The invention provides a modularized
cold storage system and method capable of monitoring a
thermocline, relates to the technical field of low-temperature
energy storage, and solves the problems that a low-temperature
storage tank cannot monitor distribution of the
thermocline in the tank, and the low-temperature
storage tank cannot realize modularized design to meet various cold energy application requirements. According to the invention, the first-stage
cold storage units composed of the second-stage
cold storage units and the monitoring units are arranged, and the parallel path combination of the plurality of first-stage cold storage units and the main pipeline is realized by controlling the opening and closing of the bypass pipeline switch valves so as to adapt to different cold energy requirements; and meanwhile, a
thermocline temperature distribution formula is corrected in real time by using data acquired by a multidirectional temperature sensor in the monitoring unit. Various cold energy requirements are met through the modular
assembly, the monitoring unit is combined with the thermocline temperature distribution formula to monitor thermocline temperature field distribution in the low-temperature
storage tank in real time,
visualization of the temperature field in the storage tank in the cold storage / cold release process is achieved, meanwhile, the cold storage / cold release efficiency and the operation stability are improved, and the
energy consumption and the site
adaptation threshold are reduced.
