In addition, it should be noted that, in the present embodiment, a temperature adjustment device is provided in the energy storage system for adjusting the temperature in the energy storage system. Optionally, the main controller or the cloud platform may be used as an execution main body of this embodiment to execute the control method of the temperature adjustment device, where the main controller is disposed outside the energy storage system, and the cloud platform implements remote control of the energy storage system in a network manner.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a control method of a temperature adjustment device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the method including the steps of:

step S102, obtaining the current electricity price corresponding to the current moment of the current time period and the preset electricity price corresponding to the next time period.

In step S102, a controller is disposed in the energy storage system, and the controller is configured to control a temperature adjustment device in the energy storage system, where the temperature adjustment device at least includes an air conditioning device.

Optionally, the electricity prices are different for different time periods, for example, 8: 30-11: 30 and 18: 00-23: 00 is two peak periods, and the corresponding electricity price is highest; 23: 00-7: 00 is an underestimation time period, and the corresponding electricity price is lowest; 7: 00-8: 30 and 11: 30-18: 00 is two flat periods of time, corresponding to electricity prices between the highest and lowest electricity prices.

In an alternative embodiment, the master controller or the cloud platform may determine the current electricity price corresponding to the current time period and the electricity price corresponding to the next time period by using a message related to the peak-to-valley electricity price issued by the local electricity consumption unit, for example, the current time is 7: 30, the corresponding time interval is a normal time interval, and the electricity price is A; the next time period is the peak time period 8: 30-11: 30, corresponding to a voltage of B, wherein B > a.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the time period may be divided based on the peak-to-valley electricity price, and may also be divided in a form customized by the user, for example, the user may regard each hour as one time period, and all the ways of dividing the time period may be applied to this embodiment, which is not limited herein.

Step S104, comparing the current electricity price with the preset electricity price to obtain a first comparison result.

In step S104, the first comparison result represents a comparison result of the current voltage and the preset electricity price, for example, the first comparison result may be that the current electricity price is greater than or equal to the preset electricity price, and the first comparison result may also be that the current electricity price is less than the preset electricity price.

In step S106, the second comparison result represents a comparison result of the time difference and the preset duration, for example, the second comparison result may be that the time difference is greater than the preset difference, and the second comparison result may also be that the time difference is smaller than or equal to the preset difference. In addition, the time difference represents a difference between the current time and the next time, for example, the current time is 7: 30, the next period is 8: 30-11: 30, the time difference is 7: 30 and 8: 30, which is 1 hour.

And S108, controlling the running state of the temperature adjusting equipment according to the first comparison result and the second comparison result so as to enable the energy consumption of the energy storage system to be the lowest.

It should be noted that, since the preset time duration is related to the operating state of the energy storage system, in this embodiment, the temperature adjustment device is controlled according to the comparison result between the electricity price and the time difference value and the preset time duration, so that an association relationship is established between the power consumption of the temperature adjustment device and the energy storage system, and therefore, by controlling the operating state of the temperature adjustment device, the energy consumption of the energy storage system can be minimized, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the energy consumption of the energy storage system. In addition, because the operating state of the temperature regulating device is also related to the electricity prices in different periods, the peak-valley profit of the energy storage system can be improved in consideration of the electricity prices in different periods in the process of controlling the temperature regulating device.

Based on the schemes defined in steps S102 to S108, it can be known that, in the embodiment of the present invention, a manner of controlling the temperature adjustment device according to the power rate pairs in different time periods is adopted, after the current power rate corresponding to the current time of the current time period and the preset power rate corresponding to the next time period are obtained, and the time difference between the current time and the starting time of the next time period is obtained, a first comparison result is obtained by comparing the current power rate and the preset power rate, and a second comparison result is obtained by comparing the time difference with the preset time duration, and finally, the operation state of the temperature adjustment device is controlled according to the first comparison result and the second comparison result, so as to minimize the energy consumption of the energy storage system, where the preset time duration is at least determined by the operation state of the energy storage system.

It is easy to notice that, in the above-mentioned process, the preset duration is related to the operating state of the energy storage system, and the preset duration is also related to the operating state of the temperature adjusting device, so it can be seen that, in this application, there is an incidence relation between the power consumption of the temperature adjusting device and the energy storage system, and therefore, by controlling the operating state of the temperature adjusting device, the energy consumption of the energy storage system can be minimized, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the energy consumption of the energy storage system. In addition, in the present application, the operation state of the temperature adjustment device is also related to the electricity prices at different time periods, and therefore, in the process of controlling the temperature adjustment device, the peak-valley profit of the energy storage system can be improved in consideration of the electricity prices at different time periods.

Therefore, the scheme provided by the application achieves the purpose of reducing the energy consumption of the energy storage system, the technical effect of improving the benefit of the energy storage system is achieved, and the technical problem that the energy consumption of the energy storage system cannot be effectively reduced in the prior art is solved.

In an optional embodiment, before comparing the time difference with the preset time length to obtain the second comparison result, the main controller or the cloud platform needs to determine the preset time length, and optionally, the main controller or the cloud platform may determine the preset time length in any one of the following manners:

the first method is as follows: and acquiring an input preset value, and determining the preset value as preset duration. Optionally, the user may input a preset duration to the main controller or the cloud platform according to the experience of the user.

The predicted temperature variation is a predicted variation of the internal temperature of the energy storage system within a preset time. That is, the preset time period can be calculated by the following formula:

the third method comprises the following steps: the preset time is determined according to the lowest allowable temperature of the battery cells in the energy storage system. Specifically, the current temperature corresponding to the battery cell in the energy storage system and the lowest allowable temperature of the battery cell are firstly acquired, the temperature rise speed or the temperature drop speed in the energy storage system when the temperature adjusting device does not refrigerate is acquired, then, the difference value between the current temperature and the lowest allowable temperature is calculated to obtain a third result, and finally, the ratio of the third result to the temperature rise speed or the temperature drop speed is calculated to obtain the preset duration. And the lowest allowable temperature is the lowest temperature corresponding to the normal operation of the battery cell. That is, the preset time period can be calculated by the following formula:

alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

it should be noted that the weather forecast information may be obtained indirectly through an EMS (Energy Management System)/BMS (Battery Management System), directly collected through a sensor (e.g., a temperature sensor), or determined by obtaining the local weather forecast information through a cloud. Wherein, in the mode of using the temperature sensor to collect, what the temperature sensor collected is the ambient temperature in the energy storage system.

In an alternative embodiment, the current temperature may be determined based on the level of safety protection of the energy storage system. Specifically, the main controller or the cloud platform determines a safety protection level corresponding to the energy storage system, wherein under the condition that the safety protection level is lower than a preset level, an average cell temperature of a cell in the energy storage system is obtained, and the average cell temperature is determined as a current temperature; and under the condition that the safety protection grade is higher than or equal to the preset grade, acquiring the lowest cell temperature or the highest cell temperature of the cells in the energy storage system, and determining the lowest cell temperature or the highest cell temperature as the current temperature.

Further, after the preset time duration is determined, the current electricity price and the preset electricity price are compared to obtain a first comparison result, the time difference value and the preset time duration are compared to obtain a second comparison result, and finally the operation state of the temperature adjusting device is controlled according to the first comparison result and the second comparison result. Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an alternative control method of the temperature adjustment device, and in fig. 2, the preset time period is determined by the third method.

Specifically, under the condition that the current electricity price is less than the preset electricity price, determining the change trend of the ambient temperature in the energy storage system when the temperature adjusting equipment does not refrigerate, and under the condition that the change trend of the ambient temperature is a cooling trend and the time difference is less than or equal to the preset time length, controlling the temperature adjusting equipment to enter a heating mode until the temperature of the battery cell in the energy storage system reaches the maximum allowable temperature; and controlling the temperature adjusting equipment to keep the current running state under the condition that the change trend of the environmental temperature is a cooling trend and the time difference value is greater than the preset time length. And the maximum allowable temperature is the maximum temperature corresponding to the normal operation of the battery cell.

And the lowest allowable temperature is the lowest temperature corresponding to the normal operation of the battery cell. For example, in fig. 2, if the ambient temperature variation trend is a temperature rising trend, and the time difference is less than or equal to the preset time period, the temperature adjustment device is controlled to perform cooling according to the temperature data of the battery cell so as to reach the lowest allowable temperature of the battery cell. If the time difference is greater than the preset time length, the main controller or the cloud platform control controller does not issue any control instruction, and at the moment, the temperature adjusting device keeps the current running state.

Optionally, when the current electricity price is greater than or equal to the preset electricity price, determining an ambient temperature variation trend in the energy storage system when the temperature adjustment device is not refrigerating. Controlling the temperature adjusting equipment to enter a standby state under the condition that the environment temperature variation trend is a temperature rising trend and the time difference value is less than or equal to the preset time length; and controlling the temperature adjusting equipment to keep the current running state under the condition that the environment temperature change trend is a temperature rising trend and the time difference value is greater than the preset time length. For example, in fig. 2, if the current electricity price is greater than or equal to the preset electricity price, the trend of the ambient temperature change in the energy storage system when the temperature adjustment device is not cooling is continuously determined, and if the trend of the ambient temperature change is a temperature rising trend, it is further detected whether the time difference is less than or equal to the preset time duration. And if the time difference is less than or equal to the preset time length, enabling the temperature adjusting equipment to be in a standby state. If the time difference is greater than the preset time length, the main controller or the cloud platform control controller does not issue any control instruction, and at the moment, the temperature adjusting device keeps the current running state.

Optionally, under the condition that the current electricity price is greater than or equal to the preset electricity price, if the ambient temperature variation trend is a cooling trend and the time difference is less than or equal to the preset time length, controlling the temperature adjusting device to enter a standby state; and if the change trend of the environmental temperature is a cooling trend and the time difference value is greater than the preset time length, controlling the temperature adjusting equipment to keep the current running state.

It should be noted that, after the temperature adjustment device is controlled to enter the standby state and the energy storage system enters the next period, it is detected whether the preset electricity price is less than the current electricity price, wherein, in the case that the preset electricity price is less than the current electricity price, the temperature adjustment device is controlled to enter the heating mode or the cooling mode. Namely, when the current electricity price is greater than or equal to the preset electricity price, the main controller or the cloud platform stops the action of the temperature adjusting device, so that the temperature in the energy storage system is increased or reduced to the maximum or minimum allowable temperature, and the refrigeration or heating is carried out after the electricity price is changed and reduced at equal time intervals.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, after the control of the operating state of the temperature adjustment device is completed, the main controller or the cloud platform issues a corresponding control instruction to the energy storage system, and the controller in the energy storage system controls the temperature adjustment device to execute an operation corresponding to the control instruction, and enter the next detection cycle.

It should be noted that, in the process of controlling the temperature adjustment device to enter the heating mode/the cooling mode so as to make the temperature of the battery cell in the energy storage system reach the minimum allowable temperature/the maximum allowable temperature, for the safe operation of the energy storage system, a certain margin is usually set for the minimum allowable temperature/the maximum allowable temperature, for example, the temperature of the battery cell in the energy storage system reaches t_min+δ₁To make the temperature of the battery cell in the energy storage system reach t_max-δ₂Wherein, t_minIs the lowest permissible temperature, delta₁A margin corresponding to the lowest allowable temperature, t_maxTo the maximum allowable temperature, delta₂The allowance corresponding to the maximum allowable temperature. In addition, the above-described minimum allowable temperature/maximum allowable temperature can be achieved by setting the temperature range allowed by the temperature adjusting device.

In addition, it should be noted that, in this embodiment, the operation state of the temperature adjustment device is adjusted based on the peak-to-valley electricity price difference, which can also be extended to the electricity purchasing cost, for example, when the photovoltaic power generation is excessive, part of the strategy can be changed, and the generated photovoltaic power is fully used to control the cooling or heating of the temperature adjustment device.

In addition, the efficiency of the current energy storage system can be about 86%, namely the loss is about 14% through the scheme provided by the embodiment, so that the cost of the energy storage system loss is reduced, the partial loss of the temperature regulation equipment can be reduced by about 5%, and the efficiency of the energy storage system is improved by 0.5%.

Based on the above, the scheme provided by the application controls the temperature adjusting equipment through the controller, and the adjusting strategy is formulated according to the peak-valley electricity price difference and the temperature rise of the energy storage system, so that the total electricity fee is reduced.
