[0002] With the rapid development of renewable energy technologies, especially the use of clean energy such as solar and wind energy, how to efficiently store and utilize these intermittent energy sources has become an increasingly prominent problem. Current energy storage systems mostly use electrochemical energy storage methods, but these systems often have defects such as low energy conversion efficiency, slow response speed, and poor environmental adaptability, especially in extreme weather conditions such as high temperature or low temperature, the efficiency and stability of the energy storage system will be severely affected.

[0003] In related technologies, the thermal management of the energy storage system mainly relies on a water chiller and a liquid cooling heat exchange device to cool or heat the energy storage battery. However, this thermal management method may not meet the growing scale and density of the energy storage system, often having problems such as insufficient cooling efficiency, long response time, high energy consumption, etc. In extremely cold or high-temperature environments, it is even more inadequate.

[0081] Embodiments of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are for the purpose of explanation only, and are not to be understood as limiting the present application.

[0082] The present application discloses an energy storage system 10.

[0083] The following describes an energy storage system 10 according to embodiments of the present application. Figures 1-29

[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 , the energy storage system 10 comprises a refrigeration circuit 11, an energy storage battery 12, a first flow path 13, a first heat sink 14, an electronic device 15, a second flow path 16, and a valve group 21.

[0085] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 15 , Figure 22 and Figure 29 ​As shown, the refrigeration circuit 11 includes a compressor 111, a first path of a condenser 112, a first expansion valve 113, and a first path of an evaporator 114; a heat exchange portion of the energy storage battery 12 is connected to a first flow path 13, and the first flow path 13 includes a first pump 131 and a heater 132; a heat exchange portion of the electronic device 15 is connected to a second flow path 16, and the second flow path 16 includes a second pump 161 and a second heat sink 162; a plurality of valve ports of a valve group 21 are respectively connected to a second path of the condenser 112, a second path of the evaporator 114, the first heat sink 14, the first flow path 13, and the second flow path 16, and the plurality of valve ports of the valve group 21 can be selectively opened and closed.

[0086] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 15 , Figure 22 and Figure 29 , the refrigeration circuit 11 can further include a liquid storage tank 115, which can be used to separate liquid refrigerant and refrigerant vapor, and the liquid storage tank 115 can be located between the first path of the condenser 112 and the first expansion valve 113.

[0087] The cooling liquid in the first flow path 13 can exchange heat with the heat exchange portion of the energy storage battery 12 to achieve thermal management of the energy storage battery 12; the cooling liquid in the second flow path 16 can exchange heat with the heat exchange portion of the electronic device 15 to achieve thermal management of the electronic device 15.

[0088] The electronic device 15 can be a high-heat device in the energy storage system 10, and specifically, the electronic device 15 can include but is not limited to a power conversion assembly, a communication module, a detection module, or an interaction module, etc. For example, in some embodiments, the electronic device 15 is a power conversion assembly.

[0089] It can be understood that, taking the electronic device as an inverter for example, the working temperature ranges and heat dissipation requirements of the energy storage battery and the inverter are different. Specifically, the energy storage battery is usually best operated at 20-35°C, while the inverter can work in a wider temperature range (25-60°C). In related technologies, the energy storage battery and the inverter are connected in series in the same circuit and use the same heat sink for heat dissipation, which cannot meet the different heat dissipation requirements of the two. For example, if the design of the heat sink is mainly based on the heat dissipation requirement of the inverter, the energy storage battery cannot be sufficiently cooled, and vice versa. If the design of the heat sink is mainly based on the heat dissipation requirement of the energy storage battery, the heat exchange capacity requirement of the heat sink is more severe, and a large-scale and more complex heat sink needs to be selected, which greatly increases the thermal management cost and maintenance cost of the energy storage system, and also seriously affects the energy efficiency ratio of the system.

[0090] In actual implementation, as shown in Figures 2-6 ,Figures 9-14 , Figures 16-21 and Figures 23-28 As shown, the energy storage system 10 can be configured with multiple thermal management modes. Each thermal management mode has a different temperature control method for the energy storage battery 12 and electronic devices 15. These multiple thermal management modes may include, but are not limited to: First, in active cooling mode, the evaporator 114 of the cooling circuit 11 can dissipate heat from the energy storage battery 12, while the first heat sink 14 and the second heat sink 162 can dissipate heat from the electronic devices 15 and the condenser 112 of the cooling circuit 11; Second, in natural cooling mode, the first heat sink 14 can dissipate heat from the energy storage battery 12, while the second heat sink 162 can dissipate heat from the electronic devices 15; Third, in electric heating mode, the heater 132... The energy storage battery 12 can be heated; fourth, in active temperature equalization mode, the coolant is driven to circulate to promote internal temperature equalization of the energy storage battery 12; fifth, in liquid replenishment and venting mode, the liquid replenishment port and venting port of the water-side component are opened, and the coolant is replenished and the internal gas is discharged during the circulation of the coolant; sixth, in heat pump heating mode, the condenser 112 can heat the energy storage battery 12, and at the same time, the electronic device 15, the first heat sink 14 and the second heat sink 162 can supplement the heat of the evaporator 114. If the heat provided by the refrigeration circuit 11 is still insufficient to meet the demand, the condenser 112 and the heater 132 can work together to heat the energy storage battery 12.

[0091] It should be noted that in natural cooling mode, the fan speed of the first radiator 14 can be controlled according to the water inlet temperature of the energy storage battery 12, and the fan speed of the second radiator 162 can be controlled according to the water inlet temperature of the electronic device 15.

[0092] The energy storage system 10 provided in this application embodiment, through the arrangement of the first radiator 14, the second radiator 162 and the valve group 21, uses corresponding radiators to dissipate heat for the energy storage battery 12 and electronic device 15 with different inlet water temperature requirements, thereby reducing the heat exchange capacity requirements of the first radiator 14 and the second radiator 162, reducing the overall energy consumption of the system, and thus effectively reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs; at the same time, it can realize multiple thermal management modes by using water circulation switching, reducing the overuse of the cooling circuit 11, reducing the energy consumption throughout the product's life cycle, thereby improving the overall performance and thus improving the system's operating energy efficiency; and it increases the integration of water-side components, thereby reducing the volume of the liquid cooling unit, and thus increasing the energy density of the energy storage system 10.

[0093] In some embodiments, the inlet of the first flow path 13 may be connected to the outlet of the second flow path of the evaporator 114, and the inlet of the second flow path 16 may be connected to the outlet of the second flow path of the condenser 112; the valve group 21 may include: a first valve 211 and a second valve 212.

[0094] As shown in Figures 1-6 , the first valve port A1 of the first valve 211 can be connected to the inlet of the first radiator 14, the second valve port A2 of the first valve 211 can be connected to the fourth valve port B4 of the second valve 212, the third valve port A3 of the first valve 211 can be connected to the inlet of the second path of the evaporator 114, the fourth valve port A4 of the first valve 211 can be connected to the outlet of the first flow path 13; the first valve port B1 of the second valve 212 can be connected to the outlet of the second flow path 16, the second valve port B2 of the second valve 212 can be connected to the inlet of the second path of the condenser 112, and the third valve port B3 of the second valve 212 can be connected to the outlet of the first radiator 14.

[0095] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-6 , the first valve 211 can have four valve ports, and the second valve 212 can have four valve ports, wherein one valve port of the first valve 211 and one valve port of the second valve 212 can be connected to each other, and the other three valve ports of the first valve 211 and the other three valve ports of the second valve 212 can be connected to the inlet and outlet of the first radiator 14, the inlet of the second path of the condenser 112, the inlet of the second path of the evaporator 114, the outlet of the first flow path 13 and the outlet of the second flow path 16 respectively. By changing the connection relationship between the four valve ports of the first valve 211 and the four valve ports of the second valve 212, the relationship between the first radiator 14, the second path of the condenser 112, the second path of the evaporator 114, the first flow path 13 and the second flow path 16 can be changed to realize the active refrigeration mode, the natural cooling mode, the electric heating mode, the active uniform temperature mode and the liquid supplementing and exhaust mode.

[0096] The energy storage system 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application, through the above-mentioned setting of the first valve 211 and the second valve 212, in combination with the design that the first valve 211 has four valve ports and the second valve 212 has four valve ports, considering that the heat pump heating mode has less frequency of use in actual application, the number of valve ports is reduced as much as possible under the premise of not affecting the core heat management function of the energy storage system 10, thereby significantly simplifying the water path structure, further improving the energy density of the energy storage system 10, and reducing the complexity of pipe arrangement and the design difficulty of the control system, so that the energy storage system 10 can be applied to common scenes with greater cost advantage, and the miniaturization and lightweight design of the energy storage system 10 are realized.

[0097] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 , the energy storage system 10 can further include a first three-way valve 101 and a second three-way valve 102.

[0098] As shown in Figure 7As shown, the three valve ports of the first three-way valve 101 can be connected to the fifth valve port A5 of the first valve 211, the third valve port B3 of the second valve 212, and the outlet of the first radiator 14, respectively; the three valve ports of the second three-way valve 102 can be connected to the inlet of the second radiator 162, the outlet of the heat exchange section of the electronic device 15, and the fifth valve port B5 of the second valve 212, respectively.

[0099] In this embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, based on the four valve ports of the first valve 211 and the four valve ports of the second valve 212, a fifth valve port A5 is added to the first valve 211, and a fifth valve port B5 is added to the second valve 212. Furthermore, two branches are added to the existing piping layout. A first three-way valve 101 is installed at the outlet of the first radiator 14, and the first three-way valve 101 is connected to the newly added fifth valve port A5 on the first valve 211 through one of the branches. A second three-way valve 102 is installed at the inlet of the second radiator 162. The three-way valve 102 is connected to the newly added fifth valve port B5 on the second valve 212 via another branch. Considering that the simplified scheme above does not have a heat pump heating mode, in order to further meet the heating requirements of the energy storage battery 12 in extremely cold environments, in the case that the energy storage system 10 includes the first three-way valve 101 and the second three-way valve 102, the energy storage system 10 also includes a waste heat utilization mode. In the waste heat utilization mode, the second valve port A2 of the first valve 211 is connected to the third valve port A3 of the first valve 211, and the fourth valve port A4 of the first valve 211 is connected to... The fifth valve port A5 of the first valve 211 is connected; the second valve port B2 of the second valve 212 is connected to the third valve port B3; the fourth valve port B4 of the second valve 212 is connected to the fifth valve port B5; the valve port of the first three-way valve 101 connected to the third valve port B3 of the second valve 212 is connected to the valve port of the first three-way valve 101 connected to the fifth valve port A5 of the first valve 211; the valve port of the second three-way valve 102 connected to the outlet of the heat exchange section of the electronic device 15 is connected to the valve port of the second three-way valve 102 connected to the first valve 211. The valve port connected to the fifth valve port A5 of 11 allows the coolant to pass sequentially through the heat exchange section of electronic device 15, the second three-way valve 102, the second path of evaporator 114, the first pump 131, the heat exchange section of energy storage battery 12, the heater 132, the first three-way valve 101, the second path of condenser 112, and the second pump 161. The compressor 111, the first radiator 14, and the second radiator 162 are not working, while the first pump 131 and the second pump 161 are working. The heater 132 can be switched on and off according to the actual situation of the energy storage battery 12.

[0100] The energy storage system 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application adds one valve port to the first valve 211 and the second valve 212 respectively on the basis of the four valve ports of the first valve 211 and the four valve ports of the second valve 212, shields the passage where the first radiator 14 and the second radiator 162 are located by controlling the valve port on-off of the first valve 211, the second valve 212, the first three-way valve 101 and the second three-way valve 102, and makes the cooling liquid skillfully bypass the first radiator 14 and the second radiator 162 on the premise of passing through the electronic device 15, so as to realize the waste heat utilization mode. In a low-temperature environment, the waste heat of the electronic device 15 is utilized to heat the energy storage battery 12, so as to reduce the loss of waste heat as much as possible. Meanwhile, if the waste heat of the electronic device 15 is insufficient to meet the heat demand of the energy storage battery 12, the heater 132 can also be started to heat the energy storage battery 12 together with the waste heat, so as to optimize the heating effect of the waste heat utilization mode without affecting the energy density of the energy storage system 10.

This allows all water-side pipelines to be centrally arranged at the ten-way valve, minimizing the space occupied by the liquid cooling unit and significantly increasing the energy density of the entire energy storage system 10. This achieves overall miniaturization and lightweight design. Furthermore, by controlling the on / off state of the ten valve ports, it enables active cooling mode, natural cooling mode, electric heating mode, active temperature equalization mode, liquid replenishment and exhaust mode, and heat pump heating mode, thereby increasing the versatility of the energy storage system 10.

In addition, the timely supplement of the cooling liquid and the exhaust gas can reduce corrosion and deposits in the system, keep the pipeline clean, and further prolong the service life of the energy storage system 10.

[0144] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 13 , Figure 20 and Figure 27 , the energy storage system 10 has a fifth working mode, in which the first pump 131 is working, the compressor 111, the first heat sink 14, the second pump 161, the second heat sink 162 and the heater 132 are all shut down, and the second path of the evaporator 114 and the first flow path 13 are connected end to end.

[0150] The energy storage system 10 provided in this application embodiment, through the design of the fifth working mode described above, utilizes coolant circulation to actively equalize the temperature of the entire energy storage system 10. Considering that the system heat dissipation pressure is relatively small at this time, no additional heat dissipation configuration is required, which improves the temperature uniformity of multiple battery cells in the energy storage battery 12, and at the same time improves the temperature uniformity of the entire energy storage system 10 under moderate ambient temperature conditions.

[0151] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14 , Figure 21 and Figure 28 As shown, the energy storage system 10 has a sixth working mode.

[0155] like Figure 28 As shown, when the energy storage system 10 includes a fifth valve 215, a sixth valve 216, and a seventh valve 217, and the energy storage system 10 switches to the sixth operating mode, the on / off states of each valve port of the fifth valve 215, the sixth valve 216, and the seventh valve 217 are as follows: the first valve port F1 of the fifth valve 215 is connected to the fourth valve port F4 of the fifth valve 215, and the second valve port F2 of the fifth valve 215 is connected to the third valve port F3 of the fifth valve 215; the first valve port G1 of the sixth valve 216 is connected to the fourth valve port G4 of the sixth valve 216, and the second valve port G2 of the sixth valve 216 is connected to the third valve port G3 of the sixth valve 216; the first valve port H1 of the seventh valve 217 is connected to the second valve port H2 of the seventh valve 217, and the third valve port H3 of the seventh valve 217 is connected to the fourth valve port H4 of the seventh valve 217.

[0156] The energy storage system 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application realizes heating of the energy storage battery 12 by the condenser 112 of the refrigeration circuit 11 in the case of excessively low temperature of the energy storage battery 12, so that the energy storage battery 12 can normally work in a low-temperature environment, and the performance of the energy storage system 10 is optimized. Meanwhile, the waste heat of the electronic device 15 is used to supplement the low-pressure end of the refrigerant circulation, so that the effect of combined heating of the electronic device 15 and the compressor 111 is achieved. If the waste heat of the electronic device 15 and the heating capacity of the compressor 111 are insufficient to meet the heat demand of the energy storage battery 12, the heater 132 can also be started to heat, and the waste heat of the electronic device 15 and the heating of the compressor 111 jointly provide heat to realize excess heat power output, further improve the heating power, and accelerate the temperature rise rate of the energy storage battery 12 in an extremely cold environment.

[0157] In some embodiments, the refrigeration circuit 11 can further include a dehumidification branch.

[0158] As shown in Figures 1-29 The dehumidification branch can be connected in parallel to the series connection path formed by the first path of the evaporator 114 and the first expansion valve 113, and the dehumidification branch can include a dehumidification heat exchanger 116 and a second expansion valve 117.

[0159] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail from two different implementation angles respectively.

[0160] I. Only the dehumidification heat exchanger 116 works, and the evaporator 114 does not work.

[0161] In actual implementation, when the energy storage system 10 needs to start the dehumidification function, the compressor 111 starts to work, the first expansion valve 113 is closed, the second expansion valve 117 is opened, and the low-temperature refrigerant flows out from the outlet of the first path of the condenser 112 and then flows into the dehumidification branch. Meanwhile, the second flow path 16, the second path of the condenser 112 and the first heat sink 14 can be sequentially connected end to end, and the first heat sink 14 and the second heat sink 162 can dissipate heat for the electronic device 15 and the condenser 112. In the process of the low-temperature refrigerant flowing through the dehumidification heat exchanger 116, the water vapor in the air condenses into water and adheres to the surface of the dehumidification heat exchanger 116, and finally the condensed water is collected to complete the dehumidification process.

[0162] II. The dehumidification heat exchanger 116 and the evaporator 114 both work.

[0163] In actual implementation, when the energy storage system 10 needs to start the dehumidification function, the compressor 111 starts to work, the first expansion valve 113 and the second expansion valve 117 are both opened, and part of the low-temperature refrigerant flows into the dehumidification branch after flowing out from the outlet of the first path of the condenser 112, and the other part flows into the first path of the evaporator 114. In other words, in this case, the refrigeration circuit 11 extracts part of the refrigerant for dehumidification, and the other refrigerant is still used for heat exchange with the water side component. In the process of the low-temperature refrigerant flowing through the dehumidification heat exchanger 116, the water vapor in the air is condensed into water and adheres to the surface of the dehumidification heat exchanger 116, and finally the condensed water is collected to complete the dehumidification process.

[0164] It should be noted that when the energy storage system 10 does not need to start the dehumidification function, the second expansion valve 117 is in a normally closed state; when the energy storage system 10 needs to start the dehumidification function, in the case that the dehumidification heat exchanger 116 and the evaporator 114 both work, the on-off state of the valve ports of the valve group 21 can refer to the on-off state of the valve ports in the first working mode to the sixth working mode. The on-off state of the valve ports in the first working mode to the sixth working mode has been described in detail in the foregoing, and will not be described here.

[0165] The energy storage system 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application can realize the independent dehumidification function of the energy storage system 10 by controlling the opening and closing of the first expansion valve 113 and the second expansion valve 117 through the dehumidification heat exchanger 116 and the second expansion valve 117, and can maximize the dehumidification effect. The dehumidification effect is also optimized, and the thermal management demand of the energy storage battery 12 and the dehumidification demand of the system are considered, thereby increasing the practicability and use width of the entire energy storage system 10.

[0166] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 29 The energy storage system 10 can further include a water collecting tank 18 and a spraying device 19.

[0167] The water collecting tank 18 can be located below the dehumidification heat exchanger 116 in the direction of gravity, and the water collecting tank 18 can be used to collect and accumulate condensed water; the spraying device 19 can be in communication with the water collecting tank 18, and the spraying port of the spraying device 19 is adapted to face at least one of the first heat sink 14 and the second heat sink 162.

[0168] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 29As shown, the spraying device 19 can include a spray head 191, a conveying pipe 192, and a third pump 193. The inlet of the conveying pipe 192 is connected to the water collecting groove 18, the outlet of the conveying pipe 192 is connected to the spray head 191, and the third pump 193 is used to drive the flow of the condensed water in the conveying pipe 192. The spray head 191 can be arranged to face the first heat sink 14. The condensed water accumulated in the water collecting groove 18 can be sprayed to the surface of the first heat sink 14 by the spraying device 19. The heat absorption of the rapid evaporation of the condensed water can be used to improve the heat dissipation rate of the first heat sink 14.

[0169] In some other embodiments, the spray head 191 can have a plurality of spray openings, and the plurality of spray openings can be arranged to face the first heat sink 14 and the second heat sink 162, respectively. Alternatively, the spraying device 19 can include a plurality of spray heads 191, and the spray openings of the plurality of spray heads 191 can be arranged to face the first heat sink 14 and the second heat sink 162, respectively. The condensed water accumulated in the water collecting groove 18 can be sprayed to the surfaces of the first heat sink 14 and the second heat sink 162 by the spraying device 19. The heat absorption of the rapid evaporation of the condensed water can be used to improve the heat dissipation rates of the first heat sink 14 and the second heat sink 162.

[0170] In some other embodiments, the spray head 191 can have a plurality of spray openings, and the plurality of spray openings can be arranged to face the first heat sink 14 and the second heat sink 162, respectively. Alternatively, the spraying device 19 can include a plurality of spray heads 191, and the spray openings of the plurality of spray heads 191 can be arranged to face the first heat sink 14 and the second heat sink 162, respectively. The condensed water accumulated in the water collecting groove 18 can be sprayed to the surfaces of the first heat sink 14 and the second heat sink 162 by the spraying device 19. The heat absorption of the rapid evaporation of the condensed water can be used to improve the heat dissipation rates of the first heat sink 14 and the second heat sink 162.

[0171] The energy storage system 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application can realize the collection and reuse of the condensed water through the arrangement of the water collecting groove 18 and the spraying device 19. The condensed water collected from the dehumidification heat exchanger 116 can be sprayed on the first heat sink 14 and / or the second heat sink 162 to rapidly reduce the temperature of the first heat sink 14 and / or the second heat sink 162, enhance the heat exchange capacity of the first heat sink 14 and / or the second heat sink 162, and improve the working performance of the refrigeration circuit 11. The energy consumption of the system is reduced, the condensed water is effectively utilized, the environmental protection requirements of energy saving and emission reduction are met, and the intelligent and accurate heat dissipation control can be realized through the automatic adjustment of the spraying water amount and the spraying time of the spraying device 19 according to the temperature of the first heat sink 14 and / or the second heat sink 162 and the running state of the system.
