Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of modeling and simulation technology, and in particular to a thermal simulation analysis method, device, and storage medium for a liquid-cooled energy storage system. Background Art
[0002] Energy storage technology is a crucial component of smart grids and one of their supporting technologies. Numerous battery cells form battery modules, which in turn form battery clusters, which in turn form battery stacks, which ultimately form the entire liquid-cooled energy storage system. The battery cell is the fundamental unit of a liquid-cooled energy storage system. Temperature differences within a liquid-cooled energy storage system significantly impact system lifespan, SOH, and system balance. To minimize these temperature differences and extend system lifespan, the temperature differences between different cells within the system must be controlled within a reasonable range.
[0003] As liquid-cooled energy storage systems develop towards higher rates and higher energy densities, traditional air cooling is no longer sufficient to dissipate heat from the system's battery cells. High-efficiency liquid cooling is needed. Liquid cooling offers low power consumption, low noise, and excellent cell temperature uniformity. Given the high heat generation and high temperature uniformity requirements of battery cells, liquid cooling will gradually become widely used in the thermal management of liquid-cooled energy storage systems. Currently, thermal management risks for liquid-cooled energy storage systems remain largely in the testing phase.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0063] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0064] It should be noted that although the device schematics illustrate functional module divisions and the flowcharts illustrate logical sequences, in certain circumstances, the steps shown or described may be performed in a sequence that differs from the module divisions in the device or the sequence in the flowcharts. The terms "first," "second," and so on, in the specification, claims, and drawings, are used to distinguish similar items and are not necessarily used to describe a specific sequence or precedence.
[0065] Energy storage technology is a crucial component of smart grids and one of their supporting technologies. Numerous battery cells form battery modules, which in turn form battery clusters, which in turn form battery stacks, which ultimately form the entire liquid-cooled energy storage system. The battery cell is the fundamental unit of a liquid-cooled energy storage system. Temperature differences within a liquid-cooled energy storage system significantly impact system lifespan, SOH, and system balance. To minimize these temperature differences and extend system lifespan, the temperature differences between different cells within the system must be controlled within a reasonable range.
[0066] As liquid-cooled energy storage systems develop towards higher rates and higher energy densities, traditional air cooling is no longer sufficient to dissipate heat from the system's battery cells. High-efficiency liquid cooling is needed. Liquid cooling offers low power consumption, low noise, and excellent cell temperature uniformity. Given the high heat generation and high temperature uniformity requirements of battery cells, liquid cooling will gradually become widely used in the thermal management of liquid-cooled energy storage systems. Currently, thermal management risks for liquid-cooled energy storage systems remain largely in the testing phase. Since the system has already been finalized, there is little room for improvement, resulting in long temperature control testing cycles.
[0067] Based on this, the embodiments of the present invention provide a liquid-cooled energy storage system thermal simulation analysis method, device and storage medium, which provide risk point assessment for early thermal management design and reduce system revision design and project development cycle time.
[0068] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 15 Numerous battery cells 130 form a battery module, the battery modules form a battery cluster 190, the battery cluster 190 forms a battery stack, and the battery stack ultimately forms the entire liquid-cooled energy storage system.
[0069] The embodiments of the present invention are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0070] The first embodiment of the present invention specifically provides a thermal simulation analysis method for a liquid-cooled energy storage system, such as Figure 1 The thermal simulation analysis method of the liquid-cooled energy storage system according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the liquid-cooled energy storage system, and the simulation analysis method includes but is not limited to the following steps:
[0071] Step S100, establishing a liquid cooling plate simulation model according to preset battery cell data;
[0072] It should be noted that the cell data is used to characterize the performance parameters of the cell 130 and the distribution parameters of the cell 130. For example, refer to Figure 4 The preset battery cell data includes the number of battery cells 130 in the battery module and the arrangement of the battery cells 130, the inlet and outlet coolant temperature rise requirements and the maximum temperature rise requirements of the battery cells 130, and the heating parameters of the battery cells 130, wherein the heating parameters of the battery cells 130 include the material properties, thermal conductivity, density, specific heat capacity of the battery cells 130 and the heating power of the battery cells 130 obtained according to experimental test results.
[0073] Step S200, establishing a battery cluster flow simulation model based on the liquid cooling plate simulation model and preset battery cluster data;
[0074] It should be noted that the battery cluster data is used to characterize the battery module distribution parameters and battery module demand parameters in the battery cluster 190. For example, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The preset battery cluster data includes the number of battery modules in the battery cluster 190, the arrangement of the battery modules, and the battery module inlet flow requirements. In step S200, the inlet and outlet pipe diameters of the battery modules can be obtained according to the liquid cooling plate simulation model. The type and size of the battery cluster manifold 170 are obtained according to the number of battery modules in the battery cluster 190, the arrangement of the battery modules, the inlet and outlet pipe diameter data of the battery modules, and the battery module inlet flow requirements, and a battery cluster flow simulation model is established accordingly.
[0075] Step S300, establishing a battery stack flow simulation model based on the battery cluster flow simulation model and preset battery stack data;
[0076] It should be noted that the battery stack data is used to characterize the distribution parameters of the battery cluster 190 in the battery stack and the required parameters of the battery cluster 190. For example, refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13The preset battery stack data includes the number of battery clusters 190 in the battery stack, the arrangement of the battery clusters 190 and the inlet flow requirements of each battery cluster 190. In step S300, the inlet pipe diameter data of the battery cluster 190 can be obtained according to the battery cluster flow simulation model. The type and size of the battery stack collecting pipe 180 are obtained according to the number of battery clusters 190 in the battery stack, the arrangement of the battery clusters 190, the inlet pipe diameter data of the battery cluster 190 and the inlet flow requirements of each battery cluster 190, and the battery stack flow simulation model is established accordingly.
[0077] Step S400, calculating flow distribution differences at multiple pipeline inlets in the liquid-cooled energy storage system based on the battery cluster flow simulation model and the battery stack flow simulation model;
[0078] It should be noted that the flow distribution differences at multiple pipeline inlets include differences in the inlet flow distribution between battery modules within a battery cluster 190 and between battery clusters 190 within a battery stack. Flow distribution differences refer to differences in the inlet flow distribution between different battery modules and between different battery clusters 190.
[0079] Step S500, calculating a plurality of maximum temperatures corresponding to flow distribution differences based on the liquid cooling plate simulation model;
[0080] Step S600, obtaining a temperature difference fitting curve according to a plurality of flow distribution differences and a corresponding plurality of maximum temperatures;
[0081] It should be noted that the temperature difference fitting curve is used to represent the inlet flow rate difference values between different battery modules within the battery cluster 190, the inlet flow rate difference values between different battery clusters 190 within the battery stack, and the maximum temperature change value ΔT corresponding to the inlet flow rate difference values between different battery modules within the battery stack. Specifically, through steps S400 and S500, during the battery module simulation phase, it is necessary to simulate and analyze the maximum temperature corresponding to the inlet flow rates of each different pipeline inlet to obtain the maximum temperature change value ΔT corresponding to different inlet flow rate difference values α. Based on the differences in inlet flow rate distribution between different battery modules within the battery cluster 190 and the differences in inlet flow rate distribution between different battery clusters 190 within the battery stack, the differences in inlet flow rate distribution between different battery modules within the battery stack are calculated, and the temperature difference fitting curve is established accordingly.
[0082] It should be noted that, based on the battery cluster flow simulation model, the differences in the inlet flow distribution between the battery modules in the battery cluster 190 can be preliminarily determined, and the first inlet flow distribution difference data of the inlet flow distribution between the battery modules in the battery cluster 190 can be obtained by the following calculation formula:
[0083] α i1 =(Q i1 -Qi2 ) / Q i2 ,
[0084] Among them, α i1 The first inlet flow rate distribution difference data, Q, represents the inlet flow rate distribution between the battery modules in the same battery cluster 190. i1 represents the inlet flow of a battery module in the same battery cluster 190, Q i2 represents the inlet flow of another battery module in the same battery cluster 190, where Q i1 >Q i2 .
[0085] In addition, based on the battery stack flow simulation model, the difference in inlet flow distribution between the battery clusters 190 in the battery stack can be preliminarily determined, and the second inlet flow distribution difference data of the inlet flow distribution between the battery clusters 190 in the battery stack can be obtained by the following calculation formula:
[0086] α i2 =(Q i3 -Q i4 ) / Q i4 ,
[0087] Among them, α i2 The second inlet flow rate distribution difference data, Q, represents the inlet flow rate distribution between the battery clusters 190 in the battery stack. i3 Indicates the inlet flow of a battery cluster 190 in the battery stack, Q i4 Indicates the inlet flow of another battery cluster 190 in the battery stack, Q i3 >Q i4 Based on the designed first inlet flow distribution difference data of the inlet flow distribution between each battery module in the battery cluster 190 and the second inlet flow distribution difference data of the inlet flow distribution on each battery cluster 190 between the battery stacks, the third inlet flow distribution difference data corresponding to the inlet flow distribution difference between all battery modules in the entire battery stack can be obtained by the following calculation formula:
[0088] α i3 =α i1 +α i2 ,
[0089] Among them, α i3 The third inlet flow distribution difference data represents the inlet flow distribution between each battery module in the battery stack.
[0090] Step S700: Calculate the maximum temperature difference of the battery stack in the liquid-cooled energy storage system based on the temperature difference fitting curve.
[0091] It should be noted that, after comparing the plurality of first inlet flow rate distribution difference data, the maximum inlet flow rate distribution difference data of the inlet flow rate distribution between the battery modules in the battery cluster 190 is obtained, which is also the first difference value. The calculation formula of the first difference value is as follows:
[0092] α1=(Q1-Q2) / Q2,
[0093] Wherein, α1 represents the first difference value of the inlet flow distribution between battery modules in the same battery cluster 190 , Q1 represents the maximum inlet flow of the battery modules in the same battery cluster 190 , and Q2 represents the minimum inlet flow of the battery modules in the same battery cluster 190 .
[0094] In addition, multiple second inlet flow distribution difference data are compared to obtain the maximum inlet flow distribution difference data of the inlet flow distribution between each battery cluster 190 in the battery stack, that is, the second difference value. The calculation formula of the second difference value is as follows:
[0095] α2=(Q3-Q4) / Q4,
[0096] Wherein, α2 represents the second difference value of the inlet flow rate distribution between battery clusters 190 within the battery stack, Q3 represents the maximum inlet flow rate of the battery cluster 190 within the battery stack, and Q4 represents the minimum inlet flow rate of the battery cluster 190 within the battery stack. Based on the designed first difference value of the inlet flow rate distribution between battery modules within the battery cluster 190 and the second difference value of the inlet flow rate distribution between battery clusters 190 within the battery stack, the maximum difference data of the inlet flow rate distribution difference between each battery module in the entire battery stack can be obtained by the following calculation formula, and this difference data is represented by the third difference value:
[0097] α3=α1+α2,
[0098] Here, α3 represents the third difference value. Based on the third difference value, the maximum temperature difference of the battery stack can be obtained from the temperature difference fitting curve. Furthermore, based on the differences in the inlet flow distribution of each battery module, it can be determined whether the temperature difference and maximum temperature within the entire battery stack meet the preset requirements. In this embodiment, the maximum temperature difference between each battery module is required to be less than or equal to 3°C, and the maximum temperature of the battery module must be less than or equal to the value of the ambient temperature plus 10°C. In other embodiments, the required values for the maximum temperature difference between battery modules and the maximum temperature of the battery module can also be set to other values and are not limited to the embodiments of the present invention.
[0099] The present invention establishes a liquid cooling plate simulation model based on preset battery cell data, establishes a battery cluster flow simulation model based on the liquid cooling plate simulation model and preset battery cluster data, and establishes a battery stack flow simulation model based on the battery cluster flow simulation model and preset battery stack data; calculates the flow distribution differences of multiple pipeline inlets in the liquid-cooled energy storage system based on the battery cluster flow simulation model and the battery stack flow simulation model; calculates multiple maximum temperatures corresponding to the multiple flow distribution differences; obtains a temperature difference fitting curve based on the multiple flow distribution differences and the corresponding multiple maximum temperatures; calculates the maximum temperature difference of the battery stack in the liquid-cooled energy storage system based on the temperature difference fitting curve; and evaluates whether the design of the liquid-cooled energy storage system meets the standards based on the maximum temperature difference of the battery stack in the liquid-cooled energy storage system. Through this setting, risk point assessment is provided for early thermal management design, reducing system revision design and project development cycle time, while improving the reliability of thermal management of the liquid-cooled energy storage system.
[0100] In related technologies, thermal management risks for liquid-cooled energy storage systems often remain in the testing phase. Since the system has already been finalized, there's little room for improvement, the system temperature control testing cycle is long, and revisions are labor-intensive and resource-intensive. Therefore, this invention utilizes a thermal simulation analysis method for liquid-cooled energy storage systems to provide risk assessment and improvement solutions for early-stage thermal management design. This reduces system revision design and project development cycle time, saves costs, and improves the reliability of system thermal management.
[0101] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 5 、 Figure 9 and Figure 13 The thermal management simulation of the liquid-cooled energy storage system of the present invention is mainly divided into three levels: the design of the bottom battery module liquid cooling plate 140 is to establish a liquid cooling plate simulation model, the design of the middle battery cluster manifold 170 is to establish a battery cluster flow simulation model, and the design of the top battery stack manifold 180 is to establish a battery stack flow simulation model.
[0102] In this embodiment, during the battery module simulation phase, it is necessary to simulate and analyze the maximum temperature change of the battery module corresponding to the inlet flow rate between different battery modules, obtain the maximum temperature change value ΔT of the battery module corresponding to different flow rate difference values α, and obtain the maximum temperature difference of the battery stack in the liquid-cooled energy storage system, that is, the maximum temperature change value ΔT3, based on the maximum inlet flow difference value α3 of the battery modules in the battery stack in the liquid-cooled energy storage system. The maximum temperature difference of the battery stack in the liquid-cooled energy storage system is then used to evaluate whether the design of the liquid-cooled energy storage system meets the standards. This setting provides risk point assessment for early thermal management design, reduces system revision design and project development cycle time, and improves the reliability of the thermal management of the liquid-cooled energy storage system.
[0103] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5It is understood that the cell data includes the heating parameters of the cell 130, the distribution parameters of the cell 130, and the demand parameters of the cell 130. Step S100 includes but is not limited to the following steps:
[0104] Step S110 , obtaining a preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model according to the heating parameters of the battery cell 130 , the distribution parameters of the battery cell 130 , and the required parameters of the battery cell 130 ;
[0105] Step S120 , obtaining a liquid cooling plate simulation model by continuously optimizing the flow rate and flow channel form of the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model until the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model meets the preset liquid cooling conditions.
[0106] It should be noted that the heating parameters of the battery cell 130 include the material properties, thermal conductivity, density, specific heat capacity and heating power of the battery cell 130; the distribution parameters of the battery cell 130 include: the number of battery cells 130 in the battery module and the arrangement of the battery cells 130; the demand parameters of the battery cell 130 include: the inlet and outlet coolant temperature rise requirements and the maximum temperature rise requirements of the battery cell 130.
[0107] It should be noted that the module weight can be determined based on the number and arrangement of battery cells 130 in the battery module, and the structural parameters of the liquid cooling plate 140, such as the dimensions and thickness, can be established based on this. The total heat generation of the battery module is determined from the heat generation parameters of the battery cells 130. The inlet flow rate of the battery module is then determined based on the total heat generation of the battery module, the temperature rise requirements of the inlet and outlet coolant, and the maximum temperature rise requirements of the battery cells 130. The resulting preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model simulates the maximum simulated battery module temperature, the maximum simulated battery module temperature difference, the simulated pressure drop between the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate 140, and the simulated temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate 140, based on the input flow rate data, to determine whether the preset liquid cooling conditions are met. If so, the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model that meets the liquid cooling conditions is used as the liquid cooling plate simulation model. If not, the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model is continuously optimized until the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model meets the preset liquid cooling conditions, and the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model that meets the liquid cooling conditions is used as the liquid cooling plate simulation model.
[0108] It should be noted that when the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model does not meet the liquid cooling conditions, the maximum simulated temperature of the battery module, the maximum simulated temperature difference of the battery module, the simulated pressure drop value of the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate 140, and the simulated temperature difference of the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate 140 obtained according to the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model are compared with the liquid cooling conditions to obtain the first optimization parameters. According to the first optimization parameters, the flow channel form and flow rate of the liquid cooling plate 140 are optimized until the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model meets the preset liquid cooling conditions.
[0109] It should be noted that the flow channel form of the liquid cooling plate simulation model is the flow channel form of the liquid cooling plate 140 , and the flow channel form of the liquid cooling plate 140 includes a series type and a parallel type.
[0110] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 5 The battery module simulation model formed by the liquid cooling plate simulation model includes a battery cell positive electrode 110 , a battery cell negative electrode 120 , a battery cell 130 , a liquid cooling plate 140 and a battery module external connector 150 .
[0111] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 It is understood that the liquid cooling conditions in step S102 include but are not limited to at least one of the following steps:
[0112] Step S121, the maximum simulated temperature of the battery module in the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model is less than or equal to the preset maximum temperature value of the battery module;
[0113] Step S122, the maximum simulated temperature difference of the battery module in the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model is less than or equal to the preset maximum temperature difference value of the battery module;
[0114] Step S123: In the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model, the simulated pressure drop value at the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate 140 is less than the preset pressure drop value at the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate 140;
[0115] In step S124 , the simulated temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate 140 in the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model is less than or equal to a preset temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate 140 .
[0116] For example, the preset maximum temperature of the battery module = ambient temperature + 10°C. If the ambient temperature is 25°C, the maximum simulated temperature of the battery module must be less than or equal to 35°C. The preset maximum temperature difference of the battery module = maximum temperature of the battery module - minimum temperature of the battery module = 3°C. In this case, the maximum simulated temperature difference of the battery module must be less than or equal to 3°C. The preset pressure drop at the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate 140 is 20 kPa. In this case, the simulated pressure drop at the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate 140 must be less than 20 kPa. The preset temperature difference at the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate 140 = outlet temperature of the liquid cooling plate 140 - inlet temperature of the liquid cooling plate 140 = 2°C. In this case, the simulated temperature difference at the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate 140 must be less than or equal to 2°C. If the simulation results do not meet the above liquid cooling conditions, the preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model must be repeatedly optimized until it meets the preset liquid cooling conditions. The preliminary liquid cooling plate simulation model that meets the liquid cooling conditions will be used as the liquid cooling plate simulation model for battery module testing and verification.
[0117] Reference Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9It is understood that the battery cluster data includes battery module distribution parameters and battery module demand parameters. Step S200 includes but is not limited to the following steps:
[0118] Step S210, obtaining inlet and outlet pipe diameter data of multiple battery modules according to the liquid cooling plate simulation model;
[0119] Step S220 , obtaining a preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model based on battery module distribution parameters, battery module demand parameters, and multiple battery module inlet and outlet pipe diameter data;
[0120] Step S230 , obtaining a battery cluster flow simulation model by continuously optimizing the flow tube size and flow tube type of the preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model until the preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model meets the preset battery cluster conditions.
[0121] It should be noted that battery module distribution parameters include the number and arrangement of battery modules within battery cluster 190, while battery module demand parameters include the required battery module inlet flow rate. Based on the number and arrangement of battery modules within battery cluster 190, the inlet and outlet pipe diameters of multiple battery modules, and the required battery module inlet flow rate, the type and size of the battery cluster manifold 170 are determined, and a battery cluster flow simulation model is established based on these parameters.
[0122] It should be noted that it is necessary to judge whether the simulated import flow distribution differences of each battery module and the simulated pressure drop values of the inlet and outlet of the battery cluster 190 obtained according to the preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model meet the preset battery cluster conditions. If so, the preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model that meets the battery cluster conditions will be used as the battery cluster flow simulation model; if the battery cluster conditions are not met, the preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model will be polled and optimized until the preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model meets the battery cluster conditions, and the preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model that meets the battery cluster conditions will be used as the battery cluster flow simulation model.
[0123] It should be noted that when the preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model does not meet the battery cluster conditions, the differences in the simulated inlet flow distribution of each battery module and the simulated inlet and outlet pressure drop values of the battery cluster 190 obtained by simulation of the preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model are compared with the battery cluster conditions to obtain second optimization parameters. According to the second optimization parameters, the size of the battery cluster collector 170 and the type of the battery cluster collector 170 are optimized until the preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model meets the preset battery cluster conditions.
[0124] It should be noted that the battery cluster manifold 170 may be in the shape of a circle, a square, a polygon or a triangle, and the flow distribution corresponding to the battery cluster manifold 170 of different shapes is also different.
[0125] Reference Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 It is understood that the battery cluster conditions in step S230 include but are not limited to at least one of the following steps:
[0126] Step S231: The simulated inlet flow distribution difference of each battery module in the preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model is less than or equal to the preset inlet flow distribution difference of each battery module;
[0127] In step S232 , the simulated pressure drop value at the inlet and outlet of the battery cluster 190 in the preliminary battery cluster flow simulation model is smaller than the preset pressure drop value at the inlet and outlet of the battery cluster 190 .
[0128] For example, if the preset inlet flow rate distribution difference between each battery module is 5%, then the simulated inlet flow rate distribution difference between each battery module must be less than or equal to 5%; if the preset inlet and outlet pressure drop value of battery cluster 190 is 25 kPa, then the simulated inlet and outlet pressure drop value of battery cluster 190 must be less than 25 kPa. If the simulation results of the preliminary battery cluster flow rate simulation model do not meet the above battery cluster conditions, it is necessary to poll and optimize the preliminary battery cluster flow rate simulation model until the preliminary battery cluster flow rate simulation model meets the battery cluster conditions. The preliminary battery cluster flow rate simulation model that meets the battery cluster conditions will be used as the battery cluster flow rate simulation model for battery cluster 190 testing and verification.
[0129] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 9 The size of the battery cluster branch pipe 160 is smaller than that of the battery cluster collecting pipe 170 , but the volume of the battery cluster branch pipe 160 can be larger than or smaller than the area of the battery cluster collecting pipe 170 .
[0130] Reference Figure 10 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 It is understood that the battery stack data includes the distribution parameters of the battery cluster 190 and the demand parameters of the battery cluster 190. Step S300 includes but is not limited to the following steps:
[0131] Step S310 , obtaining inlet and outlet diameter data of multiple battery clusters 190 according to the battery cluster flow simulation model;
[0132] Step S320 , obtaining a preliminary battery stack flow simulation model based on the battery cluster 190 distribution parameters, the battery cluster 190 demand parameters, and the inlet and outlet pipe diameter data of the plurality of battery clusters 190 ;
[0133] Step S330 , obtaining a battery stack flow simulation model by continuously optimizing the flow tube size and flow tube type of the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model until the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model meets the preset battery stack conditions.
[0134] It should be noted that the distribution parameters of the battery cluster 190 include the number of battery clusters 190 in the battery stack and the arrangement of the battery clusters 190, and the demand parameters of the battery cluster 190 include the inlet flow requirements of the battery cluster 190; based on the number of battery clusters 190 in the battery stack, the arrangement of the battery clusters 190, the inlet and outlet pipe diameter data of multiple battery clusters 190 and the inlet flow requirements of each battery cluster 190, the type and size of the battery stack collecting pipe 180 are obtained, and a battery stack flow simulation model is established accordingly.
[0135] It should be noted that it is necessary to judge whether the simulated inlet flow distribution differences of each battery cluster 190 and the simulated pressure drop values at the inlet and outlet of the battery stack obtained based on the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model meet the preset battery stack conditions. If so, the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model that meets the battery stack conditions will be used as the battery stack flow simulation model; if the battery stack conditions are not met, the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model will be polled and optimized until the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model meets the battery stack conditions, and the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model that meets the battery stack conditions will be used as the battery stack flow simulation model.
[0136] It should be noted that when the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model does not meet the battery stack conditions, the simulated inlet flow distribution differences of each battery cluster 190 and the simulated pressure drop values at the inlet and outlet of the battery stack obtained by simulation according to the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model are compared with the battery stack conditions to obtain the third optimization parameters. According to the third optimization parameters, the size of the battery stack collector 180 and the type of the battery stack collector 180 are optimized until the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model meets the preset battery stack conditions.
[0137] Reference Figure 11 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 It is understood that the battery stack conditions in step S330 include but are not limited to at least one of the following steps:
[0138] Step S331 , the simulated inlet flow distribution difference of each battery cluster 190 in the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model is less than or equal to the preset inlet flow distribution difference of each battery cluster 190 ;
[0139] Step S332: The simulated pressure drop value at the inlet and outlet of the battery stack in the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model is less than the preset pressure drop value at the inlet and outlet of the battery stack.
[0140] For example, if the preset difference in inlet flow distribution for each battery cluster 190 is 15%, the simulated difference in inlet flow distribution for each battery cluster 190 must be less than or equal to 15%. If the preset pressure drop at the battery stack inlet and outlet is 30 kPa, the simulated pressure drop at the battery stack inlet and outlet must be less than 30 kPa. If the simulation results of the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model do not meet the above battery stack conditions, the preliminary battery stack flow simulation model must be polled and optimized until it meets the battery stack conditions. The preliminary battery stack flow simulation model that meets the battery stack conditions will be used as the battery stack flow simulation model for battery stack testing and verification.
[0141] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 13 The size of the battery stack collecting tube 180 is larger than that of the battery cluster collecting tube 170 , but the volume of the battery stack collecting tube 180 may be larger than or smaller than the area of the battery cluster collecting tube 170 .
[0142] Reference Figure 14 It is understood that step S700 includes but is not limited to the following steps:
[0143] Step S710, calculating a first difference value of inlet flow distribution between each battery module in each battery cluster 190 in the liquid-cooled energy storage system according to the battery cluster flow simulation model;
[0144] Step S720 , calculating a second difference value of the inlet flow distribution between each battery cluster 190 in the battery stack according to the battery stack flow simulation model;
[0145] Step S730, calculating a third difference value of the inlet flow distribution between the plurality of battery modules in the battery stack based on the first difference value and the second difference value;
[0146] Step S740: Calculate the maximum temperature difference corresponding to the third difference value according to the temperature difference fitting curve.
[0147] It should be noted that the calculation formula for the first difference value of the inlet flow distribution on each battery module in the battery cluster 190 is as follows:
[0148] α1=(Q1-Q2) / Q2,
[0149] Where α1 represents the first difference in inlet flow rate distribution between battery modules within the same battery cluster 190, Q1 represents the maximum inlet flow rate of the battery modules within the same battery cluster 190, and Q2 represents the minimum inlet flow rate of the battery modules within the same battery cluster 190. The second difference in inlet flow rate distribution between battery clusters 190 within a battery stack is calculated as follows:
[0150] α2=(Q3-Q4) / Q4,
[0151] Wherein, α2 represents the second difference value of the inlet flow rate distribution between the battery clusters 190 in the battery stack, Q3 represents the maximum inlet flow rate of the battery cluster 190 in the battery stack, and Q4 represents the minimum inlet flow rate of the battery cluster 190 in the battery stack. The calculation formula for the third difference value of the inlet flow rate distribution between each battery module in the battery stack is as follows:
[0152] α3=α1+α2,
[0153] Among them, α3 represents the third difference value of the inlet flow distribution of each battery module in the battery stack, that is, the maximum difference data of the inlet flow distribution difference between each battery module in the entire battery stack. Based on the maximum inlet flow difference value α3 between the battery modules in the battery stack in the liquid-cooled energy storage system and the temperature difference fitting curve, the maximum temperature difference of the battery stack in the liquid-cooled energy storage system, that is, the maximum temperature change value ΔT3, is obtained. Then, the maximum temperature difference of the battery stack in the liquid-cooled energy storage system is used to evaluate whether the design of the liquid-cooled energy storage system meets the standards. Through this setting, risk point assessment is provided for early thermal management design, reducing the system revision design and project development cycle time, while improving the reliability of the thermal management of the liquid-cooled energy storage system.
