Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of energy storage batteries, in particular to a control method of an intelligent immersed energy storage system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The battery pack is the basic unit of electrochemical energy storage, and each battery pack contains multiple single cells inside. In order to improve the energy storage capacity, multiple battery packs are placed side by side in a large energy storage system. The intelligent immersed energy storage system uses liquid cooling technology to completely or partially immerse the battery cells in an insulating, non-toxic and heat-dissipating liquid. This liquid can effectively absorb the heat generated by the battery during charging and discharging and take it to the outside for cooling, thereby ensuring that the battery operates within the optimal temperature range. By reducing the operating temperature of the battery, the performance and life of the battery can be improved. However, the battery pack will inevitably generate a large amount of heat during charging and discharging, and when the battery cell experiences thermal runaway, the intense reaction can easily cause a fire. Therefore, many intelligent energy storage systems have added fire protection measures. The existing fire protection methods mainly add a fire protection system to cool the battery cell when it is abnormal. This method not only increases the cost but is also usually irreversible, and once triggered, it can easily cause the battery cell to be scrapped. SUMMARY

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, one of the purposes of the present application is to provide a control method of an intelligent immersed energy storage system to solve the problem of high cost and irreversibility of the existing energy storage system fire protection method, which easily causes the battery cell to be scrapped.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a control method of an intelligent immersed energy storage system, which is applied to an intelligent immersed energy storage system. The intelligent immersed energy storage system adopts a dynamic semi-immersed combined with static fully-immersed mode. The control method of the intelligent immersed energy storage system comprises the following steps: S1: judging whether each battery pack of the energy storage system is abnormal, if the battery pack is abnormal, then running step S2; S2: closing the liquid inlet valve of the abnormal battery pack, closing the liquid outlet valve of the normal battery pack, opening the branch water pump, closing the main loop water pump, and pumping out the immersion liquid of the normal battery pack and injecting it into the abnormal battery pack; S3: when the water pump pressure reaches a predetermined value, closing the water pump and all valves.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, after step S3, the method further comprises the following steps: S4: continuously monitoring the abnormal battery pack and judging whether it returns to normal; S5: when the battery pack returns to normal, opening all valves, closing the branch water pump, opening the main loop water pump, and allowing the immersion liquid to recirculate and the battery pack to be in a dynamic semi-immersed state.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, in step S1, if the battery pack is normal, step S6 is performed: S6: determine whether the energy storage system is in charging and discharging state, if the energy storage system is in charging and discharging state, S7 is performed; S7: open all valves, start the refrigeration of the liquid cooling unit and the main loop water pump, and circulate the immersion liquid.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, in step S6, if the energy storage system is not in charging and discharging state, step S8 is performed: S8: close all valves.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, in step S1, the determination of whether each battery pack of the energy storage system is abnormal is specifically: determining whether the temperature of the battery cell is greater than 55℃ and the temperature rise rate is greater than 1℃ / s.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, it further includes multiple abnormal modes, and the abnormal modes include a high temperature early warning mode, a thermal runaway suppression mode and a liquid leakage protection mode.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the high temperature early warning mode is specifically operated as follows: when it is detected that the temperature of the battery cell is too high, the liquid inlet valve of the abnormal battery pack is closed, the liquid outlet valve of all normal battery packs is closed, the main loop water pump is closed, the branch water pump is operated, the immersion liquid in the normal battery pack is extracted from the liquid inlet pipeline, and the immersion liquid is reversely injected into the abnormal battery pack to increase the immersion liquid in the abnormal battery pack until the temperature of the battery pack returns to the normal level.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the thermal runaway suppression mode is specifically operated as follows: when it is detected that the battery cell has thermal runaway, the liquid inlet valve of the abnormal battery pack is closed, the liquid outlet valve of all normal battery packs is closed, the main loop water pump is closed, the branch water pump is operated, and the immersion liquid of other battery packs is injected into the abnormal battery pack until the battery pack is filled with the immersion liquid, thereby suppressing the thermal runaway of the battery cell.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the liquid leakage protection mode is specifically operated as follows: when it is detected that the electrolyte of the battery cell leaks, the liquid inlet valve of the abnormal battery pack is closed, the liquid outlet valve of all normal battery packs is closed, the main loop water pump is closed, the branch water pump is operated, and the immersion liquid of other battery packs is injected into the abnormal battery pack until the battery pack is filled with the immersion liquid, so that the immersion liquid filled can avoid the short circuit and fire of the leaking battery cell.

[0013] The principle of the technical solution is that the intelligent immersion energy storage system adopts a dynamic semi-immersion combined with a static full-immersion mode, the main loop water pump is used to circulate the immersion liquid when normally charging and discharging, and multiple battery packs are in a dynamic semi-immersed state.

[0014] The step S1 of the application monitors the parameters of each battery pack of the energy storage system in real time, and compares them with the preset parameters to determine whether they are normal. If the battery pack is abnormal, the step S2 is run.

[0015] The step S2 of the application closes the liquid inlet valve of the abnormal battery pack, closes the liquid outlet valve of the normal battery pack, starts the branch water pump, and closes the main circuit water pump, so that the immersion liquid is circulated in the reverse direction, is extracted from other normal battery packs, and is injected into the abnormal battery pack. By increasing the amount of immersion liquid in the abnormal battery pack, the cooling effect is improved, and the abnormal condition is handled. The present application reversely extracts the immersion liquid from other battery packs without the need for additional fire-fighting measures, which greatly saves costs. It also does not need to additionally set up a liquid storage tank to store the immersion liquid or fire-fighting liquid, and uses a semi-immersion method to greatly reduce the demand for immersion liquid, further saving costs, and can handle up to half of the battery pack abnormalities. At the same time, the abnormality is handled by filling the immersion liquid, which does not damage the battery pack cell, and can be restored for reuse after abnormal handling or false reporting, avoiding direct damage to the battery pack cell and resulting in scrap.

[0016] The step S3 of the application monitors the outlet pressure value of the water pump in real time. When the abnormal battery pack is filled, the outlet pressure of the water pump rises. When it reaches a predetermined value, the water pump is closed, and then all the valves are closed. At this time, the abnormal battery pack is filled with immersion liquid, which achieves the effects of cooling, fire extinguishing, and heat runaway suppression on the abnormal battery pack. Closing all the valves can avoid liquid leakage and pollution of other battery packs, and prevent heat runaway from spreading to other battery packs.

[0017] The step S4 of the application continuously monitors the parameters of the abnormal battery pack and compares them with the preset values to determine whether the immersion liquid injection has restored normalcy.

[0018] The step S5 of the application opens all the valves, closes the branch water pump, and starts the main circuit water pump when the parameters of the battery pack return to normal, so that the immersion liquid is circulated again and the battery pack is in a dynamic semi-immersed state.

[0019] In the step S1 of the application, if the battery pack is normal, the step S6 is run.

[0020] The step S6 of the application determines whether the energy storage system is in a charging and discharging state, i.e., whether it is in a normal use state. If the energy storage system is in a charging and discharging state, the step S7 is run.

[0021] The step S7 of the application opens all the valves, starts the liquid cooling unit refrigeration and the main circuit water pump, and circulates the immersion liquid. At this time, the battery pack is in a dynamic semi-immersed state, and the immersion liquid circulation removes the heat generated during charging and discharging to achieve the effect of temperature control.

[0022] In the step S6 of the application, if the energy storage system is not in a charging and discharging state, the step S8 is run.

[0023] Step S8 of the present application, when the energy storage system is not in the charging and discharging state, that is, in the unused state, all the valves are closed, and the whole system is in the shutdown state.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the beneficial effects that: 1. The abnormality is handled by the way of reverse circulation extraction of immersion liquid injection into the abnormal battery pack, without the need for additional fire-fighting measures, reducing the cost.

[0025] 2. By extracting the immersion liquid in the normal battery pack and injecting it into the abnormal battery pack, there is no need to reserve additional immersion liquid, nor to store the tank for storing the reserved immersion liquid, and the demand for immersion liquid is greatly reduced; at the same time, since the immersion liquid has the effects of cooling, cooling, fire extinguishing, insulation, etc., reducing the demand for immersion liquid will further reduce the cost.

[0026] 3. Under normal circumstances, the energy storage system is in a dynamic semi-immersion state, and the present application extracts the immersion liquid in the normal battery pack and injects it into the abnormal battery pack, which can fill half of the battery pack and handle multiple battery pack abnormalities. Compared with the semi-immersed state and the additional storage of excess immersion liquid in the liquid tank, the immersion liquid demand is less when the battery pack is abnormal, especially when the number of battery packs in the energy storage system is large, such as when used in energy storage containers. The present application saves more immersion liquid, and the cost advantage is more obvious.

[0027] 4. Compared with the traditional way of setting fire-fighting measures, the present application handles the abnormality by filling the immersion liquid, which does not damage the battery pack cell, and can be recovered for reuse after abnormality handling or false alarm, avoiding direct damage to the battery pack cell leading to scrap.
