Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of batteries, in particular to a hybrid power supply of a fuel cell and a storage battery and a thermal management method.
Background
With the progress of science and technology and the improvement of living standard of people, the demand of human activities on electric energy is increasing day by day, and the power supply is widely applied to various products. The existing power supply system comprises a primary battery, a storage battery, a fuel cell, a generator set and the like, wherein the storage battery and the fuel cell have increasingly large market demands under the traction of the requirements for energy conservation and environmental protection, and have urgent demands in the fields of portable power supplies, new energy vehicles, military power supplies, energy storage and the like. However, the existing storage batteries and fuel batteries have certain defects and shortcomings, such as low energy density, long charging time, poor low-temperature characteristics and the like of the storage batteries such as lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium ion batteries and the like; the fuel cell has the defects of low power density, poor dynamic characteristics and the like, and cannot well meet the requirements of users in the process of single use. In recent years, a hybrid power supply system combining a storage battery and a fuel cell is widely applied to the fields of electric vehicles, portable power supplies and the like, such as fuel cell + lithium ion battery hybrid power urban public transport, fuel cell + lithium ion battery comprehensive individual power supply systems and the like, and the advantages of the fuel cell and the lithium ion battery comprehensive individual power supply systems in the aspects of energy density and power density are combined to construct a power or power supply system with high power density, good dynamic characteristic and long endurance time. However, poor low temperature characteristics are a common defect of fuel cells and batteries, and reasonable thermal management design is critical to system performance and system simplification.
In the case of a fuel cell, when the temperature of the cell is low, the ohmic resistance inside the cell increases, various polarization phenomena increase, and the output performance of the cell decreases. When the temperature of the battery rises within a certain range, the transfer speed of protons in the exchange membrane can be accelerated, the electrochemical reaction speed in the battery can be accelerated, and the output characteristic of the battery can be promoted. However, when the temperature of the cell is too high, the water content of the proton exchange membrane is reduced, the electrical conductivity of the membrane is reduced, and the output performance of the cell is reduced. Meanwhile, cold start in a low-temperature environment is one of the main bottlenecks of the current fuel cell, and the popularization and the application of the fuel cell are restricted. Therefore, in order to realize normal and efficient operation of the fuel cell, the temperature is controlled within a certain range.
The low-temperature charge-discharge characteristics of the secondary battery are one of important properties thereof. In some specific occasions, such as batteries for field electric tools, communication signal transfer stations, military occasions, electric vehicles in high-latitude areas and the like, strict requirements on low-temperature charge and discharge characteristics of the batteries are provided. At present, under the condition of low temperature, the conductivity of electrolyte is reduced along with the reduction of temperature, the diffusion speed of substances in electrode reaction is obviously reduced, and the concentration polarization phenomenon of the electrode reaction of the battery is obviously enhanced. The average discharge voltage and the discharge charge quantity of the battery are obviously reduced in a low-temperature environment, and the battery can not work even in an extremely cold environment (below minus 30 ℃). In addition, during the operation of the storage battery, if the heat dissipation condition is not good, the temperature of the battery is increased, and when the temperature is too high, the danger of spontaneous combustion explosion exists. Therefore, thermal management of the battery is a critical element in the battery management system.
When the current fuel cell and lithium ion battery are used for hybrid power supply, the most important problem is that the joint management and the mutual coordination output are realized only on the energy flow (electric energy), and the key thermal management aspects are still independent. From the current thermal management situation of the current fuel cell + storage battery hybrid system, the current mainstream heat dissipation mode and the heating and heat preservation efficiency are still to be improved, the safe and stable operation of the current hybrid system under the complex environmental condition cannot be met, and the heat dissipation, cooling, heating and heat preservation are two independent systems or even have interference, so that the overall performance of the system is not favorably exerted, the current unsatisfactory battery performance is greatly discounted, and the long-term safe, stable and reliable operation of the battery system is not favorably realized.

Detailed Description

The storage battery is a rechargeable battery such as a lithium ion battery, a lead-acid battery, a nickel-hydrogen battery, a nickel-cadmium battery and the like.
When the fuel cell and the storage battery cannot work due to extremely low ambient temperature (below 40 ℃), the fuel is directly supplied to the fuel gas heater or the fuel oil heater to rapidly heat the cooling liquid, and the cooling liquid circulating system simultaneously heats the fuel cell and the storage battery, so that the normal use of the hybrid system is guaranteed. When the environmental temperature is lower (more than minus 30 ℃ and less than 0 ℃), the battery with good low-temperature self-starting performance is enabled to work first according to the low-temperature characteristics of the storage battery and the fuel battery, the cooling liquid is heated by utilizing the self heat generation and the electric heater, and the battery with poor low-temperature self-starting performance is started after the temperature of the cooling liquid is raised, so that the low-temperature cold starting characteristic of the whole system is improved. When the fuel cell and storage battery hybrid system normally works, the cooling liquid circulation system flows through the fuel cell and the storage battery simultaneously, and heat is dissipated to the environment through the radiator, so that the fuel cell and the storage battery are guaranteed to work within an ideal temperature range.
For metal-air fuel cells and alkaline fuel cells, the electrolyte circulating system can serve as a cooling liquid circulating system, so that the electrolyte of the metal-air fuel cells or the alkaline fuel cells circulates through the storage battery pack, the thermal management of the whole system can be realized, and the complexity of the whole system is greatly reduced. In addition, the fuel cell and the storage battery can be designed into a whole, and a small portable fuel cell and storage battery hybrid power supply can be manufactured. The fuel cell with good low-temperature characteristics, such as a metal air fuel cell, an alkaline fuel cell and the like, can be started in a low-temperature environment, the direct heating of the storage battery by the fuel cell is realized through heat transfer, and the service performance of the storage battery in the low-temperature environment is ensured.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the hybrid power supply system includes a pump 6, a coolant tank 5, a control valve 4, a battery assembly 3, a battery cell 2, a fuel cell stack 1, a heater 7, and a radiator 8.

The liquid outlet of the battery combination 3 is connected to the fuel cell stack 1, and the fuel cell stack 1 is formed by connecting a plurality of single fuel cells in series. A radiator 8 and a heater 7 are connected in sequence between the fuel cell stack 1 and the coolant tank 5.

The accumulator combination 3 is composed of a plurality of single accumulators 2 connected in series and/or in parallel, and the accumulator combination 3 is internally provided with a cooling liquid flow passage.
The heater 7 can be a fuel oil heater, a fuel gas heater or an electric heater, wherein the fuel oil heater and the fuel gas heater can directly use liquid or gas fuel carried by or attached to a fuel cell system to burn and heat, and the electric heater needs to be additionally provided with a storage battery with better low-temperature performance or be externally connected with a mains supply and other power supplies.
For the power supply system, when the power supply system is started in an extremely low temperature (such as below 40 ℃ below zero), the radiator 8 does not work temporarily, and the heater 7 works to heat the cooling liquid, so that the temperature of the storage battery assembly 3 and the temperature of the fuel cell stack 1 are increased. After the temperature is raised to a certain degree, the heater 7 stops working, and the temperature of the whole system can be further raised by the product of the storage battery combination 3 or the fuel cell stack 1 when working. When the temperature of the system is increased to an ideal temperature range or a certain preset value, the radiator 7 starts to work, and redundant heat in the system is dissipated from the system, so that the system works in the ideal temperature range.
Alternatively, the fuel cell stack 1 is formed by connecting a plurality of single fuel cells in series.
