Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
Because of the strong timeliness and space properties of energy required by people, in order to reasonably utilize the energy and improve the utilization rate of the energy, one energy form needs to be stored by one medium or equipment and then converted into another energy form, and the energy is released in a specific energy form based on future application. At present, the main way of generating green electric energy is to develop green energy sources such as photovoltaic, wind power and the like to replace fossil energy sources,
at present, the generation of green electric energy generally depends on photovoltaic, wind power, water potential and the like, but wind energy, solar energy and the like generally have the problems of strong intermittence and large fluctuation, which can cause unstable power grid, insufficient peak electricity consumption, too much electricity consumption and unstable voltage can cause damage to the electric power, so that the problem of 'wind abandoning and light abandoning' possibly occurs due to insufficient electricity consumption requirement or insufficient power grid acceptance, and the problem needs to be solved by relying on energy storage. The energy is converted into other forms of energy through physical or chemical means and is stored, the energy is converted into electric energy when needed and released, in short, the energy storage is similar to a large-scale 'charge pal', the electric energy is stored when the photovoltaic and wind energy are sufficient, and the stored electric power is released when needed.
Taking electrochemical energy storage as an example, the present scheme provides an energy storage device 1, wherein a group of chemical batteries are arranged in the energy storage device 1, chemical elements in the batteries are mainly used as energy storage media, and the charge and discharge process is accompanied with chemical reaction or change of the energy storage media, namely, the electric energy generated by wind energy and solar energy is simply stored in the chemical batteries, and the stored electric quantity is released for use when the use of external electric energy reaches a peak, or is transferred to a place with short electric quantity for reuse.
The present energy storage (i.e. energy storage) application scenario is comparatively extensive, including aspects such as power generation side energy storage, electric wire netting side energy storage and power consumption side energy storage, the kind of corresponding energy storage device 1 includes:
(1) The large energy storage power station applied to the wind power and photovoltaic power station side can assist renewable energy sources to generate electricity to meet grid-connected requirements, and meanwhile, the utilization rate of the renewable energy sources is improved; the energy storage power station is used as a high-quality active/reactive power regulating power supply in a power supply side, so that the load matching of electric energy in time and space is realized, the capacity of absorbing renewable energy sources is enhanced, the instantaneous power change is reduced, the impact on a power grid is reduced, the problem of generating and absorbing new energy sources is solved, and the energy storage power station has great significance in the aspects of standby of a power grid system, relieving peak load power supply pressure and peak regulation and frequency modulation;
(2) The energy storage container applied to the power grid side has the functions of mainly peak regulation, frequency modulation and power grid blocking and peak regulation relieving, and can realize peak clipping and valley filling of the power consumption load, namely the energy storage battery is charged when the power consumption load is low, and the stored electric quantity is released in the peak period of the power consumption load, so that the balance between power production and power consumption is realized;
(3) The small energy storage cabinet applied to the electricity utilization side has the main functions of spontaneous electricity utilization, peak Gu Jiacha arbitrage, capacity cost management and power supply reliability improvement. According to the different application scenes, the electricity-side energy storage can be divided into an industrial and commercial energy storage cabinet, a household energy storage device, an energy storage charging pile and the like, and is generally matched with the distributed photovoltaic. The energy storage can be used by industrial and commercial users for valley peak price difference arbitrage and capacity cost management. In the electric power market implementing peak-valley electricity price, the energy storage system is charged when the electricity price is low, and the energy storage system is discharged when the electricity price is high, so that peak-valley electricity price difference arbitrage is realized, and the electricity cost is reduced. In addition, the energy storage system is suitable for two industrial enterprises with electricity price, can store energy when electricity is used in low valley and discharge the energy when the electricity is used in peak load, so that peak power and the declared maximum demand are reduced, and the purpose of reducing the capacity electricity fee is achieved. The household photovoltaic distribution and storage can improve the spontaneous self-use level of the electric power. Due to high electricity prices and poor power supply stability, the photovoltaic installation requirements of users are pulled. Considering that the photovoltaic power generation is performed in daytime, and the load of a user is generally higher at night, the photovoltaic power can be better utilized through configuration of energy storage, the spontaneous self-use level is improved, and meanwhile the power consumption cost is reduced. In addition, the fields of communication base stations, data centers and the like need to be configured with energy storage for standby power.

The number of the energy storage devices 1 may be plural, and the plurality of energy storage devices 1 may be connected in series or in parallel, and the plurality of energy storage devices 1 may be supported and electrically connected by using a separator (not shown). In the present embodiment, "a plurality of" means two or more. The energy storage device 1 may be further provided with an energy storage box for accommodating the energy storage device 1.

The practical application form of the energy storage device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application may be, but is not limited to, the listed products, and may also be other application forms, and the embodiment of the present application does not strictly limit the application form of the energy storage device 1. The embodiment of the present application will be described by taking the energy storage device 1 as a multi-core battery as an example. When the energy storage device 1 is a single battery, the energy storage device 1 may be at least one of a cylindrical battery, a prismatic battery, and the like.

The energy storage device 1 includes a housing 110, a bare cell (not shown), and an end cap assembly 120. The housing 110 has an opening 110a and a housing chamber 110b, and the opening 110a communicates with the housing chamber 110b. The housing cavity 110b may be used to house a bare cell and an electrolyte. The bare cell is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 110b and immersed in the electrolyte. The end cap assembly 120 is mounted to one side of the housing 110 in the height direction (Z-axis direction in the drawing) of the energy storage device 1, and closes the opening. The energy storage device 1 is illustratively a square battery. In other embodiments, the energy storage device 1 may also be a cylindrical battery or other battery.

The case 110 includes a main case 111 and an insulating member 112, and the insulating member 112 is located inside the main case 111 and protrudes toward the inside of the main case 111 with respect to the inner surface of the main case 111. In this embodiment, the insulator 112 is integrally formed with the main housing 111.
