Specification

DESC:FORM 2 THE PATENTS ACT, 1970 (39 of 1970) & THE PATENT RULES, 2003 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION (See Section 10 and Rule 13) TITLE OF INVENTION: A CONDITIONING ASSEMBLY FOR AN ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM AND A METHOD THEREOF APPLICANT: EXPONENT ENERGY PVT. LTD. An Indian entity having address as: No.76/2, Site No.16, Khatha, No 69, Singasandra Village, Begur Hobli, Bengaluru Urban, Karnataka (IN) - 560068 The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed. CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS AND PRIORITY The present application claims priority from the Indian provisional patent application, having application number 202341017646, filed on 16th March 2023, incorporated herein by a reference. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to a conditioning of an energy storage system (ESS), and more particularly to a system and a method for conditioning of the ESS with an improved conditioning with multiple conditioning plates while ensuring minimum conditioning gradient across plurality of cells within the ESS resulting in optimized ESS performance and longevity. BACKGROUND The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology. At present, cell to pack and module to pack are the two primary forms of assembly architecture used in electric car batteries. In a cell-to-pack arrangement, a battery pack is created by directly mounting the cells on the battery shell and connecting them mechanically and electrically. In the module to pack arrangement, cells are gathered and manufactured into modules, which are then put together to form the battery pack. The major purpose of a package architecture is to keep cells electrically isolated and to provide structural means of protecting the cells from vehicle vibrations caused due to uneven road surface and to maintain the cells at the proper operating temperature by taking care of thermals. To retain the cells and hold it structurally, existing module architecture uses sheet metal that has been welded with foam pads between the cells. An existing cooling approach for conventional battery designs like VD modules is bottom cooling approach, which is a separate cooling system from the module packing. Businesses need to employ a huge bottom cooling heat sink to cool the bottom cooling battery arrangement. Each technique makes use of its own heating, isolating, and mounting mechanisms. Another conventional cooling approach provides sidewise cooling of battery cells/modules of the battery pack. The cooling channels are provided in the sides of the cells/modules, having an inlet and an outlet in each cooling channel for entry and exit of the coolant fluid. This conventional cooling system faces a problem of differential gravitational pressure gradient which affects the uniform cooling of the cells/modules by the side cooling channels. The top and bottom portion of the cells/modules have different cooling efficiency (i.e., temperature gradient) due to gravitational pressure gradient. Further, some conventional battery assemblies may also comprise a bottom cooling plate and a top cooling plate disposed at the bottom and top of the battery cell structure respectively. The cooling plates may generally be attached by a fastening means. Both the cooling plates may also comprise a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet for a coolant to continuously flow through the coolant channels provided with the cooling plates. However, as there are separate coolant inlet/outlet for both the cooling plates, there may be a variation in the cooling efficiency due to variable coolant inflow/outflow. Also, such cooling plate arrangement too complicates the battery architecture due to an increased space requirement and complex coolant inlet/outlet arrangements. As a result of the aforementioned battery assembly, the other battery components are left in the heated condition due to which the battery performance as well as the battery life decreases. Further, in the conventional systems, there is no specific mechanism in place to ensure a balanced conditioning gradient across the cells. As a result, temperature variations can occur among the cells, leading to potential imbalances in the battery pack. The cells that are located closer to the cooling inlet may receive more cooling and have lower temperatures, while cells farther from the inlet may experience higher temperatures due to reduced cooling. Moreover, the conventional system relies on the mechanical contact or clamping mechanisms to attach the cooling plates to the cells to maintain proper thermal contact. While this approach can provide some level of heat transfer, it may not ensure optimal thermal conductivity and can result in uneven cooling across the cells. The conventional cooling systems employed in battery packs introduce complexity to the overall architecture of the pack due to their cooling arrangements. This complexity can arise from various factors, such as the presence of top and bottom cooling plates with separate coolant sources and no connection between them as described above, or the implementation of a bottom cooling structure alone. The lack of the balanced conditioning gradient and the absence of proper thermal contact between the cooling plates and the cells in the conventional cooling system, complex architecture of the battery system and the unequal cooling distribution can impact cooling efficiency, increase costs, and pose challenges in system design and maintenance. These factors can affect the overall performance, reliability, and lifespan of the battery pack. Therefore, there exists a long felt need for a system and a method for an improved conditioning mechanism of a battery pack which improves the efficacy of the battery assembly as well as the conditioning process itself, thereby ensuring the battery assembly remains in an optimal condition and overcomes the above-mentioned problems. SUMMARY Before the present system and device and its components are described, it is to be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the system and its arrangement as described, as there can be multiple possible embodiments which are not expressly illustrated in the present disclosure. It is also to be understood that the terminology used in the description is for the purpose of describing the versions or embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. The present disclosure overcomes one or more shortcomings of the prior art and provides additional advantages discussed throughout the present disclosure. Additional features and advantages are realized through the techniques of the present disclosure. This summary is not intended to identify the essential features of the claimed subject matter nor is it intended for use in determining or limiting the scope of the claimed subject matter. In one implementation of the present disclosure, a conditioning assembly for an energy storage system (ESS) is disclosed. The conditioning assembly for the ESS may incorporate various components to ensure efficient operation and management of the ESS. The disclosed assembly may comprise a plurality of conditioning plates for conditioning a plurality of cells. In one embodiment, the plurality of conditioning plates comprises a first conditioning plate and a second conditioning plate. Each conditioning plate from the plurality of conditioning plates may comprise an inlet port for entering conditioning fluid inside the conditioning plate, and an outlet port for exiting conditioning fluid from the conditioning plate. Further, the disclosed conditioning assembly may comprise a conditioning connector for connecting the plurality of conditioning plates. In an exemplary embodiment, the first conditioning plate may be arranged on a first side of the plurality of cells and the second conditioning plate may be arranged on a second side of the plurality of cells. The second side of the plurality of cells is opposite to the first side of the plurality of cells. In a related embodiment, an outlet port of the first conditioning plate may be connected, via the conditioning connector, to an inlet port of the second conditioning plate and vice versa, creating a continuous flow path for the conditioning fluid. With the connected flow of conditioning fluid from one conditioning plate to the second conditioning plate, an improved architecture of the battery assembly is accomplished, resulting in simplified conditioning arrangement. This solves the problem that lies in the conventional battery conditioning architecture where inlet and outlets of the multiple conditioning plates are connected separately, leading to minimizing the variations in the conditioning efficiency. Additionally in an embodiment, the first conditioning plate may be arranged on the first side of the plurality of cells, for conditioning the plurality of cells in a first cell sequence. Similarly, the second conditioning plate may be arranged on the second side of the plurality of cells, for conditioning the plurality of cells in a second cell sequence. The direction of the first cell sequence is linearly opposite to the second cell sequence. This results in maintaining a balanced conditioning gradient across the plurality of cells, leading to an efficient and uniform conditioning across the plurality of cells. In a related embodiment, the plurality of conditioning plates may be arranged, with the plurality of cells, in a manner to maintain a minimum conditioning difference between the first side and the second side of the plurality of cells. In one embodiment, an average conditioning difference between the first side of a cell (attached to the first conditioning plate) and another side of the same cell (attached to the second conditioning plate) is minimum. In another embodiment, the differential conditioning gradient between the lowest conditioned range cell and the highest conditioned range cell from the plurality of cells may be balanced out to a minimum conditioning difference. Additionally in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the plurality of conditioning plates may be arranged towards both sides of the plurality of cells. In an exemplary embodiment, the conditioning value of each cell towards the first side of the plurality of cells is greater than the conditioning value of the cell towards the second side of the plurality of cells. In another exemplary embodiment, the conditioning value of each cell towards the first side of the plurality of cells is less than the conditioning value of the cell towards the second side of the plurality of cells. In an embodiment, a conditioning plate from the plurality of conditioning plates may be arranged in such a way that a conditioning value of conditioning fluid increases while flowing in a direction from a first cell to a last cell of the plurality of cells. In another embodiment, a conditioning plate from the plurality of conditioning plates may be arranged in such a way that a conditioning value of conditioning fluid increases while flowing in a direction from the last cell to the first cell of the plurality of cells. In an exemplary embodiment, the first conditioning plate may be attached to the top side of the plurality of cells and the second conditioning plate may be attached to the bottom side of the plurality of cells. The plurality of conditioning plates may be attached to the plurality of cells using an adhesive. The adhesive corresponds to a thermally conductive, electrically insulated and structural member adhesive. The adhesive may correspond to Polyurethane acrylate adhesive. In one embodiment, the conditioning fluid in both the first and the second conditioning plate may have a serpentine fluid flow path. The conditioning fluid may be either hot fluid or cold fluid depending on the thermal requirement of the ESS. In another embodiment, the conditioning of the conditioning assembly for the ESS may comprise a temperature conditioning, pressure conditioning, electrical charging of the plurality of cells, or other conditioning parameters of the cell/the module of the ESS. In one implementation of the present disclosure, a method for assembling a plurality of conditioning plates for an energy storage system (ESS) is disclosed. The method for conditioning the ESS may involve a series of steps to ensure optimal functioning and performance of the ESS. The method may comprise a step of arranging a plurality of cells in a way such that one or more terminals of each cell of the plurality of cells are placed in the same orientation. It should be noted that each terminal from one or more terminals may comprise a terminal axis. Further, the method may comprise a step of arranging a first conditioning plate, from a plurality of conditioning plates, on a first side of the plurality of cells and further arranging a second conditioning plate, from the plurality of conditioning plates, on a second side of the plurality of cells. The second side of the plurality of cells is opposite to the first side of the plurality of cells. Further, the method may comprise a step of connecting an outlet port of the first conditioning plate to an inlet port of the second conditioning plate through a conditioning connector. In another example, the method may comprise a step of connecting an inlet port of the first conditioning plate to an outlet port of the second conditioning plate through the conditioning connector. Connecting the inlet port of one conditioning plate with the outlet port of another conditioning plate creates a continuous flow path for conditioning fluid across the conditioning plates. With the connected flow of conditioning fluid from one conditioning plate to the second conditioning plate, an improved architecture of the battery assembly is accomplished resulting in simplified conditioning arrangement. This solves the problem that lies in the conventional battery conditioning architecture where the inlet and outlets of the multiple conditioning plates are connected separately, leading to minimizing the variations in the conditioning efficiency. Overall, the conditioning assembly and its method for conditioning of the ESS may ensure the efficient and effective management of the ESS by assembling the one or more conditioning plates in a specified manner against the plurality of cells and further connecting both the conditioning plates for ensuing a connected flow of conditioning fluid across the conditioning plates. This may ensure the overall performance and longevity of the ESS, providing efficient energy storage and utilization capabilities.

In one implementation of the present disclosure, a conditioning assembly for conditioning an energy storage system (ESS) has been disclosed. The conditioning assembly comprises a plurality of cells and a plurality of conditioning plates, wherein the cells of the plurality of cells are arranged in a predetermined order to assemble a ESS module. A plurality of ESS modules further be arranged to form the ESS. Further, the plurality of conditioning plates is attached to the two opposite sides of the plurality of cells/ESS module. The plurality of conditioning plates may have distinct inlets and outlets for enabling the conditioning fluid insertion and exit, and the conditioning process may be carried out in a specific order by each conditioning plate out of plurality of conditioning plates. This systematic arrangement may allow effective conditioning of the ESS, contributing to its optimal functioning and performance. Now referring to Figure 1, a condition assembly (100) for conditioning an energy storage system (ESS), is illustrated in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The conditioning assembly (100) comprises several components arranged in a specific structure. The assembly (100) comprises a plurality of cells (103), a plurality of conditioning plates (101, 102), a side cover (104), a conditioning connector (105), and a battery module case (106). The conditioning assembly (100) may comprise a plurality of power path electrical circuitry and the battery management system (BMS). In an embodiment of the present disclosure, Further, the plurality of cells (103) may be arranged in a predetermined order to form the ESS module. These cells may serve as the fundamental building blocks of the ESS. In an embodiment, each cell from the plurality of cells (103) comprises one or more terminals, more specifically a positive terminal (cathode) and a negative terminal (anode). Each terminal from one or more terminals may comprise a terminal axis. The terminal axis refers to an axis passing through one or more terminals of the cell. In an exemplary embodiment, each cell from the plurality of cells (103) is arranged in a manner to place one or more terminals of the plurality of cells (103) in the same direction. In another exemplary embodiment, the plurality of cells (103) is arranged according to a coordinate system in a three-dimensional space. Further, the coordinate system in three-dimensional space may include an X-orientation, a Y-orientation, and a Z-orientation. Further, in the three-dimensional coordinate system, the X-orientation may represent a horizontal axis, the Z-orientation may represent a vertical axis, and the Y-orientation may represent an axis perpendicular to both the X-orientation and the Z-orientation. In the related embodiment, each cell from the plurality of cells (103) is placed in a way such that the terminal axis of each cell is parallel to one of, the X-orientation, the Y-orientation, and a combination thereof. Furthermore, the assembly (100) incorporates a plurality of conditioning plates (101, 102), specifically a first conditioning plate (101) and a second conditioning plate (102). In the conditioning assembly (100), the plurality of conditioning plates (101, 102) is arranged on one or more sides of the plurality of cells (103). More specifically, the first conditioning plate (101) may be arranged on the first side of the plurality of cells (103), while the second conditioning plate (102) may be arranged on the second side of the plurality of cells (103). The first side of the plurality of cells (103) is configured to be opposite to the second side of the plurality of cells (103). This arrangement may ensure that both sides of the cells are covered by conditioning plates for effective conditioning. In one embodiment, the first side of the plurality of cells (103) may correspond to a top side of the plurality of cells (103), and the second side of the plurality of cells (103) may correspond to a bottom side of the plurality of cells (103). In another embodiment, the plurality of conditioning plates (101, 102) may be arranged parallel to the one or more terminal axis of the plurality of cells (103). In yet another embodiment, the plurality of conditioning plates (101, 102) may be arranged in a direction perpendicular to the Z-orientation of the coordinate system. Further, each conditioning plate from the plurality of conditioning plates (101, 102) comprises an inlet port for entering of conditioning fluid inside the conditioning plate, and an outlet port for exiting the conditioning fluid from the conditioning plate. Exemplary the first conditioning plate (101) may be equipped with a first inlet and a first outlet. Furthermore, the second conditioning plate (102) may be equipped with a second inlet and a second outlet. The first inlet of the first conditioning plate (101) may allow for the introduction of the conditioning fluid into the first conditioning plate (101), while the second inlet of the second conditioning plate (102) may allow for the insertion of the conditioning fluid into the second conditioning plate (102). Correspondingly, the first outlet of the first conditioning plate (101) may enable the exit of the conditioning fluid from the first conditioning plate (101), and the second outlet of the second conditioning plate (102) may facilitate the exit of the conditioning fluid from the second conditioning plate (102). Further, the conditioning fluid in both the first conditioning plate (101) and the second conditioning plate (102) may flow in a serpentine fluid flow path (201). Importantly in the conditioning assembly (100), the first outlet of the first conditioning plate (101) may be configured to be connected with the second inlet of the second conditioning plate (102) through the conditioning connector (105). In contrast, the first inlet of the first conditioning plate (101) is configured to be connected to a conditioning station, via a charging connector, for receiving the conditioning fluid during charging of the energy storage system (ESS). Further, the second outlet of the second conditioning plate (102) is configured to be connected to the conditioning station, via the charging connector, for exiting the conditioning fluid from the second conditioning plate (102). In an exemplary embodiment, either before starting or during charging of the ESS, the first inlet of the first conditioning plate (101) receives the conditioning fluid from the conditioning station via the charging connector. The conditioning fluid entered from the first inlet of the first conditioning plate (101) circulated into the conditioning channels of the first conditioning plate (101). Post circulation into the conditioning channels of the first conditioning plate (101), the conditioning fluid exits from the first outlet of the first conditioning plate (101) and enters the second inlet of the second conditioning plate (102) via the conditioning connector (105). The conditioning fluid entered from the second inlet of the second conditioning plate (102) circulated into the conditioning channels of the second conditioning plate (102). Post circulation into the conditioning channels of the second conditioning plate (102), the conditioning fluid exits from the second outlet of the second conditioning plate (102) towards the conditioning station via the charging connector. Alternatively, the first inlet of the first conditioning plate (101) may be configured to be connected with the second outlet of the second conditioning plate (102) through the conditioning connector (105). With the connected flow of conditioning fluid from one conditioning plate to the second conditioning plate, an improved architecture of the battery assembly is accomplished, resulting in simplified conditioning arrangement. This solves the problem that lies in the conventional battery conditioning architecture where inlet and outlets of the multiple conditioning plates are connected separately, leading to minimizing the variations in the conditioning efficiency. Further, the conditioning connector (105) may correspond to one of a poly hose connector, vertical and angular connectors, flexible connectors, and a combination thereof. In another exemplary embodiment, the conditioning fluid may enter through the first inlet of the first conditioning plate (101), moving the conditioning fluid in the serpentine flow path (201), cool down the first side of the plurality of cells (103) and exit from the first outlet of the first conditioning plate (101). In the same exemplary embodiment, the conditioning fluid exited from the first outlet of the first conditioning plate (101) may enter the second inlet of the second conditioning plate (102), moving the conditioning fluid in the serpentine flow path (201), cool down the second side of the plurality of cells (103) and exit from the second outlet of the second conditioning plate (102). In yet another exemplary embodiment, the conditioning fluid may enter through the first inlet of the first conditioning plate (101), moving the conditioning fluid in the serpentine flow path (201), heat up the first side of the plurality of cells (103) and exit from the first outlet of the first conditioning plate (101). In the same another exemplary embodiment, the conditioning fluid exiting from the first outlet of the first conditioning plate (101) may enter the second inlet of the second conditioning plate (102), moving the conditioning fluid in the serpentine flow path (201), heat up the second side of the plurality of cells (103) and exit from the second outlet of the second conditioning plate (102). In an embodiment, the conditioning fluid may enter through the first inlet of the first conditioning plate (101) and exit from the second outlet of the second conditioning plate (102). In another embodiment, the conditioning fluid may enter through the second inlet of the second conditioning plate (102) and exit from the first outlet of the first conditioning plate (101). The step of entering the conditioning fluid into one conditioning plate and exit through another conditioning plate may be repeated until the differential conditioning gradient between a lowest conditioned cell and a highest conditioned cell from the plurality of cells (103) are balanced out to a minimum conditioning difference. Additionally, the conditioning assembly (100) comprises the side cover (104) to accommodate the ESS module from four sides, other than the top and bottom side, of the assembly (100). The main objective of the side cover (104) is to protect the conditioning assembly (100) from external interferences from the sides of the assembly (100). Further, the conditioning assembly (100) comprises the battery module case (106) to cover the conditioning assembly (100) from the top side. Similar to the side cover (104), the main objective of the battery module case (106) is to protect the conditioning assembly (100) including the plurality of power path electrical circuitry and the BMS, from external interferences. The conditioning assembly (100) may further encompass arrangement of the plurality of conditioning plates (101, 102), which may affect conditioning a sequence of cells from the plurality of cells (103). In one embodiment, the first conditioning plate (101) is arranged, on the first side of the plurality of cells (103), to condition the plurality of cells (103) in a first cell sequence. In the similar embodiment, the second conditioning plate (102) is arranged, on the second side of the plurality of cells (103), to condition the plurality of cells (103) in a second cell sequence. The direction of the first cell sequence is linearly opposite to the direction of the second cell sequence. This results in maintaining a balanced conditioning gradient across the plurality of cells, leading to an efficient and uniform conditioning across the plurality of cells. Following such an opposite sequence by the second conditioning plate (102) may ensure a minimum conditioning gradient between first and second side of the plurality of cells (103) in the ESS module as the conditioning fluid may absorb or transfer energy while traveling from the first conditioning plate (101) to the second conditioning plate (102) thus, varying the condition of the conditioning fluid. In one embodiment, the transfer energy may correspond to transfer heat either from the conditioning fluid to the cells or extract heat from the cells/BMS/power path electrical circuitry. In one non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure, the conditioning may comprise temperature conditioning, pressure conditioning, electrical charging, or other parameter conditioning of cell/module/ESS. The sequence of conditioning fluid flow path may be illustrated with a non-limiting example, wherein considering there are 32 cells in the ESS module. Thus, in the non-limiting example, the sequence of the cells conditioned by the first conditioning plate (101), in the first side, may be starting from cell number 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 to 6 to … to 30 to 31 to 32, then the second conditioning plate (102) may condition the cells, in the second side, in the following sequence starting from cell 32 to 31 to 30 to 29 to …. to 3 to 2 to 1. The aforementioned sequence may ensure that there is a minimum conditioning difference between the first side and the second side of each cell of the plurality of cells (103) in the ESS module. This sequence may further ensure that there is a minimum conditioning difference between the lowest condition range cell and the highest condition range cell in the battery module, which in turn increases the battery life of the battery module. In an embodiment, each conditioning plate from the plurality of conditioning plates (101, 102) may be arranged in such a way that a conditioning value of the conditioning fluid increases or decreases while flowing in a direction from a first cell to a last cell of the ESS module. In another embodiment, each conditioning plate from the plurality of conditioning plates (101, 102) may be arranged in such a way that a conditioning value of the conditioning fluid increases or decreases while flowing in a direction from the last cell to the first cell of the ESS module. Consequently, the conditioning value of each cell towards the first side of the plurality of cell (103) is greater than the conditioning value of the cell towards the second side of the plurality of cell (103). Similarly, the conditioning value of each cell towards the first side of the plurality of cells (103) is less than the conditioning value of the cell towards the second side of the plurality of cells (103). The increment of conditioning value across cells attached to the first conditioning plate (101) and the second conditioning plate (102) can be illustrated with a non-limiting example, wherein consider a conditioning value of the conditioning fluid in the first conditioning plate (101) attached to cell 1 = TT1, attached to cell 2=TT2….to cell 32=TT32. Similarly, consider the conditioning value of the conditioning fluid in the second conditioning plate (102) attached to cell 1=BT1, cell2=BT2…cell 32=BT32. In one exemplary embodiment, the increment of conditioning value of the conditioning plates across the cells may be TT1
