Description
[ technical field ] A
The invention belongs to the technical field of battery pack thermal runaway judgment, and relates to a system and a method for judging thermal runaway chain reaction of an energy storage battery pack.
[ background ] A method for producing a semiconductor device
In recent years, many fire accidents occur in lithium ion battery energy storage power stations, particularly in korea, 29 accidents have occurred so far, and the safety problem of the energy storage battery has attracted high attention inside and outside the industry. Because the material that the lithium ion energy storage battery adopted is combustible material, for example, electrolyte is combustible organic electrolyte, diaphragm and graphite negative pole are also combustible material to energy storage battery can take place thermal runaway reaction under the abuse condition, these all make lithium ion energy storage battery have potential safety risk, and when lithium ion energy storage battery is in abnormal operating condition (overcharge, overheated etc.), can initiate lithium ion energy storage battery's thermal runaway reaction, and then just probably the incident such as the fire, burning even explosion appears. The thermal runaway refers to the phenomenon that after an energy storage battery is stimulated by an external stimulus, complex physicochemical and electrochemical side reactions occur inside the battery, the side reactions often have a heat release effect, the heat release effect can further increase the temperature of the battery until large-scale heat release side reactions occur inside the battery, at the moment, the surface temperature of the battery can rapidly rise (approximately linearly rise), and the consequence is that the internal pressure of the battery is rapidly increased, a pressure release valve is broken, a large amount of high-temperature gas and liquid are sprayed out, and the high-temperature gas and liquid can ignite under certain conditions and then burn violently.
It is known from accident reports and related research documents of battery energy storage power stations that individual batteries in a lithium ion energy storage power station further form a thermal runaway chain reaction after thermal runaway occurs, that is, thermal runaway of individual batteries causes adjacent batteries to generate thermal runaway successively, so as to cause a global fire accident. The reason for triggering the thermal runaway chain reaction is that the external energy impact on the battery exceeds the triggering critical condition of the thermal runaway reaction of the battery, and the energy released by the thermal runaway of the battery exceeds the critical energy for triggering the thermal runaway reaction of the battery.
In order to improve the safety of the energy storage power station, various measures are required to prevent the thermal runaway chain reaction of the lithium ion energy storage battery from occurring, or comprehensive protection measures are required to be taken in a targeted manner according to the severity of the thermal runaway chain reaction of the lithium ion energy storage battery to inhibit the speed and the strength of the thermal runaway chain reaction. Therefore, the critical condition of the thermal runaway chain reaction of the lithium ion energy storage battery needs to be judged, and only the targeted protection measures can be taken, for example, when the energy released by the thermal runaway of the battery is judged to exceed the critical energy for triggering the thermal runaway reaction of the battery, and is easy to occur or is possible to occur the thermal runaway chain reaction, the corresponding protection structure design and the protection measures need to be designed in an enhanced manner, and the dosage and the spraying requirements of the fire extinguishing agent also need to be enhanced in the configuration of a fire-fighting system; when the energy released by the battery thermal runaway is judged to be insufficient to trigger the critical energy of the battery thermal runaway reaction, and the battery thermal runaway reaction is not easy to occur or has low possibility, the requirements can be met by adopting a conventional protection design and a conventional fire-fighting fire-extinguishing configuration.
Therefore, the method for quantitatively judging the critical condition of the thermal runaway chain reaction of the lithium ion energy storage battery has important significance for improving the safety of the energy storage power station and optimizing and designing the safety protection measures of the energy storage system. However, a corresponding determination method and means are still lacking. The conventional method is that for a lithium ion energy storage battery pack or a lithium ion energy storage module, one battery is thermally out of control directly in an external excitation source stimulation mode, and then whether chain reaction occurs or not is observed. Most importantly, the method judges whether the chain reaction occurs or not only from the phenomenon, and the critical conditions of the chain reaction cannot be determined, so that a quantitative basis cannot be provided for the thermal management, protection design and fire extinguishing system design of the battery, for example, if the thermal runaway chain reaction of the battery is observed through the test of the battery pack, if the thermal runaway is inhibited by a method of reducing the temperature through forced heat dissipation, the thermal runaway can be inhibited by adopting large heat dissipation power or achieving large cooling effect of the battery, and the data with reference values cannot be provided through the prior art.
In the prior art, a test method is used, for example, overcharging or heating test is performed on one battery in a battery pack, and whether thermal runaway chain reaction occurs or not is actually judged through pressure test.
Although this method is simple and effective, it is impossible to extract the critical condition of the thermal runaway chain reaction of the battery, i.e. the judgment basis, i.e. this method only needs to perform the experiment of the thermal runaway chain reaction again only for a specific battery pack after the same battery is used and replaced by another battery module and another grouping method. Moreover, the method can only see whether the chain reaction occurs, and can not provide a basis for the design of the battery, the design of the battery pack, the safety protection structure design of the system and the heat dissipation design.

In order to realize the test method, the invention also provides a test device which comprises a test box, a temperature measuring device, a thermal resistance layer and an upper computer. The test box is internally provided with 3 batteries, and the top, two sides and the front-back distance between the batteries and the inner side of the box body of the test box are consistent with the distance between the batteries in the battery module and the box body of the battery module; the temperature measuring device comprises a first temperature sensor arranged between batteries, a second temperature sensor arranged on the side surface of the battery, which is in contact with air, and a third temperature sensor arranged above a safety valve of the battery, wherein the thicknesses of the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor are 1-10mm, and the third temperature sensor is used for recording the open flame temperature of a combustion gas-liquid mixture sprayed out in the thermal runaway process; the thermal resistance layer is arranged on the outer side surfaces of the two batteries on the outermost side; the upper computer is connected with the temperature measuring device, and the energy storage battery pack thermal runaway chain reaction judgment system is arranged in the upper computer.
The principle of the invention is as follows:
the cells can undergo a thermal runaway reaction under overcharge and overheating conditions, releasing a large amount of heat that heats adjacent cells, potentially triggering adjacent cells to also thermally runaway.
Whether a thermal runaway reaction chain reaction occurs or not is determined, and the key is to judge the magnitude relation between the power and the energy required for triggering the thermal runaway of the battery and the power and the energy of the heat released after the thermal runaway of the battery. If the thermal power and energy released by the battery after thermal runaway is greater than the power and energy required for triggering the thermal runaway of the battery, namely the energy released by the battery is greater than the energy absorbed by the battery, the thermal runaway can occur, otherwise, the thermal runaway cannot occur. The energy passively absorbed by the battery includes electric energy and heat energy, while the energy released after the thermal runaway of the battery is converted from the electric energy and the heat energy absorbed before the thermal runaway of the battery into the energy (chemical energy and reaction heat) generated by the thermal runaway side reaction in the battery, and there is no clear magnitude relationship between the two.
According to the thermal balance principle of heating and heat release of the battery, when the received energy exceeds the thermal runaway critical condition, the battery thermally runaway and releases energy, and when the energy released by the thermal runaway of the battery is greater than the received energy required for triggering the thermal runaway, a thermal runaway chain reaction occurs. According to the thought, a battery thermal runaway test is designed, so that the triggered power and energy, and the released power and energy can be quantitatively reflected;
in the testing process, two factors of direct heating of the adjacent batteries on the contact surface and indirect heating of the smoke on the side surfaces of the adjacent batteries are considered, so that the design is closer to the actual situation.
When the power and the energy of indirect flue gas heating of the adjacent side batteries are finally calculated, the difference between the actual battery module and the test battery is considered, the number of the batteries in the actual battery module is large, and the flue gas heating effect is dispersed, so that an n/3 treatment mode is introduced.
The invention also has the following advantages:
the invention determines the critical condition of the thermal runaway of the battery through overcharge tests with various powers, and determines the energy released in the whole process of the thermal runaway of the battery through the temperature change of adjacent batteries and smoke in the overcharge tests. According to the invention, whether the battery has a chain reaction or not is judged by comparing the power and the energy received by the battery with the power and the energy released by thermal runaway of the battery.
According to the method, the heating power judgment method of the temperature of the side battery in contact with the air is introduced, the heating path of the battery in the battery pack to the surrounding batteries after thermal runaway is comprehensively considered, on one hand, heat is transferred in a side contact mode, on the other hand, heat is transferred in a mode that smoke is in contact with the side, and the treatment is closer to the real condition.
