Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an optimized scheduling method for a post-meter energy storage system that integrates battery thermal management and building thermal inertia. Background Technology
[0002] Off-meter energy storage is an energy storage device installed inside a building, mainly used to achieve peak shaving and valley filling, reduce peak building load, provide flexible resources for users, thereby improving economic efficiency and energy self-sufficiency.
[0003] Studies have shown that batteries generate heat during charging and discharging, directly interacting with the building's internal thermal environment. Battery performance, lifespan, and economics are all affected by operating temperature, making an efficient Battery Management System (BTM) crucial. On the other hand, the thermal inertia of the building envelope, as a passive form of thermal energy storage, is equivalent to a flexible virtual energy storage element. By pre-regulating building temperature, it can enhance the building's peak-shaving capacity and operational flexibility. However, existing research often overlooks the energy consumption of the BTM itself and fails to fully explore the interaction potential between the BTM and the building's internal thermal environment. This makes it difficult for existing scheduling strategies to accurately assess the additional energy consumption brought by the thermal management system, leading to deviations in system operating economics. Furthermore, due to the lack of active utilization of building thermal inertia, the thermal management system can only passively respond to battery temperature rises, causing not only a surge in air conditioning load during peak hours but also difficulty in maintaining the optimal battery temperature under extreme conditions, thus accelerating battery capacity decay and severely shortening the lifespan of the energy storage system.

The fans are positioned at the front end of the axis of each battery cell, and the fans and the ventilation holes at the rear end of the battery cell axis together form a directional forced convection air duct. The control strategies of the thermal management system include: 1) Active temperature regulation: When the battery temperature rises, the corresponding fan will accelerate to enhance convective cooling. At the same time, the air conditioning will also adjust its output power to maintain a stable room temperature; 2) Passive energy saving: Utilizing the "virtual energy storage" characteristics formed by the building's thermal inertia, measures such as "pre-cooling" before the summer load peak and "pre-heating" before the winter heating peak are taken to reduce the peak energy consumption and operating costs of the air conditioning system.
[0093] The process of constructing the battery compartment thermal balance equation is as follows:

Since reversible heat only has a significant impact at low SOC and low discharge rate, it is ignored in this invention. It is also assumed that the battery generates heat through its core, resulting in a uniform internal temperature; the battery surface temperature is uniform; and the amount of heat radiation during conduction heat dissipation is small and negligible.

[0114] Step S2: Establish a battery thermal-electric coupling decay model: Based on the Arrhenius equation and electrochemical kinetics theory, establish a battery capacity thermal-electric coupling decay model that integrates temperature, discharge rate and discharge depth.
[0115] The specific process of step S2 is as follows:
[0116] Step S21, Construct the capacity loss model: The capacity loss model is described by a semi-empirical model, and the battery degradation capacity is:

The exponential term is a power-law factor; The degradation mechanism is reflected by reactions such as SEI film thickening, while the remaining terms describe the temperature-accelerated aging behavior based on Arrhenius's law.
[0119] Step S22, establish a cycle life loss model: taking operating temperature and discharge rate as influencing factors, establish the cycle life loss model as follows:

At the same time, explore the virtual energy storage characteristics of the building to implement summer pre-cooling and winter pre-heating, and formulate a post-meter energy storage scheduling strategy that takes into account both battery operating temperature and operational economy.

[0152] Simulation examples:
[0153] This simulation uses a 2000-square-meter office building in Wuhan as a case study. The energy storage battery employs a four-level topology: 18 18650 cylindrical cells connected in parallel to form a battery unit; 20 battery units connected in series to form a battery module; 6 battery modules connected in series to form a battery string; and 10 battery strings connected in parallel to form a complete energy storage system. The energy storage battery capacity is 100 kWh.
[0154] A dedicated 15-square-meter space located in a well-ventilated corner on the first floor was selected as the energy storage battery room. The battery room is equipped with two air conditioning units and a wind-cooled heat dissipation system to maintain a stable indoor temperature. The building's indoor thermal comfort temperature range was set at 20℃ to 26℃. The RC thermal network model parameters for the battery room are shown in Table 1, the thermal model parameters for the energy storage battery are shown in Table 2, and the lifespan model parameters for the energy storage battery are shown in Table 3.
[0155]
[0156]
[0157]
[0158] To verify the effectiveness of this simulation model, the following three different cases were set up for simulation analysis:
[0159] The first solution: a scheduling strategy that integrates battery thermal management and building thermal inertia, i.e., the solution of this invention;
[0160] The second option: without a battery thermal management system;
[0161] The third option: disregard building thermal inertia.
[0162] Figure 2 Provides typical daily building outdoor temperatures for summer and winter. Figure 3 It provides data on building air conditioning load output, building base load, and time-of-use electricity prices for typical days in summer and winter.
[0163] Figures 4-9 The first scheme's summer and winter energy storage output curves and thermal management system operation status are shown: The typical daytime energy storage system in summer and winter adopts a "low-charge, high-discharge" strategy. Charging is concentrated during off-peak electricity price periods in the early morning, and during normal electricity price periods in the afternoon and evening, while discharging occurs during peak electricity price periods of 10:00-14:00 and 18:00-21:00. The battery temperature curve is explained below. Taking summer as an example, after continuous charging from 4:00-6:00, the battery temperature reaches a peak at 7:00; after continuous discharging from 10:00-14:00, a significant temperature rise is also observed, with the battery temperature reaching its maximum at 17:00. To maintain a constant indoor temperature, the fan increases its speed to promote heat dissipation, while the air conditioning cooling power is correspondingly increased. This synergistic mechanism not only ensures battery safety but also effectively delays battery calendar aging and cycle aging.
[0164] During typical winter days, the battery thermal management system exhibits similar operating trends, with battery temperatures rising between 10:00-14:00 (continuous discharge) and 14:00-16:00 (massive charging). During the nighttime hours of 00:00-07:00 and 22:00-24:00, due to the low outside temperature (approximately 3-5℃), the air conditioner is set to heating mode to maintain the battery room temperature above 20℃. During the evening peak discharge period of 18:00-21:00, a large amount of heat is generated inside the battery. As a result, the air conditioner switches to cooling mode from 17:00-19:00, with the fan speed increasing to dissipate excess heat in the room.
[0165] Figure 10 , Figure 11 The operation status of battery-equivalent virtual energy storage (VESS) during typical summer and winter operating days is shown respectively. The virtual energy storage system mainly participates in operation optimization through two strategies: one is to increase the air conditioning power to store energy for the building's virtual energy storage before the electricity price rises, thereby reducing the electricity cost during peak electricity price periods; the other is to directly reduce the air conditioning load during peak load periods at the expense of users' energy comfort.
[0166] On summer operating days, the virtual energy storage system begins pre-cooling at 6:00 AM during the low electricity price period. By increasing the air conditioning power, the indoor temperature of the battery room is reduced from 26°C to 23°C, with an instantaneous charging power of 1.1kW. The virtual energy storage capacity reaches its peak of 2.7kWh. When the room temperature rises back to 26°C at 4:00 PM, the energy stored in the virtual energy storage system is fully released.
[0167] On winter operating days, after the peak electricity price period begins at 10:00 AM, the virtual energy storage system employs a similar preheating strategy. From 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, it stores the Joule heat generated by the batteries and the ambient heat gain, maintaining the battery compartment temperature above 20°C without requiring power from the thermal management system. Furthermore, during the evening peak discharge period from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, it releases heat to combat the cold load. Through this synergistic strategy of "preheating + waste heat utilization," the air conditioning heating power during peak hours is reduced by approximately 50%, significantly reducing thermal management costs while ensuring battery temperature.
[0168] To illustrate the effectiveness of the thermal management system proposed in this case, Figures 12-15 The output characteristic curves of the energy storage system in summer and winter are shown without considering the thermal management system. It is easy to see that, compared to the shallow charge-discharge operation mode of the first scheme, the energy storage system exhibits more aggressive high-rate charge-discharge characteristics on each typical day. The second scheme shows a significant increase in battery temperature, with the battery temperature climbing from a maximum of 35 degrees Celsius to 45 degrees Celsius on summer and winter operating days; the average temperature increase is 4.89 degrees Celsius in summer and 2.78 degrees Celsius in winter. Excessive temperature accelerates the thickening of the SEI film, further leading to battery degradation.
[0169] Figures 16-21The diagram illustrates the output characteristics of the energy storage system in summer and winter, without considering the building's thermal inertia. Without considering the virtual energy storage effect, the air conditioning unit only activates when the battery room temperature is about to reach its upper limit. At this time, the energy storage battery follows a "low charge, high discharge" principle, charging during the early morning when electricity prices are low, and discharging concentratedly during peak electricity price periods of 10:00-14:00 and 18:00-20:00. However, due to the lack of pre-stored heat in the building envelope, when the battery enters the high-power discharge phase at 10:00, the Joule heat inside the cell and the rising outdoor temperature at noon create a "thermal superposition" effect, resulting in a much higher rate of temperature rise than in the first scenario. At this time, the air conditioning system must simultaneously activate its powerful cooling mode during the peak electricity price period, and the fans must also increase their speed to suppress the temperature rise. This significantly increases the system's operating costs. On a typical winter day, from 00:00 to 07:00, the battery room air conditioning must start heating to maintain the battery room temperature and prevent a decrease in battery activity. Even during the discharge phase at 10:00 AM, although the heat generated during battery discharge raises the room temperature to some extent, the air conditioning system still needs to be turned on intermittently to combat the cooling load due to the lack of virtual energy storage. Throughout the entire operating cycle, battery thermal management costs increase significantly (9% increase in summer and 3% increase in winter).
[0170] Tables 4 and 5 present a cost comparison of the three different schemes under two typical daily scenarios. The first scheme effectively suppresses battery temperature rise through the battery thermal management system, significantly mitigating battery capacity degradation caused by high temperatures compared to the second scheme. This results in a 68.9% and 26.8% reduction in battery aging costs in summer and winter, respectively, greatly extending the lifespan of the energy storage equipment. Furthermore, compared to the third scheme, the first scheme's advantage lies in its use of a virtual energy storage pre-cooling / pre-heating mechanism to shift some of the peak load to off-peak periods. This not only reduces direct electricity purchase costs but also significantly reduces thermal management energy consumption costs by decreasing air conditioning cooling / heating demand. Among all schemes, the first scheme maintains the lowest daily total operating cost in both summer and winter (RMB 1174.1 and RMB 1095.6, respectively), fully validating the effectiveness of the model.

[0173] In summary, considering the post-meter energy storage operation strategy that integrates battery thermal management and building thermal inertia, and by constructing an active management approach combining air conditioning and fans while fully utilizing passive energy-saving methods within the building envelope, the shift from "passive management" to "active collaboration" in battery temperature control has been achieved. Simulation results confirm that this strategy successfully reduces battery lifespan loss, lowers system energy consumption, and effectively reduces peak load. This not only provides a highly valuable innovative path for energy conservation and consumption reduction on the low-voltage user side but also lays a solid theoretical and technical foundation for the deep integration and efficient interaction of future distributed energy systems and green buildings.
