[0002] With the improvement of energy storage systems, the power energy storage system industry of lithium battery chemical system has developed rapidly. Due to the large amount of energy stored in lithium batteries, if the device selection does not take into account the short-circuit tolerance current range, it may cause the system to explode and catch fire during the short-circuit process, causing direct economic losses.
[0003] However, the failure to calculate and check the short-circuit withstand current in advance during the system design process resulted in high trial and error costs and a project schedule that could not meet the product development cycle. In addition, the short-circuit withstand current of the fuse is either too small, which results in the short-circuit withstand current being greater than the short-circuit withstand current of the fuse in the event of an extreme short circuit in the system, which in turn causes the fuse to explode and the energy storage system to catch fire, posing a safety risk; or the short-circuit withstand current of the fuse is either too large, which makes the product bulky and requires a larger space for design. If the space is too small, it may lead to insufficient electrical clearance and creepage distance, which also poses a safety risk. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of this, the present application proposes an energy storage container and a fuse adaptation method, which can verify the selection of fuses in advance from the overall perspective of the energy storage container, improve the reliability and rationality of short-circuit protection, reduce the safety risks caused by inadequate short-circuit protection, and at the same time improve the accuracy of fuse adaptation, so that the relevant components of short-circuit protection are smaller in size, thereby improving electrical safety while also reducing costs.

[0032] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a distributed energy storage container according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 4 As shown, the energy storage converter PCS has multiple branches, each branch is connected to a high voltage box 300. That is, the first short circuit protection unit and the second short circuit protection unit of the high voltage box 300 are both connected to a branch of the energy storage converter.
[0033] In one embodiment, a plurality of the first short-circuit protection units 301 are electrically connected to the first isolating switch, and a plurality of the second short-circuit protection units 303 are electrically connected to the second isolating switch, wherein when at least one battery cluster 400 is short-circuited, the processing unit 200 is used to calculate the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the nx battery clusters 400, and select the fuse in the first short-circuit protection unit 301 adapted to the energy storage container according to the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the nx battery clusters 400, where x is the number of battery clusters 400 that are short-circuited.
[0034] Figure 5 A schematic diagram showing a short circuit of a single combiner cabinet in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the short-circuit position is on one side of the battery cluster 400, indicated by an asterisk. Assuming that the number of battery clusters 400 connected to the busbar unit 100 is 6, when a busbar cabinet is provided in the energy storage container, the battery cluster 400 on the far right is short-circuited. According to Kirchhoff's law, the short-circuit withstand current flows through the busbar in the busbar cabinet to the short-circuit point of the branch where the faulty battery cluster 400 is located. At this time, the maximum short-circuit withstand current borne by the busbar in the busbar cabinet is the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of all other branches where no fault occurs, that is, the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the 5 clusters. Taking the example that each branch where the battery cluster 400 is located can withstand a short-circuit withstand current of 21kA, the maximum short-circuit withstand current borne by the busbar in the busbar cabinet is 21kA*5=105kA.
[0035] In one embodiment, the combiner unit 100 includes at least two combiner cabinets, the at least two combiner cabinets are arranged in parallel, and the plurality of high-voltage boxes 300 are electrically connected to one of the at least two combiner cabinets.
[0036] When a short circuit occurs in one of at least two of the combiner cabinets, the processing unit 200 is used to calculate the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the n battery clusters 400 , and select a fuse in the first short-circuit protection unit 301 adapted to the energy storage container according to the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the n battery clusters 400 .
[0037] Figure 6 A schematic diagram showing a short circuit in one of the multiple combiner cabinets in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 6 As shown, the busbar unit 100 includes a busbar cabinet 101 and a busbar cabinet 102, and a short circuit occurs in the busbar cabinet 102. Since the two busbar cabinets are arranged in parallel, according to Kirchhoff's law, the short-circuit withstand current flows through the main circuit of the busbar cabinet 101 to the short-circuit point of the busbar cabinet 102. At this time, the maximum short-circuit withstand current of the busbar is the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the six clusters, that is, 21kA*6=126kA.
[0038] When at least one battery cluster 400 is short-circuited, the processing unit 200 is used to calculate the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the 2n-x battery clusters 400, and select the fuse adapted to the energy storage container in the first short-circuit protection unit 301 according to the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the 2n-x battery clusters 400, where x is the number of battery clusters 400 that are short-circuited.
[0039] Figure 7 A schematic diagram showing a short circuit in one of the battery clusters of the multiple combiner cabinets of the embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the busbar unit 100 includes a busbar cabinet 101 and a busbar cabinet 102, and a short circuit occurs in the battery cluster 400 on the far right. Since the two busbar cabinets are arranged in parallel, according to Kirchhoff's law, the short-circuit withstand current of the other busbar cabinet 102 flows to the short-circuit point through the busbar cabinet 101, and the maximum short-circuit withstand current of the high-voltage box 300 is the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of 6 clusters plus the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of 5 clusters, a total of 11 clusters of short-circuit withstand currents, that is, 21kA*11=231kA.
[0040] In one embodiment, the battery cluster 400 includes a plurality of battery cells, and the processing unit 200 is further used to: obtain a correction coefficient of the short-circuit withstand current of the battery cell before selecting a fuse adapted to the energy storage container in the first short-circuit protection unit 301 according to the short-circuit withstand current; and determine the short-circuit withstand current according to the correction coefficient and the nominal withstand current of the battery cell.
[0041] For example, the cell model in the battery cluster 400 of the present application is LF628K. Taking this type of cell as an example, for a single cell, the short-circuit withstand current of the single cell can be expressed as: I1=U1 / R1=3.2V / 0.1mΩ=32kA. Among them, I1 is the short-circuit withstand current of the single cell, U1 is the rated voltage of the single cell, and R1 is the internal resistance of the single cell. The resistance of the single cell does not need to be corrected.
[0042] For a battery pack composed of this type of battery cells, the short-circuit withstand current of the battery pack can be expressed as: Ip = Up / Rp = (3.2 * 52) V / (0.1 * 52) mΩ = 32 kA. Among them, Ip is the short-circuit withstand current of a single battery pack, Up is the rated voltage of a single battery pack, and Rp is the internal resistance of a single battery pack. Since the measured data is less than 21 kA, the correction coefficient Kp = 32 kA / 21 kA is approximately equal to 1.53.
[0043] For a battery cluster 400 composed of multiple battery packs, the short-circuit withstand current of the battery cluster 400 can be expressed as: Ic = Uc / Rc = (3.2*416)V / (0.1*416)mΩ = 32kA. Where Ic is the short-circuit withstand current of a single cluster, Uc is the rated voltage of a single cluster, and Rc is the internal resistance of a single cluster. The cluster-level resistance correction factor is the same as that of the battery pack, which is approximately equal to 1.53. Therefore, the short-circuit withstand current can be corrected to Ic = 32kA / 1.53 = 21kA.
[0044] The present application also provides an energy storage system, which includes the energy storage container.
[0045] Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a fuse adaptation method according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the fuse adaptation method is applied to the energy storage container, and the fuse adaptation method includes:
[0046] Step S1: Obtaining the short-circuit withstand current of the battery cell;
[0047] In one embodiment, the short-circuit withstand current of the battery cell is determined according to the correction coefficient and the nominal withstand current of the battery cell. For example, the correction coefficient may be 1.53, and the nominal withstand current may be 32 kA. By multiplying the correction coefficient and the nominal withstand current of the battery cell, the short-circuit withstand current of the battery cell may be 21 kA.
[0048] Step S2: calculating the maximum short-circuit withstand current that the energy storage container can withstand according to the short-circuit withstand current and the short-circuit position in the energy storage container;
[0049] In one embodiment, each combiner cabinet in the combiner unit is provided with a second current detection unit for detecting whether the combiner cabinet is short-circuited. The processing unit determines the location of the combiner cabinet or battery cluster with a short circuit according to the current information detected by the first current detection unit and the current signal detected by the second current detection unit, and then calculates the maximum short-circuit withstand current that the energy storage container can withstand.
[0050] Among them, when at least one battery cluster 400 is short-circuited, the processing unit 200 is used to calculate the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of nx battery clusters 400, and select the fuse adapted to the energy storage container in the first short-circuit protection unit 301 according to the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the nx battery clusters 400, where x is the number of battery clusters 400 that are short-circuited.
[0051] For the architecture of multiple combiner cabinets, when a short circuit occurs in one of at least two combiner cabinets, the processing unit 200 is used to calculate the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the n battery clusters 400, and select the fuse in the first short-circuit protection unit 301 that is adapted to the energy storage container according to the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the n battery clusters 400.
[0052] For the architecture of multiple busbars, when at least one battery cluster 400 is short-circuited, the processing unit 200 is used to calculate the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the 2n-x battery clusters 400, and select the fuse adapted to the energy storage container in the first short-circuit protection unit 301 according to the sum of the short-circuit withstand currents of the 2n-x battery clusters 400, where x is the number of battery clusters 400 that are short-circuited.
[0053] Step S3: Selecting a fuse in the first short-circuit protection unit of the high-voltage box that is adapted to the energy storage container based on the maximum short-circuit withstand current that the energy storage container can withstand.
[0054] In one embodiment, the first short-circuit protection unit is provided with a plurality of fuses of different types. For example, when the maximum short-circuit withstand current that the energy storage container can withstand is calculated to be 126 kA, the fuse with the maximum short-circuit withstand current of 126 kA can be selected and connected in the first short-circuit protection unit through the first protection switch.
[0055] It should be noted that the second short-circuit protection unit may also be provided with a plurality of fuses of different types. The processing unit may also select a fuse in the second short-circuit protection unit of the high-voltage box adapted to the energy storage container based on the maximum short-circuit withstand current that the energy storage container can withstand. The working principle is the same as that of the first short-circuit protection unit and will not be described in detail.
[0056] In summary, by using the processing unit to detect the short-circuit withstand current of the branch where the high-voltage box is located when a short circuit occurs in the container, and selecting the fuse in the first short-circuit protection unit that is adapted to the energy storage container according to the short-circuit withstand current, the present application can verify the selection of the fuse in advance from the overall perspective of the energy storage container, improve the reliability and rationality of the short-circuit protection, reduce the safety risks caused by inadequate short-circuit protection, and at the same time improve the accuracy of fuse adaptation, so that the relevant components of the short-circuit protection are smaller in size, which improves electrical safety while also reducing costs.
