Description

A kind of flow battery pulsed charge-discharge system and method for improving electrolyte utilization rate
Technical field
The invention belongs to new energy energy storage field, and in particular to a kind of flow battery pulsed for improving electrolyte utilization rate Charge-discharge system and method.
Background technology
In recent years, it is also all with day to the demand of the energy with the development of human being's production and the continuous improvement of living standard Increase.However, limited non-regeneration energy can not ensure the needs of human kind sustainable development, traditional energy based on fossil energy Source Supply Structure has become the bottleneck for restricting socio-economic development.Therefore, optimize energy source use structure, develop renewable new energy Source, becomes the hot spot that the world pays close attention to and studies jointly.
However, the utilization of new energy is limited by time and external environment condition, cause its stability and continuity poor, at the same time Also more serious impact can be produced to power grid.Therefore, it is necessary to configure corresponding energy storage device in network system, filled in the energy Electric energy is stored when sufficient, is generated electricity by way of merging two or more grid systems when electricity lacks, adjusts the imbalance between supply and demand of the energy, realizes peak load shifting, and then realize energy The efficient of source exports using with the electric energy of stable and continuous.
Extensive high-efficiency energy-storage technology is to realize the key technology that renewable energy power generation scale utilizes.Redox flow Galvanic battery is to be most suitable for being applied to one of the extensive energy storage technology in renewable new energy field at present.Redox flow batteries Concept proposed earliest by L.H.Thaller, in recent years, its research and develop, engineering and industrialization also constantly obtain it is important into Exhibition, shows huge application prospect in extensive technical field of energy storage.It is different with traditional energy-storage system, oxidation solution galvanic electricity The active material in pond is dissolved in its electrolyte, and is stored in exterior fluid reservoir.Traditional flow battery structure is by two circulations Positive and negative anodes electrolyte is transferred to the pile region of battery by pump from fluid reservoir respectively, when electrolyte flows through electrode zone, in electrode Occur to mutually convert process between chemical energy and electric energy on surface, so as to fulfill the mutual conversion between electric energy and chemical energy, Achieve the purpose that energy storage.
The pile of flow battery overlaps assembling by several sections of or tens of section single batteries in the way of filter press.Each battery list Member all includes two half-cells, it, which forms component, has:Solid electrode, bipolar plates, liquid flow frame and end plate.Between two half-cells Amberplex is clipped, single battery is divided into positive and negative electrode two reaction zones domain, rising allows proton exchange, prevents other reactions Ion and the effect of foreign ion migration.Solid electrode for electrochemical reaction carry out provide reacting environment, electrode area is got over Greatly, discharge and recharge reaction speed is bigger, and corresponding power is also higher.Partition plate between two adjacent single batteries is known as double Pole plate.Flow battery system is protected by pile, electrolyte, electrolyte fluid reservoir, circulating pump, pipeline, ancillary equipment instrument and detection Protect equipment composition.Electrolyte fluid reservoir is respectively used to hold positive and negative anodes electrolyte, and is equipped with two circulating pumps and is used in closing It is each half-cell unit transportation electrolyte in pipeline.During charging, the increase of the state-of-charge (SoC) of battery, during electric discharge, battery State-of-charge (SoC) reduces.
In battery charge and discharge process, the amount of reactivity thing gradually reduces in electrolyte, especially in discharge and recharge latter stage, Reactivity thing concentration is very low, and when discharge and recharge blanking voltage scope is higher, the confession of reactivity thing easily occurs in discharge and recharge latter stage Should be insufficient, mass transfer can be caused to deteriorate, cause larger concentration polarization, reduce battery efficiency.To ensure the in liberal supply of reactant, The minimum value that can obtain flow of electrolyte by theoretical calculation is:
In formula:I is charging and discharging currents, A;F is Faraday constant, about 96485C/mol;SoC is the charged shape of battery State, can calculate and learn according to the active ion of question response in electrolyte and the ion concentration of generation.
The actual flow of electrolyte is:
Q=fac × Qmin
In formula:Fac is rate factor dimensionless constant.
But not The faster the better for the flow velocity of electrolyte, when reaching the certain flow rate upper limit, improving flow velocity cannot be further Reduce the concentration polarization loss of battery or improve battery efficiency, pump work can be increased considerably on the contrary, consume unnecessary electric energy, it is right The service life of whole battery system also has a certain impact.Therefore, in practical applications, it is 4~20 generally to take fac, dense to reconcile Contradiction between difference polarization and pump work, keeps higher battery efficiency.
However, current flow optimization model only considered the contradiction between the concentration polarization of flow battery and pump work, neglect The difference of the electrolyte state-of-charge between pile and storage tank is omited.Applicant is had found by studying, in flow battery discharge and recharge During, the state-of-charge (SoC) of electrolyte will be different between pile and storage tank, especially in the case of low flow velocity Difference between the two can be clearly.Such as in the case of the electrolyte of 1.6mol/L is used in all-vanadium flow battery, if During flow rate coefficient fac=0.5, the state-of-charge maximum difference between storage tank and pile is up to more than 0.8mol/L.When During the electrolyte outflow pile of highly charged state, the electrolyte of meeting state-of-charge low with storage tank mixes, and during this Time difference can cause the state-of-charge of electrolyte in storage tank can the permanent state-of-charge for being less than electrolyte in pile.When flow velocity very When small, difference will be clearly.Since the discharge and recharge blanking voltage of battery is all charged according to what is collected in pile What state was judged, therefore, this species diversity will seriously affect the utilization rate of electrolyte.In other words, when electrolyte in pile State-of-charge when being already higher than charge cutoff voltage, the state-of-charge of electrolyte is also very low in storage tank, this just has exhausted big portion The electrolyte divided is not utilized, and in the case of high flow rate, such case can not be solved thoroughly.By This, the method sought to reduce or eliminate electrolyte state-of-charge (SoC) difference between pile and storage tank seems particularly urgent.This hair The bright method can not only improve the utilization rate of electrolyte under any rate conditions, can also in the case of low flow velocity energy Enough current densities for improving charging, to improve the response performance of flow battery.
Traditional flow battery using two storage tanks the method for operation:First, added in positive and negative anodes electrolyte fluid reservoir Isometric electrolyte, battery carry out charging process first after bringing into operation, positive and negative anodes electrolyte is entered by circulating pump respectively The pile region of battery, and redox reaction occurs at the electrode surface, make the state-of-charge (SoC) of electrolyte increase, with The increased electrolyte outflow pile of state-of-charge (SoC) afterwards, comes back in positive and negative anodes electrolyte fluid reservoir, with fluid reservoir respectively In low state-of-charge (SoC) electrolyte mixing, the circulation of electrolyte is carried out with this, until the voltage in pile reach charging cut Only voltage.Discharge process is then carried out, the state-of-charge (SoC) of electrolyte is gradually reduced, put until the voltage in pile reaches Electric blanking voltage, completes a charge and discharge cycles.Under this method of operation, if flow velocity is too low, reactivity thing supplies in pile Should be insufficient, concentration polarization increase causes battery efficiency to reduce, and flow velocity is excessive, can make the pump work of system increase, and can equally reduce The efficiency of battery system.
In order to balance the contradiction between concentration polarization and pump work, current research be mostly by way of adjusting flow into Row optimization.Related technical personnel further investigate, and following technology occur:
The patent of invention of Application No. CN201010210100.9 disclose a kind of all vanadium flow energy-storage battery system and its Flow of electrolyte step control strategy, by different electrolytes temperature range, single battery voltage section, current density section into Row is tested, and on the basis of the energy efficiency and power consumption that consider all vanadium flow energy-storage battery system, determines different electrolytes temperature Section, single battery voltage section, the optimal flow of electrolyte of current density section are spent, and is adjusted and pumped by Inverter Based on Single Chip Microcomputer Working frequency and flow, ensure all vanadium flow energy-storage battery system run under the flow of electrolyte of selection.
The patent of invention of Application No. CN201410746201.6 discloses a kind of all-vanadium redox flow battery system electrolysis liquid stream Optimal control method is measured, by proposing a kind of control strategy of the segmentation increase flow of electrolyte in battery charge and discharge process, In cell operation, the charging and discharging state value SOC that is gathered according to charging and discharging state monitor calculates the electrolysis liquid streams of needs Amount, the working frequency of centrifugal pump is adjusted by frequency converter, ensures that all-vanadium redox flow battery system is run under the flow of selection.
However, above patent only pays attention to the contradiction reconciled between balance concentration polarization and pump work, electricity is had not focused on The difference of electrolyte state-of-charge (SoC) between heap and fluid reservoir.Under higher flow velocity, this species diversity still no To thoroughly solving.Also, this mode for adjusting flow is doomed to prevent flow battery system from being run under relatively low flow velocity, There are certain pump work loss.At present, low-down current density can only be also taken in the state of low flow velocity, is ensured in pile The supply of reactivity thing is unlikely to very few.
Also related technical personnel study the method for operation of pump.There is following technology:
The patent application of Application No. CN201410241236.4 is disclosed between a kind of fluid-flow pump of lithium ion flow battery Knock off and make automatic controller, increase a fluid-flow pump discontinuous operation automatic controller for lithium ion flow battery system, it can be certainly It is dynamic to judge lithium ion flow battery service condition, completely automatically make fluid-flow pump start and stop, discontinuous operation, makes lithium ion liquid The positive and negative anodes suspension intermittent cyclic of galvanic battery, is just gone out after the completion of being reacted into battery plus-negative plate reaction chamber by circulation.It is this Mode can reduce liquid stream pump operation time, reduce pump work.But this form is unable to the electrolyte that accuracy controlling enters pile every time Volume, and need to judge that there are one in system automation operation every time into the reaction time needed for the electrolyte of pile Fixed difficulty.
The patent application of Application No. CN201610801986.1 discloses a kind of flow battery current interrupters and adopts With the flow battery of this current interrupters, flow battery current interrupters, electric current cutout are added on the outlet conduit of electric pump Component is in intermittent flow by liquid stream by rotation mode, allows electrolyte to make electricity in intermittent sectional each pile of input The electrolyte in liquid pipeline is solved into intermittent disconnection.What " current interrupters " described in this mode substantially also functioned to is " electricity The effect of solution liquid intermittent cyclic ", but structure is relative complex, in pile for the monocell that electrolyte disconnects, equivalent to Sacrifice the output power of monocell.
