Description

本発明は、異なる電池種を組合わせたハイブリッド型のリチウムイオン二次電池の組電池に関する。 The present invention relates to an assembled battery of hybrid lithium-ion secondary batteries in which different types of batteries are combined.

近年、再生可能エネルギーの普及に伴い、発電システムの開発に加え、再生可能エネルギーの余剰電力を蓄えるための蓄電システムの開発も進んできている。蓄電システムの設置される場所としては屋外などが想定され、自然環境の影響を受けることが想定されている。 In recent years, with the spread of renewable energy, in addition to the development of power generation systems, the development of power storage systems for storing surplus power generated by renewable energy has also progressed. Outdoors etc. are assumed as a place where an electrical storage system is installed, and it is assumed that it will be affected by the natural environment.

一般的に、蓄電システムに使用されているリチウムイオン二次電池は、負極に黒鉛系材料を使用しているため、低温環境下での充放電特性に劣る性質がある。その為、低温環境下では、充放電反応の速度が遅くなり性能を十分に発揮できない、或いは、使用するためにリチウムイオン二次電池自体の温度が低くならない様に断熱材やヒーターなどを設ける対策を講じる必要がある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 Lithium-ion secondary batteries used in power storage systems generally have poor charging/discharging characteristics in low-temperature environments because they use a graphite-based material for the negative electrode. Therefore, in a low-temperature environment, the rate of charge-discharge reaction slows down and performance cannot be fully demonstrated, or countermeasures are taken to install heat insulators and heaters so that the temperature of the lithium-ion secondary battery itself does not drop due to use. (see Patent Document 1, for example).

一方、負極にチタン酸リチウム(LTO)を使用しているLTO電池は、リチウムイオン二次電池に比べて低温環境下での充放電特性が劣らないという性質がある。 On the other hand, an LTO battery using lithium titanate (LTO) as a negative electrode has the property that charge/discharge characteristics in a low temperature environment are not inferior to those of a lithium ion secondary battery.

ところで、近年の再生可能エネルギーの普及に伴って、高容量型電池、例えばリチウムイオン二次電池と、高出力型電池、例えばLTO電池とが、電気的に並列接続されたハイブリッド型の組電池が提案されている。 By the way, with the recent spread of renewable energy, a hybrid assembled battery in which a high-capacity battery such as a lithium-ion secondary battery and a high-power battery such as an LTO battery are electrically connected in parallel has become popular. Proposed.

この構成によれば、低温環境下で高容量電池であるリチウムイオン二次電池により十分に大きなエネルギー容量を確保するために、低温環境下での充放電特性に優れるLTO電池によりヒーターを駆動させて、そのヒーターの熱でリチウムイオン二次電池を温める構成の組電池が従来から知られている。(特許文献2参照)。 According to this configuration, the heater is driven by the LTO battery, which has excellent charge/discharge characteristics in a low-temperature environment, in order to ensure a sufficiently large energy capacity by using a lithium-ion secondary battery, which is a high-capacity battery, in a low-temperature environment. , an assembled battery having a configuration in which the heat of the heater warms the lithium ion secondary battery has been conventionally known. (See Patent Document 2).

特許第5392407号Patent No. 5392407 特許第6567553号Patent No. 6567553

しかしながら、上記の従来技術においては、ヒーター等の加熱部材が存在することで、ヒーター等の加熱部材と、ヒーター等の加熱部材を固定するための部材やヒーター等の加熱部材のON-OFFや温度制御を行うための別途の専用制御が必要であり、ヒーター等の加熱部材を駆動させるための負荷電力も必要になってしまう。また、上記従来技術では、電池群をメンテナンス等で取り換える際はヒーター等の加熱部材が取り付けられた電池群ごと取り外しを行わないといけない等の課題が発生した。 However, in the above-described prior art, due to the presence of a heating member such as a heater, a heating member such as a heater, a member for fixing the heating member such as a heater, and a heating member such as a heater can be turned on and off and the temperature can be changed. Separate dedicated control is required for control, and load power is also required for driving a heating member such as a heater. In addition, in the above conventional technology, when replacing the battery group for maintenance or the like, there is a problem that the entire battery group to which a heating member such as a heater is attached must be removed.

そこで、本発明は、低温環境下でリチウムイオン二次電池の充放電を行う際、ヒーター等の加熱部材を別途取り付けることなく、LTO電池を大電流値で充放電させた時に発生する熱をリチウムイオン二次電池側に伝熱させ、リチウムイオン二次電池を温めることができる構成の組電池の構成することで、上記課題を解決できることを見出した。すなわち、本発明は[1]負極材料にチタン酸リチウムを使用した第一の二次電池と、負極材料に黒鉛を使用した第二の二次電池とを備え、ヒーター等の加熱部材を備えることなく、第一の二次電池の熱を第二の二次電池に伝熱するように第一の二次電池が第二の二次電池を挟み込むように構成された組電池である。 In view of this, the present invention provides a solution for charging/discharging a lithium-ion secondary battery in a low-temperature environment, in which the heat generated when the LTO battery is charged/discharged at a high current value is removed without separately attaching a heating member such as a heater. The present inventors have found that the above problem can be solved by constructing an assembled battery having a structure in which heat can be transferred to the ion secondary battery and the lithium ion secondary battery can be warmed. That is, the present invention provides [1] a first secondary battery using lithium titanate as a negative electrode material and a second secondary battery using graphite as a negative electrode material, and a heating member such as a heater. Instead, it is an assembled battery configured such that the first secondary battery sandwiches the second secondary battery so that the heat of the first secondary battery is transferred to the second secondary battery.

上記構成とすることで、ヒーター等の加熱部材が不要となり、それら部材の短絡故障や過温度から、組電池を保護するためのサーモスタット等の制御素子(保護素子)を配設する必要がないため、組電池を複数個組合わせたシステムの構成が簡易であり、組電池の交換などのメンテナンスでも有用であるとともに、ヒーター等の加熱部材を加熱するための電力を電池群より供給する必要もなく、電池群に充電した電力を効率的に使用することが出来る。 The above configuration eliminates the need for heating members such as heaters, and eliminates the need to install control elements (protective elements) such as thermostats to protect the assembled battery from short-circuit failures and overheating of these members. , the structure of a system that combines a plurality of assembled batteries is simple, and it is useful for maintenance such as replacement of assembled batteries, and there is no need to supply electric power for heating heating members such as heaters from the battery group. , the power charged in the battery group can be used efficiently.

また、[2]第一の二次電池と第二の二次電池は、樹脂製及び/又は金属製、或いは、樹脂と金属を組合わせたケースで固定された組電池とすることが好ましい。さらに、[3]温度測定素子が第一の二次電池表面及び/又は第二の二次電池表面に備えられているようにしてもよい。 [2] The first secondary battery and the second secondary battery are preferably assembled batteries fixed in a case made of resin and/or metal, or a combination of resin and metal. Furthermore, [3] the temperature measuring element may be provided on the surface of the first secondary battery and/or the surface of the second secondary battery.

本発明においては、[4]前記組電池は最小単位の二次電池の組み合わせで構成され、第一の二次電池同士を接続する場合は直列接続されているようにしてもよいし、[5]第一の二次電池と第二の二次電池の接触面にはペースト状で難燃性の特性も有した伝熱材料が備えれれているようにしてもよいし、[6]第一の二次電池、第二の二次電池における充電と放電は、各々独立して充電又は放電されるシステム構成であってもよい。 In the present invention, [4] the assembled battery is composed of a combination of secondary batteries of the smallest unit, and when the first secondary batteries are connected to each other, they may be connected in series, [5] ] The contact surface of the first secondary battery and the second secondary battery may be provided with a pasty heat transfer material that also has flame retardant properties, and [6] the first The charging and discharging of the second secondary battery and the second secondary battery may be independently charged or discharged.

本発明の構成により、第一の二次電池の熱を、第二の二次電池にヒーター等の別途の加熱部材を設けることなく伝熱することができ、低温環境下でも第二の二次電池が温められることにより充放電を行うことが可能である。また、ヒーター等の加熱部材を有さないため、省スペースが達成できるとともに、組電池を複数個使用するシステムにおいて、複数個の内、いずれかの組電池の交換する必要性が生じたときにおいても、ヒーター等の加熱部材の取り外しを行うことなく、組電池のみの交換ができ、保守メンテナンスでも有用である。 With the configuration of the present invention, the heat of the first secondary battery can be transferred to the second secondary battery without providing a separate heating member such as a heater, and the second secondary battery can be heated even in a low temperature environment. Charging and discharging can be performed by warming the battery. In addition, since it does not have a heating member such as a heater, space can be saved. Also, the assembled battery can be replaced without removing a heating member such as a heater, which is useful in maintenance.

Also, the assembled battery can be replaced without removing a heating member such as a heater, which is useful in maintenance.

また、ヒーター等の加熱部材を加熱するための電力を電池群より供給する必要がないため、電池群に充電された電力を全て負荷に供給することを可能とする。 Moreover, since it is not necessary to supply electric power for heating a heating member such as a heater from the battery group, it is possible to supply all the electric power charged in the battery group to the load.

さらに、例えば、第一の二次電池もしくは第二の二次電池/又は組電池を、ヒーター等の加熱部材の電源として使用する場合、第一の二次電池もしくは第二の二次電池/又は組電池の電圧V1[V]において、発生する熱量(ヒーター電力)W1[W]となるよう設計されたヒーター部材に、異なる電圧V2[V]を印加した場合、発生する熱量(ヒーター部材電力)W2[W]は、下記の数式(1)に従って発熱量は電圧変化の二乗で影響が及ぶため、安定的に加熱することがむずかしく、温度制御専用の別回路を構成する必要があった。
W2=W1×(V2/V1) [W] ・・・(1)
一方、本発明に係るハイブリッド型組電池によれば、第二の二次電池の温度安定化のために、温度制御専用の別回路を構成する必要もない。
