Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of energy storage power station cooling equipment, in particular to an integrated cooling system of an energy storage battery and a control method.
Background
In order to realize the great strategic measures of carbon peak and carbon neutralization, the energy conservation and emission reduction are promoted, the comprehensive utilization of resources is enhanced, the total energy consumption is reasonably controlled, the energy utilization efficiency is greatly improved, and the safe and stable operation of the energy storage system is extremely important.
Loss caused by thermal runaway of the energy storage battery is immeasurable, and in the prior art, the cooling of the energy storage battery adopts an air cooling mode. The air is directly introduced as a heat transfer medium, so that the air flows through the module to achieve the aim of heat dissipation, and generally, components such as a fan, an inlet and outlet air duct and the like are needed, an independent system is needed to be established to provide a heating or cooling function, and the air is independently controlled according to the battery state, so that the energy consumption and the cost of the whole vehicle are increased.
The working mechanism of the air-cooled internal circulation system is as follows: a fan arranged in the cabinet body provides a wind pressure head and wind quantity for internal circulation; axial flow fans are generally adopted, and the fans are characterized by larger air quantity but smaller pressure head. Considering the spatial arrangement of other devices in the cabinet, the air flow of the internal circulation is difficult to be organized properly, and the problems of poor internal circulation effect and uneven heat dissipation exist; and after the internal circulation is organized, if the internal structure of the cabinet is changed, the original internal circulation is seriously influenced, namely the internal circulation is greatly influenced by the internal structure of the cabinet. The disadvantage of this internal circulation results in very low wind speeds at some, even most, heat sources, only 1m/s to 2m/s, and low wind speeds prevent the direction of air flow at the heat source from maximizing the heat dissipation. In addition, in the existing air cooling system, the cooling air which completes heat exchange through the heat exchanger is dispersed into the environment, the environment is heated, so that the cooling air of the air cooling system can be mixed with the hot air in the flowing process, the cooling air which originally needs to be heated at a low temperature is heated, the cooling efficiency of the energy storage battery is reduced, and meanwhile, the requirement of constant-temperature operation of the battery cluster is difficult to meet due to the instability of the temperature of the cooling medium.
Prior art 1 (CN 107444103B) "an integrated thermal management system for electric vehicles", including a battery integrated thermal management system, a motor integrated thermal management system, and a refrigeration and heating cycle system of a heat pump air conditioner; the battery integrated thermal management system comprises a first water pump, a first phase change heat exchanger, a first expansion kettle and a battery water cooling coil; the motor integrated heat management system comprises a second water pump, a second phase change heat exchanger, a second expansion kettle, a radiator and a first motor water cooling coil; the refrigerating and heating circulation system of the heat pump air conditioner comprises a condenser, the heat pump air conditioner, an evaporator and a dryer. The battery integrated heat management system and the motor integrated heat management system are connected with the heat pump air conditioner refrigerating cycle and the heating cycle system through the phase-change heat exchanger, when the heating cycle is performed, the phase-change heat exchanger transfers energy storage to the evaporator for preheating, and when the refrigerating cycle is performed, the evaporator transfers heat to the phase-change heat exchanger for energy storage. In the prior art 1, as the phase-change heat exchanger is adopted, the characteristics of high phase-change latent heat and heat conductivity of the phase-change material are fully exerted, so that the number of evaporators is reduced, the volume in the vehicle is enlarged, and the structural layout in the vehicle is reasonable. However, in the prior art 1, not only the two heat exchangers are filled with the phase-change material, but also the corresponding branch pipes are filled with the phase-change material, so that durability and economical efficiency are required to be improved in the use process, firstly, the thermal physical properties of the phase-change material are degraded in the cyclic phase-change process, secondly, the phase-change material leaks out of the matrix material to form frosting on the surface of the material, and furthermore, the matrix material is easily damaged due to stress generated in the phase-change process. In addition, the large amount of phase change materials are used, so that the engineering cost of the cooling system is obviously improved, and the initial investment and the maintenance cost are high when the phase change materials are used in the high-power energy storage battery cooling system from the aspect of the engineering life cycle.
In addition, if the liquid is used as a medium to conduct heat transfer and cooling to the energy storage battery, a heat transfer channel, such as a water jacket, needs to be established between the module and the liquid medium to indirectly heat and cool in a convection and heat conduction mode, and the heat transfer medium can be water, glycol or even refrigerant, so that the structure is too huge and complex due to the requirement of a fan, a water pump, a heat exchanger, a heater, a pipeline and other accessories, and meanwhile, the energy of the battery is consumed, and the power density and the energy density of the battery are reduced. Although the liquid cooling system has mature technology and accurate temperature control, and can meet the technical requirements of accurate temperature control, constant temperature operation and the like of the energy storage battery, the liquid cooling system cannot be designed with the energy storage battery in an integrated mode due to a complex heat exchange structure and a complex medium channel.
Therefore, a cooling system capable of being integrated with an energy storage battery needs to be studied, and the accurate temperature control and constant temperature operation of the energy storage battery are met.
