Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fiber grating sensors, and in particular relates to a fiber grating monitoring system for energy storage batteries. Background Art

[0002] Electrochemical energy storage is a technology that converts electrical energy into chemical energy for storage through electrochemical reactions, and converts chemical energy back into electrical energy when needed. It uses the charging and discharging process of batteries or similar chemical devices to achieve energy storage and release. Electrochemical energy storage technology has been widely used in power systems, new energy vehicles, portable electronic devices and other fields due to its high energy density, high efficiency, fast response and good reversibility.

[0003] However, electrochemical energy storage safety accidents occur frequently. The safety of large-scale energy storage is a system-level safety issue, because more than tens of thousands of single cells are connected in series and parallel, which is extremely complex. At the same time, the electrochemical energy storage power station battery pack, battery management system (BMS), energy management system (EMS), energy storage converter (PCS), etc., any hidden dangers and defects in any component will cause the entire energy storage station to catch fire or even explode. In recent years, relevant documents and standards issued by various countries have required the strengthening of risk monitoring of safe operation of electrochemical energy storage power stations.

[0004] The current risk monitoring is mainly based on the battery thermal management system of the battery management system (BMS). The thermal management system includes temperature sensors, heating and cooling systems, temperature control strategies, thermal balance management, thermal runaway protection, etc. The monitoring items of the battery management system (BMS) are mainly temperature, and most of them are supplemented by smoke, gas, infrared and other monitoring methods. The temperature sensors are mainly based on thermocouples and NTC negative temperature coefficient thermistors. These monitoring methods can monitor and feedback the monitoring results to the fire execution unit for automatic execution to control the expansion of accidents. Although the occurrence of thermal runaway accidents can be avoided to a certain extent, early warning of thermal runaway and thermal runaway spread cannot be carried out, and the root cause cannot be cured. In addition, the life of the current electrical sensors is limited, and they need to be shut down for maintenance and replacement, which reduces the efficiency of equipment use. The monitoring process needs to be powered on for monitoring, and there is a risk of electric sparks and explosions caused by reactions of flammable gases generated in the battery during the monitoring process. For example, Chinese patent CN112230327 A discloses "an all-glass packaging device and packaging method for fiber Bragg gratings". Based on this, a new fiber Bragg grating sensor substrate is innovatively developed with super durability and stability. It can fundamentally solve the problems of sensor stability and lifespan, and the fiber Bragg grating sensor is inherently safe and does not require power drive; it can also accurately monitor the early battery shell deformation, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the battery box, the battery temperature, and the temperature of the wiring board throughout the life cycle.
