Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical energy storage, and in particular to an intelligent discharge method, device and medium of a lithium-ion battery system for energy storage. Background Art

[0002] At present, the commonly used technical solutions for cooling battery systems are:

[0003] Solution 1: The lithium-ion battery system for energy storage is not equipped with a liquid cooling device. Only an air duct is set inside the battery system. An air conditioning system is set outside the battery system. The air duct is used to send external cold air into the battery system, thereby achieving cooling of the battery system during discharge.

[0004] Solution 2: A liquid cooling system is designed for the lithium-ion battery system for energy storage. When the battery system is discharging and the battery system temperature is greater than the T0 setting, the liquid cooling system is turned on to cool the battery system. When the maximum temperature Tmax of the battery system is lower than a certain temperature, the cooling is exited.

[0005] In Option 1, the lithium-ion power battery for energy storage is not equipped with a liquid cooling system, and the battery system is cooled by forced air cooling or natural air cooling. The cooling effect is poor. As the discharge progresses, the maximum temperature of the battery system may not be effectively controlled, causing the battery system life to decay rapidly.

[0006] Solution 2: A cooling system is configured for the lithium-ion battery system for energy storage. When the battery system is charging and discharging, when the temperature of the battery system exceeds a certain value, cooling is turned on until the battery system temperature meets the requirements. However, the cooling threshold is set to a constant value. As the battery system ages, the maximum temperature of the battery system may not be effectively controlled during the discharge process, resulting in a reduction in the discharge power of the battery system and a faster attenuation of the battery system life. If the cooling threshold is set too low, it may cause a waste of cooling energy. Summary of the invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the embodiments. It should be understood that the following drawings only illustrate certain embodiments of the present invention and should not be regarded as limiting the scope. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other relevant drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work. In the drawings:

[0042] Figure 1 4 is a flow chart of a discharge method in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their description are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0044] When designing an energy storage power station, the manufacturer will generally give a maximum temperature corresponding to the charging / discharging battery system. If this temperature is exceeded, the discharge power of the battery system will drop directly to 0. Using it at a temperature exceeding this temperature may bring about the risk of thermal runaway or abnormally rapid life decay. At the same time, when designing an energy storage power station, it is generally designed for a service life of 10 years or even longer, and the manufacturer will also give a temperature corresponding to it. This temperature refers to the cycle life temperature of the battery system. That is, in order to ensure that you can use the battery system for 10 years or even longer, the battery system is not allowed to exceed this temperature value when discharging. If this temperature value is exceeded, the 10-year service life cannot be guaranteed, resulting in the early retirement of the energy storage power station (involving money); Combining 1 and 2, it is required that during discharge, the discharge power of the battery system (grid-side demand load) and the battery system's own life and safety requirements must be guaranteed, which requires that the temperature of the battery system during the discharge process cannot exceed the value given by the manufacturer; this patent is based on an algorithm developed in this way, so that no matter how much the grid-side demand load (power) is, the energy storage power station will calculate when to start cooling based on the current ambient temperature, battery system SOC, battery system maximum temperature, etc., so as to maintain the temperature of the battery system within the required temperature range during the entire discharge process, thereby ensuring the power required for the battery system to discharge and also ensuring the service life of the battery system;
