Energy storage container and fuse adapter method

[0003] With the perfection of energy storage systems and economic development needs, the power storage system industry of lithium battery chemical system develops rapidly. Since the energy stored by the lithium battery is large, if the short-circuit current range is not considered in the overall selection of the device, the system may explode and catch fire during a short-circuit process, causing direct economic losses.
[0004] However, since the short-circuit current size is not calculated and checked in advance in the system scheme design process, the trial and error cost is high and the project progress cannot meet the product development cycle. Moreover, if the short-circuit current of the fuse is selected to be small, the short-circuit current of the system in an extreme short-circuit condition is greater than the short-circuit current of the fuse, which may cause the fuse to explode and the energy storage system to catch fire, posing a safety risk. If the short-circuit current of the fuse is selected to be large, the product size is large, which requires a larger space for design. If the space is small, the electrical clearance and creepage distance may be insufficient, also posing a safety risk. SUMMARY

[0029] FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a distributed energy storage container according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, the energy storage converter PCS has a plurality of branches, and each branch is connected to a high-voltage box 300. That is, the first short-circuit protection unit and the second short-circuit protection unit of the high-voltage box 300 are both connected to one branch of the energy storage converter.

[0031] Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of a single busbar cabinet short circuit according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5, the short circuit position is on one side of the battery cluster 400, indicated by a star. Assuming that the number of battery clusters 400 connected to the busbar unit 100 is 6 clusters, when the rightmost battery cluster 400 cluster short circuits, according to Kirchhoff's law, the short circuit withstand current flows through the busbar in the busbar cabinet to the short circuit point of the branch where the faulty battery cluster 400 is located. At this time, the maximum short circuit withstand current that the busbar in the busbar cabinet can withstand is the sum of the short circuit withstand currents of all the other battery clusters 400 in the branch, i.e. the sum of the short circuit withstand currents of 5 clusters. Taking the example of a short circuit withstand current of 21 kA for each battery cluster 400 in the branch, the maximum short circuit withstand current that the busbar in the busbar cabinet can withstand is 21 kA*5 = 105 kA.
[0032] In an embodiment, the busbar unit 100 comprises at least two busbar cabinets, and the at least two busbar cabinets are connected in parallel, and a plurality of high-voltage boxes 300 are electrically connected to one of the at least two busbar cabinets.
[0033] When a short circuit occurs in one of the at least two busbar cabinets, the processing unit 200 is configured to calculate the sum of the short circuit withstand currents of n battery clusters 400, and select a fuse in the first short circuit protection unit 301 that is suitable for the energy storage container according to the sum of the short circuit withstand currents of the n battery clusters 400.
[0034] Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of a short circuit occurring in one of a plurality of busbar cabinets according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, the busbar unit 100 comprises a busbar cabinet 101 and a busbar cabinet 102, and a short circuit occurs in the busbar cabinet 102. Since the two busbar cabinets are connected in parallel, according to Kirchhoff's law, the short circuit withstand current flows through the main circuit of the busbar cabinet 101 to the short circuit point of the busbar cabinet 102. At this time, the maximum short circuit withstand current that the busbar can withstand is the sum of the short circuit withstand currents of 6 clusters, i.e. 21 kA*6 = 126 kA.
[0035] When a short circuit occurs in at least one battery cluster 400, the processing unit 200 is configured to calculate the sum of the short circuit withstand currents of 2n-x battery clusters 400, and select a fuse in the first short circuit protection unit 301 that is suitable for the energy storage container according to the sum of the short circuit withstand currents of the 2n-x battery clusters 400, where x is the number of battery clusters 400 that have short circuited.
[0036] Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram of a short circuit occurring in one battery cluster of a plurality of busbars of an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Fig. 7, the busbar unit 100 includes busbar 101 and busbar 102, and a short circuit occurs in the rightmost battery cluster 400. Since the two busbars are connected in parallel, according to Kirchhoff's law, the short circuit withstand current of the other busbar 102 flows through the busbar 101 to the short circuit point, and the maximum short circuit withstand current of the high-voltage box 300 is the sum of the short circuit withstand currents of 6 clusters plus the sum of the short circuit withstand currents of 5 clusters, i.e. the sum of the short circuit withstand currents of 11 clusters, which is 21kA*11=231kA.
[0037] In an embodiment, the battery cluster 400 includes a plurality of battery cells, and the processing unit 200 is further configured to, before selecting the first short circuit protection unit 301 according to the short circuit withstand current, obtain a correction coefficient of the short circuit withstand current of the battery cells, and determine the short circuit withstand current according to the correction coefficient and the nominal withstand current of the battery cells.
[0038] For example, the battery cells in the battery cluster 400 of the present application are of the LF628K type. Taking this type of battery cell as an example, for a single battery cell, the short circuit withstand current of the single battery cell can be represented as: I1=U1 / R1=3.2V / 0.1mΩ=32kA. Wherein, I1 is the short circuit withstand current of the single battery cell, U1 is the rated voltage of the single battery cell, and R1 is the internal resistance value of the single battery cell. The internal resistance value of the single battery cell does not need to be corrected.
[0039] For a battery pack composed of this type of battery cell, the short circuit withstand current of the battery pack can be represented as: Ip=Up / Rp=(3.2*52)V / (0.1*52)mΩ=32kA. Wherein, Ip is the short circuit withstand current of the single battery pack, Up is the rated voltage of the single battery pack, and Rp is the internal resistance value of the single battery pack. Since the measured data is less than 21kA, the correction coefficient Kp=32kA / 21kA is approximately equal to 1.53.
[0040] For a battery cluster 400 composed of a plurality of battery packs, the short circuit withstand current of the battery cluster 400 can be represented as: Ic=Uc / Rc=(3.2*416)V / (0.1*416)mΩ=32kA. Wherein, Ic is the short circuit withstand current of the single cluster, Uc is the rated voltage of the single cluster, and Rc is the internal resistance value of the single cluster. The cluster-level resistance correction coefficient is the same as that of the battery pack, which is approximately equal to 1.53. Therefore, the short circuit withstand current can be corrected to Ic=32kA / 1.53=21kA.
[0041] The present application also provides an energy storage system, which includes the energy storage container.
[0042] FIG. 8 shows a flow chart of a fuse adaptation method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 8, the fuse adaptation method is applied to the energy storage container, and the fuse adaptation method comprises the following steps:
[0043] Step S1: obtaining a short-circuit tolerance current of the battery cell;
[0044] In an embodiment, the short-circuit tolerance current of the battery cell is determined according to the correction coefficient and a nominal tolerance current of the battery cell. For example, the correction coefficient can be 1.53, and the nominal tolerance current can be 32kA. The short-circuit tolerance current of the battery cell can be obtained by dividing the nominal tolerance current by the correction coefficient, i.e., 21kA.
[0045] Step S2: calculating a maximum short-circuit tolerance current that the energy storage container can withstand according to the short-circuit tolerance current and a short-circuit position in the energy storage container;
[0046] In an embodiment, a second current detection unit is arranged in each busbar cabinet in the busbar unit, for detecting whether the busbar cabinet is short-circuited. The processing unit determines the position of the busbar cabinet or battery cluster that is short-circuited according to the current information detected by the first current detection unit and the current signal detected by the second current detection unit, and then calculates the maximum short-circuit tolerance current that the energy storage container can withstand.
[0047] When at least one battery cluster 400 is short-circuited, the processing unit 200 is configured to calculate the sum of the short-circuit tolerance currents of n-x battery clusters 400, and select the fuse in the first short-circuit protection unit 301 that is adapted to the energy storage container according to the sum of the short-circuit tolerance currents of n-x battery clusters 400, where x is the number of battery clusters 400 that are short-circuited.
[0048] For the multi-busbar cabinet architecture, when at least one busbar cabinet of the at least two busbar cabinets is short-circuited, the processing unit 200 is configured to calculate the sum of the short-circuit tolerance currents of n battery clusters 400, and select the fuse in the first short-circuit protection unit 301 that is adapted to the energy storage container according to the sum of the short-circuit tolerance currents of n battery clusters 400.
[0049] For the multi-busbar cabinet architecture, when at least one battery cluster 400 is short-circuited, the processing unit 200 is configured to calculate the sum of the short-circuit tolerance currents of 2n-x battery clusters 400, and select the fuse in the first short-circuit protection unit 301 that is adapted to the energy storage container according to the sum of the short-circuit tolerance currents of 2n-x battery clusters 400, where x is the number of battery clusters 400 that are short-circuited.
[0050] Step S3: selecting a fuse in the first short-circuit protection unit of the high-voltage box that is adapted to the energy storage container based on the maximum short-circuit withstand current of the energy storage container.
[0051] In an embodiment, a plurality of different types of fuses are provided in the first short-circuit protection unit. For example, when the maximum short-circuit withstand current of the energy storage container is calculated to be 126kA, a fuse with a maximum short-circuit withstand current of 126kA can be selected to be connected by the first protection switch in the first short-circuit protection unit.
[0052] It should be noted that a plurality of different types of fuses can also be provided in the second short-circuit protection unit. The processing unit can also select a fuse in the second short-circuit protection unit of the high-voltage box that is adapted to the energy storage container based on the maximum short-circuit withstand current of the energy storage container, and the working principle is the same as that of the first short-circuit protection unit, which will not be described again.
[0053] In summary, by detecting the short-circuit withstand current of the branch where the high-voltage box is located when the container has a short circuit by using the processing unit, and selecting a fuse in the first short-circuit protection unit that is adapted to the energy storage container according to the short-circuit withstand current, the application can check the selection of the fuse in advance from the overall perspective of the energy storage container, improve the reliability and rationality of short-circuit protection, reduce the safety risks caused by inadequate short-circuit protection, and at the same time improve the accuracy of fuse adaptation, so that the related components of short-circuit protection are smaller in size, which improves electrical safety while reducing costs.
