[0064] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0065] It should be noted that energy storage systems are generally used to store energy in solar power stations or wind power stations. Solar power stations or wind power stations are generally built in areas rich in wind or solar energy, such as mountainous areas or desert areas. Generally speaking, areas rich in wind or solar energy, such as deserts, mountainous areas and seaside areas, have large temperature differences between day and night. The heat generated by the energy storage system during operation is difficult to be discharged to the outside through the refrigeration system when the ambient temperature is high, resulting in poor cooling effect and high energy consumption of the refrigeration system. The present application aims to propose a temperature control method, device, energy storage system and electrical equipment for an energy storage system, which can at least perform pre-cooling when the ambient temperature is low, thereby improving the cooling effect and reducing power consumption.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 In an exemplary embodiment, a temperature control method for an energy storage system is provided, comprising the following steps S101 to S103.

[0067] Step S101 , obtaining the local daytime temperature, current temperature, average temperature of multiple battery cells, pre-cooling reference temperature, preset maximum ambient temperature value, and preset minimum ambient temperature value of the location where the energy storage system is located.

[0068] Here, the local daytime temperature may be obtained by obtaining the local actual temperature or the actual temperature displayed by the weather forecast.

[0069] Step S102 , determining whether to perform pre-cooling based on the highest temperature value of the local daytime temperature at the location of the energy storage system, the lowest temperature value of the local daytime temperature at the location of the energy storage system, a preset maximum ambient temperature value, and a preset minimum ambient temperature value.

[0070] Optionally, when it is determined that pre-cooling is not to be performed, a staged cooling strategy may be used for cooling to ensure that the energy storage system is within a normal operating temperature range.

[0071] Here, the highest temperature value in the local daytime temperature at the location of the energy storage system may also be the highest temperature value of the environment in which the energy storage system is operating. However, generally, energy storage systems are in operation during the day, and the highest temperature value is always during the day. Therefore, the highest temperature value in the local daytime temperature at the location of the energy storage system may be the highest temperature value of the environment in which the energy storage system is operating.

[0072] Step S103: If it is determined to perform pre-cooling, it is determined whether to start the liquid cooling unit to cool the energy storage system according to the current temperature, the average temperature of multiple battery cells in the energy storage system, and the pre-cooling reference temperature.

[0073] It should be noted that the energy storage system may be charged at night. During the charging period, the control strategy of the liquid cooling unit still follows the staged cooling strategy. The pre-cooling judgment strategy in steps S101 to S103 can only be executed when the system is not in operation.

[0074] In the temperature control method of the above-mentioned energy storage system, the energy storage system can be pre-cooled according to the local temperature value and multiple temperature data of the battery cells, so as to achieve additional cooling of the energy storage system under low temperature conditions, reduce electric power, reduce electricity consumption, and improve cooling energy efficiency.

[0075] In step S102, whether to perform pre-cooling is determined based on the highest temperature value of the local daytime temperature at the location of the energy storage system, the lowest temperature value of the local daytime temperature at the location of the energy storage system, a preset maximum ambient temperature value, and a preset minimum ambient temperature value. The determination includes: if the highest temperature value of the local daytime temperature at the location of the energy storage system is greater than the preset maximum ambient temperature value, and the lowest temperature value is less than the preset minimum ambient temperature value, then determining to perform pre-cooling.

[0076] Here, the local daytime temperature is the real-time temperature within 24 hours every day.

[0077] Specifically, the temperature control method of the energy storage system also includes: if the local daytime temperature at the location of the energy storage system has a maximum temperature value less than or equal to a preset maximum ambient temperature value, or a minimum temperature value greater than or equal to a preset minimum ambient temperature value, then determining not to perform pre-cooling.

[0078] In this way, by judging whether the maximum ambient temperature is greater than the preset maximum ambient temperature value and judging whether the local daytime temperature is less than the preset minimum ambient temperature value, it is possible to determine whether the local ambient temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature difference value. When the local ambient temperature difference is greater than the ambient temperature difference required by this application, pre-cooling can be used to achieve the preset effect.

[0079] The pre-cooling reference temperature is determined by the following steps: obtaining the nighttime temperature energy efficiency ratio of the liquid-cooling unit of the energy storage system, the daytime temperature energy efficiency ratio of the liquid-cooling unit of the energy storage system, the average temperature of the battery cells before pre-cooling, the average temperature of the battery cells after pre-cooling, the specific heat capacity of the battery cells, the daytime electricity price, and the nighttime electricity price; determining a reference value based on the nighttime temperature energy efficiency ratio of the liquid-cooling unit of the energy storage system, the daytime temperature energy efficiency ratio of the liquid-cooling unit of the energy storage system, the average temperature of the battery cells before pre-cooling, the average temperature of the battery cells after pre-cooling, the specific heat capacity of the battery cells, the daytime electricity price, and the nighttime electricity price; and determining the pre-cooling reference temperature based on the reference value.

[0080] Specifically, the reference value is determined by the following formula:

[0081] ;

[0082] in, is the nighttime temperature energy efficiency ratio of the liquid-cooled unit; is the daytime temperature energy efficiency ratio of the liquid cooling unit; is the average temperature of the battery cell after pre-cooling; is the average temperature of the battery cell before pre-cooling; is the specific heat capacity of the battery cell; The nighttime electricity price; The daytime electricity price.

[0083] Here, this application makes a comprehensive judgment based on the cooling energy efficiency ratio between day and night, the battery core temperature, and the difference in electricity prices between day and night to ensure that the energy storage system adopts a pre-cooling strategy when the cooling energy efficiency is good and the cooling cost is low.

[0084] Specifically, determining the pre-cooling reference temperature according to the reference value includes: determining the pre-cooling reference temperature according to the reference value and a plurality of preset standard values.

[0085] For example, the pre-set multiple standard values may be 1, 1.2, etc. When the reference value is greater than 1.2, it can be confirmed that pre-cooling is effective in the current environment, and the pre-cooling reference temperature can be set to 10 degrees Celsius; when the reference value is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 1.2, it can be confirmed that pre-cooling is relatively effective in the current environment, and the pre-cooling reference temperature can be increased to 15 degrees Celsius; when the reference value is less than or equal to 1, it can be considered that the pre-cooling effect is poor, and pre-cooling can only achieve the expected effect when the average temperature of multiple battery cells is high, so the pre-cooling reference temperature can be increased to 20 degrees Celsius.

[0086] Here, the above standard values and reference values are only exemplary, and staff can make adaptive adjustments based on the actual environment and data of the energy storage system.

[0087] Optionally, when performing pre-cooling, the temperature control method of the energy storage system further includes: predicting a predicted maximum temperature of the electric cells for tomorrow based on the temperature predicted by the weather forecast and the heat generated by the electric cells during operation on the previous day; determining a predicted battery cell temperature of the energy storage system before pre-cooling is turned off based on the current pre-cooling power, the time when the energy storage system started operating on the previous day, and the current battery cell temperature; and determining whether it is necessary to increase the cooling power of the pre-cooling based on the predicted maximum temperature of the electric cells for tomorrow and the predicted battery cell temperature of the energy storage system before pre-cooling is turned off.

[0088] For example, when the predicted maximum cell temperature for tomorrow and the predicted cell temperature of the energy storage system before pre-cooling is turned off are both greater than the corresponding preset thresholds, the pre-cooling power needs to be increased to further reduce the cell temperature before the cell is turned on and further improve the pre-cooling effect.

[0089] Optionally, when pre-cooling is performed, after the step of determining the predicted battery cell temperature of the energy storage system before pre-cooling is turned off based on the current pre-cooling power, the time when the energy storage system started working the previous day, and the current battery cell temperature, the temperature control method of the energy storage system further includes: judging whether the predicted battery cell temperature is lower than a preset minimum battery cell temperature; if the predicted battery cell temperature is lower than the preset minimum battery cell temperature, reducing the pre-cooling power to avoid the battery cell temperature being too low due to pre-cooling, thereby causing damage to the battery cell.

[0090] Optionally, when adjusting the cooling power of pre-cooling, when the predicted battery cell temperature is lower than the preset battery cell minimum temperature, the cooling power can be controlled to be closer to the optimal operating power of the liquid cooling system. If cooling using the optimal operating power of the liquid cooling system will cause the battery cell temperature to be too low, pre-cooling will be stopped when the battery cell temperature drops to the preset battery cell minimum temperature.

[0091] Optionally, the temperature control method of the energy storage system also includes: obtaining the return temperature difference of the energy storage system battery cell; judging whether the current temperature is greater than the sum of the preset minimum ambient temperature value and the return temperature difference; if the current temperature is greater than the sum of the preset minimum ambient temperature value and the return temperature difference, continuing to start the liquid cooling unit; if the current temperature is less than or equal to the sum of the preset minimum ambient temperature value and the return temperature difference, shutting down the liquid cooling unit to complete the pre-cooling action.

[0092] Here, the temperature return difference of the battery cell is the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures of the battery cells in the energy storage system due to uneven temperature distribution of multiple battery cells.

[0093] For example, please refer to Figure 2 , after confirming that the energy storage system is not working, execute Figure 2 The flow chart shown in FIG. 1 is used to determine whether to pre-cool.

[0094] Please continue reading Figure 2 First, execute step S201 to obtain the local daytime temperature, current temperature, average temperature of multiple battery cells, pre-cooling reference temperature, preset maximum ambient temperature value and preset minimum ambient temperature value of the energy storage system location.

[0095] Step S202: determine whether the maximum temperature value is greater than a preset maximum ambient temperature value.

[0096] If the maximum temperature value is less than or equal to the preset maximum ambient temperature value, the pre-cooling judgment process ends.

[0097] If the maximum temperature value is greater than the preset maximum value of the ambient temperature, the process proceeds to step S203 to determine whether the minimum temperature value is less than the preset minimum value of the ambient temperature.

[0098] If the minimum temperature value is greater than or equal to the preset minimum ambient temperature value, the pre-cooling judgment process ends.

[0099] If the minimum temperature value is lower than the preset minimum ambient temperature value, step S204 is executed to determine to perform pre-cooling and start the liquid cooling unit.

[0100] During the pre-cooling process, step S205 is executed to determine whether the average temperature of the plurality of battery cells is less than the pre-cooling reference temperature.

[0101] If the average temperature of multiple battery cells is lower than the pre-cooling reference temperature, the liquid cooling unit is turned off and pre-cooling is stopped.

[0102] If the average temperature of the plurality of battery cells is greater than or equal to the pre-cooling reference temperature, step S206 is executed to determine whether the current temperature is greater than the sum of the preset minimum ambient temperature value and the return temperature difference value.

[0103] If the current temperature is greater than the sum of the preset minimum ambient temperature and the return temperature difference, then step S204 is continued to perform the pre-cooling action.

[0104] If the current temperature is less than or equal to the sum of the preset minimum ambient temperature and the return temperature difference, step S207 is executed to shut down the liquid cooling unit.

[0105] In this way, by comprehensively considering multiple aspects such as the working status of the energy storage system, the temperature of the battery cells, the ambient temperature, the temperature return difference, and the electricity price, this application performs additional cooling on the energy storage system when the temperature is low and a comprehensive evaluation of the energy storage system is conducted. Performing additional cooling when the energy storage system is not working not only improves the cooling energy efficiency, but also reduces the consumption of electric power and electricity.

[0106] Optionally, the energy storage system can perform staged cooling when it is being charged or is not suitable for pre-cooling.

[0107] Specifically, the staged cooling method further includes: if the energy storage system is in an inoperative state, determining whether to perform pre-cooling; if the energy storage system is in an operational state, controlling the energy storage system to perform staged cooling.

[0108] Among them, controlling the energy storage system to perform staged cooling includes: judging whether the energy storage system needs staged cooling based on the maximum temperature of multiple battery cells and pre-set multi-stage battery cell temperature thresholds; if the energy storage system does not need staged cooling, controlling the liquid cooling unit to execute the self-circulation mode.

[0109] Specifically, the temperature control method of the energy storage system also includes: if the energy storage system requires graded cooling, determining the current required cooling level of the energy storage system based on the highest temperature of multiple battery cells and a preset multi-level battery cell temperature threshold; judging whether the current temperature is greater than a preset ambient temperature threshold; if the current temperature is less than or equal to the preset ambient temperature threshold, controlling the liquid cooling unit to perform cooling at the currently required cooling level; if the current temperature is greater than the preset ambient temperature threshold, controlling the liquid cooling unit to perform cooling at the next lower cooling level than the currently required cooling level.

[0110] The cooling capacity of the next refrigeration level is greater than the cooling capacity of the currently required refrigeration level.

[0111] Specifically, the temperature control method of the energy storage system also includes: obtaining the current cooling level of the energy storage system; judging whether the highest temperature of multiple battery cells is greater than the battery cell temperature threshold corresponding to the next cooling level, and judging whether the current temperature is greater than a preset ambient temperature threshold; if the highest temperature of multiple battery cells is greater than the battery cell temperature threshold corresponding to the next cooling level, and the current temperature is greater than the preset ambient temperature threshold, then controlling the liquid cooling unit to use the next two cooling levels for cooling.

[0112] Among them, the cooling capacity of the lower two refrigeration levels is greater than the cooling capacity of the next refrigeration level.

[0113] Optionally, the temperature control method of the energy storage system further includes: if the highest temperature of the multiple battery cells is less than or equal to the battery cell temperature threshold corresponding to the next cooling level, controlling the liquid cooling unit to maintain the current cooling level for cooling.

[0114] Here, when the energy storage system is operating normally, the appropriate cooling level of the energy storage system is determined based on the battery cell temperature and the current ambient temperature, and the energy storage system is cooled in stages according to the appropriate cooling level to meet the different cooling requirements of the energy storage system under normal working conditions and achieve multi-level precise cooling of the energy storage system.

[0115] For example, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a process for controlling an energy storage system to perform staged cooling is shown.

[0116] For example, Figure 3 As shown in , when controlling the energy storage system to perform staged cooling, step S301 is first executed to determine whether the maximum temperature of the battery cell is greater than a preset first-level battery cell temperature threshold.

[0117] If the highest temperature of the battery cell is less than or equal to the preset first-level battery cell temperature threshold, step S310 is executed to adopt the self-circulation mode for cooling.

[0118] If the highest temperature of the battery cell is greater than the preset first-level battery cell temperature threshold, step S302 is executed to determine whether the current ambient temperature is greater than the preset ambient temperature threshold.

[0119] If the current ambient temperature is greater than the preset ambient temperature threshold, step S306 is executed to adopt the second-level cooling mode.

[0120] Here, when both the ambient temperature and the battery cell temperature are high, cross-stage cooling is directly performed, which can cool the battery cell faster and avoid battery cell overheating incidents caused by untimely cooling.

[0121] If the current ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset ambient temperature threshold, step S303 is executed to adopt the first-level cooling mode.

[0122] After executing step S303 , step S304 is executed to determine whether the maximum temperature of the battery cell is greater than a preset second-level battery cell temperature threshold.

[0123] If the highest temperature of the battery cell is less than or equal to the preset second-level battery cell temperature threshold, the process continues with step S304 to adopt the first-level cooling mode.

[0124] If the highest temperature of the battery cell is greater than the preset second-level battery cell temperature threshold, step S305 is executed to determine whether the current ambient temperature is greater than the preset ambient temperature threshold.

[0125] If the current ambient temperature is greater than the preset ambient temperature threshold, step S309 is executed to adopt the third level cooling mode.

[0126] If the current ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset ambient temperature threshold, step S306 is executed to adopt the second-level cooling mode.

[0127] After executing step S306 , step S307 is executed to determine whether the maximum temperature of the battery cell is greater than a preset third-level battery cell temperature threshold.

[0128] If the highest temperature of the battery cell is less than or equal to the preset third-level battery cell temperature threshold, step S306 is executed to adopt the second-level cooling mode.

[0129] If the highest temperature of the battery cell is greater than the preset third-level battery cell temperature threshold, step S308 is executed to determine whether the current ambient temperature is greater than the preset ambient temperature threshold.

[0130] If the current ambient temperature is greater than the preset ambient temperature threshold, the liquid cooling unit should be controlled to adopt the fourth stage cooling mode (not shown in the figure).

[0131] If the current ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset ambient temperature threshold, step S309 is executed to adopt the third level cooling mode.

[0132] Here, it should be noted that after step S309, the battery cell temperature threshold judgment and ambient temperature judgment of level four, level five, level six, etc. can also be performed. When the maximum battery cell temperature and the ambient temperature are both greater than the corresponding thresholds, cross-level cooling is required. When the maximum battery cell temperature cannot reach the next level battery cell temperature threshold, the current cooling level is continued to be maintained for cooling.

[0133] In this way, according to the battery cell temperature and the current ambient temperature, the appropriate cooling level of the energy storage system can be determined under normal working conditions, and the energy storage system can be cooled according to the appropriate cooling level to meet the different cooling requirements of the energy storage system under normal working conditions and achieve the effect of precise cooling of the energy storage system.
