目前,市场中的储能系统通常为大容量储能系统,储能系统内会包括多个串并联的电池。在储能系统的使用过程中,电池内的电池单体由于机械、环境或制造缺陷会出现偶发性热失控,其释放的热量会向周围电池单体传递,若不及时处理最终可能导致整个储能系统发生热扩散,从而引发燃烧、爆炸等二次灾害,给储能系统的安全可靠运行带来重大影响。因此需要一种可以提高储能系统安全性的方法。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供了一种储能系统以及储能系统热管理的方法,该储能系统包括多个电池及液冷系统,液冷系统中包括与多个电池对应的多个水泵,当电池单体发生热失控时,开启该电池单体所在的电池所对应的水泵,可以实现对失效电池的精准降温。该方案可以防止储能系统发生热扩散并降低液冷系统的功耗。接下来将结合附图,详细说明本申请实施例中的方案。
图2和图3是本申请实施例的储能系统20的结构示意图。图3是电池单体发生热失控是储能系统20的结构示意图。如图2和图3所示,储能系统20中包括多个电池11和液冷系统40,液冷系统40包括与多个电池11对应的多个水泵143和热管理单元41。热管理单元41可以用于确定热失控的电池单体111所在的第一电池15,并开启第一电池15对应的第一水泵1431,以对第一电池15进行降温。
其中,电池11包括一个或多个电池单体110。
当某一电池单体110发生热失控成为热失控的电池单体111,热管理单元41确定热失控的电池单体111对应的第一电池15,并开启第一电池15对应的第一水泵1431,可以使得第一水泵1431与第一电池15连接管道中的冷却液持续循环,进而实现对失效的第一电池15进行精准降温,从而降低液冷系统40的功耗。
可选地,在一些实施例中,储能系统20还可以包括电池管理系统13,热管理单元41可以用于接收电池管理系统13发送的第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示第一电池15,再根据第一指示信息确定第一电池15。
电池管理系统13主要就是为了智能化管理及维护各个电池单元,可以防止电池出现过充电和过放电,延长电池的使用寿命,监控电池的状态。电池管理系统13可以与液冷系统40的热管理单元41相连接。
应理解,电池单体110发生热失控,则该电池单体110所在的电池11为失效电 池。当出现热失控的电池单体111时,热管理单元41可以接收电池管理系统13发送的第一指示信息,根据第一指示信息判断出现热失控的电池单体111所在的第一电池15,然后开启第一电池15对应的第一水泵1431,以对第一电池15降温,从而实现对失效电池的精准降温,降低液冷系统40的功耗。另外,还可以防止整个储能系统20发生热扩散,提高储能系统20的安全性。
可选地,在一些实施例中,多个电池11可以对应一个水泵143,也就是说,可以将储能系统20中所有电池11分为多个电池簇,每个电池簇对应一个水泵143,其中每个电池簇包括多个电池。当电池簇中某一电池11的电池单体110发生热失控,该电池簇对应的水泵143可以同时对该电池簇内多个电池11进行降温,以防止储能系统20发生热扩散。示例性的,储能系统中包括M个电池11,该M个电池11可以对应N个水泵143,其中,M和N为自然数且M≥N。通过向多个电池配备一个水泵,相较于向每个电池11配备一个水泵143,可以降低储能系统20的配置,节省空间和资源。
可选地,在一些实施例中,第一指示信息可以包括第一电池15的位置信息或标识信息。
上述实施例,热管理单元41可以根据第一电池15的位置信息或标识信息开启第一电池15所对应的第一水泵1431,从而实现对失效电池的精准降温,降低液冷系统40的功耗。另外,还可以防止整个储能系统20发生热扩散,提高储能系统20的安全性。
可选地,在一些实施例中,电池管理系统13可以用于接收异常指示信息,异常指示信息可以用于指示存在热失控的电池单体111,还可以根据异常指示信息确定热失控的电池单体111所在的第一电池15,并向热管理单元41发送第一指示信息。
本申请实施例中,电池管理系统13在收到异常指示信息后,可以根据发送异常指示信息的对象确定是哪一个电池11内部的电池单体110发生了热失控,从而将该电池11的信息发送至热管理单元41,使热管理单元41开启该电池11所对应的水泵143,以对该电池11进行降温,从而防止整个储能系统20发生热扩散,并且由于精准降温还降低了液冷系统40的功耗。
可选地,在一些实施例中,热管理单元41还可以用于接收电池管理系统13发送的第二指示信息,第二指示信息包括第一水泵1431的功率信息,热管理单元41还可以用于根据第二指示信息调节第一水泵1431的功率。
应理解,第一水泵1431的功率可以调节,例如可以通过控制供电功率来调节第一水泵1431的功率。电池管理系统13可以向热管理单元41发送第二指示信息来指示热管理单元41调节第一水泵1431的功率,该第二指示信息包括第一水泵1431的功率信息。
第一水泵1431的功率信息可以包括设定的功率值和开启时间长度,也可以包括功率调节的策略,示例性的,第一水泵1431开启时以第一功率值供电,随后随着时间的推移每十分钟降低十分之一的功率。
可选地,在一些实施例中,电池管理系统13还可以用于确定第一水泵1431的功率,并向热管理单元41发送第二指示信息。
电池管理系统13可以根据厂商要求或实际情况,例如热失控的严重程度,确定第一水泵1431的功率或制定第一水泵1431的功率计划,以节省液冷系统40的功耗。
可选地,在一些实施例中,电池管理系统20可以用于获取热失控的电池单体111的运行状态,并根据热失控的电池单体111的运行状态确定第一水泵1431的功率。
应理解,电池单体310的运行状态可以是温度、电压等监测数据。
电池管理系统20在确定存在热失控的电池单体111时并指示热管理单元41开启第一水泵1431后,还可以实时获取热失控的电池单体111的运行状态,并根据该运行状态实时调节第一水泵1431的功率。例如,电池管理系统13实时获取热失控的电池单体111的温度,一般在热失控前期,温度较高,此时可以给第一水泵1431使用最高功率给第一电池15降温,然后随着温度的降低逐渐降低第一水泵1431的功率。
上述实施例中,通过实时获取热失控的电池单体111的运行状态调节为其降温的第一水泵1431的功率,可以实现降温效果与功率消耗的平衡,从而以最大程度节省液冷系统40的功耗。
可选地,在一些实施例中,电池管理系统13可以用于根据第一水泵1431的开启时间段确定第一水泵1431的功率。
应理解,水泵143在向电池11进行降温时,一般电池管理系统13会设置水泵143的开启时间段,即时间长度,例如持续开启水泵143的时间为1小时,也可以根据实际需求设置为其他时长,本申请对此不作限定。
电池管理系统13可以根据电池单体110发生热失控后的状态规律,在第一水泵1431的开启时间段内设置不同的功率,以实现降温效果与功率消耗的平衡,从而节 省功耗。
可选地,在一些实施例中,时间段可以包括多个子时间段,其中至少两个子时间段内第一水泵1431的功率不同;或第一水泵1431的功率在时间段内逐渐降低。
为了节省功耗,第一水泵1431的开启时间段可以被分为多个子时间段,在不同的时间段内设置不同的功率。示例性的,第一水泵1431的开启时间段为1小时,将1小时分为3个子时间段,每个子时间段的时长为20分钟。由于第一子时间段第一电池15处于热失控的前期,可以将第一水泵1431的功率设置为最高功率;在经过第一子时间段的降温后,第一电池15的温度已经下降,第二子时间段可以降低一部分功率为其降温;经过前两个子时间段的降温,第一电池15的温度更低,此时可以以较低功率使第一水泵1431运行,从而实现降温效果与功率消耗的平衡,以节省功耗。
第一水泵1431的功率可以在开启时间段内逐渐降低,例如,以线性降低或曲线降低的方式,从而现降温效果与功率消耗的平衡,以节省液冷系统40的功耗。
可选地,在一些实施例中,电池11还可以包括探测器12,用于采集电池11中电池单体110的运行状态,并根据运行状态确定存在热失控的电池单体111,并向电池管理系统13发送异常指示信息。
应理解,多个电池中的每个电池11都包含探测器12,电池11在使用时,探测器12可以对电池11内部的每个电池单体110进行实时检测,以确定电池单体110是否处于安全范围内,从而确定电池单体110是否发生异常,即电池单体110是否发生热失控。
探测器12采集到电池单体110的运行状态后,可以根据该运行状态判断是否存在热失控的电池单体111。一般地,确定存在热失控的电池单体111可以依据以下特征:监测点的温度达到制造商规定的最高工作温度;触发对象产生电压降,且下降值与初始电压的比例超过预设比例。其中,当上述任意一种特征发生时,确定存在热失控的电池单体111。
可选地,在一些实施例中,探测器12还可以包括气感传感器、烟感传感器以及电解液传感器中至少一个。
应理解,除了常规使用的温度传感器和电压传感器检测电池单体110的运行状态,本申请实施例还可以利用气味传感器、烟感传感器或电解液传感器检测电池单体110是否发生热失控。也就是说,确定存在热失控的电池单体111还可以依据以下特征: 监测点检测识别到特定气味;监测点检测识别到烟雾;漏液感应线检测到液体。其中,当上述任意一种特征发生时,确定存在热失控的电池单体111。
上述实施例中,在电池11中增加了多样化传感器,可使得电池管理系统13能够以更多途径确定是否存在热失控的电池单体111,以快速响应该异常情况,提高了储能系统20的安全性。
可选地,在一些实施例中,储能系统20的供电系统在存在热失控的电池单体111时,停止向液冷系统40供电,储能系统20还可以包括备用电源60,用于供电系统60停止向液冷系统40供电后,向热管理单元41和第一水泵1431供电。
应理解,要实现上述储能系统20中第一电池的主动降温策略,保证液冷机组40的供电是关键,尤其是要保证液冷系统40中热管理单元41与第一水泵1431的供电。常规的液冷系统40只有一路供电,即供电系统提供的电能,可以将供电系统理解为市电。但当发生热失控的电池单体111时,供电系统会停止向液冷系统40供电,为了应对该情况,本申请实施例中的储能系统20配备了备用电源60,可以在供电系统停止向液冷系统40供电后,保证热管理单元41和第一水泵1431的供电,以对热失控的电池单体111所在的第一电池15进行降温,保证储能系统20内部不发生热扩散,从而提高储能系统20的安全性。
示例性的,备用电源60可以是蓄电池,蓄电池可以向热管理单元41和水泵143供电。具体地,当存在热失控的电池单体111时,电池管理系统40控制蓄电池向热管理单元41和第一水泵1431供电,且在蓄电池向热管理单元41和第一水泵1431输出电流时,热管理单元41开始接收电池管理系统13的指示信息,第一水泵1431开始运转,以控第一水泵1431与第一电池15连接管道中的冷却液循环,以对第一电池15进行降温,防止储能系统20发生热扩散,从而提高储能系统20的安全性。
可选地,在一些实施例中,参考图4和图5,备用电源60可以通过直流供电电路向热管理单元41和第一水泵1431供电;或备用电源60可以通过逆变器61连接液冷系统40的交流供电电路以向液冷系统40供电,其中逆变器61可以用于将备用电源60的直流电转化为液冷系统40所需的交流电。
应理解,备用电源60通过直流供电电路向热管理单元41和第一水泵1431供电时,备用电源60与热管理单元41和第一水泵1431之间连接,向热管理单元41和第一水泵1431直接传输直流电。
备用电源60通过逆变器61连接液冷系统40的交流供电电路以向液冷系统40供电时,备用电源60与液冷系统40连接电路之间配置逆变器61,备用电源60的直流电经过逆变器61转化为交流电再传输至液冷系统40。
其中逆变器61也可以是其他逆变模块,只要可以将备用电源60输出的直流电转化为液冷系统40所需的直流电即可,以保证液冷系统40的供电,从而保证液冷系统40中热管理单元41和第一水泵1431的正常运行。
上述实施例中,备用电源60可以通过直流供电电路向热管理单元41和向发生热失控的电池单体111所在的第一电池15对应的第一水泵1431进行供电,不仅可以保证液冷系统40的安全性,还可以降低备用电源60的配置容量,节约成本和空间。
应理解,本申请实施例对电路的连接关系不作限定,在实际应用中,图2-图5的各部件之间还可能连接其他的设备。
