[0032] Embodiment 1
[0033] To solve the problems existing in the prior art, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the accompanying drawings, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a photovoltaic energy storage battery device, comprising: a storage battery 1; a mounting device 2, the mounting device 2 has a cavity 201, at least one storage battery 1 is placed in the cavity 201; a refrigeration device 3, the refrigeration device 3 is arranged outside the mounting device 2, the refrigeration device 3 comprises a refrigeration pipeline, the refrigeration pipeline extends into the cavity 201 and is connected or not connected with the storage battery 1, the refrigeration device 3 can refrigerate the inside of the storage battery 1 or the inside of the cavity 201 through the refrigeration pipeline; an inert gas source device 4, the inert gas source device 4 is arranged outside the mounting device 2, for providing inert gas in the cavity 201; a first air inlet pipeline 5, the first air inlet pipeline 5 extends into the cavity 201, for connecting the inert gas source device 4 and the cavity 201, the inert gas source device 4 transports inert gas into the cavity 201 through the first air inlet pipeline 5; and an exhaust pipeline 6, the exhaust pipeline 6 is used to connect the cavity 201 and the outside, the exhaust pipeline 6 is used to discharge the gas in the cavity 201.
[0034] The storage battery 1 is responsible for storing the electrical energy converted by the photovoltaic system, and can adopt lithium ion battery, lead-acid battery or other types of battery, which has good charge and discharge performance and high energy density. The mounting device 2 can be a shell with a cavity 201 structure for accommodating at least one storage battery 1, such as a rectangular box structure, to provide a controlled environment to protect the storage battery 1 from external factors.
[0035] Since the storage battery 1 generates heat during operation, overheating can affect the performance of the storage battery 1 and even cause safety problems. Therefore, the photovoltaic energy storage battery device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a refrigeration device 3, and the refrigeration device 3 includes a refrigeration pipeline that extends into the cavity 201 and can be in direct contact with the storage battery 1 for cooling (such as a liquid cooling plate directly attached to the surface of the battery) or indirect cooling (such as an air cooling system that sends air to the inside of the cavity 201 through a pipeline). The refrigeration device 3 cools the inside of the storage battery 1 or the inside of the cavity 201 through the refrigeration pipeline, which can reduce the operating temperature of the storage battery 1 or control the temperature in the cavity 201 to maintain an appropriate operating temperature and prevent thermal runaway caused by overheating. The refrigeration device 3 can use a compressor refrigeration, absorption refrigeration or other refrigeration methods.
[0036] The inert gas source device 4 can use nitrogen, argon or other inert gases as protective gas. The inert gas source device 4 is arranged outside the mounting device 2, and inert gas is transported into the cavity 201 through the first gas inlet pipeline 5 to replace the air in the cavity 201 and reduce the oxygen content, thereby reducing the risk of fire or explosion. The gas outlet pipeline 6 is used to exhaust the gas in the cavity 201 to the outside environment to ensure the stability of the pressure in the cavity 201 and help remove harmful gases that may exist.
[0037] The photovoltaic energy storage battery device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure replaces the air in the cavity 201 with inert gas to reduce the oxygen concentration, so that even in the case of battery failure, it is difficult to cause combustion, thereby reducing the possibility of fire or explosion caused by flammable gas generated by electrochemical reaction. The refrigeration device 3 can effectively control the operating temperature of the storage battery 1 to prevent thermal runaway of the storage battery 1 caused by overheating and reduce the risk of fire and explosion. The gas in the cavity 201 is discharged through the gas outlet pipeline 6 to maintain the stability of the air pressure in the cavity 201, avoiding the possibility of fire or explosion caused by excessive internal pressure of the cavity 201. The photovoltaic energy storage battery device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure maintains an appropriate temperature range by the refrigeration device 3, plus the use of inert gas and the stability of the pressure in the cavity 201, which can effectively suppress the risk of thermal runaway of the storage battery 1 and improve the safety of the photovoltaic energy storage battery device.
[0038] In some embodiments, the mounting device 2 is arranged below the ground, and the refrigeration device 3 and the inert gas source device 4 are arranged above the ground.
[0039] The mounting device 2 is buried below the ground. Since the underground environment is generally more stable than the ground, the temperature change is small, which is conducive to keeping the storage battery 1 in a relatively constant operating temperature range. Secondly, the underground space can better isolate the storage battery 1 from the external environment, further reducing the influence of external factors on the storage battery 1.
[0040] The refrigeration device 3 is installed on the ground for easy maintenance and repair. It is connected to the storage battery 1 in the underground installation device 2 through the refrigeration pipeline, which can be a direct cooling system or an indirect cooling system. Similarly, the inert gas source device 4 is also placed on the ground for easy maintenance and repair. Inert gas (such as nitrogen) is delivered to the underground installation device 2 through the first gas inlet pipeline 5 to dilute oxygen and reduce the risk of fire. The exhaust pipeline 6 extends from the underground installation device 2 to the ground to discharge the gas in the cavity 201.
[0041] By burying the installation device 2 underground and placing the refrigeration device 3 and the inert gas source device 4 on the ground, not only can the safety of the storage battery 1 be effectively improved, but also the maintenance convenience of the refrigeration device 3 and the inert gas source device 4 can be considered.
[0042] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic energy storage battery device further comprises: a first valve provided on the refrigeration pipeline and located above the ground for controlling the opening and closing of the refrigeration pipeline; a second valve 7 provided on the first gas inlet pipeline 5 and located above the ground for controlling the opening and closing of the first gas inlet pipeline 5; a third valve 8 provided on the exhaust pipeline 6 and located above the ground for controlling the opening and closing of the exhaust pipeline 6.
[0043] The first valve is provided on the refrigeration pipeline. When the refrigeration function needs to be started or stopped, the flow of refrigerant can be controlled by opening or closing the first valve. This allows the device to flexibly adjust the refrigeration capacity according to actual needs, saving energy. The second valve 7 is installed on the first gas inlet pipeline 5 to control the delivery of inert gas. When it is not necessary to supplement inert gas into the cavity 201, the second valve 7 can be closed to prevent unnecessary gas waste. The third valve 8 is provided on the exhaust pipeline 6 to control the discharge of gas in the cavity 201. When the gas in the cavity 201 needs to be replaced or excess gas needs to be discharged, the third valve 8 is opened, and when no exhaust is needed, the valve is closed to maintain the balance of gas pressure in the cavity 201.
[0044] The three valves can be flow control valves, stop valves, ball valves, solenoid valves, etc. Through these three valves, the photovoltaic energy storage battery device can more accurately control the process of refrigeration, inert gas injection and gas discharge. This helps to achieve more precise energy management and environmental control, thereby improving overall performance. Since all valves are located above the ground, maintenance personnel can easily access and check, switch or repair the valves without entering the underground space.
[0045] In some embodiments, the first end of the exhaust pipeline 6 located in the cavity 201 is vertically arranged above the storage battery 1, and the height of the second end of the first gas inlet pipeline 5 located in the cavity 201 is lower than that of the first end in the vertical direction.
[0046] One end (i.e. the first end) of the exhaust pipeline 6 is arranged above the storage battery 1 along the vertical direction. This means that the exhaust port is located at a higher position of the cavity 201, so that the gas in the cavity 201 can be more easily exhausted. The height of one end (i.e. the second end) of the first air inlet pipeline 5 in the vertical direction is lower than that of the first end of the exhaust pipeline 6. That is, the position where the inert gas enters the cavity 201 is at a lower position, so that the inert gas can flow upward from the bottom. Since the density of the inert gas is usually higher than that of air, entering from the bottom can more quickly cover the area of the storage battery 1, reduce the oxygen content, and then rise to the upper part, so as to effectively push the original gas (such as air) in the cavity 201 to move upward and be exhausted through the exhaust pipeline 6.
[0047] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 The photovoltaic energy storage battery device further comprises a second air inlet pipeline 9 for connecting the cavity 201 and the outside world, and the second valve 7 is a three-way valve, and the second air inlet pipeline 9 is connected with the first air inlet pipeline 5 through the three-way valve.
[0048] The second air inlet pipeline 9 is designed to connect the cavity 201 and the external environment, so as to introduce fresh air or other necessary gas. The three-way valve used can realize switching or simultaneous connection between the two air inlet pipelines. The three-way valve can accurately control the gas flow between the first air inlet pipeline 5 and the second air inlet pipeline 9, so as to selectively introduce inert gas or external gas into the cavity 201 according to the needs. For example, under normal circumstances, the three-way valve will open the air inlet side to face the atmospheric environment, fill the air through the second air inlet pipeline 9, and exhaust the air through the control of the third valve 8 to make the exhaust pipeline 6, so as to maintain the stability of the air pressure in the cavity. When the internal temperature of the storage battery 1 exceeds the safety threshold, the three-way valve will turn to the inert gas source device 4, inject high-pressure inert gas into the cavity 201 through the first air inlet pipeline 5, so as to isolate the air and prevent the storage battery 1 from catching fire.
[0049] The design of the three-way valve makes the device flexible to select the use of inert gas or external gas for gas exchange in the cavity 201, to adapt to the needs of different application scenarios. By reasonably allocating the use of inert gas and external air, not only the safety is guaranteed, but also the consumption of inert gas is effectively reduced, thereby reducing the operating cost. Moreover, in the maintenance process, the use of the three-way valve makes the switching of the gas source more convenient, for example, when the inert gas source device 4 is overhauled, external air can be directly introduced without stopping the system operation.
[0050] In some embodiments, the second valve 7 can be a bidirectional valve, ensuring that the cavity 201 is always filled with inert gas. In this way, even if the battery 1 is in a thermal runaway state, the battery 1 will not catch fire due to the lack of conditions for combustion, thereby ensuring the safety of the photovoltaic energy storage battery device.
[0051] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic energy storage battery device further comprises a temperature detection device 10, which is arranged in the cavity 201 and in contact with the outer surface of the battery 1, for detecting the temperature of the battery 1; and a control device, which is arranged outside the mounting device 2 and above the ground, and is in communication connection with the temperature detection device 10, the second valve 7 and the third valve 8, respectively. The control device controls the on-off of the second valve 7 and / or the third valve 8 according to the detection signal of the temperature detection device 10.
[0052] The temperature detection device 10 is installed in the cavity 201 and directly contacts the outer surface of the battery 1, for real-time monitoring of the temperature change of the battery. This device can accurately capture the actual temperature condition of the battery, and common sensors can be used, including thermocouples, thermistors and platinum resistors. The control device, usually a PLC control device, is located above the ground outside the mounting device 2, which is convenient for operation and maintenance. The control device is in communication connection with the temperature detection device 10, the second valve 7 and the third valve 8 through wired or wireless mode.
[0053] The control device receives the temperature signal transmitted by the temperature detection device 10, and controls the opening and closing of the second valve 7 and / or the third valve 8 according to the preset temperature threshold. When the temperature of the battery 1 is detected to exceed the preset upper limit, the control device will instruct to open the second valve 7, and inject inert gas into the cavity 201 through the first gas inlet pipeline 5, so as to isolate the air and prevent the battery 1 from catching fire. At the same time, the third valve 8 is controlled so that the gas in the cavity 201 can be discharged through the exhaust pipeline 6, thereby adjusting the pressure in the cavity 201. Through the cooperation of the temperature detection device 10 and the control device, automatic monitoring and adjustment of the temperature of the battery 1 are realized, effectively preventing the thermal runaway phenomenon caused by overheating, and improving the overall safety of the system.
[0054] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic energy storage battery device further comprises a pressure detection device 11, which is arranged in the cavity 201, for detecting the pressure in the cavity 201; and a control device, which is in communication connection with the pressure detection device 11, the second valve 7 and the third valve 8, respectively. The control device controls the on-off of the second valve 7 and / or the third valve 8 according to the detection signal of the pressure detection device 11.
[0055] The pressure detection device 11 is located inside the cavity 201 and is responsible for real-time monitoring of the pressure changes inside the cavity 201. This device can be a pressure sensor or other types of pressure measurement equipment, such as a pressure switch, which can accurately reflect the pressure conditions inside the cavity 201. The control device is located above the ground outside the installation device 2 and is in communication with the pressure detection device 11, the second valve 7, and the third valve 8.
[0056] The control device receives signals from the pressure detection device 11 and controls the opening or closing of the valves according to the pre-set pressure threshold. If the pressure detection device 11 detects that the pressure inside the cavity 201 exceeds the pre-set upper limit, the control device will instruct the opening of the third valve 8, allowing the gas inside the cavity to be discharged through the exhaust pipeline 6, thereby reducing the pressure. Conversely, if the pressure inside the cavity is below the pre-set lower limit, the control device will open the second valve 7 of the second gas inlet pipeline 9 to introduce external gas (air or inert gas) to increase the pressure. Within the normal working range, the control device keeps the valves closed to maintain the stability of the pressure inside the cavity. By real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of the states of the second valve 7 and the third valve 8, effective control of the pressure inside the cavity 201 is achieved. This mechanism helps to avoid structural damage or ventilation problems caused by abnormal pressure, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the photovoltaic energy storage battery device.
[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The storage battery 1 is multiple; the first gas inlet pipeline 5 includes a main pipeline and multiple branch pipelines that are in communication with each other. The main pipeline extends from inside the cavity 201 to the outside and is connected to the inert gas source device 4. The multiple branch pipelines are located inside the cavity 201, with each branch pipeline being arranged near and corresponding to one storage battery 1.
[0058] Multiple storage batteries 1 are placed inside the cavity 201. These batteries can be connected in series or parallel to form part of the energy storage system. The first gas inlet pipeline 5 is designed to include a main pipeline and multiple branch pipelines. The main pipeline extends from inside the cavity 201 to the outside and is connected to the external inert gas source device 4. The multiple branch pipelines are located inside the cavity 201, with each branch pipeline being arranged near one storage battery 1, ensuring that inert gas can be uniformly delivered to the surroundings of each storage battery 1. After the inert gas from the inert gas source device 4 enters the cavity 201 through the main pipeline, it is delivered to the vicinity of the corresponding storage battery 1 through each branch pipeline. This design allows inert gas to be more evenly distributed throughout the cavity 201, especially around the storage batteries 1.
[0059] Through the design of multiple branch pipes, inert gas can be evenly distributed around each storage battery 1, effectively reducing the oxygen concentration and reducing the risk of fire or explosion. The multi-point gas supply mode can also ensure that even if part of the pipeline fails, other storage batteries 1 can still be protected by sufficient inert gas, thereby improving the overall safety of the photovoltaic energy storage battery device.
[0060] In some embodiments, the refrigeration pipeline includes a cooling liquid inlet pipe 301 and a cooling liquid outlet pipe 302, which are respectively connected to the heat dissipation system inside the storage battery 1; the refrigeration device 3 also includes a cooling medium, which enters the heat dissipation system through the cooling liquid inlet pipe 301 and is discharged back into the refrigeration device 3 through the cooling liquid outlet pipe 302.
[0061] The refrigeration pipeline is composed of a cooling liquid inlet pipe 301 and a cooling liquid outlet pipe 302, which are connected to the heat dissipation system inside the storage battery 1, forming a closed cooling liquid circulation. The cooling liquid inlet pipe 301 starts from the refrigeration device 3, passes through the mounting device 2 into the cavity 201, and is connected to the heat dissipation system inside the storage battery 1. The cooling medium is transported to the inside of the storage battery 1 through this pipe, and absorbs the heat generated by the storage battery 1 during charging and discharging. The cooling liquid outlet pipe 302 is also connected to the heat dissipation system inside the storage battery 1, responsible for extracting the cooling medium that has absorbed heat from the storage battery 1 and returning it to the refrigeration device 3. The function of this part of the pipeline is to remove the heated cooling medium for cooling treatment in the refrigeration device 3. The cooling medium can be a water-based solution or a special cooling liquid, which has excellent thermal conductivity and chemical stability, and circulates in the heat dissipation system inside the storage battery 1 through the inlet and outlet pipes to absorb and remove heat. The refrigeration device 3 can use existing devices, not only to provide cooling medium, but also to include cooling system components (such as heat exchangers, compressors, etc.), which function to release the heat brought out from the storage battery 1 to the environment, and to cool the medium again for recycling. Through this cooling liquid circulation system, the heat generated by the storage battery 1 can be effectively removed to prevent the storage battery 1 from being damaged or experiencing thermal runaway due to overheating, thereby improving the stability and safety of the photovoltaic energy storage battery device.
[0062] The photovoltaic energy storage battery device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can effectively and timely suppress the thermal runaway of the storage battery 1 by controlling temperature, pressure, and oxygen isolation, thereby preventing fire spread caused by thermal runaway and improving the safety of the energy storage battery.
