Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy storage station control, and in particular to a distributed energy storage station monitoring system. Background Art

[0002] With the accelerating global energy transition, the penetration rate of distributed energy resources (DER) such as solar energy and wind energy, which are renewable energy sources, in the power system is continuously increasing. The intermittency and uncertainty of these distributed energy sources pose huge challenges to the stable operation of the traditional power grid. As an effective solution, the distributed energy storage system (DES) has emerged. The distributed energy storage station can realize the flexible storage and release of energy, effectively suppress the fluctuations of distributed energy, improve the power quality, and enhance the reliability and flexibility of the power grid.

[0003] In the distributed energy storage system, the monitoring system plays a crucial role. It is like the "intelligent brain" of the energy storage station, which real-time controls the operating status of each component in the energy storage station, coordinates and controls the charging and discharging processes of the energy storage units, and ensures the safe, stable and efficient operation of the energy storage system. Some insurmountable defects have gradually emerged in the functions and performances of traditional energy storage monitoring systems. For example, the data acquisition accuracy is insufficient and cannot meet the requirements for accurately evaluating the battery status; the communication reliability is poor and is easily interfered, often resulting in data transmission interruption or errors; the optimization strategy is too simple and it is difficult to balance multiple objectives such as grid cost and battery life.

Quantum communication, with its unconditional security feature, provides an indestructible security barrier for the transmission of energy storage station monitoring data, eliminating the risk of data being stolen or tampered with. As an advanced machine learning method, reinforcement learning enables the monitoring system to autonomously learn and optimize decision-making strategies in complex operating environments, realizing the refined management and control of the energy storage system.

[0021] Embodiment 1, a distributed energy storage station monitoring system, includes:

[0022] The device layer, which serves as the foundation of the entire system, consists of multiple energy storage units. Each energy storage unit is equipped with an intelligent terminal and an edge computing unit. The intelligent terminal is built-in with an Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) chip, which can accurately estimate the battery state at a high sampling frequency of 1 kHz. The SOC estimation error is strictly controlled within the range of ±1%, providing accurate data support for battery charge and discharge management. The edge computing unit adopts the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier platform, supporting local model training and real-time data preprocessing. It uses wavelet threshold denoising and Kalman filtering technologies to effectively remove data noise interference. After denoising, the signal-to-noise ratio is significantly increased by 20 dB, ensuring high-quality and highly reliable data, and laying a solid foundation for the intelligent decision-making of the subsequent monitoring system.

[0023] The communication layer is responsible for data transmission. It adopts a hybrid networking method including LoRaWAN channels, 5G URLLC slices, and fiber optic ring networks, supporting three-channel redundant switching. The time slot allocation accuracy reaches ±0.5 μs, and the switching delay between the primary and backup channels is less than 5 ms, ensuring efficient data transmission and high reliability. At the same time, the quantum key distribution technology is introduced. Encrypted communication is carried out through the QKD device using the decoy state BB84 protocol. The light source is a single-photon emitter, and the key generation rate is 2.1 Mbps, with a bit error rate lower than 10 -12 , providing a high level of security for data transmission, ensuring that data is accurately transmitted between the device layer and the station control layer, and at the same time accurately transmitting the control instructions issued by the station control layer and the optimization engine to the device layer, realizing remote and precise control of the energy storage units.

[0024] The station control layer deploys the Acrel-1000DP monitoring host, integrating the IEC-61850 protocol conversion module and the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain evidence storage system to achieve centralized monitoring and management of the energy storage station. It receives the data transmitted by the communication layer, comprehensively monitors the operation status of the energy storage station, and can grasp in real time information such as device status, fault alarms, and operation parameters. The station control layer integrates and analyzes the data, provides decision-making support for the optimization engine, and also converts the dynamic charge and discharge strategies generated by the optimization engine into specific control instructions, which are sent to the energy storage units of the device layer through the communication layer to ensure the effective execution of the charge and discharge strategies.

[0025] The optimization engine, as the core of intelligent decision-making, is based on the mixed-integer quadratic programming and reinforcement learning algorithms. Taking the charge and discharge power P i (i = 1, …, N) of each energy storage unit as decision variables, a target function is constructed, aiming to minimize the weighted sum of the grid interaction cost, the battery health degradation rate, the total communication and computing delay, and the charge and discharge power tracking error. The specific target function is:

Specifically, the dynamic charge and discharge strategy adopts a two-charge and two-discharge mode, charging from 0:00 to 6:00, discharging from 9:00 to 11:00, charging from 14:00 to 16:00, and discharging from 18:00 to 20:00. This strategy is transmitted to the device layer through the station control layer and the communication layer to guide the charge and discharge behavior of the energy storage unit, achieving peak shaving and valley filling, reducing the grid cost, while extending the battery life and ensuring system real-time performance.

The collected data is preprocessed in the edge computing unit, and the wavelet threshold denoising technology is used to remove high-frequency noise, and then the Kalman filtering algorithm is used for further smoothing processing to improve the accuracy and reliability of the data. The preprocessed data is timestamped, encapsulated in a certain data format, and transmitted to the station control layer through the communication layer.

With the goal of minimizing the grid interaction cost, etc., it adjusts the charge and discharge power of each energy storage unit and formulates the charge and discharge plan. The generated strategy is transmitted to the energy storage unit in the device layer through the station control layer and the communication layer to guide its charge and discharge behavior and achieve optimization goals such as peak shaving and valley filling.

[0040] Execution and Feedback:

[0041] The energy storage unit in the device layer adjusts the charge and discharge power according to the received charge and discharge instructions and performs the corresponding operations. During the execution, the intelligent terminal collects battery data in real time and feeds back the execution results and the current status to the edge computing unit. The edge computing unit processes and analyzes the feedback data, judges the execution situation and effect of the charge and discharge operations, and reports to the station control layer and the optimization engine in time when abnormal, so as to adjust and optimize the strategy to ensure the stable operation of the system.

[0042] Data Storage and Analysis:

[0043] The monitoring host in the station control layer stores the collected data and strategy information and establishes a historical database. Through data analysis and mining, it understands the operation rules of the energy storage station and the change trend of battery performance, providing a basis for system maintenance and optimization. Using the analysis results, it improves the algorithm model of the optimization engine, improves the accuracy and effectiveness of strategy generation, and enhances the intelligent level of the monitoring system performance.
