[0025] This invention provides a knowledge graph-based fault recognition method and apparatus for an energy storage power plant, in order to comprehensively and accurately evaluate the operating status of the energy storage power plant and to realize long-term fault early warning.

[0026] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a knowledge graph-based energy storage power plant fault recognition method according to an exemplary embodiment. The knowledge graph-based energy storage power plant fault recognition method includes the following steps S101 to S103, as shown in Figure 1.

[0027] Step S101: Obtain status data for the energy storage power plant.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, an energy storage power plant is a facility system that stores, converts, and releases recyclable electrical energy using an electrochemical battery or an electromagnetic energy storage medium. It can effectively solve problems such as peak modulation of the power system, output stabilization, improvement of electrical energy quality, and peak shaving, and is of great importance in balancing load fluctuations.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the energy storage power plant includes equipment such as a battery pack, an energy storage converter, and an isolation transformer. Here, the battery pack serves as the core equipment of the energy storage power plant and is used to store electrical energy. The battery pack typically consists of multiple battery cells, which may be lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries, etc. The energy storage converter is used to perform energy conversion between the battery pack and the power grid, and includes charging and discharging. The isolation transformer isolates the energy storage power plant from the power grid, ensuring the independent operation and safety of the energy storage power plant.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the state data of the energy storage power plant may include external parameters, internal battery parameters, thermal diffusion parameters, etc., based on relevant factors in the thermal runaway process of the energy storage power plant.

[0031] Step S102: The state data is input into an energy storage plant failure recognition model, which is pre-built based on a thermal runaway knowledge graph that characterizes the relationship between the state data of the energy storage plant and the thermal runaway process, and the failure status and transition path of the energy storage plant are predicted.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the energy storage power plant fault recognition model may be constructed using algorithms such as machine learning, and is not specifically limited thereto.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the failure conditions predicted based on the energy storage power plant failure recognition model may be failure conditions of individual components in the energy storage power plant, failure conditions of batteries, or failure conditions of other components in the energy storage power plant, and are not specifically limited thereto.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the transition path predicted based on the energy storage power plant failure recognition model is the transition path of each piece of equipment in the energy storage power plant under the given state data.

[0035] Step S103: Determine the safety risk level of the energy storage power plant based on the failure status and progression path.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the safety risk level of an energy storage power plant is determined based on the failure conditions and the degree of loss due to the transition path. Different failure conditions and different transition paths result in different safety risk levels.

[0037] Based on the above method, the system predicts the failure status and progression path of an energy storage power plant based on real-time monitored status data of the energy storage power plant and an energy storage power plant failure recognition model constructed based on a thermal runaway knowledge graph that characterizes the relationship between the status data and the thermal runaway process. It comprehensively predicts the thermal runaway process that may occur in the energy storage power plant, and further determines the safety risk level of the energy storage power plant based on the failure status and progression path, thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation of the energy storage power plant. By applying status data related to the thermal runaway process to the energy storage power plant for failure prediction and progression path prediction, the system comprehensively covers various data in the thermal runaway process of the energy storage power plant, and considers various possible factors related to the thermal runaway process, it achieves accurate pre-assessment of the safety risk of the energy storage power plant, enables timely detection of potential failures and safety risks, provides long-term early warning of failures, provides reference and decision-making support to maintenance personnel, and avoids the occurrence of fire events in the energy storage power plant.

[0038] In one example, in step S102 above, an energy storage power plant failure recognition model is constructed by the following steps.

[0039] Step a1: Obtain a thermal runaway knowledge graph for the energy storage power plant, which includes the historical state data of the energy storage power plant, the historical failure conditions corresponding to the historical state data, and the historical transition path.

[0040] Step a2: The initial energy storage plant failure recognition model is obtained by training the initial energy storage plant failure recognition model with historical state data as input and historical failure conditions and historical transition paths as outputs.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, the thermal runaway knowledge graph includes the relationship between the state data of the energy storage power plant and the thermal runaway process. An energy storage power plant failure recognition model is obtained by training an initial energy storage power plant failure recognition model with historical state data, historical failure conditions corresponding to the historical state data, and historical transition paths. Based on the state data related to the thermal runaway process of the energy storage power plant, various factors are comprehensively considered to improve the prediction accuracy of the energy storage power plant failure recognition model.

[0042] In one example, in step a1 above, the thermal runaway knowledge graph of the energy storage power plant is obtained by the following steps.

[0043] Step b1: Determine the state data type of the energy storage power plant based on the battery thermal runaway transition mechanism.

[0044] In preferred embodiments, the battery thermal runaway transition mechanism includes trigger elements, chemical reactions, heat transfer and heat storage, physical manifestations of thermal runaway, and chain reactions of thermal runaway. When determining the thermal runaway process of an energy storage power plant, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the above factors and analyze them in accordance with the actual operating conditions of the energy storage power plant. A deep understanding of the battery thermal runaway transition mechanism can lead to more accurate prediction and prevention of thermal runaway events in energy storage power plants, thereby improving the safety and stability of the energy storage power plant.

[0045] In preferred embodiments, thermal runaway of a battery can be triggered by various factors such as overcharging, over-discharging, high temperatures, and short circuits, which can accelerate chemical reactions within the battery and generate a large amount of heat.

[0046] In preferred embodiments, the chemical reactions that cause thermal runaway in a battery typically include oxidation-reduction reactions between the positive and negative electrode materials, and decomposition of the electrolyte. These reactions generate large amounts of heat and gas, increasing the temperature and pressure inside the battery.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, heat transfer refers to the transfer of heat to the external environment through the battery housing when the internal temperature of the battery rises. If thermal control is inadequate, the battery temperature will continue to rise, leading to heat buildup.

[0048] In preferred embodiments, as the battery temperature rises, the physical properties of the battery also change, such as expansion of the housing and leakage of the electrolyte. These physical manifestations can be important evidence for determining whether or not the battery has experienced thermal runaway.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, a thermal runaway chain reaction refers to the possibility that once a battery experiences thermal runaway, it can trigger a chain reaction including temperature increases in adjacent batteries and electrolyte leakage. These chain reactions can affect the safety of the entire energy storage power plant.

[0050] Step b2: Based on the state data type, retrieve the historical state data of the energy storage power plant.

[0051] Step b3: Based on the historical status data, obtain the historical failure status and historical transition path corresponding to the historical status data.

[0052] In one example, in step b1 above, the status data type of the energy storage power plant is determined as follows.

[0053] First, the thermal runaway process of an energy storage power plant is determined based on the battery thermal runaway transition mechanism. Exemplary examples include external processes (e.g., external usage conditions), internal battery change processes (including, but not limited to, SEI film decomposition, dendrite growth, positive electrode oxygen release, negative electrode lithium deposition, internal short circuits, and electrolyte leakage), and thermal runaway generation processes.

[0054] Then, the state data type is determined based on the thermal runaway process.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, the state data type of the energy storage power plant is determined based on the battery thermal runaway transition mechanism. According to the battery thermal runaway transition mechanism, it is possible to better analyze the transition process of battery thermal runaway, and by determining the relevant data in the transition process of battery thermal runaway as state data, the failure status and transition path of the energy storage power plant can be monitored and predicted more comprehensively and accurately.

[0056] In one example, the thermal runaway process includes an external process, an internal battery change process, and a thermal runaway generation process.

[0057] Here, external processes refer to external usage processes. Exemplary examples include processes that mechanically trigger battery thermal runaway (for example, collisions that deform the lithium battery pack, short circuits inside the battery pack, and other actions that damage the battery pack can cause battery thermal runaway).

[0058] The internal battery change process refers to the electrochemical reactions involved in thermal runaway within the battery, such as the decomposition reactions of the positive and negative electrodes, the interactions between the positive and negative electrodes, and internal short circuits. Simultaneously, when the temperature reaches 120-130°C, the protective SEI film breaks down, the negative electrode reacts with the solvent and binder, the temperature rises, and the separator melts and closes. After the temperature continues to rise above 150°C, the internal electrolyte begins to decompose, continuously releasing heat and further heating the battery.

[0059] The thermal runaway process refers to the process where, when the battery temperature reaches 200°C or higher, the positive electrode material decomposes, releasing a large amount of heat and gas, causing the temperature to continue rising. Between 250 and 350°C, the negative electrode, in a lithium-storage state, begins to react with the electrolyte. In the final reaction, the electrolyte reacts violently with the oxygen generated by the reaction between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, further causing thermal runaway in the battery.

[0060] In the embodiments of this application, the state data type is determined according to the following:

[0061] First, the external parameters of the energy storage power plant are determined based on an external process. In the embodiments of this application, the external parameters include external usage parameters and external environmental parameters.

[0062] In preferred embodiments, external usage parameters include mechanical abuse data (needling, shock, etc.), thermal abuse data (high temperature, low temperature), electrical abuse data (overcharge, short circuit, etc.), and battery quality data. External environmental parameters include, but are not limited to, temperature, humidity, wind speed, and illuminance. These external environmental parameters reflect the environmental conditions of the energy storage power plant and can affect the operating state and lifespan of the battery. Here, the charge / discharge performance and lifespan of the battery are closely related to temperature. Excessive temperature can lead to dangers such as internal short circuits and thermal runaway in the battery. Therefore, monitoring the temperature of the energy storage power plant allows for the timely detection of potential safety risks and the implementation of appropriate countermeasures. Excessive humidity can cause problems such as internal short circuits and corrosion in the battery. Therefore, monitoring the humidity of the energy storage power plant can ensure the normal operation and lifespan of the battery. Wind speed has a significant impact on the heat dissipation and cooling effect of the energy storage power plant. In hot weather, slow wind speeds can cause the battery temperature to become too high, potentially leading to thermal runaway. Therefore, by monitoring the wind speed of an energy storage power plant, the cooling system can be adjusted in a timely manner to ensure the normal operation of the batteries. For solar energy storage power plants, light irradiation intensity is an important factor that affects the amount of power generated by the batteries. If the illumination is too strong, the batteries may overheat, potentially affecting their lifespan. Therefore, by monitoring the light irradiation intensity of an energy storage power plant, the operating conditions of the batteries can be adjusted in a timely manner to ensure the normal operation and lifespan of the batteries.

[0063] Next, the internal parameters of the battery in the energy storage power plant are determined based on the internal change process of the battery.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, the internal parameters of the battery in the energy storage power plant include voltage, current, temperature, and charge state.

[0065] Battery voltage is an important parameter that reflects the state of electrochemical reactions inside the battery. By monitoring the battery voltage, it is possible to determine the battery's charge / discharge state and whether or not there are any abnormal conditions such as internal short circuits.

[0066] Battery current is a parameter that reflects the battery's charge and discharge capacity. By monitoring the battery current, it is possible to determine the battery's charge and discharge rate and efficiency, as well as whether or not overcharging or over-discharging is occurring.

[0067] Battery temperature is a crucial parameter that reflects the thermal equilibrium state inside the battery. By monitoring the battery temperature, it is possible to determine the battery's heat dissipation effectiveness, safety, and the presence or absence of a risk of thermal runaway.

[0068] The charge rate is a parameter that reflects the remaining capacity of the battery. By monitoring the charge rate, it is possible to determine the remaining battery capacity and whether there is a shortage of power or overcharging.

[0069] Next, the thermal diffusion parameters of the energy storage power plant are determined based on the thermal runaway generation process.

[0070] In preferred embodiments, thermal diffusion parameters include, but are not limited to, the thermal resistance between the cell and the side plate, the thermal resistance between cells, the thickness of the outer insulation pad on the side plate, and the thermal resistance between the cell and the water cooling plate. Furthermore, thermal diffusion parameters may also include trigger conditions, diffusion rate, and diffusion range. Here, trigger conditions refer to voltage drop and heating rate. > 1°C / s refers to a temperature exceeding the battery's permissible limit.

[0071] Finally, the state data type is determined based on the external parameters, internal battery parameters, and thermal diffusion parameters. For example, using the external parameters, internal battery parameters, and thermal diffusion parameters as the state data type, state data corresponding to an energy storage power plant can be collected based on the state data type.

[0072] In the embodiment of this invention, the thermal runaway process is comprehensively analyzed, divided into an external process, an internal battery change process, and a thermal runaway generation process. External parameters are determined based on the external process, internal battery parameters are determined based on the internal battery change process, and thermal diffusion parameters are determined based on the thermal runaway generation process. Corresponding parameters are determined for different thermal runaway processes, and by comprehensively understanding the operating status and failure status of the energy storage power plant, this contributes to improving the prediction accuracy of the energy storage power plant failure recognition model.

[0073] For example, the method provided in the embodiments of this application is This further includes transmitting preventative alert information to energy storage power plants based on safety risk levels.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present invention, based on the safety risk level, preventive alarm information is transmitted to the energy storage power plant in a timely manner, alerting maintenance personnel to potential safety risks, enabling appropriate preventive and control measures to be taken, thereby improving maintenance work efficiency, avoiding accidents, and contributing to reducing losses due to fires at the energy storage power plant.

[0075] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present application further provide a knowledge graph-based energy storage power plant fault recognition device. As shown in Figure 2, the device includes the following:
