Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of battery waterproofing, and specifically relates to a sunken all-vanadium redox flow energy storage system structure. Background Art
[0002] At present, large-scale all-vanadium redox flow energy storage power stations all adopt an integrated container design placed on the ground or a decentralized arrangement design inside a building. Due to the low energy density of the electrolyte of the all-vanadium redox flow battery, in order to meet the long-term energy storage requirements, it is necessary to increase the electrolyte volume to achieve this goal, which also makes the floor area of the all-vanadium redox flow energy storage power station larger than that of the lithium battery energy storage power station. In order to minimize the floor area of the all-vanadium redox flow battery energy storage power station, usually the following two methods are adopted: First, for the energy storage power station with an integrated container structure, usually the methods of densely arranging the containers and stacking the power unit containers of the all-vanadium redox flow energy storage system on top of the capacity unit containers are used to reduce the floor area; Second, for the building-integrated decentralized arrangement energy storage power station, usually the methods of increasing the building floor height or densely arranging the equipment are used to reduce the floor area. Although these methods can all reduce the floor area, they increase the later operation and maintenance difficulty and the construction cost of the energy storage power station.
[0003] One of the most important problems existing in the mixed acid system vanadium electrolyte during long-term cycling is the safety problem caused by side reactions, that is, the by-products H2 and Cl2 will explode under light conditions after mixing. In the state of imbalance between the positive and negative electrolytes of the vanadium battery, the reasons for the generation of by-products at the positive and negative electrodes are: (1) Cl in the positive electrolyte - is extremely easy to be oxidized in the high SOC state, thus precipitating Cl2, which is easy to cause corrosion and environmental pollution, and has strict requirements on the sealing of the entire battery system; (2) During long-term operation, trace amounts of H at the negative electrode + will undergo a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). After long-term operation, hydrogen will accumulate, and the existence of by-product hydrogen must be considered during the system development and actual application process. Therefore, during actual application, it is necessary to equip professional shading equipment during operation and maintenance operations, increasing the equipment investment of the energy storage power station.

[0030] Specific implementation manners and principles:
[0031] Since the energy density of the electrolyte of the all-vanadium redox flow battery is relatively low, it is necessary to increase the volume of the electrolyte to meet the demand for long-term energy storage, which makes the floor area of the all-vanadium redox flow energy storage power station generally higher than that of the mainstream lithium battery power stations in the market. In order to reduce the floor area, the methods of dense arrangement of containers and increasing the height of the integrated building are usually adopted, which also significantly increases the later operation and maintenance costs and the power station construction costs.
[0032] Therefore, the optimization of the present invention is: the sunken all-vanadium redox flow energy storage power station adopts the method of placing the all-vanadium redox flow battery capacity unit, power unit, BMS and PCS as a whole in the underground structure, and placing the primary and secondary cabins, EMU cabin and transformer of the energy storage power station on the fixed partition above the sunken structure, which minimizes the floor area and the power station construction cost of the energy storage power station.
[0033] For the independent shading device to meet the operation and maintenance requirements of the outdoor energy storage power station,
[0034] Since the by-products H2 and Cl2 generated during the actual operation of the mixed acid system electrolyte will explode under the illumination condition after mixing, it is necessary to equip with professional shading devices during the operation and maintenance operations, which increases the equipment investment.
[0035] Therefore, the optimization of the present invention is: the sunken all-vanadium redox flow energy storage power station adopts a top-sealed design, and there is no need to add an independent shading device during the later operation and maintenance of the power station, which reduces the equipment investment.
[0036] In other aspects,
[0037] In the structural design of the sunken all-vanadium redox flow energy storage power station of the present invention, the capacity unit, power unit, BMS, and PCS of the all-vanadium redox flow battery are integrally placed in the underground structure, and the transformer, primary and secondary cabins, and EMU cabin of the energy storage power station are uniformly placed on the fixed partition above the sunken structure, saving the floor area of the power station to the greatest extent. At the same time, the sunken structural design eliminates the container cost investment of the all-vanadium redox flow energy storage power station with container integrated design and the construction investment of the all-vanadium redox flow energy storage power station with building integrated design.
[0038] In the design of the sunken all-vanadium redox flow energy storage power station, the ground support structure adopts a combined structure of fixed and movable partitions. The fixed partition has good load-bearing characteristics, and the movable partition adopts full-automatic control, ensuring the convenience of equipment hoisting during the operation and maintenance of the energy storage power station. At the same time, maintenance personnel enter the interior of the sunken energy storage bin using a hydraulic lift as the daily inspection entrance.
[0039] In terms of waterproofing,
[0040] The present invention adopts a four-level waterproof and drainage structure: (1) The first-level waterproof and drainage is achieved by setting a cofferdam and a drainage trough on the plane of the ground support structure of the sunken structure, ensuring the timely discharge of accumulated water on the plane and preventing external accumulated water from entering the upper plane of the sunken structure; (2) The second-level waterproof and drainage is achieved by setting a rainproof curtain structure below the partition and above the core equipment such as the all-vanadium redox flow energy storage capacity unit, power unit, BMS, and PCS. The rainproof curtain cloth is unfolded and retracted through a drum motor hanging mechanism. The head of the entire rainproof structure is slightly higher than the tail to ensure that the accumulated water flows out along the slope; (3) The third-level waterproof and drainage is achieved by placing the core equipment such as the vanadium redox flow energy storage capacity unit, power unit, BMS, and PCS on the waterproof platform of the sunken structure. Once water enters the interior of the sunken structure, it can be discharged through the confluence trough and drainage pump to protect the safety of the core equipment; (4) The fourth-level waterproof and drainage is achieved by building a waterproof structure with a water isolation chamber and a drainage pipe around the sunken structure, which can effectively prevent underground seepage and protect the safety inside the sunken structure.
[0041] Since the by-products H2 and Cl2 generated during the actual operation of the all-vanadium redox flow battery mixed acid system electrolyte will explode under light conditions after mixing, the sunken all-vanadium redox flow energy storage power station adopts a top-sealed design, and no independent shading equipment needs to be added during the later operation and maintenance of the power station, reducing equipment investment.
[0042] The movable partition and the automatic waterproof curtain are uniformly controlled by the BMS in a chain. When maintenance personnel are preparing to perform equipment maintenance, the BMS can only allow maintenance personnel to enter the interior of the sunken power station after swiping the card and taking the hydraulic lift when the movable partition is closed and the automatic waterproof curtain is opened, ensuring that maintenance operations can be carried out under shading and waterproof conditions.
[0043] Based on the above, the sunken all-vanadium redox flow energy storage power station of the present invention adopts a top-sealed design, and there is no need to add independent shading equipment during the later operation and maintenance of the power station, reducing equipment investment. And a four-level waterproof and drainage structure is designed, making the waterproof effect of the sunken all-vanadium redox flow energy storage system better.
[0044] As is known by technical common sense, the present invention can be implemented by other embodiments that do not depart from its spiritual essence or essential features. Therefore, the above-disclosed embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not exclusive. All changes within the scope of the present invention or within the scope equivalent to the present invention are encompassed by the present invention.
