TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the energy storage technology field especially relates to a kind of temperature control and fire-fighting integrated coupling system for energy storage cabinet. BACKGROUND
[0002] Valley electricity and peak electricity are new electricity price types, and the significance of "peak-valley electricity price" is to encourage the consumption of low-valley electricity under the preferential conditions of low-valley electricity price, and to transfer low-valley electricity to peak period by using energy storage cabinet, which not only alleviates the supply gap of peak electricity, but also promotes the optimal allocation of electricity resources, which is a win-win strategy of "peak load shifting". Since the optimal working temperature of lithium battery is between 15℃ and 25℃, the working temperature range is between 0℃ and 45℃, and the temperature range that can be tolerated is between -20℃ and 60℃, too high or too low temperature will affect the service life and performance of the battery, so heat management is needed for the energy storage cabinet to protect the battery and effectively reduce the energy consumption of the energy storage cabinet.
[0003] In addition, the battery voltage is high during charging or after charging, the battery activity is large, the battery cell is in overcharge state, the voltage rises to form internal short circuit, which causes local thermal runaway and causes self-ignition and other conditions. As can be seen, heat management is very important for the safety of energy storage cabinet, and the energy storage system must be equipped with a temperature control system with sufficient strength and flexibility to ensure the safe and stable operation of the energy storage cabinet. Therefore, to solve the safety problem, the most fundamental problem is to solve the heat management problem.
[0004] The energy storage cabinet will generate a lot of waste heat during charging and discharging, which will cause the temperature of the energy storage cabinet to rise, and the temperature will be too high, which will reduce the service life of the battery of the energy storage cabinet and reduce the storage capacity and the efficiency of charging and discharging. The main way to cool the energy storage cabinet is air cooling, liquid cooling and phase change cooling. Since the battery air cooling technology has low heat exchange efficiency, the battery heat generation increases, which will cause the battery temperature to be too high, and there is a risk of thermal runaway; although the battery phase change cooling technology has the advantages of compact structure, low contact thermal resistance and good cooling effect, the phase change material itself does not have heat dissipation capacity, and the heat absorbed needs to be discharged by liquid cooling system, air cooling system, etc., otherwise the phase change material cannot continuously absorb heat. In addition, phase change material occupies space and has high cost; and liquid cooling system not only has the characteristics of large heat capacity, low flow resistance and high heat exchange efficiency, but also can force the battery pack to dissipate heat and realize the heat redistribution between battery modules in the case of thermal runaway precursor, which can quickly suppress the continuous deterioration of thermal runaway and reduce the risk of thermal runaway.
[0005] To this end, for example, the publication number CN113368434A discloses a new energy storage station energy storage cabinet fire and explosion prevention system, which uses carbon dioxide as a medium, can realize fire extinguishing and refrigeration inside the lithium energy storage cabinet and the control room, the carbon dioxide is recycled during refrigeration, and the carbon dioxide is sprayed during fire extinguishing, the structure is compact, the occupied area is reduced, and the operation is more convenient. Through a set of system, refrigeration and fire extinguishing can be realized, and the practicality is high. For example, the publication number CN114300773A discloses a lithium battery energy storage cabinet automatic protection system, which can ventilate and cool the inside of the lithium battery energy storage cabinet body, can realize real-time detection, has good detection effect, and can discharge the flammable gas in the lithium battery energy storage cabinet body through an exhaust pipe; low-temperature carbon dioxide is used for cooling and fire extinguishing, and has good protection effect.
[0006] There are many technologies for using carbon dioxide to realize cooling and protection of the energy storage cabinet. However, the above-mentioned disclosed technologies only consider cooling of the energy storage cabinet, and cannot realize extraction and utilization of waste heat absorbed during the cooling process of the energy storage cabinet, so there is a problem of energy waste.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] In order to make the content of the utility model more easily understood clearly, the following according to specific embodiment and combining with the drawings, the utility model is further explained in detail.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 The embodiment provides a coupling system for temperature control and fire-fighting of an energy storage cabinet, which comprises a cold and heat pump unit, and a heat supply unit and a cooling unit connected with the cold and heat pump unit respectively.
[0027] Specifically, the cold and heat pump unit comprises a compressor 1, an air cooler 2 connected with the compressor 1, a throttle valve 3 connected with the air cooler 2 and an evaporator 4 connected with the throttle valve 3; the evaporator 4 is also connected with the compressor 1. The heat supply unit comprises a high-temperature water tank 5 connected with a heat-using scenario 8 and storing high-temperature water, and a first normal-temperature water tank 9 for recovering normal-temperature water cooled after passing through the heat-using scenario 8; wherein the air cooler is connected with the first normal-temperature water tank 9 and the high-temperature water tank 5 simultaneously. The cooling unit comprises a low-temperature water tank 10 connected with the energy storage cabinet 13 and storing cooling water, and a second normal-temperature water tank 14 for recovering normal-temperature water heated after passing through the energy storage cabinet 13; wherein the evaporator 4 is connected with the second normal-temperature water tank 14 and the low-temperature water tank 10 simultaneously.
[0028] Based on the above situation, furthermore, the cold and heat pump unit further comprises carbon dioxide working medium adapted to flow among the compressor 1, the air cooler 2, the throttle valve 3 and the evaporator 4.
[0029] Secondly, the first water pump 6 is further arranged between the high-temperature water tank 5 and the heat-using scenario 8. The first water valve 7 is arranged between the first water pump 6 and the heat-using scenario 8.
[0030] In addition, in an optional implementation, the low-temperature water tank 10 is further connected with a spray network pipe 16 for spraying cooling water to the energy storage cabinet 13. In this regard, it should be noted that the pipeline for connecting the spray network pipe 16 with the low-temperature water tank 10 is connected in parallel with the pipeline for connecting the energy storage cabinet 13 with the low-temperature water tank 10. The second water pump 11 is further arranged between the low-temperature water tank 10, the spray network pipe 16 and the energy storage cabinet 13. The third water valve 15 is arranged between the second water pump 11 and the spray network pipe 16. The second water valve 12 is arranged between the second water pump 11 and the energy storage cabinet 13.
[0031] Based on the above, the compressor 1 is used to compress the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous carbon dioxide to high-temperature and high-pressure state; the gas cooler 2 is used to absorb the compression heat of the compressor 1; the throttle valve 3 is used to reduce the pressure of the carbon dioxide, while the temperature is also reduced. The evaporator 4 is used for the gasification of the carbon dioxide, while the medium or high-temperature water flowing out of the energy storage cabinet 13 or the spray network pipe 16 is cooled to form cooling water, and then the cooling water is stored in the low-temperature water tank 10. The first normal-temperature water tank 9 is used to recover and store the high-temperature water after releasing heat, and absorb the heat of the carbon dioxide working medium; the second normal-temperature water tank 14 is used to recover and store the low-temperature water after absorbing heat, and transfer the heat to the carbon dioxide working medium. It should be noted that the second normal-temperature water tank 14 can also be connected with the spray network pipe 16 through a pipeline, which can supplement the water when the water amount of the low-temperature water tank 10 is insufficient for fire extinguishing, and also can improve the water spraying pressure when the second normal-temperature water tank 14 and the low-temperature water tank 10 are used together, thereby improving the fire extinguishing efficiency of the energy storage cabinet 13 in a short time.
[0032] In summary, for the coupling system for temperature control and fire extinguishing of the energy storage cabinet in the embodiment, the general implementation principle is as follows:
[0033] The low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous carbon dioxide enters the compressor 1 and is compressed to high-temperature and high-pressure state, and the carbon dioxide at the outlet of the compressor 1 enters the gas cooler 2, which absorbs the compression heat of the carbon dioxide by using the water returned in the first normal-temperature water tank 9 in various heat-using scenes 8, and then enters the high-temperature water tank 5 for storage after being heated. The cooled normal-temperature and high-pressure carbon dioxide further enters the throttle valve 3 to reduce the pressure, and then enters the evaporator 4 to absorb the heat from the energy storage cabinet 13, and then undergoes a new round of compression.
[0034] The high-temperature water in the high-temperature water tank 5 supplies heat to various heat-using scenes 8, and the high-temperature water absorbing the cold energy of various heat-using scenes 8 is stored in the first normal-temperature water tank 9, and the cold energy absorbed and stored from various heat-using scenes 8 is transferred to the gas cooler 2 and then returned to the high-temperature water tank 5.
[0035] When the temperature of the energy storage cabinet 13 is too high, the cooling water in the low-temperature water tank 10 is used to provide cold energy for the energy storage cabinet 13, the cooling water after transferring the cold energy is heated and recovered to the second normal-temperature water tank 14, and continues to participate in the cycle of absorbing the cold energy in the evaporator 4 and returning to the low-temperature water tank 10. When the energy storage cabinet 13 loses control and causes a fire, the cooling water in the low-temperature water tank 10 is used to provide cooling water for the spray network pipe 16.
[0036] Therefore, the embodiment can produce hot water and cold water by using the heat pump unit to control the temperature of the energy storage cabinet 13 and the fire extinguishing system of the energy storage cabinet 13, and recycle the waste heat of the energy storage cabinet 13 for various heat utilization scenes 8. On the one hand, the energy storage cabinet 13 can be maintained in an optimal working temperature range, so that the energy storage cabinet 13 can stably and efficiently operate, and a large amount of energy can be stored and a large energy storage efficiency can be maintained. On the other hand, when the energy storage cabinet 13 loses control and causes a fire, the cooling water produced by the heat pump unit can be used for spraying the pipe network 16 to cool and extinguish the fire of the out-of-control energy storage cabinet 13, so that the out-of-control energy storage cabinet 13 system can control the fire in the first time and reduce the damage to the minimum. In addition, the waste heat generated by the energy storage cabinet 13 during valley electricity energy storage and peak electricity energy release can be recycled by using the heat pump unit, and the recycled excess waste heat can be used for various heat utilization scenes 8, which not only reduces the utilization of energy, but also reduces the electricity cost and promotes the peak load shifting of electricity.
