Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of outdoor energy storage cabinets, and more specifically, to an energy storage cabinet. Background Art

[0002] Excessive consumption of fossil fuels leads to the emission of greenhouse gases in the environment, which eventually leads to energy crisis and global warming. Renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy and biofuels provide effective solutions to these problems. However, almost all renewable energy sources have the problem of uneven and discontinuous energy output. With the rapid increase in the demand for electricity in industrial production and residents' lives, the difference between the peak and valley of electricity consumption during the day and night is increasing. Energy storage systems provide a new path to solve the problems of unstable power output and imbalance between the peak and valley of power supply and demand. They play an important and pivotal role in charging and power supply, and have a positive impact on the construction and operation of the power system. This has brought huge development space to the energy storage market.

[0003] At present, the converters and transformers of energy storage cabinets, which account for a large share of the energy storage market, are usually transported and installed in a split manner. Although transportation is convenient, the equipment is heavy and difficult to install, which increases the on-site installation costs, and the error rate of on-site wiring and installation is relatively high.

[0004] The present application aims to provide an energy storage cabinet that can realize an integrated structural arrangement of an energy storage unit, a converter, and a transformer, thereby reducing deployment difficulty, reducing outdoor connections of the energy storage unit, the converter, and the transformer, and improving reliability. Summary of the invention

[0005] The utility model overcomes the shortcomings that converters and transformers are usually transported and installed in a split manner, which is difficult to install, increases the on-site installation cost, and has a high error rate in on-site wiring and installation. It provides an energy storage cabinet that can realize the integrated structural arrangement of the energy storage unit and the converter and transformer, thereby reducing the deployment difficulty, reducing the outdoor connection of the energy storage unit and the converter and transformer, and improving reliability.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] An energy storage cabinet comprises a cabinet body, a transformer, a converter and a battery module. The cabinet body comprises an equipment compartment for accommodating the transformer and the converter, an energy storage compartment for accommodating the battery module and a temperature control compartment for dissipating heat from the transformer, the converter and the battery module. The equipment compartment is located on the top of the energy storage compartment, and the temperature control compartment is arranged on one side of the equipment compartment and the energy storage compartment.

[0008] By placing the transformer, converter and battery module in the same cabinet, on-site installation is eliminated, deployment costs are reduced, floor space is reduced, and system integration rate is improved. Secondly, the cables between the transformer, converter and battery module can be placed in the cabinet instead of being exposed outdoors, which is safer and more reliable.

[0009] Preferably, along the height direction, the temperature control cabin is provided with a first heat dissipation chamber and a second heat dissipation chamber which are isolated from each other. The first heat dissipation chamber is connected to the equipment cabin to form a heat dissipation duct. The side wall of the second heat dissipation chamber is provided with an air inlet and an air return port which are connected to the energy storage cabin. The second heat dissipation chamber is provided with an air conditioner, which is respectively connected to the air inlet and the air return port. The air inlet and the air return port are arranged at both ends of the second heat dissipation chamber in the front and rear directions.

[0010] The first heat dissipation chamber of the temperature control cabin forms an air duct with the equipment cabin. The air conditioner of the second heat dissipation chamber is connected to the air inlet and the air return port, receives the hot air in the energy storage cabin, and discharges the cold air to the energy storage cabin. The battery module exchanges heat with the surrounding air, takes away its own heat and lowers the temperature. After the cold air is heated, it is discharged from the air return port and returns to the air conditioner for the next cooling.

[0011] Preferably, ventilation holes are provided on the cabin plate at the front of the equipment cabin, and air duct shutters are provided in front of the transformer and the converter, which are connected to the outside world through the ventilation holes, and the air duct shutters are used to protect the equipment from rainwater intrusion.

[0012] Preferably, the converter is arranged in a converter cabin, the converter cabin is connected to the first heat dissipation chamber through an air duct hole, the front of the converter cabin is open, and a negative pressure fan is installed in the air duct hole. The negative pressure fan forces air circulation, and the airflow is restricted through the converter cabin, so that the air duct only passes through the converter with a higher temperature, and the transformer is cooled passively.

[0013] Preferably, the converter is arranged at one end of the equipment compartment close to the temperature control compartment. The above technical features simplify the air duct design.

[0014] Preferably, an isolation fence is provided outside the transformer. The above technical features reduce the possibility of contact with people during maintenance.

[0015] Preferably, the side wall of the first heat dissipation chamber is provided with an air outlet, and along the wind direction of the heat dissipation air duct, the first heat dissipation chamber is provided with a plurality of air duct shutters to prevent rainwater from intruding and entering the equipment cabin.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) the converter, transformer and battery module are integrated in an integrated cabinet, and the integrated structure is arranged, thereby reducing the difficulty of deployment; (2) the equipment and battery module are cooled by forced ventilation and air conditioning refrigeration, the air duct is concentrated, and the equipment and batteries are effectively maintained within a suitable temperature range.
