[0044] This application provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for controlling electrolyte flow rate. The method provided by this invention can be applied to any electronic device as needed, such as a server, terminal, or other electronic device. No specific limitation is made here, and for ease of description, it will be referred to as an electronic device below.

[0045] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method embodiment for controlling electrolyte flow rate is provided. Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for controlling electrolyte flow rate provided in an embodiment of this application is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0046] Step S11: Detect the first voltage value of the battery module in the vanadium redox flow battery system during the current time period.

[0047] The method provided in this application is applied to a processor for detecting a vanadium redox flow battery system. The processor can send control commands to multiple sensors deployed on the battery module, so that each sensor executes the control commands to periodically detect the battery module and obtain multiple current detection parameters of the battery module. The detection parameters may include: the voltage value of the battery module, the charging / discharging current, the electrolyte temperature, the flow rate, and other parameters.

[0048] In this embodiment of the application, the processor can obtain the first voltage value of the current time period from the detection parameters. Since the current time period includes at least two detection moments, the first voltage value includes the voltage value corresponding to each detection moment.

[0049] Step S12: Calculate the first voltage change rate of the battery module within the current time period based on the first voltage value.

[0050] In this embodiment of the application, the calculation of the first rate of change of the battery module in the current time period based on the first voltage value may be as follows: obtain the start time and end time of the current time period, then obtain the voltage values ​​corresponding to the start time and end time respectively from the first voltage value, and calculate the first rate of change of the battery module in the current detection period based on the voltage values.

[0051] Step S13: Determine the first voltage range into which the first voltage value falls, and the first voltage change rate threshold corresponding to the first voltage range.

[0052] In this embodiment of the application, step S13, determining the first voltage range into which the first voltage value falls, and the first voltage change rate threshold corresponding to the first voltage range, includes the following steps A1-A3:

[0053] Step A1: Detect the target operating status of the vanadium redox flow battery system within the current time period.

[0054] In this embodiment, the processor can detect the target operating state of the battery module in the vanadium redox flow battery system within the current time period. The target operating state can be either a charging state or a discharging state.

[0055] Step A2: Obtain the correspondence between preset operating states and voltage ranges, and determine at least one candidate voltage range corresponding to the target operating state based on the correspondence. The preset operating states include: charging state and discharging state.

[0056] In this embodiment of the application, the user can establish a correspondence between preset operating states and voltage ranges. For example, when the battery module is in the charging state, the voltage will be in the rising stage. Therefore, multiple voltage ranges corresponding to the charging state can be established in advance, and different candidate voltage ranges correspond to different voltage change rate thresholds.

[0057] In the embodiments of this application, after determining the current target operating state of the battery module of the vanadium redox flow battery system, at least one candidate voltage range corresponding to the target operating state can be obtained based on the above correspondence.

[0058] Step A3: Determine the candidate voltage range into which the first voltage value falls as the first voltage range, and obtain the first voltage change rate threshold corresponding to the first voltage range.

[0059] In this embodiment, a first voltage value detected within the current time period is matched with a candidate voltage range, and the candidate voltage range into which the first voltage value falls is determined as the first voltage range. Simultaneously, a first voltage change rate threshold corresponding to the first voltage range is obtained.

[0060] As an example, when the first voltage range is 46V–52V, the first voltage change rate threshold is 0.0009V / s. Or, when the first voltage range is 52V–56V, the first voltage change rate threshold is 0.0006V / s. When the first voltage range is 56V–xV, the first voltage change rate threshold is 0.0003V / s, where x is greater than 56V.

[0061] Step S14: Adjust the electrolyte flow rate in the vanadium redox flow battery system based on the first comparison result between the first voltage change rate and the first voltage change rate threshold.

[0062] In this embodiment of the application, step S14, adjusting the electrolyte flow rate in the vanadium redox flow battery system based on a first comparison result between the first voltage change rate and the first voltage change rate threshold, includes the following steps B1-B2:

[0063] Step B1: Compare the first voltage change rate with the first voltage change rate threshold to obtain the first comparison result.

[0064] Step B2: Based on the first comparison result, control the current motor frequency of the motor in the vanadium redox flow battery system, wherein the motor frequency is used to control the electrolyte flow rate in the vanadium redox flow battery system.

[0065] This application embodiment controls the motor frequency by comparing the first voltage change rate with the first voltage change rate threshold, thereby controlling the electrolyte flow rate in the vanadium redox flow battery system.

[0066] In this embodiment of the application, step B2, controlling the current motor frequency of the motor in the vanadium redox flow battery system based on the first comparison result, includes: when the first comparison result is that the voltage change rate is less than or equal to the first voltage change rate threshold, controlling the motor of the vanadium redox flow battery system to maintain the current motor frequency.

[0067] In this embodiment of the application, step B2, controlling the current motor frequency of the motor in the vanadium redox flow battery system based on the first comparison result, includes: when the first comparison result is that the first voltage change rate is greater than the first voltage change rate threshold, increasing the current motor frequency according to a preset gradient until the voltage change rate after the increase operation is less than the first voltage change frequency.

[0068] As an example, when the battery system is charged at a constant power of 15kW, the initial voltage rises to 46V, falling within the voltage range of 46V-52V. The initial motor frequency is set to 25Hz. If the battery voltage change rate is less than or equal to 0.0009V / s, it indicates a slow voltage rise. In this case, the motor continues to operate at the current frequency, and the combined power consumption of the two motors in the system is approximately 0.2kW.

[0069] If the voltage change rate is greater than 0.0009V / S, the battery voltage rises slowly, indicating that the electrolyte flow rate in the system is low and cannot meet the reaction requirements of the battery's active materials. At this point, the given frequency of the motor is increased by 1Hz, and the motor operating frequency is 26Hz. The voltage change rate is then monitored. If it is still greater than 0.0009V / S, the frequency is increased further until the voltage change rate is less than 0.009V / S. At this point, the motor is controlled to operate at the frequency increased to the final level for the current stage.

[0070] Based on the characteristics of the relationship between terminal voltage and flow rate during the charging and discharging process of the vanadium redox flow battery, this embodiment controls the motor frequency by the rate of change of battery voltage during charging or discharging, thereby ultimately regulating the electrolyte flow rate. This not only avoids the disadvantages of range oscillation caused by gradient control, but also effectively reduces the power consumption of the battery system, improves the efficiency of the flow battery system, and extends the service life of the electrolyte pump.

[0071] In this embodiment of the application, after increasing the current motor frequency according to a preset gradient, the method further includes the following steps:

[0072] Step S21: Monitor the second voltage value of the battery module after the motor performs an amplification operation, and use the second voltage value to calculate the second voltage change rate.

[0073] Step S22: Determine the second voltage range into which the second voltage value falls, and the second voltage change rate threshold corresponding to the second voltage range.

[0074] Step S23: Adjust the electrolyte flow rate in the vanadium redox flow battery system based on the second comparison result between the second voltage change rate and the second voltage change rate threshold.

[0075] In this embodiment of the application, step S23, adjusting the electrolyte flow rate in the vanadium redox flow battery system based on a second comparison result between the second voltage change rate and the second voltage change rate threshold, includes:

[0076] If the second comparison result is that the first voltage change rate is greater than the first voltage change rate threshold, the current motor frequency is amplified according to the preset gradient until the voltage change rate after the amplification operation is less than the first voltage change frequency.

[0077] If the second comparison result is that the voltage change rate is less than or equal to the first voltage change rate threshold, the motor of the vanadium redox flow battery system is controlled to maintain the current motor frequency.

[0078] As an example, when the second voltage value of the battery module reaches 52V, it falls within the voltage range of 46V-52V, and the battery voltage change rate is determined to be less than or equal to 0.0006V / S. The motor continues to operate at the current frequency. If the voltage change rate is greater than 0.0006V / S, it indicates that the battery voltage is rising too quickly. At this point, the system increases the motor's set frequency by 1Hz, and continues to monitor the voltage change rate. If it is still greater than 0.0006V / S, the frequency is increased further until the voltage change rate is less than 0.0006V / S. At this point, the motor operates at the frequency after the final increase in the current stage.

[0079] In this embodiment, the battery module voltage is continuously monitored. When the battery module voltage reaches 56V, the rate of change of the battery voltage is detected to be less than or equal to 0.0003V / S, and the motor continues to run at the current frequency. If the battery voltage rises rapidly, with a rate of change greater than 0.0003V / S, the motor's set frequency is increased by 1Hz. The rate of change of the voltage is then monitored again. If it is still greater than 0.0003V / S, the frequency is increased further until the rate of change of the voltage is less than 0.0003V / S. At this point, the motor runs at the frequency increased to the final value of the current stage.

[0080] The method provided in this application increases the motor frequency and then monitors the battery voltage. Based on the monitored voltage, it calculates the voltage change rate and continues to adjust the motor frequency to adjust the electrolyte flow rate under different conditions, effectively reducing power consumption and extending the service life of the electrolyte pump.
