, secondary, and tertiary cooling pipes are provided. The cooling medium enters the primary water supply pipe 210 and enters each battery cluster 100 through the secondary water supply pipe 230. The cooling medium is then diverted through the secondary water supply pipe 230 to flow to each connected tertiary cooling pipe. Each tertiary cooling pipe then exchanges heat with the corresponding battery module 110. After heat exchange, the cooling medium exits the tertiary cooling pipe and converges through the secondary return pipe 240 to the primary return pipe 220 for output. In this manner, the cooling medium achieves a single inlet and a single outlet.
[0045] It should be noted that the cooling medium adopts a volume ratio of 50% water + 50% ethylene glycol, which can effectively play an antifreeze role in low temperature environments.
[0046] It should be noted that the three-stage heat dissipation pipeline is a liquid cooling plate channel provided at the bottom of the battery module 110. This embodiment of the present application does not impose any limitation on this.
[0047] It should be noted that when the difference in inlet flow rate of each battery cluster 100 can be controlled within a certain range, the temperature difference between the system battery clusters 100 can be effectively reduced, thereby being able to control the temperature difference of the entire system battery cells within the allowable range; at this time, it can be considered that the cooling medium flow rate at the inlet of each secondary heat dissipation pipeline on the same primary heat dissipation pipeline is in a balanced state.
[0048] It should be noted that a solenoid valve 260 can be set at the water inlet of the secondary water supply pipeline 230 of each secondary heat dissipation pipeline (i.e., the connection with the primary water supply pipeline 210) to control the flow rate, and a flow meter 250 is designed to perform flow statistics at the water inlet. The control module communicates with the flow meter 250 and the solenoid valve 260 to realize remote automatic control. The flow meter 250 can periodically feedback the changes in flow rate, and can also notify the control module for control when the flow rate changes.
[0049] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of secondary heat dissipation pipelines corresponding to each primary heat dissipation pipeline. Preferably, for the embodiment of the present application, one primary heat dissipation pipeline can correspond to 1 to 4 secondary heat dissipation pipelines.
[0050] It is understandable that referring to Figure 2 As shown, a flow meter 250 and a solenoid valve 260 are provided at the water inlet of each secondary water supply pipeline 230 or the water outlet of each secondary water return pipeline 240. The control module is used to:
[0051] In response to the cooling medium flow rate counted by each flow meter 250;
[0052] Calculate in real time the flow rate difference between the maximum cooling medium flow rate and the minimum cooling medium flow rate outputted from the plurality of secondary water supply pipelines 230 on the same primary water supply pipeline 210;
[0053] According to the flow rate difference, the solenoid valve 260 corresponding to the minimum cooling medium flow rate is continuously adjusted until the cooling medium flows output by the multiple secondary water supply pipelines 230 on the same primary water supply pipeline 210 are in a balanced state.
[0054] It should be noted that the flow meter 250 and the solenoid valve 260 can be set separately, one at the water inlet and the other at the water outlet, or they can be set together at the water inlet or the water outlet to count the water inlet and control the cooling medium flow at the water inlet. In this regard, the embodiments of the present application are not limited. Taking the example of the flow meter 250 and the solenoid valve 260 both being set on the secondary water supply pipeline 230, according to the flow difference, the solenoid valve 260 of the secondary water supply pipeline 230 corresponding to the minimum cooling medium flow is continuously adjusted, so that the cooling medium flow diverted to the secondary water supply pipeline 230 on each branch on the same primary water supply pipeline 210 can be adjusted.
[0055] It should be noted that when the flow rate of the cooling medium counted by the flow meter 250 changes, the flow rate difference needs to be recalculated. Continuous adjustment is performed by sending a PWM signal through the control module for continuous control.
[0056] To be clarified, Figure 2 The arrows shown indicate the flow of the cooling medium.
[0057] It is understandable that referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the battery clusters 100 are arranged in two rows, and the energy storage system further includes a water cooling unit having two groups of inlet and outlet interfaces, each group of inlet and outlet interfaces correspondingly connected to a primary heat dissipation pipeline.
[0058] For example, refer to Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the chiller 300 is provided with two inlet and outlet interfaces, each of which includes a medium water supply port 310 and a medium return water port 320, the medium return water port 320 is connected to the primary return water pipeline 220, and the medium water supply port 310 is connected to the primary water supply pipeline 210, thereby realizing single inlet and single outlet of the cooling medium.
[0059] For example, refer to Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the system is arranged in a container, and key equipment such as a fire protection system 400 and a system power distribution cabinet 500 are also integrated into the container.
[0060] According to an embodiment of the present application, a heat dissipation control method for an energy storage system is also proposed. The heat dissipation control method applies the above energy storage system, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the heat dissipation control method includes:
[0061] Step S100: Obtain the cooling medium flow rate output by each secondary water supply pipeline 230 on the same primary heat dissipation pipeline.
[0062] Step S200: Balancing the cooling medium flows outputted by the corresponding multiple secondary water supply pipelines 230 according to the sizes of the multiple cooling medium flows.
[0063] It is understandable that step S200, balancing the cooling medium flow output by the corresponding multiple secondary water supply pipelines 230 according to the sizes of the multiple cooling medium flow rates, includes: obtaining the cooling medium flow rate counted by each flow meter 250 in real time; calculating the flow difference between the maximum cooling medium flow rate and the minimum cooling medium flow rate output by the multiple secondary water supply pipelines 230 on the same primary water supply pipeline 210; and continuously adjusting the solenoid valve 260 corresponding to the minimum cooling medium flow rate according to the flow difference until the cooling medium flow rates output by the multiple secondary water supply pipelines 230 on the same primary water supply pipeline 210 are in a balanced state.
[0064] It can be understood that calculating the flow difference between the maximum cooling medium flow and the minimum cooling medium flow outputted from multiple secondary water supply pipelines 230 on the same primary water supply pipeline 210 includes: subtracting the maximum cooling medium flow outputted from multiple secondary water supply pipelines 230 on the same primary water supply pipeline 210 from the minimum cooling medium flow to obtain a real-time cooling medium flow difference; and dividing the cooling medium flow difference by the maximum cooling medium flow to obtain a flow difference.
[0065] For example, flow rate difference = (maximum inlet flow rate - minimum inlet flow rate) / maximum inlet flow rate * 100%. By expressing the flow rate difference as a percentage, the relative trend of the cooling medium flow rate change can be obtained, thereby improving the accuracy of the adjustment.
[0066] It is understandable that, based on the flow difference, the solenoid valve 260 of the secondary water supply pipeline 230 corresponding to the minimum cooling medium flow is continuously adjusted, including: comparing the flow difference with the preset ratio interval to determine the flow linear control function to be adjusted; the flow linear control function is used to characterize the changing trend of the flow difference; according to the flow linear control function, the solenoid valve 260 corresponding to the minimum cooling medium flow is continuously increased to balance the cooling medium flow output from multiple secondary water supply pipelines 230 on the same primary water supply pipeline 210.
[0067] For example, refer to Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, when the flow difference is between 0 and 20, the linear function f1 of the first segment is selected to determine whether the adjusted cooling medium flow matches the linear function of this segment. During control, the control module sends a PWM control signal instruction to the solenoid valve 260 in real time for control. It should be noted that during the adjustment process, if the solenoid valve 260 being adjusted is not the cooling medium with the minimum flow rate, the solenoid valve 260 with the minimum cooling medium flow rate will be re-determined for adjustment. Since it is a continuous adjustment and not a one-step adjustment, the temperature difference changes slowly during the adjustment process, thereby improving the stability of the system.
[0068] Reference Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, three ratio intervals are provided, each ratio interval corresponds to a flow linear control function, and the three flow linear control functions are connected in sequence and the corresponding slopes increase.
[0069] For example, refer to Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the three ratio intervals are [0, 20], [20, 40], and [40, 100]. As the flow rate difference ε changes, the slope of the corresponding linear flow control function increases. When ε = 0, the flow rates at all battery cluster inlets are equal, and the battery valve opening and closing degrees do not need to change. When ε = ε1, the battery valve at the minimum battery cluster inlet flow rate increases by 20%. When ε = ε2, the battery valve at the minimum battery cluster inlet flow rate increases by 40%. When ε = ε3, the battery valve at the minimum battery cluster inlet flow rate increases by 100%.
[0070] Define the differences in flow distribution at the inlets of different battery clusters ε1, ε2, and ε3. When the flow distribution difference is large, the opening and closing degree of the battery valve corresponding to the battery cluster with the minimum flow rate also increases accordingly to balance the distribution of the flow uniformity at the inlets of each battery cluster.
[0071] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the slope and specific expression of each flow linear control function. Those skilled in the art can obtain the specific expression of the flow linear control function through experiments based on the embodiments of the present application.
[0072] It is understandable that the present application also provides an electronic device, comprising at least one processor, and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor so that when the at least one processor executes the instructions, a heat dissipation control method of an energy storage system as described above is implemented.
