POWER STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240204300 titled 'POWER STORAGE DEVICE
The power storage device described in the abstract includes a housing case with an installation area for multiple power storage stacks, a cooler for cooling the installation area, and an insulator member to prevent the cooling of the housing case by the cooler.
- The device allows for the installation of power storage stacks in a manner that creates extra space for additional stacks.
- Each power storage stack consists of multiple power storage cells with exhausts for releasing gas.
- The insulator member is placed in the extra region to prevent cooling by the cooler.
- The housing case features a pressure relief valve above the insulator member.
Potential Applications: - Energy storage systems for renewable energy sources - Backup power systems for critical infrastructure - Electric vehicle battery packs
Problems Solved: - Efficient cooling of power storage stacks - Space optimization for installing multiple stacks - Safety measures for gas exhaust from power storage cells
Benefits: - Enhanced performance and longevity of power storage systems - Improved safety and reliability in energy storage applications - Cost-effective solution for power storage needs
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Power Storage Device for Energy Solutions" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as renewable energy, telecommunications, and transportation for efficient power storage solutions. The market implications include increased demand for reliable energy storage systems and potential cost savings for businesses.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the insulator member contribute to the overall efficiency of the power storage device? The insulator member helps maintain the temperature within the housing case, preventing excessive cooling by the cooler and ensuring optimal performance of the power storage stacks.
2. What are the key advantages of using a pressure relief valve in the housing case? The pressure relief valve helps release excess pressure that may build up within the housing case, enhancing the safety of the power storage device and preventing potential hazards.
Original Abstract Submitted
a power storage device includes: a housing case having an installation area in which a plurality of power storage stacks can be installed; one or more power storage stacks that are disposed in the installation area in a manner that an extra region is formed in the installation area, in which extra region at least one power storage stack can be installed; a cooler for cooling the installation area; and an insulator member for inhibiting inside the housing case from being cooled by the cooler, the insulator member being disposed within the housing case, wherein the one or more power storage stacks each include a plurality of power storage cells, each power storage cell being provided with an exhaust for exhausting a gas from the power storage cell, the insulator member is installed in the extra region, and the housing case includes a pressure relief valve above the insulator member.
