Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of new energy and renewable energy technologies, and specifically to efficient recombination and safe energy storage control technology for the cascade utilization of waste new energy batteries. Background Art

[0002] The efficient reorganization and safe energy storage control technology for the cascade utilization of waste new energy batteries refers to the technology that uses waste new energy batteries (such as lithium batteries, sodium batteries, etc.) for secondary energy storage applications through battery performance evaluation, repair and reorganization after they are retired. This technology not only realizes the efficient utilization of battery resources and extends the battery life cycle, but also ensures the safety and efficiency of batteries during the energy storage process through advanced battery management systems (BMS) and intelligent control technologies, avoiding safety hazards such as overcharging and over-discharging. By optimizing battery performance, waste batteries can be reused in areas such as grid regulation, renewable energy storage, and home and commercial energy storage, providing technical support for the recycling of green energy and the development of smart grids.

[0003] In the existing technology, although the efficient reorganization and safe energy storage control technology of waste new energy batteries has important value in battery resource recovery and reuse, it still has some shortcomings and challenges, mainly including the following aspects:

[0004] Battery performance evaluation is not accurate

[0005] Lack of unified standards: The performance evaluation of used batteries usually relies on a variety of methods and testing standards, but there is currently a lack of unified standards and a complete testing system, which may lead to deviations in the evaluation results of batteries. This may cause the performance of the reassembled battery pack to fail to meet expectations, thus affecting its secondary use effect;

[0006] Difficulty in detecting aging and damage: The aging process of batteries is relatively complex, and traditional testing methods are difficult to fully evaluate the true state of the battery, especially the damage or minor defects inside the battery may be difficult to detect;

[0007] Battery safety issues

[0008] Insufficient thermal management: If the battery management system (BMS) fails to effectively control temperature and manage heat during the recycling of used batteries, it may cause battery overheating, increasing safety risks such as fire and explosion.

[0009] Battery imbalance problem: In cascade utilization, the capacity, internal resistance and other characteristics of different battery cells vary greatly. If the battery balancing management cannot be effectively performed, some batteries may be over-discharged or over-charged, thus affecting the safety and life of the overall system;

[0010] Cycle life issues: The remaining service life of used batteries is short. Although their service life can be extended through cascade utilization, the capacity of these batteries decays rapidly after multiple cycles, and there are still certain safety risks. In particular, the battery pack may be unstable during long-term use.

[0011] Low efficiency and high cost of restructuring

[0012] The reorganization process is complex: waste batteries need to undergo strict testing, screening, repair and assembly during the reorganization process. These processes not only take up a lot of time and labor costs, but also have high technical requirements. Current technical means have not yet achieved sufficient efficiency;

[0013] Cost issue: Even if the waste batteries are recycled, the cost of reorganization and treatment is still high, including multiple links such as battery disassembly, performance testing, repair and pairing. Especially when the battery performance is uneven, a more complex battery management system may be required to ensure its safe and efficient operation.

[0014] There is no uniform technical standard for recycling and reuse

[0015] Lack of a sound recycling system: The current recycling system for used batteries is still imperfect, especially in terms of battery recycling, which lacks unified industry standards and specifications. Batteries from different manufacturers and models face different technical requirements and adaptation issues in recycling, making the recycling process complex and difficult to scale;

[0016] Battery management system (BMS) technology is immature

[0017] Poor system compatibility: In the process of recycling waste batteries, due to the wide variety of battery types and models, the existing battery management system (BMS) may not be able to adapt well to different types of batteries, resulting in poor compatibility of management and control systems, affecting the stability and safety of the energy storage system after recycling;

[0018] Lack of intelligence: Although some advanced battery management systems can monitor battery temperature, voltage, current and other parameters, current intelligent control technology is still limited and cannot accurately predict the remaining life and health status of the battery in real time, affecting the long-term reliability of the energy storage system.

[0019] Inefficient use of resources

[0020] Resource waste: During the cascade utilization process, some used batteries may not be effectively utilized due to large performance differences or irreparable problems. This resource waste is common in existing technologies, which fail to maximize the potential value of batteries.

[0021] Environmental impact and sustainability issues

[0022] Environmental pollution during the treatment process: Although the recycling of used batteries helps to reduce resource waste, batteries may release harmful substances (such as heavy metals such as lead and cadmium) during the disassembly, reassembly and recycling process. If not handled properly, they may pollute the environment and affect its sustainability.

[0023] To this end, we propose efficient reorganization and safe energy storage control technology for the cascade utilization of waste new energy batteries. Summary of the invention

[0044] S5.3: Grid regulation and power feedback: Through two-way interaction with the grid, the grid regulation system is designed so that the energy storage system of waste battery recycling can not only provide power storage services for the grid, but also feed back power to the grid when the grid load is low, further improving the stability of the grid;

[0045] S6: Environmentally friendly and sustainable design

[0046] S6.1: Green recycling and waste treatment: Strengthen the green recycling technology of used batteries, design environmentally friendly recycling channels, and avoid used batteries entering landfills or being illegally disposed of, thereby polluting the environment.

[0047] S6.2: Life Cycle Assessment: Conduct a life cycle assessment (LCA) of the entire battery recycling system to ensure that the environmental impact of the technology is minimized and the goal of sustainable development is achieved.

[0048] Preferably, step S1 includes an internal resistance test: using a precise battery internal resistance tester to test the internal resistance of the battery. An increase in internal resistance usually means a decrease in battery performance. The health status of the battery is determined based on the internal resistance value. Capacity test: through a standard charge and discharge test (such as a C / 5 discharge or C / 10 discharge test), the actual capacity of the battery is measured, and the difference between the actual capacity and the initial design capacity is compared to evaluate whether the battery is suitable for cascade utilization. Cycle performance test: multiple charge and discharge cycle tests are performed to check the cycle stability and degree of decay of the battery. Professional battery testing equipment is used to simulate the actual performance of the battery in long-term use. X-ray imaging technology: high-resolution X-ray imaging technology is used to perform non-destructive testing on the inside of the battery to identify whether there are cracks, short circuits, diaphragm damage and other problems inside the battery. It also includes the establishment of a database: collecting historical usage data of batteries of different brands and models, including information such as the number of charges, charging cycles, battery temperature changes, and depth of discharge. AI algorithm training: using machine learning (such as support vector machines, neural networks, etc.) algorithms to train prediction models. Through known battery health status data, the algorithm can predict future performance changes and remaining life of the battery. Real-time data monitoring: Combine the real-time data of the battery (temperature, voltage, current, internal resistance, etc.) with the AI ​​model to make real-time predictions and timely evaluate the health status of the battery. Battery grading: According to the health status of the battery, it is divided into different levels (such as A, B, and C) according to its usable life. A-level batteries can be directly used for cascade utilization, B-level batteries need to be repaired or adjusted appropriately, and C-level batteries are used for recycling or disassembly. Grading storage and management: Establish independent storage areas for batteries of different levels, and ensure that no battery damage or leakage occurs during storage.

[0049] Preferably, the battery repair in step S2 includes balanced charging: for batteries with performance degradation, balanced charging technology is used. During the charging process, different charging currents are provided to each battery cell to ensure that each cell reaches the optimal charging state. Pole ear welding repair: for battery cells with poor internal contact, laser welding technology is used to repair the pole ears (the positive and negative connection parts of the battery) to ensure that the battery cells are in good contact and avoid battery damage caused by poor contact.

Mechanized assembly and testing: The reorganized battery pack is automatically assembled using a mechanized platform to ensure that each battery cell is connected in the correct state, and automatic online testing is performed to ensure that there are no failed cells. Hardware reinforcement: The connection points of the battery cells are reinforced with high-strength materials (such as copper alloys, battery welding brackets, etc.) to avoid poor contact caused by vibration or temperature changes during the use of the battery pack. Performance difference detection: The performance of each battery cell is monitored in real time through high-precision sensors and battery management systems (BMS). Once a cell is found to be abnormal, it is immediately isolated or replaced.

[0050] Preferably, in step S3, real-time monitoring: the voltage, temperature, current and other data of the battery pack are collected by sensors, and the BMS monitors the health status of the battery in real time. The data is uploaded to the cloud platform through the wireless communication module for remote monitoring. Battery balancing: The BMS has a built-in battery balancing algorithm, which can automatically adjust the charging current to ensure that the voltage of each battery cell is consistent and avoid overcharging or over-discharging of a single battery cell. Data storage and analysis: The battery usage data and performance data are stored in the database for subsequent data analysis and optimization. Combined with the AI ​​algorithm, long-term performance prediction is performed. Liquid cooling system: A liquid cooling system is designed to provide uniform temperature control for the battery pack. The coolant is circulated through the pump system to take away the heat in the battery pack to ensure that the battery remains within a safe temperature range during the charging and discharging process. Temperature sensor: Multiple temperature sensors are installed inside and outside the battery pack to monitor the temperature of the battery in real time, and the working state of the cooling system is automatically adjusted through the BMS. Dynamic balanced charging control: The charging current is dynamically adjusted according to the actual voltage and health status of the battery cell. For cells with lower voltage, the charging current is increased; for cells with higher voltage, the charging current is reduced to ensure that the battery pack remains balanced during the charging process.

[0051] Preferably, in the step S4, the abnormality detection algorithm: develop a real-time monitoring algorithm, when the battery pack has abnormalities such as over-temperature, over-voltage, over-current, over-discharge, etc., the system automatically alarms and takes corresponding measures (such as power off, restart, start cooling system, etc.), IoT integration: through the Internet of Things technology, the status of the battery pack is uploaded to the cloud platform for analysis in real time. The cloud platform combines historical data with current data, can timely warn and give safety suggestions, fault detection and isolation: use high-precision sensors to detect the health of each unit in the battery pack, and judge the fault type of the battery unit in real time. When a faulty unit is found, it is automatically isolated through the BMS system to ensure the overall stable operation of the battery pack, automatic repair mechanism: for minor battery unit failures, the BMS system can automatically adjust the working state of the battery unit, and repair the faulty unit by reducing the charging current or adjusting the temperature, physical isolation design: design a physical isolation structure for each battery unit to ensure that when a battery unit fails, the fault is not transmitted to other battery units, protection circuit design: design protection circuits, such as over-current protection, over-voltage protection, short-circuit protection, etc., to deal with extreme situations and avoid fire or explosion of the battery pack.
