Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flow control, and in particular to a flow control system of a liquid flow battery. Background Art

[0002] As the global energy structure shifts toward cleaner, lower-carbon energy, flow batteries have become a research hotspot in large-scale energy storage due to their advantages, including large energy storage capacity, long cycle life, and high safety. Flow batteries operate based on the flow of electrolyte between electrodes to achieve the conversion between electrical and chemical energy. Their performance is closely related to the electrolyte flow rate. A suitable flow rate ensures timely replenishment of active substances on the electrode surface, maintaining a stable electrochemical reaction rate and improving the battery's charge and discharge efficiency and capacity retention.

[0003] In actual operation, the working environment of flow batteries is complex and changeable. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and electrolyte concentration will affect the flow rate. However, traditional systems find it difficult to fully and real-timely consider the changes in these factors, resulting in certain errors in flow control and affecting the stability of battery performance.

[0004] First, the control algorithm parameters of the flow control system of traditional liquid flow batteries are fixed. When faced with complex operating conditions such as temperature changes and electrolyte composition fluctuations during the operation of liquid flow batteries, it is impossible to dynamically optimize the adjustment strategy, which can easily lead to flow control deviations and affect the stability of battery performance. Secondly, the monitoring and analysis capabilities are insufficient. Traditional systems only focus on monitoring a single parameter of flow, and lack comprehensive monitoring and analysis of related parameters such as the internal resistance of the battery stack and the balance of electrolyte concentration. It is difficult to accurately locate the cause of flow abnormalities from multiple dimensions, which reduces the accuracy of flow control. In addition, traditional systems mostly use open-loop or simple closed-loop control, and have not established a flow prediction model based on multiple influence coefficients, making it impossible to predict the trend of flow demand changes in advance. At the same time, there is a lack of real-time evaluation and optimization iteration of the control effect, which can easily lead to accumulation of flow control deviations due to sudden changes in operating conditions or equipment aging, affecting the long-term operating performance of the battery.
