Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field related to life prediction of rechargeable batteries, and more specifically, relates to a low-temperature life extension device for a near-water source energy storage power station. Background Art

[0002] Lithium batteries have become the core of modern energy storage solutions and are widely used in electric vehicles, portable electronic devices and other fields. However, the performance of lithium batteries is significantly affected by environmental factors, especially temperature. Low temperature is widely regarded as the main negative factor affecting battery performance, and a large number of studies have explored the phenomenon of lithium battery capacity reduction and efficiency reduction in low temperature environments.

[0003] Existing research generally believes that low temperature environments inhibit the electrochemical reactions of lithium batteries, reduce the rate of ion migration, and lead to a decrease in battery capacity. Low temperature not only increases the internal resistance of the battery, but also causes the viscosity of the electrolyte to increase, further affecting ion conduction and ultimately reducing the discharge efficiency of the battery. Studies have shown that the capacity loss of lithium batteries in environments below 0°C can reach 15% to 30%, and at lower temperatures, the loss may be as high as 40% to 60%. These phenomena are generally considered to be inevitable, forcing many battery management systems to use insulation materials, heating devices or preheating technologies to mitigate the negative effects of low temperatures.

[0004] In order to deal with this problem, many research and engineering solutions are focused on avoiding low temperature environments through insulation, heating or preheating. For example, the domestic solution to the low temperature problem of electric vehicle power batteries is mainly external heating, but this heating system has high energy consumption, long time, low efficiency and poor effect. Recently, in order to avoid the negative impact of low temperature environment on batteries, the team of Academician Sun Fengchun of Beijing Institute of Technology has developed a technology for internal heating of the battery body. A layer of metal nickel platinum sheet is added to the existing lithium battery. After connecting the power supply, the battery can be quickly heated.

[0005] However, this inherent cognition ignores the positive impact of low temperature environment on battery life. However, we found that low temperature environment not only does not shorten the battery life, but helps to delay the battery aging process and significantly extend the battery life. When lithium batteries operate in low temperature environments, their internal chemical reaction rates and aging rates will slow down, so their cumulative service life will increase significantly. This discovery is extremely innovative and opens up a new field of extending battery life in low temperature environments. This discovery is not only a theoretical breakthrough, but also opens up new directions for practical applications.

[0006] Based on this discovery, we proposed a new design concept for energy storage power stations: actively utilizing the life extension effects of low temperature environments, rather than just passively avoiding the negative effects of low temperature. Although traditional temperature control methods, such as heating devices, insulation materials, and preheating technologies, can effectively avoid the negative effects of low temperature on battery performance, these methods are essentially to "avoid" the generation of low temperature environments and keep the battery within an ideal temperature range. Our innovative solution does the opposite, actively embracing low temperature environments, utilizing the life extension effects that low temperature environments can bring, and significantly extending the cumulative service life of the battery.

[0007] Our innovative discovery overturns the general public's common perception of lithium batteries operating at low temperatures: avoid operating lithium batteries in low temperature environments.

[0008] More importantly, since we have found that low temperatures can significantly slow down the battery aging process, thereby extending the overall service life of the battery. Therefore, our solution proposes a new application perspective, that is, to use low temperature environments as a favorable condition for optimizing battery service life, especially in long-term, large-scale energy storage applications. By utilizing these natural low-temperature environments, such as submarine energy storage stations and underground energy storage stations, we can not only reduce the energy consumption of cooling and temperature control systems, but also significantly extend the service life of batteries and reduce the problem of battery degradation caused by high temperatures. This innovative solution not only effectively reduces the operating cost of energy storage systems by fully utilizing the potential of low temperatures, but also improves the safety and reliability of the system and reduces the risk of thermal runaway caused by high temperatures. Summary of the invention

[0009] In the field of energy storage, traditional energy storage power stations often rely on artificial cooling systems to keep the temperature of the equipment stable to ensure the efficient operation of the battery system. However, this cooling method often leads to higher energy consumption and additional operating costs. In contrast, this case proposes an innovative solution that significantly reduces heat dissipation consumption and extends the service life of the energy storage power station by directly or indirectly utilizing the low temperature environment in an external natural cold source.

[0010] This solution is not only highly technologically innovative, but also has significant advantages in cost-effectiveness. Compared with traditional submarine energy storage power station solutions, the technical architecture of this case can effectively reduce the cost and the demand for pressure-resistant equipment through a unique pipeline introduction method, thus bringing a more economical solution.

[0011] In general, our research proposes a new low-temperature management solution for lithium batteries, which not only breaks through the traditional understanding of the negative effects of low temperature, but also opens up new areas for extending battery life in low-temperature environments. Compared with traditional temperature control strategies, our innovative solution not only solves the problem of capacity decline caused by low temperature, but also actively utilizes low-temperature environments to extend the service life of batteries, thereby providing a more economical, safe and sustainable solution for large-scale energy storage systems. This discovery not only has important academic value, but also has broad practical application prospects, especially in extreme environments such as submarine energy storage stations and underground energy storage stations. The use of external natural cold sources will become the key to optimizing future energy systems. Through this innovative solution, we hope to lead a new direction in battery management in low-temperature environments and promote technological progress and application innovation in the field of energy storage.

[0012] Traditional energy storage power stations usually regulate battery temperature through built-in cooling systems. Batteries are prone to overheating under high load conditions, especially in high temperature environments, which affects battery performance and life. Therefore, the cooling system often consumes a lot of energy to maintain the appropriate operating temperature of the battery. This energy consumption not only increases the operating cost of the energy storage power station, but also accelerates the aging of the battery and cooling system, reducing the long-term reliability of the system.

[0013] Although submarine energy storage power stations also try to use external natural cold sources for cooling, their operation is relatively complex and costly. Submarine energy storage power stations place equipment directly in seawater and use the low temperature of seawater to achieve cooling. Due to the high pressure of seawater, this requires the equipment to have a strong pressure resistance and a specially designed pressure-resistant shell to ensure that the equipment can operate safely in a deep-sea environment. This design not only increases the complexity of the equipment, but also leads to high manufacturing and maintenance costs, which greatly restricts the economic feasibility of submarine energy storage power stations.

[0014] This case uses an innovative technical architecture and pipeline introduction to utilize the external natural cold source environment. The core advantage of this solution is that it can introduce cooling medium from a low-temperature environment and transport the coolant to the energy storage system through pipelines, thereby achieving the effect of lowering the battery temperature. The biggest advantage of this design is that the energy storage power station itself does not need to be placed in a low-temperature environment, but can be placed on land. In this way, the system does not need to design an additional pressure-resistant shell that can withstand seawater pressure, which significantly reduces the complexity and cost of equipment manufacturing.

[0015] In addition, since the energy storage equipment does not need to be placed on the seabed, the implementation of this solution also greatly simplifies the maintenance and modification of the equipment. Traditional submarine energy storage power stations often face the maintenance challenge of equipment being in a high-pressure environment for a long time, and once the equipment needs to be upgraded or replaced, complex submarine operations must be carried out. The solution in this case can be easily connected to the cold source through pipelines, and the existing equipment can be modified, which reduces the difficulty of maintenance and improves the flexibility and adaptability of the system.

[0016] Compared with submarine energy storage power stations, this solution significantly reduces construction costs. Submarine energy storage power stations need to withstand the huge pressure of seawater, so the manufacturing cost of equipment and pressure-resistant materials is very high. In order to ensure that the equipment can operate safely for a long time, special structures need to be designed to prevent corrosion, leakage and other problems, further increasing maintenance and operation costs. In addition, the technical level required for the construction and operation of submarine energy storage power stations is also high, resulting in high overall construction costs.

[0017] In contrast, the pipeline introduction scheme in this case can transport the cooling medium through equipment on land, avoiding the pressure of the high-pressure environment on the equipment under the sea. Through reasonable pipeline design and coolant selection, the cold source in the external low-temperature environment can be effectively introduced into the system, and low-temperature cooling can be achieved. Due to the separate design of the cooling system and the energy storage equipment body, the production and maintenance costs of the equipment are significantly reduced. The method of introducing cooling medium through pipelines not only reduces the demand for pressure-resistant equipment, but also can flexibly adjust the scale of the cooling system, further reducing the initial construction and long-term operating costs of the system.

[0018] Another outstanding advantage of this solution is its good environmental adaptability. In different geographical environments, low-temperature environments are widely distributed and relatively stable, and suitable low-temperature sources can be selected for cooling in a larger range. In contrast, submarine energy storage power stations can only rely on specific marine areas and are restricted by the marine environment. This means that this solution has a wider scope of application, can be implemented in more areas, and has higher sustainability.

[0019] In addition, since low temperature environment helps to delay the aging process of batteries, this solution can further improve the long-term economic benefits of energy storage power stations. By extending the service life of batteries, not only can the frequency of equipment replacement be reduced, but also the performance degradation caused by battery degradation can be reduced, thereby reducing the maintenance and replacement costs of the system.

[0020] This solution can be connected to the external low-temperature environment through pipelines, and the energy storage power station itself does not need to be directly exposed to the low-temperature environment. This makes it easier to combine and transform existing equipment. For example, the existing energy storage power station can be cooled by external natural cold sources through simple technical transformation without the need to rebuild submarine facilities, reducing the overall technical difficulty and economic burden.

[0021] The energy storage power station cooling solution proposed in this case, which uses pipelines to introduce external natural cold sources, has significant innovation and cost advantages compared to traditional energy storage power stations and submarine energy storage power stations. By placing the energy storage power station body on land instead of directly on the seabed, the impact of seawater pressure on the equipment is avoided, the cost is greatly reduced, and existing equipment can be easily modified and maintained. At the same time, this solution is not only cost-effective, but also can extend the service life of the battery and improve the long-term reliability and economy of the energy storage power station. Therefore, this solution has important practical significance in terms of cost saving, efficiency improvement and sustainable development, and is expected to have a far-reaching impact on the field of energy storage.

[0022] In view of this, the present invention discloses a low-temperature life extension device for a near-water source energy storage power station, comprising: Energy storage cabinet module, battery module, heat flow pipe, external natural cooling source; The energy storage cabinet module includes a plurality of battery modules; the battery module is responsible for storing and releasing electric energy and is the basic unit and core part of the energy storage cabinet module; The heat flow pipe is arranged in a zigzag manner between the battery modules; A coolant circulates inside the heat flow pipe, and the coolant can exchange heat with the battery module; The external natural cold source includes sea water, lake water, river water, river water, well water, groundwater, and spring water. Such low-temperature water bodies have a wide range of sources and relatively stable temperatures. The battery module adopts a passive heat dissipation design, which can exchange heat with an external natural cold source using a heat flow pipe as a medium.

[0023] It should be noted that the heat exchange discussed here is bidirectional; if the battery module temperature is higher, heat will be transferred from the battery module to the coolant; or if the coolant temperature is higher, heat will be transferred from the coolant to the battery module. The subsequent mention of "heat exchange" also has the same meaning.

[0024] The focus of this solution is to use external natural cold sources (such as low-temperature water bodies such as sea water, lake water, and river water) to provide passive heat dissipation for battery modules, thereby extending the service life of the battery. The energy storage cabinet module contains multiple battery modules, each of which is responsible for storing and releasing electrical energy and is the core unit in the energy storage system. Through the tortuous arrangement of the heat flow pipe, the coolant circulates in it and exchanges heat with the battery modules, thereby effectively reducing the operating temperature of the battery and preventing aging and performance degradation caused by overheating of the battery. The coolant in the heat flow pipe takes away the heat generated by the battery through heat exchange with the battery module, and transfers the heat to the external natural cold source. The external natural cold source provides a stable low-temperature environment, further improving the cooling efficiency.

[0025] Core advantage 1: The use of passive heat dissipation technology avoids over-reliance on active cooling equipment driven by electricity, reducing the complexity and maintenance costs of the system. Core advantage 2: By introducing external natural cold sources into the energy storage power station cooling system, the service life of the battery module is significantly extended. Core advantage 3: This solution does not require the energy storage power station equipment to be placed on the seabed, thereby avoiding the huge pressure of seawater and the need for pressure-resistant equipment, and reducing the complexity and cost of equipment manufacturing. Core advantage 4: The energy storage power station can be combined with the existing system through simple technical transformation, and flexibly utilize the external low-temperature environment for cooling, reducing the cost and technical difficulty of new facilities. Core advantage 5: The application scenarios are not limited to the seabed. Suitable cold sources can be selected in different geographical environments. There are more low-temperature environments available, such as seawater, lake water, river water, etc., with strong adaptability and a wide range of application scenarios.

[0026] Optionally, the coolant exchanges heat with the battery module using the wall of the heat flow pipe as a medium.

[0027] Optionally, the energy storage cabinet module is equipped with an electrical control and monitoring system, which is intended to achieve efficient storage, release and management of electrical energy.

[0028] Optionally, a heat exchanger is provided at the end of the heat flow pipe.

[0029] Optionally, the heat exchanger at the end of the heat flow pipe can be directly placed in an external natural cooling source, and the heat flow pipe exchanges heat with the external natural cooling source using the heat exchanger as a medium. It should be noted that the heat exchange discussed here can be bidirectional.

[0030] Optionally, the battery module exists in the form of a single battery, or is assembled from a plurality of battery monomers in series or in parallel, or is reasonably combined from a plurality of battery cells or battery packs to form a larger-scale battery cluster.

[0031] This solution effectively transfers the heat generated by the battery module to an external natural cold source, such as seawater, lake water and other low-temperature water bodies, by setting a heat exchanger at the end of the heat flow pipe. This not only improves the heat exchange efficiency, but also avoids the consumption of additional energy. The heat exchanger is in direct contact with the natural cold source and can dissipate heat quickly, ensuring that the battery works in a low-temperature environment and significantly extending its service life. This passive heat dissipation method reduces the complexity and operating costs of the system and is particularly suitable for large-scale energy storage systems. In addition, the scalable design of the battery module allows the system to be flexibly adjusted according to demand to adapt to energy storage projects of different sizes. This innovative cooling and thermal management method can improve the overall stability and reliability of the battery system, especially in long-term, high-load usage scenarios, and has great economic and environmental significance.

[0032] Optionally, the low-temperature life extension equipment further includes an internal and external heat exchange device; Optionally, the internal and external heat exchange device as a whole serves as a medium for heat exchange, and can realize heat exchange between the heat flow pipeline and the external natural cooling source; it should be noted that the heat exchange discussed here can be bidirectional.

[0033] Optionally, a cold flow pipe is provided in the internal and external heat exchange device.

[0034] Optionally, a cold flow pipe is provided in the internal and external heat exchange device, and an external natural cold source can flow directly therein (the cold flow pipe here may be open).

[0035] Optionally, the cold flow pipe and the hot flow pipe share the same heat exchanger, and the cold flow pipe exchanges heat with the hot flow pipe using the heat exchanger as a medium. It should be noted that the heat exchange discussed here can be bidirectional.

[0036] Although the cold flow pipe and the hot flow pipe exchange heat in the same heat exchanger, the media flowing through them (coolant and external natural cooling source) have no direct physical contact. Heat is transferred through the wall of the heat exchanger or other separation media, which ensures the isolation between the two fluids and prevents them from mixing.

[0037] The advantage and significance of this solution lies in the realization of efficient and safe heat exchange through ingenious structural design. The cold flow pipe and the hot flow pipe share the same heat exchanger, and the separation medium of the heat exchanger is used to achieve two-way heat transfer, but the physical isolation of the two media is maintained. This design effectively avoids the possible mixing risk of coolant and external natural cold source, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the system. At the same time, the open design of the cold flow pipe allows the external natural cold source to flow directly, further improving the heat exchange efficiency, especially under conditions with large temperature differences. In addition, the characteristics of two-way heat exchange enhance the adaptability of the system under different environmental conditions. It can be used for both cooling and heating, which provides a guarantee for the stable operation of energy storage power stations under various climatic conditions. This efficient, flexible and safe thermal management system can significantly extend the service life of equipment and reduce maintenance costs, and is of great significance in energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0038] Optionally, a filter is provided on the cold flow pipe in the internal and external heat exchange device to remove debris or suspended particles in the cold flow pipe.

[0039] Optionally, the structural arrangement of the internal and external heat exchange device also includes that the cold flow pipeline is closed and has a heat exchange fluid circulating flow.

[0040] Optionally, the structural setting of the internal and external heat exchange device also includes a heat exchanger; specifically, the cold flow pipe and the hot flow pipe share the same heat exchanger, and the cold flow pipe uses this heat exchanger as a medium to exchange heat with the hot flow pipe; another heat exchanger is also provided on the cold flow pipe and is directly placed in an external natural cold source, and the cold flow pipe exchanges heat with the external natural cold source through this heat exchanger; it should be noted that the heat exchange discussed here can be bidirectional.

[0041] Optionally, the structural setting of the internal and external heat exchange device also includes a heat exchanger; specifically, two heat exchangers are arranged on the cold flow pipe; the first heat exchanger on the cold flow pipe is directly placed in the external natural cold source, and the cold flow pipe exchanges heat with the external natural cold source through this heat exchanger; the other heat exchanger on the cold flow pipe is connected to the heat exchanger on the hot flow pipe, and the cold flow pipe exchanges heat with the hot flow pipe through the two connected heat exchangers; it should be noted that the heat exchange discussed here can be bidirectional.

[0042] This solution achieves efficient multi-level heat transfer and system isolation through innovative heat exchanger layout and closed cold flow pipe configuration. The cold flow pipe and the hot flow pipe share the heat exchanger to achieve heat exchange in the form of a medium, effectively avoiding direct contact between different media and ensuring system safety and stability. At the same time, by additionally setting a heat exchanger on the cold flow pipe and placing it directly into an external natural cold source, a two-stage heat exchange path is constructed: the first stage is to exchange heat with the natural cold source through the cold flow pipe, and the second stage is to achieve deep heat transfer through the cold flow pipe and the hot flow pipe. The closed cold flow pipe design combined with the circulating heat exchange fluid further improves the temperature control accuracy and heat transfer efficiency of the system.

[0043] Optionally, the coolant is pure water, an organic medium, or a low-temperature water body in an external natural cold source; the heat exchange fluid is pure water, an organic medium, or a low-temperature water body in an external natural cold source. Its innovation lies in that the system uses different types of coolants and heat exchange fluids (such as pure water, an organic medium, or a low-temperature water body in an external natural cold source), providing flexible options for heat exchange.

[0044] Optionally, any of the heat exchangers can be in distributed contact with other heat exchangers in a plurality of individuals to improve heat exchange efficiency.

[0045] Optionally, any of the heat exchangers can be in distributed contact with the low-temperature water body in a plurality of individuals to improve heat exchange efficiency.

[0046] Optionally, a small heat exchanger is provided between the heat flow pipe and the battery module to enhance heat exchange between the heat flow pipe and the battery module.

[0047] Optionally, the types of the heat exchanger or small heat exchanger include: shell and tube heat exchanger, plate heat exchanger, fin heat exchanger, shell and tube heat exchanger, gas heat exchanger, condenser, evaporator, spiral plate heat exchanger, plate-fin heat exchanger, microchannel heat exchanger, heat pipe heat exchanger, shell and tube heat exchanger, rotary heat exchanger, double tube sheet heat exchanger, phase change heat exchanger.

The advantages are high temperature and high pressure resistance, strong structure and easy maintenance; the plate heat exchanger uses the thin layer fluid channel between the corrugated plates to exchange heat, with high heat transfer efficiency and compact structure; the fin heat exchanger increases the heat transfer area by adding fins to the surface of the pipe, significantly improving the heat transfer efficiency on the air or gas side; the shell and tube heat exchanger exchanges heat through the fluid in the coaxial inner and outer tubes, with a simple structure and low manufacturing cost; the gas heat exchanger is designed for high-temperature gas and is transferred through the pipe or plates to exchange heat between gas and other media; the condenser releases latent heat by cooling steam and condensing it into liquid, and has high condensation efficiency; the evaporator achieves cooling or heating through liquid absorption and evaporation, and has high heat transfer efficiency; the spiral plate heat exchanger uses the turbulence effect in the spiral channel to achieve efficient heat exchange, and is particularly suitable for processing viscous fluids or liquids containing suspended matter; the plate-fin heat exchanger uses plates and fins in a laminated structure to achieve heat exchange, and is light, compact and has high heat transfer efficiency; the microchannel heat exchanger increases the surface area and heat transfer coefficient through miniaturized channel design, High heat exchange efficiency; heat pipe heat exchangers release heat to the condensing end after the working fluid absorbs heat at the evaporation end and vaporizes, with strong heat transfer capacity and rapid response; as a form of shell and tube heat exchanger, the shell and tube heat exchanger has a compact structure and is suitable for large flow conditions; the rotary heat exchanger realizes alternating heat transfer between fluids through the rotation of the rotor and is suitable for continuous operation; the double tube sheet heat exchanger isolates different media through double tube sheets to prevent leakage and improve safety; the phase change heat exchanger is a type of equipment that uses the absorption or release of latent heat by substances during phase change to exchange heat, usually used for large temperature changes or Scenarios requiring efficient heat exchange; common phase change heat exchangers include phase change condensers, phase change evaporators and phase change reboilers; phase change condensers cool steam to condense it into liquid, releasing latent heat in the process, and have the ability to cool efficiently; phase change evaporators absorb heat from liquid and evaporate it into gas, absorbing latent heat, which is used in refrigeration or heating processes and has high heat transfer efficiency; phase change reboilers heat liquid to evaporate it into gas; these heat exchangers effectively improve the utilization rate of thermal energy through latent heat transfer in the phase change process, and are particularly suitable for large-scale energy conversion and cooling systems.

[0049] This solution demonstrates innovation in the layout and structure of the heat exchanger, aiming to improve the heat exchange efficiency and optimize the heat dissipation performance of the battery module through distributed contact. Multiple individual heat exchangers are in distributed contact with other heat exchangers or low-temperature water bodies, which can greatly increase the overall heat exchange area, thereby accelerating the heat transfer process and avoiding local overheating problems. This distributed design can distribute heat more evenly, reduce the phenomenon of uneven cold and heat, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency and stability of the system. In order to further enhance the heat exchange effect, one or more small heat exchangers are set between the heat flow pipe and the battery, which helps to achieve faster heat exchange and improve the cooling response speed of the battery, especially under high load or fast charging and discharging. It can effectively control the battery temperature and prevent performance degradation or safety problems caused by overheating. The diversity of heat exchanger types is also a highlight of this design, covering a variety of structures such as shell and tube, plate, fin, etc. The most suitable type of heat exchanger can be selected according to specific application requirements, so as to achieve more efficient and flexible heat exchange. Different types of heat exchangers provide a wider range of application scenarios to meet the cooling needs in different working environments, further enhancing the adaptability and customizability of the system.

[0051] This solution further lists design options for multiple battery types and heat exchanger types, aiming to provide diverse solutions for thermal management of battery systems. First of all, the types of batteries range from traditional lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries to new lithium-based, sodium-based, aluminum-based batteries and other high-tech batteries (such as graphene-based, sulfur-based batteries, etc.). This diverse battery selection can meet different energy storage needs, environmental conditions and application scenarios.

[0055] This solution provides a solution to improve thermal management efficiency and energy storage capacity through multi-channel layout and modular design. First, the use of multi-channel cold flow pipes and / or hot flow pipes and connecting them with multiple heat exchangers or small heat exchangers can effectively enhance the efficiency of heat exchange. This design method can achieve more efficient heat conduction and heat dissipation, especially suitable for high-power, high-density battery systems. Under the distributed contact between multiple small heat exchangers and battery modules, it can ensure that the temperature of each battery cell or battery pack is more evenly controlled, reduce local overheating, and thus improve the stability and safety of the entire system. Secondly, the modular layout of the energy storage cabinet module provides the system with higher flexibility and scalability. According to actual needs, users can increase or decrease the number of energy storage cabinets, which enables the system to adjust according to changes in energy storage needs, optimize space utilization and cost-effectiveness, and improve the scalability and adaptability of the energy storage system. Overall, these designs not only improve thermal management efficiency, but also provide important technical guarantees for the flexible configuration and expansion of energy storage systems.

[0056] Optionally, the external natural cold source also includes underground cavities, underground mines, geothermal heat exchange layers, glaciers, permafrost, forest surface cover, high mountain cold air resources, desert night radiation cooling resources, and caves, wind tunnels or air flow channels formed by natural terrain.

Through reasonable heat exchange design and energy management system, the cooling efficiency of the energy storage power station can be further improved to achieve the goals of extending the life of equipment and saving energy and reducing consumption in low-temperature environments; in this case, low-temperature water bodies can also include, on the basis of further extension: low-temperature gas, low-temperature gas-liquid mixture, low-temperature liquid fluid (such as liquid nitrogen, liquefied air, etc.), low-temperature solid-liquid mixture, low-temperature solid medium (such as ice, snow layer), and other low-temperature media with cooling effect. These low-temperature media can exchange heat with energy storage equipment through conduction, convection, radiation, etc.

[0057] The advantage of this design is that by introducing a variety of natural cold sources and low-temperature media, it is possible to select the cooling solution that best suits the area where the energy storage power station is located according to local conditions, improve the flexibility and adaptability of the system, and use a variety of heat exchange methods such as conduction, convection, and radiation to effectively enhance the cooling effect, reduce thermal stress and temperature fluctuations during equipment operation, and extend the service life of key equipment. At the same time, it reduces dependence on high-energy artificial refrigeration systems, thereby achieving the goal of energy saving and consumption reduction; in addition, this method makes full use of natural resources and is more coordinated with the ecological environment, which not only reduces construction and operation costs, but also improves the reliability and sustainability of energy storage power stations under extreme climatic conditions, providing a strong guarantee for the optimization of overall system performance.

At the same time, the energy storage cabinet module is arranged near the external natural cold source. By directly using the low-temperature water in the external natural cold source for heat dissipation, it not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency, but also reduces the energy input demand and achieves the energy-saving goal. In addition, the added wastewater treatment module effectively treats the heat dissipation drainage to prevent the cooling process from causing pollution or abnormal temperature effects on the natural ecosystem, reflecting the sustainable development concept of system design.

[0066] Optionally, the heat flow pipe is provided with a temperature sensor and / or a small pump, which can be used to adjust the flow rate of the coolant.

[0067] Optionally, the cold flow pipeline is provided with a temperature sensor and / or a small pump, which can be used to adjust the flow rate of the heat exchange fluid.

[0068] Optionally, the energy storage cabinet module is also provided with a real-time temperature control system to dynamically adjust the flow rate or flow of the coolant to maintain the actual temperature of the battery module at the life extension temperature value T.

[0069] Optionally, the energy storage cabinet module is also provided with a real-time temperature control system to dynamically adjust the flow rate or flow of the heat exchange fluid to assist in maintaining the actual temperature of the battery module at the life extension temperature value T.

[0070] Optionally, the real-time temperature control system can also monitor the temperature of the coolant, the heat exchange liquid, the temperature of each battery module, the temperature of each heat exchanger, and the temperature difference between these temperatures, so as to adjust the temperature based on this.

[0071] This solution adds temperature sensors and real-time temperature control systems to provide a more intelligent means for temperature control management of battery modules. The system monitors the temperature of the coolant, heat exchange fluid, and the surface and inside of the battery module in real time, and dynamically adjusts the flow rate or flow of the coolant and heat exchange fluid to ensure that the battery module always operates within the optimal life extension temperature range. The temperature control system can also accurately control the temperature difference change, optimize the heat distribution, improve the response speed and reliability of the entire heat dissipation system, and provide efficient guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the battery module. For example, when the temperature of the battery module exceeds a certain temperature, the flow rate of the coolant is increased to strengthen the heat exchange between the battery module and the coolant; or when the temperature of the coolant exceeds a certain temperature, the flow rate of the heat exchange fluid is increased to strengthen the heat exchange between the coolant and the heat exchange fluid; or when the temperature difference between the battery module and the coolant exceeds a certain temperature, the flow rate of the coolant is increased to strengthen the heat exchange between the battery module and the coolant. Alternatively, when it is detected that the temperature of a battery module inside the energy storage system is too high, the system can also automatically increase the coolant flow rate at the corresponding position to reduce heat accumulation and keep the battery in the best working condition. The system can also automatically reduce or completely stop the flow rate of the heat exchange fluid, or switch to heating mode by monitoring the ambient temperature to cope with a sudden drop in external temperature.

[0072] Optionally, the life extension temperature value T refers to a temperature value. By controlling the operating temperature of the battery module near the life extension temperature value T, the cumulative service life of the battery module can be effectively extended; the steps for determining the life extension temperature value T are as follows: first, according to the typical usage scenarios of the target battery, select a temperature below the optimal operating temperature generally recognized in the industry as the life extension temperature value T; secondly, based on the use environment of the target battery, determine the expected temperature variation range, and use the temperature below the average value of this range as the life extension temperature value T.

[0073] Optionally, if according to the needs of actual application, there is no need to strictly ensure that the surface or internal temperature of the battery module is always maintained at the life extension temperature value T and remains constant, the flow rate or flow of the heat exchange liquid or coolant can be adjusted through the real-time temperature control system to keep the surface or internal temperature of the battery module within the temperature range T_range near the life extension temperature value T.

[0074] This solution clarifies the definition of the life extension temperature value T and its control method. By combining scientific calculations with actual application needs, a value below the optimal operating temperature is selected as the life extension temperature value, thereby effectively extending the cumulative service life of the battery. At the same time, the real-time temperature control system can flexibly adjust the temperature to the life extension temperature value T or its nearby temperature range T_range, so that the equipment can achieve precise temperature control according to needs in actual applications.

[0077] Optionally, the specific setting of T_range is based on a fixed temperature size. Specifically, the temperature range is set to ±0.001℃, ±0.002℃, ±0.004℃, ±0.008℃, ±0.016℃, ±0.032℃, ±0.064℃, ±0.128℃, ±0.256℃, ±0.512℃, ±1℃, ±2℃, ±4℃, ±8℃, ±16℃, ±32℃, ±64℃, ±128℃, ±256℃, and ±512℃ of the life extension temperature value T.

[0078] Optionally, the specific setting of T_range is based on percentage. Specifically, the temperature range is set to ±0.001%, ±0.002%, ±0.004%, ±0.008%, ±0.016%, ±0.032%, ±0.064%, ±0.128%, ±0.256%, ±0.512%, ±1%, ±2%, ±4%, ±8%, ±16%, ±32%, ±64%, ±128%, ±256%, and ±512% of the life extension temperature T.

[0079] This solution further optimizes the definition of the life extension temperature value and its range. For battery modules of different types and specifications, users are allowed to adjust the temperature control range according to actual needs, ranging from -50°C to 50°C and its refined upper and lower floating ranges. In addition, users can choose a fixed range or a percentage-based temperature control solution. This flexible control method greatly enhances the adaptability of the device, enabling it to meet the needs of refined temperature control in different usage scenarios.

[0080] Optionally, when the water quality is poor or the cooling effect is weakened, alternative measures are taken to ensure that the battery module is maintained at the life extension temperature T.

[0089] This solution introduces a heat pump system as an auxiliary heat dissipation technology, which can effectively supplement the heat dissipation capacity, especially in the case of extremely high temperatures or weakened cooling effects. The heat pump system achieves low-energy and high-efficiency heat dissipation through the synergy of core components such as evaporators, compressors, and condensers.

Calendar life refers to the period of time from the beginning of use of a battery to complete failure or significant performance degradation, usually in years. Even if the battery has not been charged and discharged many times, the capacity and performance of the battery will gradually decline over time due to chemical reactions, environmental factors (such as temperature, humidity, etc.), and storage conditions. In addition to these two common life assessment methods, the battery service life assessment can be further refined according to different application scenarios and usage patterns.

[0160] Cumulative discharge life: refers to the total amount of electricity discharged from the battery from the beginning of use to complete failure or significant performance degradation. It focuses on the total amount of energy actually provided by the battery, not just the number of charge and discharge cycles. The cumulative discharge life can more comprehensively reflect the discharge of the battery under different conditions of use, and is usually used to evaluate the performance degradation of the battery under heavy load use.

[0161] Cumulative charge life: refers to the total amount of electricity charged into the battery from the beginning of use to complete failure or significant performance degradation. It focuses on the total amount of electricity in the battery charging process, not just the number of charging cycles. Similar to the cumulative discharge life, the cumulative charge life helps evaluate the performance loss that the battery may suffer during the charging process.

[0162] Cumulative throughput life: refers to the total charge and discharge volume of the battery from the beginning of use to complete failure or significant performance degradation, that is, the sum of the charge and discharge volume. This indicator comprehensively considers the energy in and out of the battery throughout its entire use cycle and can evaluate the overall efficiency and durability of the battery.

[0163] Cumulative mileage life: For electric vehicles or similar applications, cumulative mileage life refers to the cumulative mileage of the battery from the beginning of use to complete failure or significant performance degradation. This indicator can effectively reflect the durability and performance maintenance of the battery in actual applications, especially under high-intensity cycle use.

[0164] In the battery life assessment mentioned above, it is worth emphasizing the impact of random incomplete charging and discharging. In actual use, batteries often do not undergo a complete cycle every time they are charged and discharged, but are often in a partial charge and discharge state. This random incomplete charging and discharging situation is common in electric vehicles, energy storage systems or mobile devices in daily use. The depth and frequency of charging and discharging are affected by different load requirements and usage habits. Although the standard cycle life is usually defined based on complete charging and discharging, in real applications, the use of batteries is often a combination of partial charge and discharge cycles, so indicators such as cumulative discharge, cumulative charge and cumulative throughput become particularly important in this context. Random incomplete charging and discharging may cause the battery to experience performance degradation at a relatively low number of cycles, especially if the depth of the charging and discharging process is too large or too small. Due to the inconsistent degree and frequency of charging and discharging, these incomplete cycles will have different effects on the battery degradation mode, so the evaluation of battery performance must take into account these actual operating conditions, rather than relying solely on idealized complete charge and discharge cycles. Therefore, under the condition of random incomplete charging and discharging, the cumulative charge amount, cumulative discharge amount, cumulative throughput and other life evaluation indicators can more comprehensively reflect the performance and degradation rate of the battery in the actual use environment.

[0165] Optionally, if according to the needs of actual application, there is no need to strictly ensure that the surface or internal temperature of the battery module is always maintained at the life extension temperature value T and remains constant, the flow rate or flow of the heat exchange liquid or coolant can be adjusted by a real-time temperature control system to keep the surface or internal temperature of the battery module 103 within the temperature range T_range near the life extension temperature value T.

[0174] Optionally, a compressor 404, a condenser 403, an expansion valve 402 and an evaporator 401 are sequentially connected to the heat pump pipeline 400 along the circulation direction.

[0179] Example 1 Application of low temperature life extension equipment in a near water source energy storage power station: In this embodiment, a near water energy storage power station is located in a cold northern region and is used for large-scale power storage and regulation. In order to extend the service life of the battery module, the low temperature life extension equipment in this patent is used.

[0180] The near-water energy storage power station contains multiple energy storage cabinet modules, each of which contains multiple battery modules. The battery modules are connected to the cooling system through heat flow pipes. The coolant in the heat flow pipes circulates between the battery modules, effectively removing the heat generated by the battery modules during the discharge process. The heat is released to the external natural cold source - the lake water - through a heat exchanger at the end of the heat flow pipe.

[0181] In winter, the lake water temperature is low, so the coolant in the heat flow pipe exchanges heat with the lake water through the heat exchanger to ensure that the battery module is in a stable low-temperature environment and extend the service life of the battery. The system is also equipped with internal and external heat exchange devices to ensure heat exchange efficiency, and can still effectively cool down even if the water quality or flow rate changes slightly.

[0182] In addition, the real-time temperature control system can automatically adjust the flow rate of the coolant to ensure that the battery module operates near the life extension temperature T, thereby maximizing the service life of the battery module.

[0183] Example 2: A near-water energy storage power station with heat pump assisted heat dissipation: In this example, the near-water energy storage power station is located in an area with extreme climate, with drastic temperature changes and high cooling requirements. In order to ensure stable operation of the battery module under low temperature conditions and further extend the service life of the battery, a heat pump system is used as an auxiliary heat dissipation device.

[0184] In this system, the heat flow pipe exchanges heat with an external natural cold source (such as groundwater) through a heat exchanger. In order to cope with the situation where the temperature of the external natural cold source is too low to meet the cooling demand due to cold weather, the system automatically starts the heat pump system. The heat pump system circulates through a loop consisting of an evaporator, compressor, and condenser to enhance the cooling effect and ensure that the battery module temperature remains within the optimal life extension range.

[0185] Through the real-time monitoring system, the heat pump system can intelligently adjust the coolant flow rate according to the temperature changes of the battery module, thereby ensuring that the system still works efficiently in a cold environment and avoiding the energy waste problem faced by traditional cooling systems.

[0186] Example 3 Low temperature life extension equipment for near-water energy storage power stations in marine environments: This example is applicable to near-water energy storage power stations in marine environments. Due to the special properties and high salinity of seawater, the energy storage power station uses energy storage cabinet modules made of corrosion-resistant materials, and special designs are used to ensure that the equipment can operate stably for a long time.

[0187] The energy storage cabinet modules are arranged in an area close to the coastline, using seawater as an external natural cold source, and heat exchange is performed through the cold flow pipes in the internal and external heat exchange devices and the coolant in the hot flow pipes. The low-temperature water in the cold flow pipe flows into the heat exchanger after being processed by the filter, exchanging heat with the coolant in the hot flow pipe, and finally releasing the heat generated by the battery module into the seawater.

[0188] This solution can fully utilize the low temperature advantage of seawater to achieve efficient heat dissipation without increasing additional energy consumption. The design of internal and external heat exchange devices ensures that seawater will not pollute or corrode the cooling system, thereby extending the service life of the battery module.

[0189] Example 4: Low temperature life extension system of modular near-water energy storage power station: The near-water energy storage power station in this example adopts a modular design, and the number of energy storage cabinet modules can be flexibly increased or decreased according to actual needs, which is convenient for expanding energy storage capacity. Each energy storage cabinet module is equipped with a heat flow pipe and a heat exchange device to ensure that each battery module can be fully cooled.

[0190] The coolant in the heat flow pipe between the battery modules takes away the heat generated by the battery modules through natural flow, and releases the heat to the external natural cooling source through the heat exchanger at the end of the heat flow pipe. Due to the use of multiple small heat exchangers in distributed contact with the battery modules, the heat exchange efficiency has been significantly improved.

[0191] In addition, the system also includes a real-time temperature control system that dynamically adjusts the flow rate of the coolant according to the temperature of the battery module to ensure that the battery module always operates within the temperature range of the life extension temperature value T. This modular design enables the near-water energy storage power station to flexibly respond to cooling needs in different environments and maximize the service life of the battery module.

[0192] Example 5: Low-temperature life extension equipment of a near-water energy storage power station combined with a remote monitoring system: In this embodiment, a near-water energy storage power station is installed in a remote area of ​​a high-cold region, and combined with a remote monitoring system to ensure the efficient operation of the low-temperature life extension equipment. The near-water energy storage power station includes multiple energy storage cabinet modules and matching heat flow pipes. The coolant in the heat flow pipe circulates to take away the heat from the battery module.

[0193] Each energy storage cabinet module is equipped with a temperature sensor and flow rate control device to monitor the temperature of the battery module and the flow rate of the coolant in real time. Through the remote monitoring system, staff can check the operating status, temperature and flow rate data of each battery module at any time and adjust the coolant flow rate or flow rate according to the data.

[0194] When the monitoring system detects that the battery module temperature exceeds the life extension temperature T, it will automatically sound an alarm, and the operator can adjust the temperature control equipment or start the backup cooling plan through the remote control system. This avoids equipment overheating due to human negligence or environmental changes, and increases the service life of the battery module.

[0195] Example 6 Low-temperature life extension equipment for near-water energy storage power stations adapted to extreme climate change: In this example, the near-water energy storage power station is located in an extreme climate area with a large temperature difference, with the temperature difference between day and night reaching tens of degrees Celsius. In order to adapt to this climate change, the low-temperature life extension equipment is equipped with a dual cooling system.

[0196] There are two cooling modes in the energy storage cabinet module: one is a conventional heat flow pipe system, which exchanges heat with an external natural cold source (such as river water) through the coolant in the heat flow pipe; the other is an auxiliary heat pump system. When the temperature of the external cold source is too high or changes drastically, the heat pump system can be automatically activated to provide a stable cooling effect.

[0197] In addition, the system is equipped with multiple temperature control mechanisms, which can select the appropriate cooling method according to different climatic conditions. The temperature sensor monitors the battery module temperature in real time. When the external temperature fluctuates drastically, the system automatically switches to heat pump mode to ensure that the battery module is always maintained within the life extension temperature value T range.

[0198] Example 7: Integrated optimization of low-temperature life extension equipment for large-scale near-water energy storage power stations: In this example, the near-water energy storage power station uses large-scale integrated low-temperature life extension equipment, which is suitable for the needs of urban power grid load regulation. The battery energy storage system adopts a modular design, and multiple energy storage cabinet modules are connected through heat flow pipes and a coolant system for efficient heat exchange.

[0199] To improve the system's operating efficiency, each energy storage cabinet module is equipped with multiple small heat exchangers, which are distributed around the battery module to enhance the efficiency of heat exchange. At the same time, the coolant is diverted through multi-channel pipes so that the heat of each battery module can be fully dissipated to prevent excessive temperature concentration from affecting system stability.

[0200] In addition, the energy storage power station is also equipped with a wastewater treatment module. When the temperature of the coolant is too high or the water quality is poor, the wastewater treatment module will automatically start the purification system to remove debris or suspended particles in the coolant, keep the fluid in the system clean, and ensure heat exchange efficiency.

[0201] Example 8 Comprehensive temperature control system for near-water energy storage power station in low-temperature environment: In this embodiment, the near-water energy storage power station is located in a cold mountainous area, and the battery module needs to operate stably in a low-temperature environment for a long time. To this end, the system adopts an advanced comprehensive temperature control system, which includes a heat flow pipe, an internal and external heat exchange device, a real-time temperature control module and a small pump.

[0202] The system's heat flow pipes circulate coolant to remove heat from the battery module, and the heat exchanger exchanges heat to an external natural cold source, such as mountain stream water or snow water, to ensure that the battery module temperature remains within the optimal operating range. The integrated temperature control system intelligently adjusts the coolant flow rate based on the real-time temperature of the battery module to keep the temperature within the life extension temperature value T range.

[0203] The system is also equipped with a backup heating device. In case of extreme cold conditions, the external natural cold source cannot provide sufficient cooling effect. The heating device will be automatically started to assist in cooling, ensuring that the battery module will not freeze or be damaged due to low temperature.

[0204] Example 9 Low temperature life extension equipment for deep-sea near-water energy storage power station: The near-water energy storage power station in this example is deployed in the deep sea area, far from the coast, so deep water cooling technology is used. The energy storage cabinet module is constructed of corrosion-resistant materials and can adapt to the high pressure and high salt corrosion of the deep-sea environment.

[0205] The hot flow pipe of the battery module directly exchanges heat with seawater, and the heat exchanger is connected to the low-temperature water body in the deep sea through the cold flow pipe. The temperature of deep sea water is relatively stable and can continuously provide a low-temperature environment to help maintain the battery module within the range of the life extension temperature value T. In addition, in order to optimize the heat exchange efficiency, a multi-section heat exchanger is also set in the cold flow pipe to increase the contact area between seawater and heat exchange fluid and improve the heat exchange effect.

[0206] To ensure long-term stable operation of the system, the system is also equipped with a real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment mechanism to monitor changes in seawater temperature and battery module temperature. When the temperature deviates from the set range, it automatically adjusts the coolant flow rate or enables auxiliary equipment for adjustment.

[0207] Example 10: Low-temperature life extension equipment for near-water energy storage power stations that combines convenient maintenance with efficient cooling: In this example, the near-water energy storage power station is located in a sparsely populated area, and equipment maintenance is difficult. To this end, the system adopts a modular design and convenient internal and external heat exchange devices to facilitate regular maintenance and replacement. The coolant system in each energy storage cabinet module can be disassembled, cleaned or replaced separately.

[0208] The internal and external heat exchange devices are designed to be detachable, which makes it easy to clean the pipes and replace damaged parts, avoiding the system's efficiency loss due to dirt accumulation or aging of parts. In addition, the filters in the cold flow pipes can also be replaced regularly to ensure the cleanliness of the coolant and ensure that the system is always in the best operating condition.

[0209] The system is also equipped with a backup heat exchange fluid circulation path. When the main cooling system fails, it can automatically switch to the backup system to ensure that the battery module can maintain the low temperature and life extension effect under any circumstances.

[0210] These examples further demonstrate the optimization and application of low-temperature life extension equipment under different environmental conditions, solving the long-term stability and efficient operation problems of battery energy storage systems in extreme temperature environments, covering a variety of situations from extreme climate to efficient maintenance.

These additional systems include temperature and humidity sensor systems, automatic cleaning systems, pressure and flow monitoring systems, intelligent data acquisition and remote monitoring systems, backup battery power supply systems, heat recovery systems, environmental monitoring and alarm systems, anti-icing protection devices, etc. By integrating these systems, the equipment can not only maintain stable operation under various environmental conditions, but also respond promptly when facing complex climate changes, environmental pollution or system failures, ensuring long-term and efficient operation of the equipment and maximizing the life extension of the battery module.
