Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fire extinguishing performance testing technology, specifically relating to a fire extinguishing performance testing device for a fire protection system used in an energy storage system. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component of the new power system, the safety of energy storage systems is directly related to the stable operation of the power grid and public safety. Lithium-ion battery energy storage systems may experience thermal runaway under extreme conditions such as overcharging, heating, nail penetration, or external fire, leading to fires or even explosions. Therefore, conducting scientific and comprehensive testing and evaluation of the fire-fighting performance of energy storage systems is an important means to ensure their safe operation.
[0003] However, existing fire-fighting performance testing devices for energy storage systems have the following technical shortcomings:
[0004] First, existing technologies typically use fixed, preset environmental conditions and thermal runaway triggering parameters for testing. They cannot generate targeted test plans based on the environmental and characteristic parameters of the energy storage system under test during actual use. This results in a deviation between the test scenario and the actual operating conditions of the energy storage system, and the test results cannot truly reflect the fire extinguishing performance of the fire protection system in actual applications.
[0005] Second, existing technologies often only simulate static conditions at a single moment during testing, ignoring the dynamic changes in environmental parameters and the energy storage system's own operating parameters over time during thermal runaway. This makes it impossible to truly reproduce the complex conditions of the entire thermal runaway development process, resulting in significant differences between test results and actual fire extinguishing effects.
[0006] Third, existing technologies for assessing fire extinguishing performance typically focus only on a single indicator (such as the time to extinguish open flames), lacking a comprehensive quantitative assessment of the three dimensions of fire extinguishing efficiency, cooling performance, and decontamination effectiveness, making it difficult to fully measure the overall fire extinguishing capability of a fire protection system.
[0007] Fourth, existing technologies can only output test data and cannot automatically analyze and output the optimal fire-fighting strategy for different thermal runaway triggering methods based on multiple sets of test results. The intelligence level and engineering application value of the test device are low. Summary of the Invention

[0089] This invention, by setting up a fire extinguishing performance evaluation and analysis module, realizes the output of optimization strategies based on multiple sets of test results. The fire extinguishing performance evaluation and analysis module maps the fire extinguishing efficiency evaluation values, cooling performance evaluation values, and decontamination efficiency evaluation values obtained from multiple tests under different thermal runaway triggering methods and different fire extinguishing parameters to form evaluation nodes in a three-dimensional performance space coordinate system. By calculating the distance from each evaluation node to the origin, the evaluation node with the largest distance is selected as the optimal fire-fighting strategy for that thermal runaway triggering method, directly outputting the optimal fire-fighting strategy for different thermal runaway triggering methods. This enables the testing device not only to output test data but also to provide optimization guidance, solving the technical problems of low intelligence level and low engineering application value of traditional technologies.

[0183] like If the value is empty (i.e., the thermal runaway triggering method does not exist in the reference case), then no test plan will be generated for this triggering method, and this triggering method will not be included in the subsequent test plan generation.

[0187] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: By setting up an accident record extraction subunit, a time-series vector generation subunit, and a weighted centroid calculation subunit, the present invention realizes intelligent generation of test feature vectors based on historical cases of accident records. The accident record extraction subunit extracts thermal runaway accident records, historical environmental condition parameter sets, historical thermal runaway characteristic parameter sets, and historical fire extinguishing performance evaluation values for each reference case from the historical thermal runaway energy storage system feature matrix library. The time-series vector generation unit organizes the above data into time-series vectors, so that the thermal runaway process of each reference case is preserved in a complete time-series form. The weighted centroid calculation subunit uses the weighted centroid method to weight and fuse the historical environmental condition parameter time-series vectors and historical thermal runaway characteristic parameter time-series vectors of each reference case under the same thermal runaway triggering mode according to the historical fire extinguishing performance evaluation values. The weight is the reciprocal of the historical fire extinguishing performance evaluation value. The lower the historical fire extinguishing performance evaluation value, the more dangerous the thermal runaway process or the more difficult the fire extinguishing of the reference case, and the greater its weight. This makes the generated test scheme automatically tilted towards high-risk conditions. The test environmental condition time-series vector and test thermal runaway characteristic time-series vector output by the weighted centroid calculation subunit provide parameter input for the test scheme generation subunit, while avoiding the technical problem that traditional test schemes are prone to omitting high-risk conditions.

For example, if there is no needle puncture trigger in the accident records of all reference cases, the thermal runaway characteristic simulation submodule will not perform needle puncture trigger simulation.
[0195] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: By setting up environmental condition simulation submodules, thermal runaway characteristic simulation submodules, and fire-fighting condition simulation submodules, the test scheme is executed in all dimensions. The environmental condition simulation submodule generates a time-series vector of the test environment conditions based on the test scheme's output subunits, and adjusts the cabin temperature, humidity, and salt spray concentration according to the time sequence.

The three submodules work collaboratively through a time synchronization mechanism, ensuring precise alignment of environmental conditions, thermal runaway characteristics, and fire-fighting actions in the time dimension, realistically reproducing the entire process of thermal runaway and fire-fighting in the energy storage system. This design provides a realistic test scenario for the subsequent multi-dimensional parameter acquisition and monitoring module to collect multi-dimensional parameters during the fire-fighting process, avoiding the technical problem of distorted test results caused by time asynchrony in traditional testing devices.
