Abstract
Method for controlling the temperature of an electrochemical energy storage system (100), wherein the energy storage system (100) comprises at least two electrochemical energy stores (101, 102) and an air-conditioning apparatus (114) having an air-conditioning circuit (115) for air-conditioning the energy store (101, 102).
Claims8
A method for controlling the temperature of an electrochemical energy storage system (100), wherein the energy storage system (100) has a first electrochemical energy store (101) and a second electrochemical energy store (102), a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor, a controller, and an air-conditioning apparatus (114) having an air-conditioning circuit (115) for air-conditioning the first and second energy stores (101, 102), the method comprising:
- (S101) capturing, via the first temperature sensor, a first temperature (T1)-of the first electrochemical energy store (101);
- (S102) capturing, via the second temperature sensor, a second temperature (T2) of the second electrochemical energy store (102);
- determining a temperature control requirement according to the first temperature (T1) and the second temperature (T2);
- and
- (S103) heating the second electrochemical energy store (102) using an excess amount of heat of the first electrochemical energy store (101) by operating the air-conditioning apparatus (114) according to the temperature control requirement.
