Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of new energy energy storage, and in particular to an electric stack temperature monitoring and control device for a all-vanadium redox flow energy storage system. Background Art
[0002] As a highly efficient and long-life large-scale energy storage technology, the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) has important application value in the fields of renewable energy grid connection and power grid peak shaving. Its core component, the electric stack, realizes energy storage and release through the oxidation-reduction reaction of vanadium ions in the electrolyte. The temperature distribution of the electric stack directly affects the ion migration rate, electrolyte stability, and overall system efficiency. An uneven temperature field is likely to cause problems such as local overheating, electrolyte crystallization, or thermal aging of materials, and may even lead to system failures in severe cases. Therefore, accurate temperature monitoring and control are the keys to ensuring the reliable operation of the all-vanadium redox flow energy storage system.
[0003] Currently, traditional electric stack temperature management technologies have the following limitations: (1) Single monitoring means: Existing systems mostly use discrete thermocouples or single-type sensors, which can only obtain temperature data at limited points, making it difficult to construct a real-time monitoring network for the three-dimensional temperature field and unable to comprehensively reflect the internal temperature gradient distribution of the electric stack. (2) Delayed regulation response: Conventional temperature control systems rely on fixed thresholds to trigger cooling or heating, lacking multi-parameter collaborative analysis of electrolyte flow rate, voltage fluctuations, and ambient temperature and humidity, resulting in poor adaptability of regulation strategies and difficulty in coping with dynamic operating conditions. (3) Insufficient thermal management efficiency: Traditional single-cycle cooling architectures are difficult to achieve hierarchical heat management. Especially in high-temperature or high-load operating conditions, heat accumulation is likely to occur, and the matching flexibility of existing heat exchangers and pump sets is insufficient, leading to reduced energy efficiency. (4) Passive fault diagnosis: Existing technologies mostly rely on threshold alarm mechanisms, lacking the ability to predict abnormal temperature trends and unable to early warn of risks such as electrolyte crystallization or thermal shock. System maintenance relies on post-event processing, and reliability is limited. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Embodiment:
[0049] This embodiment combines a specific application scenario to detail the implementation manner of an electric stack temperature monitoring and control device of the present invention for a all-vanadium redox flow energy storage system. This embodiment takes a 20kW / 100kWh all-vanadium redox flow energy storage system as an example, configured with 5 parallel stack units, each stack consisting of 50 layers of bipolar plates, the electrolyte flow rate range is 10 - 50 L / min, and the ambient temperature fluctuation range is -10°C to 40°C.
[0050] (1) System Hardware Configuration and Initialization
[0051] Distributed temperature sensing array: Embedded between each pair of bipolar plates are 0.2-mm diameter corrosion-resistant fiber optic sensors (model FOT-100, temperature measurement range -20°C to 80°C, accuracy ±0.05°C), with a total of 250 measurement points; infrared thermal imagers (model FLIRA615, resolution 0.05°C, frame rate 30 Hz) are installed at the four corners of the stack frame; T-type armored thermocouples (sampling frequency 15 Hz) are arranged in the electrolyte inlet and outlet pipelines, with a total of 4 groups.
[0052] Dual-loop thermal management architecture: The inner-loop subsystem uses ethylene glycol solution (concentration 40%) to exchange heat countercurrently with the electrolyte, and the flow rate is controlled by a stepless speed regulation pump group (power 0.5 - 5 kW); the outer-loop system is connected to a phase change energy storage device (paraffin-based phase change material, phase change temperature 35°C) and an air cooling tower (heat dissipation power 20 kW), and heat transfer is carried out between the two loops through a plate heat exchanger (heat transfer area 2 m 2 ).
[0053] Adaptive temperature control system: An array of semiconductor thermoelectric cooling chips (single-chip cooling power 200 W, a total of 20 chips) is installed on the side of the stack, and a dynamic bypass valve (opening degree adjustable from 0 - 100%) is set between the microchannel plate heat exchanger (channel width 0.5 mm) and the electrolyte pipeline.
[0054] (2) Implementation Process of the Control Method
[0055] Step S1: Construction of the 3D Temperature Field Benchmark Model
[0056] Based on the historical operation data of the stack (including electrolyte temperature, flow rate, voltage, and ambient temperature and humidity), combined with the physical properties of the bipolar plate material (graphite composite material, thermal expansion coefficient 2.3×10 -6 / °C), a 3D temperature field benchmark model is established through finite element analysis software (ANSYS Mechanical), and the temperature weight coefficients of each monitoring point are determined (weight range 0.8 - 1.2).
[0057] Step S2: Multi-source Data Acquisition and Processing
[0058] Local temperature data of the fiber optic sensors, infrared thermal imagers, and thermocouples are collected in real time (sampling period 0.1 s), and the electrolyte flow rate (electromagnetic flowmeter, accuracy ±0.5%), voltage fluctuation value (voltage inspection unit, accuracy ±0.1 V), and ambient temperature and humidity (sensor model SHT35, accuracy ±1% RH) are obtained synchronously. The sliding time window algorithm (window length 10 s, sliding step 1 s) is used to normalize the data to eliminate the dimension difference.
[0059] Step S3: Thermo - electric coupling analysis and dynamic regulation
[0060] Calculate the ion transport efficiency loss coefficient η through the thermo - electric coupling equation (Formula 1):
[0061] where α = 0.015, β = 0.2, ΔT is the local temperature difference, and dV / dt is the voltage change rate. When η > 5%, the main control unit generates a dynamic regulation threshold according to the electrolyte viscosity - temperature characteristic curve (viscosity is 3.2 mPa·s at 25°C, and the viscosity decreases by 0.12 mPa·s for every 1°C increase), and triggers the following compensation mechanisms:
[0062] (1) Local temperature difference > 2°C: Start the gradient compensation mode, and directionally increase the power of the thermoelectric cooler in the corresponding area (boost to 150 W);
[0063] (2) The electrolyte temperature deviates from the set value by ±1°C: Adjust the opening of the bypass valve (increase the opening by 20%) and the rotational speed of the pump group (boost to 80%);
[0064] (3) Sudden change in ambient temperature (such as a sudden increase of 10°C): Start the external circulation phase - change energy storage device 30 minutes in advance to reduce the risk of thermal shock.
[0065] Step S4: Dynamic regulation by fuzzy PID algorithm
[0066] The main control unit generates a refrigeration power distribution map (as shown) based on the fuzzy PID algorithm (proportional coefficient Kp = 0.8, integral time Ti = 120 s, derivative time Td = 30 s), and cooperatively controls the opening of the bypass valve of the micro - channel heat exchanger (adjustment accuracy ±2%) and the frequency conversion parameters of the circulating pump group (frequency range 5 - 50 Hz) to keep the temperature difference on the surface of the fuel cell stack stable within the range of ±1°C. Measured data shows that after the fuel cell stack operates for 1 hour, the maximum temperature difference drops from ±3.5°C of the traditional system to ±0.8°C. Figure 3 shown
[0067] Step S5: Verification and self - inspection of temperature field uniformity
[0068] After each regulation cycle (30 minutes) ends, generate a three - dimensional temperature field cloud map through the infrared thermal imaging module (as shown). If local overheating areas (such as the temperature between a certain bipolar plate > 40°C) are detected continuously for 3 times, the main control unit starts the system self - inspection program, updates the control parameter library (such as adjusting the weight coefficient or optimizing the fuzzy rules), and sends a warning signal to the remote monitoring platform through the fault diagnosis module. Figure 1 shown
[0069] (III) Verification of implementation effect
[0070] (1) Temperature control accuracy: The temperature difference on the surface of the stack is stabilized within ±1°C, the temperature gradient in the local micro-region ≤ 0.5°C / cm, and the risk of electrolyte crystallization is reduced by 90%;
[0071] (2) Energy efficiency improvement: The dual-cycle thermal management architecture enables the overall energy efficiency of the system to reach 85%, a 32% increase compared to the traditional single-cycle system;
[0072] (3) Fault warning ability: The prediction accuracy of the LSTM neural network model for electrolyte crystallization events reaches 95%, and the fault response time is shortened to within 5 minutes;
[0073] (4) Scalability test: The system is successfully expanded to 10 parallel stacks (total power 40kW), and the independent temperature control error of each stack < ±1.2°C, verifying the compatibility of the modular design.
[0074] (IV) Comparative experiment
[0075] Comparative test with the traditional temperature control system (under the same working conditions):
[0076] Index Traditional system System of the present invention Temperature difference of the stack (±°C) 3.5 0.8 Energy efficiency (%) 53 85 Fault response time (min) 60 (threshold alarm) 5 (active early warning) Maintenance cost (10,000 yuan / year) 12 7.2
[0077] Conclusion: This embodiment verifies the significant advantages of the present invention in high-precision temperature monitoring, multi-parameter collaborative regulation, and intelligent fault warning, which can effectively improve the operation stability and economy of the all-vanadium redox flow energy storage system and is applicable to scenarios such as large-scale energy storage power stations and distributed energy systems.
[0078] In summary, through the comparative experimental data of the stack temperature monitoring and control equipment of the all-vanadium redox flow energy storage system of the present invention, it can be clearly seen that the present invention has significant advantages over the traditional temperature control system in multiple key indicators. First, in terms of temperature control accuracy, the traditional system often has difficulty in controlling the stack temperature difference at a low level, while the present invention successfully reduces the stack temperature difference to ±0.8°C through three-dimensional temperature field monitoring and dynamic regulation of the fuzzy PID algorithm, greatly improving the temperature uniformity and operation stability of the system.
