[0001] This invention relates to a method and system for controlling the speed of a circulating water pump in an energy storage thermal management system, belonging to the field of battery thermal management technology. Background Technology
[0002] Existing energy storage liquid cooling thermal management systems rely on judging the extreme temperature values of a single battery (such as Tbmax or Tbmin) and do not respond to the rate of temperature change during charging and discharging, making the battery prone to overheating or underheating. The control of the circulating water pump speed is also coarse, often using fixed speed or segmented speed control, which is not precise enough and leads to wasted water pump energy. When the battery temperature sensor malfunctions, the system is prone to loss of control and lacks a redundant control mechanism.
[0003] Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a temperature control strategy that can optimize the thermal management system and a control method that can precisely adjust the circulating water pump. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Based on the processed data, the control mode of the thermal management system is determined by judging the battery temperature and the liquid supply temperature.

[0014] Under normal circumstances, the battery temperature is monitored, and the circulating water pump speed is controlled. There is a connection:
[0015] Will The temperature range is divided into three zones: a range with gradual temperature changes, a range with moderate temperature changes, and a range with drastic temperature changes. These zones are used as the main strategies for regulating the speed of the circulating water pump.
[0016] The temperature range with gradual changes is represented as: The moderate temperature variation range is expressed as: The range of drastic temperature changes is represented as ,in , Set a value for the parameter and .
[0017] Furthermore, the rate of change of the supply liquid temperature This refers to the difference in supply liquid temperature per unit time, including: when the supply liquid temperature increases, When the supply liquid temperature decreases, When the supply temperature remains constant, ;
[0018] In abnormal situations, the supply liquid temperature is assessed, and the circulating water pump speed is controlled. There is a connection:
[0019] Will The temperature is divided into three ranges: a range with a gradual change in the supply temperature, a range with a moderate change in the temperature, and a range with a drastic change in the temperature. These ranges are used as auxiliary strategies for controlling the speed of the circulating water pump.

The rate of change of the supply temperature is the difference in supply temperature change per unit time, including: when the supply temperature increases, the rate of change of the supply temperature is greater than 0; when the supply temperature decreases, the rate of change of the supply temperature is less than 0; when the supply temperature remains unchanged, the rate of change of the supply temperature is equal to 0. In abnormal situations, the supply liquid temperature is assessed, and the circulating water pump speed control is related to the rate of change of the supply liquid temperature. The rate of change of the supply liquid temperature is divided into three ranges: a range of gradual temperature change, a range of moderate temperature change, and a range of drastic temperature change, which are used as an auxiliary strategy for controlling the speed of the circulating water pump.
4. The circulating water pump speed control method for an energy storage thermal management system according to claim 1, characterized in that, The control modes in the thermal management system include cooling mode, heating mode and self-circulation mode. The process of judging the battery temperature is as follows: when the lowest battery temperature is lower than the lowest battery temperature threshold of the heating mode, the thermal management system starts the heating mode. When the thermal management system is operating in heating mode, and the lowest battery temperature is greater than or equal to the lowest battery temperature threshold of heating mode, but less than the battery temperature switching threshold for switching from heating mode to self-circulation mode, the thermal management system maintains heating mode. When the lowest battery temperature is greater than or equal to the battery temperature switching threshold for switching from heating mode to self-circulation mode, the thermal management system starts the self-circulation mode. When the highest battery temperature exceeds the highest battery temperature threshold of the cooling mode, the thermal management system activates the cooling mode. When the thermal management system is operating in cooling mode, and the highest battery temperature is greater than or equal to the battery temperature switching threshold for switching from cooling mode to self-circulation mode, but less than the highest battery temperature threshold for cooling mode, the thermal management system maintains cooling mode. When the highest battery temperature is less than or equal to the battery temperature switching threshold for switching from cooling mode to self-circulation mode, the thermal management system starts the self-circulation mode. When multiple mode triggering conditions are met simultaneously during the judgment process, the thermal management system controls the execution of the above judgment process according to the priority: "cooling mode > heating mode > self-circulation mode". When the battery's highest temperature exceeds the maximum battery temperature threshold in cooling mode and the battery's lowest temperature is less than the minimum battery temperature threshold in heating mode, the thermal management system alarms to indicate that the battery temperature difference is too large or the battery temperature data is abnormal. The system then replaces the maximum battery temperature with the second-highest battery temperature and the minimum battery temperature with the second-lowest battery temperature. When the battery's lowest temperature is less than the second-lowest battery temperature threshold for activating heating mode under abnormal conditions, the circulating water pump speed is dynamically adjusted. When the battery's highest temperature exceeds the second-highest battery temperature threshold for activating cooling mode under abnormal conditions, the circulating water pump speed is also dynamically adjusted. When the battery's highest temperature exceeds the second-highest battery temperature threshold for activating cooling mode under abnormal conditions, and the battery's lowest temperature is less than the second-lowest battery temperature threshold for activating heating mode under abnormal conditions, the thermal management system alarms, indicating that the battery temperature difference is too large or the battery temperature data is abnormal. The thermal management system replaces the battery's highest temperature with its second-highest battery temperature and the battery's lowest temperature with its second-lowest battery temperature, and then re-evaluates the situation according to the steps for determining the control mode. If the thermal management system replaces the battery's highest temperature with its second-highest battery temperature, and this replacement occurs more than a set number of times, the thermal management system still alarms, indicating that the battery temperature difference is too large or the battery temperature data is abnormal. This prompts maintenance personnel to inspect the energy storage system and switch the system to assess the liquid supply temperature.

The circulating water pump speed control method for an energy storage thermal management system according to claim 4, characterized in that, The process of determining the liquid supply temperature is as follows: When the liquid supply temperature is lower than the minimum liquid supply temperature threshold of the heating mode, the thermal management system starts the heating mode. If the thermal management system is operating in heating mode, and the liquid supply temperature is greater than or equal to the minimum liquid supply temperature threshold of the heating mode and less than the liquid supply temperature switching threshold for switching from heating mode to self-circulation mode, the thermal management system will maintain the heating mode. When the liquid supply temperature is greater than or equal to the liquid supply temperature switching threshold for switching from heating mode to self-circulation mode, the thermal management system starts the self-circulation mode. When the liquid supply temperature exceeds the maximum liquid supply temperature threshold of the cooling mode, the thermal management system activates the cooling mode. If the thermal management system is operating in cooling mode, and the liquid supply temperature is greater than or equal to the liquid supply temperature switching threshold for switching from cooling mode to self-circulation, and less than the maximum liquid supply temperature threshold for cooling mode, the thermal management system will maintain cooling mode. When the liquid supply temperature is less than or equal to the liquid supply temperature switching threshold for switching from cooling mode to self-circulation mode, the thermal management system starts the self-circulation mode. When multiple mode triggering conditions are met simultaneously during the judgment process, the thermal management system controls the execution of the above judgment process according to the priority: "cooling mode > heating mode > self-circulation mode". When the supply liquid temperature is lower than the supply liquid temperature threshold of the heating mode under the dynamic adjustment of the circulating water pump, the speed of the circulating water pump is dynamically adjusted; when the supply liquid temperature is higher than the supply liquid temperature threshold of the cooling mode under the dynamic adjustment of the circulating water pump, the speed of the circulating water pump is dynamically adjusted.
