[0038] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the invention, the specific implementation methods, structures, features and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] This embodiment demonstrates in detail the application process of a valley electrochemical heat storage and energy supply system based on photothermal coupling. The system is mainly composed of a photothermal module, an electrochemical energy storage module, an intelligent control module, and a heat exchange and energy supply module. Through the close collaboration between the modules and the precise regulation of the intelligent control module, it realizes the efficient utilization of solar energy and valley electricity, the intelligent conversion and storage of energy, and the stable and reliable energy supply.

[0041] At the initial start-up of the system, the intelligent control module first performs a comprehensive self-check of the system to ensure that all modules and units are functioning normally. At the same time, it sets the initial parameters for the concentrating unit, heat conversion unit and heat storage unit of the photothermal module, the battery pack, battery management unit and thermal management unit of the electrochemical energy storage module, and the heat exchanger and energy buffer unit of the heat exchange and energy supply module, and determines the rated capacity E of the battery management unit in the electrochemical energy storage module. c , charging current I0 and other key parameters, the thermal management unit sets the lower limit of the appropriate operating temperature range T min and upper limit T max , and its own heat dissipation power P s Specific heat capacity of the battery pack c b and mass m b These parameters will be used for subsequent temperature monitoring and control calculations.

[0042] During the daytime, the solar thermal module is running, and the concentrating unit monitors the changes in sunlight intensity in real time. The concentrating mirror array accurately adjusts the angle based on the real-time monitoring data pre-transmitted by the intelligent control module to ensure that the scattered sunlight is efficiently focused on the heat conversion unit, providing sufficient energy for light-heat conversion. The heat conversion unit quickly converts light energy into heat energy, which is transmitted to the heat storage unit in real time through heat conduction after generation. During the whole process, the temperature of the heat conversion unit will gradually increase. The temperature change is monitored in real time by the built-in temperature sensor, and the data is fed back to the intelligent control module. Based on these data, the intelligent control module can, on the one hand, determine whether the light-heat conversion process is operating normally, and on the other hand, indirectly evaluate the focusing effect of the concentrating unit based on the temperature change trend. If the temperature rise is found to be abnormally slow, it may indicate that there is a focusing problem in the concentrating unit, which requires further inspection and adjustment. After receiving the heat energy transmitted by the heat conversion unit, the heat storage unit absorbs heat and its own temperature rises. During this process, the heat storage unit continuously monitors its own heat energy storage capacity Q thand temperature changes. Once the intelligent control module issues a heating instruction according to the state of the electrochemical energy storage module, the thermal storage unit will supply heat to the electrochemical energy storage module to assist the electrochemical reaction according to the instruction. For example, when the battery temperature T es Lower than the lower limit of the suitable working temperature range T min And the system has power demand E d When the intelligent control module first determines the thermal energy Q stored in the solar thermal module th Does condition Q meet? th ≥E d ×k, k is the heat energy-electricity conversion coefficient. If the conditions are met, the intelligent control module starts the heat supply auxiliary power generation process, the heat storage unit converts heat energy into electrical energy to supplement the electrochemical energy storage module, and at the same time sends an instruction to the focusing unit to increase the focusing area. The focusing area S is calculated according to the formula Adjustments are made to convert more solar energy into thermal energy to meet the demand for additional electricity.

[0043] During the off-peak period, the battery management unit of the electrochemical energy storage module starts the charging process according to the instructions of the intelligent control module. Calculate the charging current I, where C g is the electricity price during off-peak hours, E r is the current remaining capacity of the battery pack, and t is the valley power duration. In this way, the system can reasonably adjust the charging current according to the remaining capacity of the battery during the valley power phase when the electricity price is low, thereby optimizing the charging cost. When the battery pack capacity is close to the rated capacity, that is, E r ≈E c When the battery management unit further calculates the health status of the battery pack according to the formula Adjust the charging current to ensure that the battery is in good working condition even at the end of charging, thereby extending the battery's cycle life. During the energy supply period, the battery pack discharges according to the instructions of the intelligent control module. When the external load demand increases and the system determines that the electrochemical energy storage module needs to provide power, the battery pack outputs power according to the discharge strategy. The discharge current and voltage are dynamically adjusted by the battery management unit based on the load demand and the current state of the battery to ensure a stable supply of power. At the same time, the battery management unit monitors the battery pack's power, voltage, current and other parameters in real time, and feeds this information back to the intelligent control module so that the intelligent control module can make real-time adjustments to the energy balance and energy supply strategy of the entire system.

[0044] The temperature sensor of the thermal management unit monitors the battery pack temperature T in real time es When the battery pack temperature is detected to be out of the suitable operating temperature range [T min ,T max], the thermal management unit immediately sends a temperature warning message to the intelligent control module, and simultaneously starts the heat dissipation or heating measures to adjust the temperature. During the heat dissipation process, the thermal management unit dissipates the excess heat generated by the battery pack; during the heating process, it provides stable heat for the battery pack and determines the heat dissipation and heating heat according to the temperature change of the battery pack ΔT. ΔT is calculated by the formula Calculated, where Q p is the heat transferred from the solar thermal module to the battery pack, and t1 is the regulation time of the battery pack. For example, when the temperature of the battery pack is too high, that is, T es >T max When the temperature of the battery pack is too low, that is, T es <T min When the temperature is too high, the intelligent control module will control the solar thermal module to supply heat to the battery pack, and the thermal management unit will reduce the heat dissipation measures or start the heating element accordingly to ensure that the battery pack temperature is stable in an appropriate range and maintain the optimal performance of the battery.

[0045] The intelligent control module continuously collects a large amount of data such as light intensity, ambient temperature, grid electricity price, power and temperature of the electrochemical energy storage module, thermal energy storage capacity of the photothermal module and concentration status. For example, the light intensity sensor monitors the solar radiation intensity in real time, providing a direct basis for the adjustment of the concentration unit; the power and temperature sensors of the electrochemical energy storage module feed back the real-time status information of the battery pack to the intelligent control module so that it can adjust the charging and discharging strategy and thermal management measures in time. The intelligent control module uses the built-in thermal-electric bidirectional feedback regulation algorithm to process and analyze these data in real time, accurately grasp the operating status and energy flow of each module of the system, and through learning and analyzing historical data, the intelligent control module can also predict the energy demand and supply trend of the system in the future, formulate optimized energy management strategies in advance, and improve the operating efficiency and stability of the system. In addition, when the real-time temperature T es Higher than the upper limit of the suitable working temperature range T max When the heat is released, the intelligent control module immediately starts the thermal control unit, controls the solar thermal module to reduce the heat output, and adjusts the focusing area S of the focusing unit. The focusing area is calculated according to the formula Adjustment is performed, where S0 is the initial focusing area. By gradually reducing the focusing area, the heat transferred from the photothermal module to the electrochemical energy storage module is reduced, and a safety value S for reducing the focusing area is set. aq And S≤S aq When maintaining the focusing area S aq , to prevent the battery from overheating, in actual operation, when T es More than T maxWhen the temperature of the battery pack drops to a certain level as soon as possible, the intelligent control module responds quickly, calculates the adjustment value of the focusing area according to the formula, drives the motor of the focusing unit to adjust the angle of the focusing lens array, reduces the focusing area, and controls the heat storage unit to reduce the heat supply to the electrochemical energy storage module, ensuring that the battery pack temperature drops to the appropriate range as soon as possible to protect the battery performance. On the contrary, when T es <T min And the system has power demand E d When the intelligent control module starts the electronically controlled thermal assisted power generation mode, it first determines the thermal energy Q stored in the solar thermal module. th Whether the auxiliary power generation conditions are met, if Q th ≥E d ×k, then the solar thermal module is controlled to supply heat to the electrochemical energy storage module to assist in power generation, and the focusing unit is adjusted to increase the focusing area S. According to the formula Concentrate, when T es <T min And the power demand is E d When the intelligent control module detects that the CSP module has stored sufficient thermal energy during the day to meet the requirements for auxiliary power generation, it initiates the heat-assisted power generation process. The electricity generated by the thermal storage unit is then fed to the electrochemical energy storage module or directly to the load. This further replenishes the thermal energy reserve, achieving intelligent complementarity between thermal and electrical energy and maintaining a stable energy supply for the system. In addition to bidirectional thermal-electrical feedback regulation, the intelligent control module also coordinates the coordinated operation of the system's various modules. Regarding energy allocation, the intelligent control module formulates the optimal energy allocation strategy based on real-time energy demand and the energy storage status of each module. For example, in industrial production processes, if industrial equipment has a high demand for high-temperature thermal energy, the intelligent control module prioritizes energy allocation between the CSP module and the electrochemical energy storage module. Through heat exchange with the energy supply module, this energy is converted into the high-temperature, high-pressure thermal energy required by the equipment, ensuring a stable and continuous energy supply. Furthermore, the intelligent control module closely monitors the CSP module's concentration status and thermal conversion efficiency, as well as the battery health and charge / discharge status of the electrochemical energy storage module. It promptly adjusts the operating parameters of each module to ensure optimal overall system operation and reliable energy supply.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the present embodiment provides a valley electrochemical heat storage and energy supply system based on photothermal coupling, and the specific steps for performing heat storage and energy supply are as follows:

[0047] During the daytime operation of the solar thermal module, the light sensor of the concentrating unit monitors the changes in the sun's position and intensity, and adjusts the concentrating mirror array to ensure that the sunlight is incident on the thermal conversion unit at the optimal angle to ensure the light intensity density.

[0048] The heat conversion unit absorbs focused solar energy and converts it into heat. Its built-in temperature sensor monitors temperature changes and feeds back to the intelligent control module to determine whether the light-to-heat conversion process is stable and efficient and the focusing effect is good.

[0049] The heat storage unit receives the heat energy transmitted by the heat conversion unit, absorbs heat and stores the heat energy, and continuously monitors the heat energy storage amount and temperature changes. When the intelligent control module issues a heating instruction, the heat storage unit supplies heat to the electrochemical energy storage module to assist the electrochemical reaction and provide basic heat energy for the heat exchange and energy supply module.

[0050] During off-peak hours, the electrochemical energy storage module's battery management unit initiates the charging process based on instructions from the intelligent control module. It calculates the charging current based on information such as the off-peak electricity price, the battery pack's current remaining capacity, and the duration of the off-peak period. The charging current is adjusted as the charging process progresses. When the current approaches the rated capacity, further adjustments are made based on the battery pack's health status to avoid overcharging.

[0051] During the energy supply period, the battery pack discharges according to the instructions of the intelligent control module. The discharge current and voltage are dynamically adjusted by the battery management unit according to the load demand and the current status of the battery. The battery pack's power, voltage, current and other parameters are monitored in real time and fed back to the intelligent control module.

[0052] The temperature sensor in the thermal management unit monitors the battery pack temperature in real time. If the temperature deviates from the appropriate operating temperature range, it initiates cooling or heating measures to adjust the temperature, ensuring that the battery pack temperature remains stable within the appropriate range.

[0053] The intelligent control module coordinates the collaborative work of the various modules in the system, formulates an energy allocation strategy based on energy demand and the energy storage status of each module, and ensures that the overall system operates in the optimal state. By executing the thermal-electric bidirectional feedback regulation algorithm, when the temperature of the electrochemical energy storage module is higher than the appropriate upper limit, the solar thermal module is controlled to reduce heat output and adjust the focusing area of the concentrating unit; when the temperature is lower than the appropriate lower limit and there is a demand for electricity, if the thermal energy of the solar thermal module meets the conditions, the electronically controlled heat-assisted power generation mode is activated, the solar thermal module is controlled to provide heat-assisted power generation and the concentrating unit is adjusted to increase the focusing area;

[0054] The heat exchanger receives energy from the solar thermal module and the electrochemical energy storage module, converts the input energy into output heat energy according to different load requirements, and provides adaptive energy;

[0055] During the system's energy supply process, when the energy output of the solar thermal module and the electrochemical energy storage module fluctuates, the energy buffer unit absorbs and stores excess heat energy, and releases and supplements it when heat energy is insufficient, ensuring the smooth output of heat energy from the heat exchanger and maintaining power supply stability.

[0056] In summary, this embodiment describes in detail the operation process of a valley electrochemical heat storage energy supply system based on photothermal coupling, fully demonstrating the close synergy between the modules and the key regulation function of the intelligent control module, and achieving stable and reliable energy supply under different working conditions.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] This example focuses on the practical application of the photovoltaic-thermal coupled valley electrochemical heat storage and energy supply system in the industrial field. It elaborates on the operating mechanism and synergy of each module of the system in an industrial production environment, and demonstrates how it can effectively integrate photovoltaic and valley electricity energy to meet the complex and changing energy needs of industry.

[0059] In industrial applications, the focusing unit of the photothermal module will accurately focus the scattered sunlight onto the heat conversion unit to ensure the high efficiency of photothermal conversion. The heat conversion unit will quickly convert the absorbed light energy into heat energy and transmit it to the heat storage unit in real time. On the one hand, the heat storage unit stores heat. On the other hand, according to the instructions of the intelligent control module, when industrial production needs it, such as chemical reaction heating, metal processing preheating, etc., it stably outputs heat energy to the heat exchange and energy supply module, providing a basic heat source for industrial production and ensuring that the temperature of the production process meets the requirements.

[0060] During off-peak hours, the battery management unit of the electrochemical energy storage module accurately calculates the charging current and voltage based on the scheduling of the intelligent control module, the off-peak electricity price, and the real-time power status of the battery pack, achieving efficient charging and storing electrical energy for backup. During peak industrial production electricity consumption or when the solar thermal module is insufficient, the battery pack discharges according to instructions to power production equipment and maintain production continuity. The thermal management unit monitors the battery temperature in real time. When the temperature deviates from the appropriate range, it quickly takes heat dissipation or heating measures to prevent battery performance from being affected by temperature, ensuring that the battery is always in good working condition and guaranteeing the stable supply and storage of electricity.

[0061] The intelligent control module comprehensively collects energy demand information on the industrial production line, thermal energy storage and conversion data of the solar thermal module, power and temperature conditions of the electrochemical energy storage module, etc. Through the built-in thermal-electric bidirectional feedback regulation algorithm, during the production process, the energy output of the solar thermal module and the electrochemical energy storage module are dynamically allocated according to real-time energy demand. When the demand for thermal energy in the production link increases, the intelligent control module instructs the solar thermal module to increase heat output. If the solar thermal energy is insufficient, the electrochemical energy storage module is coordinated to perform electrical-thermal energy conversion to supplement it. When the demand for electricity is urgent, the battery pack is prioritized for reasonable discharge, and the energy distribution strategy of the solar thermal module is adjusted at the same time to ensure the accurate, stable and efficient energy supply in all links of industrial production.

[0062] The heat exchange and energy supply module uses a heat exchanger to accurately convert the energy from the photothermal module and the electrochemical energy storage module into an appropriate form of thermal energy output according to the temperature and energy requirements of different industrial production processes. The energy buffer unit quickly releases or stores energy when the energy supply fluctuates to ensure the stability of the heat energy output of the heat exchanger, avoid interference with industrial production due to energy fluctuations, and maintain efficient and stable production operations.

[0063] This embodiment fully demonstrates the performance of the valley electrochemical heat storage and energy supply system based on photothermal coupling in the industrial field. The modules work closely together to achieve the deep integration and efficient utilization of photothermal and valley electricity energy in industrial production, effectively respond to the complex energy needs of industry, and significantly improve the stability and reliability of energy supply.
