Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0043] The embodiment of the present application provides a battery module anti-re-ignition control system for an electrochemical energy storage station. Its core is to monitor the thermal runaway gas concentration of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station through a gas concentration monitoring module; the smoldering feature extraction module determines the concentration growth characteristics corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station based on the monitored concentration data of the thermal runaway gas, and determines the module smoldering factors of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station based on the concentration growth characteristics corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of each battery module; the re-ignition temperature prediction module collects the real-time temperature data of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station, extracts the temperature trend characteristics of each battery module from the corresponding real-time temperature data, and uses the corresponding temperature trend characteristics to perform re-ignition prediction on each battery module to obtain the re-ignition prediction temperature of each battery module; the valve opening control module obtains the opening degrees of the fire extinguishing agent injection valves and ventilation valves at the positions where each battery module is located, and adjusts the opening degrees of the corresponding fire extinguishing agent injection valves and ventilation valves according to the corresponding module smoldering factors and re-ignition prediction temperatures. The present application adopts the above technical solutions to adaptively adjust the fire extinguishing agent injection and ventilation systems according to the thermal runaway gas concentration and temperature data of the battery modules, so as to improve the overall response ability of the anti-re-ignition control system.

[0044] To better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific implementation manners. Refer to Figure 1As shown in the figure, this is a module structure diagram of a battery module anti-re-ignition control system for an electrochemical energy storage station according to an embodiment of the present application. The processing system includes: a gas concentration monitoring module 100, a smoldering feature extraction module 200, a re-ignition temperature prediction module 300, and a valve opening control module 400, which are described as follows:

[0045] The gas concentration monitoring module 100 is used to monitor the thermal runaway gas concentration of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station.

[0046] It should be noted that in the present application, the thermal runaway gas mainly refers to hydrogen, methane, ethylene, and carbon monoxide. Specifically, in implementation, the thermal runaway gas concentration of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station can be monitored through a gas detector. A gas detector is installed at the position of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station, and this gas detector can monitor a variety of thermal runaway gases in real time.

[0047] The smoldering feature extraction module 200 is used to determine the concentration growth feature corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station based on the monitored concentration data of the thermal runaway gas, and determine the module smoldering factor of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station based on the concentration growth feature corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of each battery module.

[0048] In this embodiment, the following method can be specifically adopted to determine the concentration growth feature corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station based on the monitored concentration data of the thermal runaway gas, that is:

[0049] For each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station, the monitored concentration data of the thermal runaway gas of the battery module is fitted to obtain the concentration fitting curve of the thermal runaway gas of the battery module;

[0050] The growth feature of the concentration is extracted from the concentration fitting curve to obtain the concentration growth feature corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of the battery module, and then the concentration growth feature corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station is obtained.

[0051] In specific implementation, first, for each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station, the concentration data of the thermal runaway gas of the monitored battery module can be fitted, that is, the linear regression method is used to fit the concentration data of the thermal runaway gas, so as to obtain the concentration fitting curve of the thermal runaway gas of the battery module. This concentration fitting curve can accurately reflect the change trend of the thermal runaway gas concentration over time. Then, the growth characteristics can be extracted from the concentration fitting curve to obtain the concentration growth characteristics corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of the battery module. Through the above method, the concentration growth characteristics corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station can be obtained. This concentration growth characteristic is a characteristic used to represent the growth trend fluctuation of the thermal runaway gas concentration.

[0052] In this embodiment, to extract the growth characteristics from the concentration fitting curve to obtain the concentration growth characteristics corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of the battery module, the following method can be specifically adopted, that is:

[0053] Segment the concentration fitting curve to obtain multiple concentration curve segments;

[0054] Determine the concentration growth rate corresponding to each concentration curve segment respectively;

[0055] Determine the concentration growth characteristics corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of the battery module through all the concentration growth rates.

[0056] In specific implementation, first, the concentration fitting curve can be segmented according to the characteristics of the concentration fitting curve, that is, the inflection points in the concentration fitting curve can be identified, and the concentration fitting curve can be divided into different paragraphs according to the slope change, so as to obtain multiple concentration curve segments. Then, the concentration growth rate corresponding to each concentration curve segment can be determined, that is, the slope of the concentration curve segment is calculated, and this slope is used as the concentration growth rate corresponding to the concentration curve segment, so as to obtain the concentration growth rate corresponding to each concentration curve segment. This concentration growth rate is used to represent the growth rate of the thermal runaway gas concentration in the corresponding time period. Finally, the concentration growth characteristics corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of the battery module determined through all the concentration growth rates is to use the standard deviation of all the concentration growth rates as the concentration growth characteristics corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of the battery module.

[0057] Preferably, in this embodiment, based on the concentration growth characteristics corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of each battery module, the module smoldering factor of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station is determined. Refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, which is a schematic flow chart for determining the module smoldering factor of each battery module in some embodiments of the present application. In this embodiment, the module smoldering factor of each battery module can be determined by the following steps:

[0058] First, in step S21, for each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station, obtain the volume fractions of various gases in the thermal runaway gas of the battery module;

[0059] Then, in step S22, determine the module smoldering factor of the battery module according to the concentration growth characteristics corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of the battery module and the volume fractions of various gases in the thermal runaway gas of the battery module, and then obtain the module smoldering factors of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station.

[0060] When specifically implemented, first, for each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station, to obtain the volume fractions of various gases in the thermal runaway gas of the battery module, a gas detector can be used to monitor the components of the thermal runaway gas released by the battery module in real time, and record the volume fractions of the main thermal runaway gases (i.e., hydrogen, methane, ethylene, and carbon monoxide); then, the module smoldering factor of the battery module can be determined according to the concentration growth characteristics corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of the battery module and the volume fractions of various gases in the thermal runaway gas of the battery module. This module smoldering factor represents the probability of smoldering conditions existing in the battery module. The larger this module smoldering factor, the greater the possibility of smoldering conditions existing, and the greater the possibility of afterburning of this battery module. In actual implementation, the module smoldering factor of the battery module can be determined according to the following formula: Where, represents the module smoldering factor of the i-th battery module, represents the weighted average of the volume fractions of various gases in the thermal runaway gas of the i-th battery module, represents the concentration growth characteristics corresponding to the thermal runaway gas of the i-th battery module, and represent empirical weight coefficients. Through the above method, the module smoldering factors of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station can be obtained.

[0061] It should be noted that by monitoring the concentration change of the thermal runaway gas in real time, potential fire afterburning risks can be identified in a timely manner, and the calculation of the module smoldering factor can quantify the safety risks of each battery module, helping managers to prioritize high-risk modules, thereby optimizing resource allocation and safety management strategies.

[0062] The afterburning temperature prediction module 300 is used to collect the real-time temperature data of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station, extract the temperature trend characteristics of each battery module from the corresponding real-time temperature data, and use the corresponding temperature trend characteristics to perform afterburning prediction on each battery module to obtain the afterburning prediction temperature of each battery module.

[0063] During specific implementation, real-time temperature data of each battery module in the electrochemical energy storage station is collected through a temperature sensor; temperature sensors are installed at key positions of each battery module and connected to the control system to ensure that the control system can read and store the temperature data in real time. Set the acquisition frequency of the temperature data, usually at intervals of one second or shorter, to ensure that the temperature changes of the battery module can be captured in a timely manner.

[0064] Preferably, in this embodiment, temperature trend characteristics of each battery module are extracted from the corresponding real-time temperature data. Refer to Figure 3 As described, this figure is a schematic flowchart of extracting temperature trend characteristics of each battery module in some embodiments of this application. The temperature trend characteristics of each battery module can be extracted in the following steps in this embodiment:

[0065] First, in step S31, for the real-time temperature data of each battery module, a temperature curve of the battery module is plotted based on the real-time temperature data;

[0066] Then, in step S32, feature extraction is performed on the temperature curve to obtain the temperature trend characteristics of the battery module, and thus the temperature trend characteristics of each battery module are obtained.

[0067] During specific implementation, first, for the real-time temperature data of each battery module, a temperature curve of the battery module can be plotted based on the real-time temperature data, that is, with time as the horizontal axis and the real-time temperature data of each battery module as the vertical axis, a temperature curve of each battery module is plotted. Data visualization tools (such as Matplotlib, Plotly, etc.) can be used to generate a temperature curve graph to clearly display the temperature changes; then, feature extraction is performed on the temperature curve, that is, the overall slope of the temperature curve is calculated, and the overall slope is used as the temperature trend characteristic of the battery module. This temperature trend characteristic is used to represent the characteristic of the overall temperature trend change of the battery module. Through the above method, the temperature trend characteristics of each battery module can be obtained.

[0068] In this embodiment, the corresponding temperature trend characteristics are used to perform reignition prediction on each battery module, and the reignition prediction temperature of each battery module can be obtained in the following specific way, that is:

[0069] Obtain a pre-trained simulation software for reignition prediction of battery modules;

[0070] Input the temperature trend characteristics corresponding to each battery module into the simulation software for reignition prediction, and thus the reignition prediction temperature of each battery module is obtained.

[0071] In specific implementation, first, obtain the simulation software for predicting the afterburning of battery modules, ensuring that the software is fully trained and has the ability to predict the afterburning of battery modules. Then, organize the temperature trend features extracted from each battery module into a format suitable for inputting into the simulation software, and perform standardization processing on the temperature trend features according to the requirements of the simulation software. Thus, input the organized temperature trend features into the simulation software one by one, start the simulation software, run the afterburning prediction model, and calculate based on the input temperature trend features to obtain the afterburning prediction temperature of each battery module. This afterburning prediction temperature is the temperature that the battery module may reach after afterburning predicted through prediction.

[0072] It should be noted that real-time monitoring of temperature data and extraction of temperature trend features can promptly identify the abnormal temperature rise trend of battery modules and early warning of potential afterburning risks. The calculation of the afterburning prediction temperature can help identify which battery modules face higher afterburning risks, and managers can better evaluate the safety status of each battery module, so as to prioritize the monitoring and protection of high-risk battery modules and optimize resource allocation.

[0073] The valve opening control module 400 is used to obtain the opening degrees of the fire extinguishing agent injection valves and ventilation valves at the positions where each battery module is located, and adjust the opening degrees of the corresponding fire extinguishing agent injection valves and ventilation valves according to the corresponding module smoldering factors and afterburning prediction temperatures.

[0074] In specific implementation, the opening degrees of the fire extinguishing agent injection valves and ventilation valves at the positions where each battery module is located can be obtained through an angle sensor. In this application, the selected angle sensor is an inclination sensor, which can accurately measure the opening and closing angles of the fire extinguishing agent injection valve and ventilation valve, and then connect the angle sensor to the control system to ensure that the angle data can be read in real time.

[0075] In this embodiment, adjusting the opening degrees of the corresponding fire extinguishing agent injection valves and ventilation valves according to the corresponding module smoldering factors and afterburning prediction temperatures can be specifically implemented in the following way, that is:

[0076] For each battery module, when the module smoldering factor of the battery module exceeds the preset threshold, increase the opening degree of the ventilation valve and continuously spray the fire extinguishing agent;

[0077] When the module smoldering factor of the battery module is lower than the preset threshold, keep the opening degree of the ventilation valve;

[0078] When the afterburning prediction temperature of the battery module exceeds the preset safety value, increase the opening degree of the fire extinguishing agent injection valve and extend the fire extinguishing agent spraying time;

[0079] When the afterburning prediction temperature of the battery module is lower than the preset safety value, keep the opening degree of the fire extinguishing agent injection valve.

[0080] In specific implementation, first, the threshold of the module smoldering factor of each battery module can be set according to historical data and safety standards, and the safety value of the re-ignition prediction temperature of the battery module can be set according to historical data to ensure safe operation. Then, continuously monitor the module smoldering factor and the re-ignition prediction temperature of each battery module to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of the data. Furthermore, for each battery module, when the module smoldering factor exceeds the preset threshold, increase the opening degree of the ventilation valve to promote air circulation, reduce the concentration of thermal runaway gas in the battery module, and continuously spray the fire extinguishing agent to prevent thermal runaway. When the module smoldering factor is lower than the preset threshold, keep the opening degree of the ventilation valve to maintain the current ventilation state and avoid waste of resources caused by excessive ventilation. When the re-ignition prediction temperature exceeds the preset safety value, increase the opening degree of the fire extinguishing agent spraying valve to quickly spray the fire extinguishing agent and extend the fire extinguishing agent spraying time to reduce the temperature of the battery module and prevent re-ignition. When the re-ignition prediction temperature is lower than the preset safety value, keep the opening degree of the fire extinguishing agent spraying valve to ensure the use efficiency of the fire extinguishing agent and avoid unnecessary spraying.

[0081] It should be noted that by obtaining the valve opening data in real time and adjusting the ventilation and fire extinguishing strategies in a timely manner based on the module smoldering factor and the re-ignition prediction temperature, the abnormal conditions of the battery module can be effectively responded to, the re-ignition risk can be reduced, and the overall response efficiency and effect can be improved.

[0082] Thus, it can be seen that in this application, the fire extinguishing agent spraying and ventilation systems can be adaptively adjusted according to the thermal runaway gas concentration and temperature data of the battery module. Among them, by real-time monitoring the change of the thermal runaway gas concentration, the potential fire re-ignition risk can be identified in a timely manner, and the calculation of the module smoldering factor can quantify the safety risks of each battery module. Then, by real-time monitoring the temperature data and extracting the temperature trend characteristics, the abnormal temperature rise trend of the battery module can be identified in a timely manner, and the potential re-ignition risk can be warned early. The calculation of the re-ignition prediction temperature can help identify which battery modules are at a higher re-ignition risk, so as to preferentially monitor and protect the high-risk battery modules. Finally, by obtaining the valve opening data in real time and adjusting the ventilation and fire extinguishing strategies in a timely manner based on the module smoldering factor and the re-ignition prediction temperature, the abnormal conditions of the battery module can be effectively responded to, the re-ignition risk can be reduced, and the overall response efficiency and effect can be improved.

[0083] In summary, the technical solution adopted in this application can adaptively adjust the fire extinguishing agent spraying and ventilation systems according to the thermal runaway gas concentration and temperature data of the battery module to improve the overall response ability of the anti-re-ignition control system.
