Background Art

[0002] Slope gravity energy storage technology is a new type of energy storage method. This technology converts electrical energy into gravitational potential energy through a slope gravity energy storage system and uses it as a form of energy storage. Gravity energy storage can not only achieve long-term energy storage, but also quickly release energy when needed, thereby enhancing the peak-shaving capacity of the power grid.

[0003] For a single slope-type gravity energy storage system, the output power of the slope-type gravity energy storage is unstable, so it cannot be used as a reliable power source. In order to solve the problem of fluctuations in the output power of slope-type gravity energy storage, traditional technologies generally use a delayed compensation method, that is, using two or more independent systems, assuming that the mass and sliding speed of each truck are the same, and running at a certain interval start time, and setting the time interval for the release of trucks on different tracks, so that the peak and valley values ​​of the power generation of each track are staggered, so that the overall fluctuation amplitude of the power output can be effectively reduced.

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0042] The power generation control method of the slope type gravity energy storage system provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown, the slope gravity energy storage system mainly includes a high-altitude platform, a low-altitude platform, a track connecting the two platforms, a truck, a power generation unit, a transmission mechanism, and a control terminal. The control terminal can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablet computers.

[0043] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a method for controlling the power generation of a slope type gravity energy storage system is provided. Figure 1 The control terminal in the example is used to illustrate the process, including the following steps:

[0044] Step S201, obtain the total power generation instruction for the slope type gravity energy storage system, and determine the power generation allocation power of each currently available power generation unit according to the total power generation instruction and the number of currently available power generation units; the currently available power generation unit is a power generation device including two tracks.

[0045] Specifically, the control terminal obtains a total power generation instruction for the slope-type gravity energy storage system, and calculates the power generation distribution power of each currently available power generation unit according to the total power generation instruction and the number of currently available power generation units.

[0046] For example, assuming that there are n power generation units in a state that can work simultaneously, without considering the influence of external factors such as the different friction of each track, the ideal situation is to evenly distribute the total power generation command to each power generation unit that can currently work simultaneously. Then the power P allocated to each power generation unit is i :

[0047] (i=1,2,3,.....,n)

[0048] Step S202 : determining the target speed of the truck in the currently available power generation unit during the uniform descent phase according to the power generation influencing factors and the power generation allocation power of the currently available power generation unit.

[0049] Among them, factors affecting power generation include but are not limited to the mass of the truck, the slope inclination angle, the air resistance coefficient, the windward area of ​​the truck, and the air density.

[0050] Specifically, because the speed of the truck changes rapidly during the acceleration and deceleration phases of energy release, the power generation is unstable. Therefore, the power generation requirement is mainly concentrated in the stage of uniform motion of the truck. Therefore, when the truck is moving at a uniform speed, its power generation should be slightly greater than or equal to the grid power generation instruction P i , the net force in the direction of motion is zero when the speed is uniform. At this time, the traction force F of the truck on the transmission system t for:

[0051]

[0052] In the above formula, m is the mass of the truck, g is the acceleration of gravity, β is the slope angle, C D is the air resistance coefficient, f is the rolling friction coefficient, A is the frontal area of ​​the truck, and ρ is the air density. i Calculate the mechanical power of a single-track permanent magnet synchronous motor. m represents the mechanical power provided by the truck to the system, η represents the power generation efficiency of the generator, and the formula for the mechanical power corresponding to the uniform speed is obtained as follows: Figure 3 The uniform speed-power curve shown is:

[0053]

[0054] Under the premise of keeping all equipment safe, the load truck should have an adjustable maximum speed range, according to the power generation power P required for a single slope load system. iThe speed V that the truck should maintain during the uniform speed period can be calculated by reverse calculation. <V max , to obtain the optimal uniform speed of the truck as the target speed, and avoid energy loss caused by inappropriate falling speed.

[0055] Step S203, determining the acceleration time of the truck in the acceleration downhill phase according to the target speed and the preset acceleration condition of the truck, and determining the deceleration time of the truck in the deceleration downhill phase according to the acceleration downhill time.

[0056] Specifically, for the traction force F of the transmission system in the currently available power generation unit t The equation is:

[0057]

[0058] In the above formula, T E is the electromagnetic torque of the generator, i G is the transmission ratio of the transmission system, η T is the mechanical efficiency of the transmission system, R is the radius of the transmission structure, and when the optimal uniform speed is known, the stator current (stator winding current) dq-axis component i of the permanent magnet generator is calculated according to the electromagnetic torque equation. d and i q :

[0059]

[0060] In the above formula, p is the number of rotor poles of the generator, Ψ d and Ψ q is the stator flux dq axis component. Based on the above equation, the stator current i can be obtained d and i q This relationship allows the generator to output a stable electromagnetic torque. Given the optimal uniform speed V, the change in truck speed from acceleration to uniform speed can be calculated, yielding the time t1 required for the acceleration phase. During the deceleration process of the trucks, considering power superposition, the time it takes for the first batch of trucks to decelerate to the bottom of the slope should be the same as the time it takes for the second batch of trucks to accelerate, thereby minimizing fluctuations in generated power.

[0061] Step S204, in response to the power generation start signal for the slope-type gravity energy storage system, multiple batches of trucks in each currently available power generation unit are controlled to sequentially slide down on the high-altitude platform of the currently available power generation unit according to the target speed, acceleration and deceleration time.

[0062] Specifically, while the first batch of trucks is descending, the second batch of trucks should be in place at the top of the slope, braked and parked, ready to descend at any time. During the deceleration process, the time it takes for the first batch of trucks to decelerate to the bottom of the slope should be the same as the acceleration phase for the second batch of trucks, considering power superposition. This reduces fluctuations in generated power. Assuming the time required for the deceleration phase of the trucks to descend, t2 = t1, according to the delay-compensated power curve, when the trucks on one track release energy and reach the descent phase, the other truck on the other track is controlled to begin accelerating downward.

[0063] The power generation control method of the above-mentioned slope-type gravity energy storage system first determines the power generation allocation power of each currently available power generation unit according to the total power generation power instruction and the number of currently available power generation units, and then calculates the optimal falling speed of the truck in the uniform descent stage according to the power generation influencing factors and the power generation allocation power as the target speed. Then, according to the target speed and the preset acceleration conditions of the truck, the time required for the truck in the acceleration descent stage and the deceleration descent stage is calculated, so as to regulate the initial falling time of the next batch of trucks, thereby improving the stability and flexibility of the output power of the slope-type gravity energy storage system. Compared with the delay compensation method in traditional technology, the present application can more flexibly regulate the falling time of the truck, reduce the power fluctuation amplitude, improve its adaptability to the power grid and the power quality, and at the same time optimize the energy conversion efficiency and operational reliability of the system, and promote the widespread application and development of gravity energy storage technology in the energy field.

[0064] In one embodiment, the acceleration and deceleration time are the same. In step S201, based on the target speed, the acceleration and deceleration time, multiple batches of trucks in each currently available power generation unit are controlled to sequentially descend on the high-altitude platform of the currently available power generation unit, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0065] After the current batch of trucks starts to slide down on one track of the high-altitude platform, the current batch of trucks is controlled to reach the target speed within the accelerated descent time and enter the uniform descent stage; when it is recognized that the current batch of trucks has entered the target position, the next batch of trucks is controlled to start sliding down on another track of the high-altitude platform.

[0066] Specifically, under actual working conditions, due to the slope length, single track operation power generation does not meet the actual power generation needs, and it takes a while to run after the single track operation ends, so in this embodiment, the power of two tracks is alternately superimposed to achieve stable power output. Figure 4As shown in the figure, (a) shows the power superposition diagram of the dual-track energy release process before optimization, and (b) shows the power superposition diagram of the dual-track energy release process after optimization. While the first batch of trucks is descending, the second batch of trucks should be in place at the top of the slope, parked with the brakes, and ready to descend at any time. During the deceleration process of the trucks, from the perspective of power superposition, the time it takes for the first batch of trucks to decelerate to the bottom of the slope should be the same as the time it takes for the second batch of trucks to accelerate, thereby reducing the fluctuation of the generated power. Assume that the time required for the trucks to decelerate and descend is t2 = t1. According to the delay-compensated power curve, when the trucks on one track release energy and reach the descent stage, the other batch of trucks is controlled to begin accelerating down the other track.

[0067] In one embodiment, before controlling the multiple batches of trucks in each currently available power generation unit to sequentially descend on the high-altitude platform of the currently available power generation unit according to the target speed, acceleration and deceleration time, the method of the present application further includes the following steps:

[0068] According to the preset deceleration conditions and target speed of the truck, the speed change information of the truck during the deceleration and descent phase is obtained; according to the speed change information and the deceleration and descent time, the driving distance of the truck during the deceleration and descent phase is determined, and the target position is determined according to the driving distance and the preset end point of the truck.

[0069] Specifically, because the moment the current batch of trucks begins its deceleration phase also coincides with the moment the next batch of trucks preparing for power generation begins its acceleration phase, this timing needs to be determined. The speed change information of the trucks during the deceleration phase can be estimated based on the trucks' preset deceleration conditions and target speed. The distance traveled during the deceleration phase is then calculated based on this speed change information and the deceleration time. The target position is determined when the distance between the trucks and the destination and the distance traveled are equal.

[0070] In one embodiment, the method of the present application further includes the following steps:

[0071] According to the target speed and the factors affecting the descent of the truck, the traction force of the generator of the currently available power generation unit of the truck during the uniform descent is obtained; according to the traction force of the generator and the power generation influencing factors of the currently available power generation unit, the electromagnetic torque of the generator of the truck during the uniform descent is determined; based on the electromagnetic torque of the generator, the preset acceleration conditions and the preset deceleration conditions are set.

[0072] When the truck moves at a constant speed, its power generation should be slightly greater than or equal to the grid power generation instruction P i , the net force in the direction of motion is zero when the speed is uniform. At this time, the traction force F of the truck on the transmission system t for:

[0073]

[0074] In the above formula, m is the mass of the truck, g is the acceleration of gravity, β is the slope angle, C D is the air resistance coefficient, f is the rolling friction coefficient, A is the frontal area of ​​the truck, and ρ is the air density. i Calculate the mechanical power of a single-track permanent magnet synchronous motor. m represents the mechanical power provided by the truck to the system, and η represents the power generation efficiency of the generator. The formula for the mechanical power corresponding to the uniform speed is:

[0075]

[0076] Under the premise of keeping all equipment safe, the load truck should have an adjustable maximum speed range, according to the power generation power P required for a single slope load system. i The speed V that the truck should maintain during the uniform speed period can be calculated by reverse calculation. <V max , to obtain the optimal uniform speed of the truck as the target speed, and avoid energy loss caused by inappropriate falling speed.

[0077] The traction force F of the drive system in the currently available power generation unit t The equation is:

[0078]

[0079] In the above formula, T E is the electromagnetic torque of the generator, i G is the transmission ratio of the transmission system, η T is the mechanical efficiency of the transmission system, R is the radius of the transmission structure, and when the optimal uniform speed is known, the stator current (stator winding current) dq-axis component i of the permanent magnet generator is calculated according to the electromagnetic torque equation. d and i q :

[0080]

[0081] In the above formula, p is the number of rotor poles of the generator, Ψ d and Ψ q is the stator flux dq axis component. Based on the above equation, the stator current i can be obtained d and i q The generator can be set to output a stable target electromagnetic torque. During the acceleration and deceleration phase, a current electromagnetic torque smaller than the target electromagnetic torque can be set as the preset acceleration condition. During the deceleration and deceleration phase, a current electromagnetic torque larger than the target electromagnetic torque can be set as the preset deceleration condition.

[0082] In one embodiment, the method of the present application further includes the following steps:

[0083] The speed setting value of the truck and the actual speed value of the truck measured by the speed sensor are obtained, and the speed deviation is determined based on the speed setting value and the actual speed value; a speed adjustment signal is generated based on the speed deviation, and the controller changes the current electromagnetic torque of the generator according to the speed adjustment signal to adjust the descent speed of the truck.

[0084] It should be noted that due to friction changes during the descent of the truck, as well as external factors such as the weather, the actual speed may vary. A speed sensor equipped with a wireless module is installed on the truck to measure the truck's real-time speed (Vr) and monitor the system's operating parameters. When the sensor detects the real-time speed, the PI controller adjusts the truck's speed based on feedback, compensating for any impact on power output. This ensures that the load's movement and power generation processes are better aligned, maintaining stable power output.

[0085]

[0086] Electromagnetic torque: V(t)+K I

[0087] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, the PI controller calculates the speed setpoint V(t) based on the grid power command and the sensor's real-time speed to obtain the speed deviation ∆V. This controller then calculates the motor's electromagnetic torque reference value, adjusts the current in the permanent magnet synchronous generator's stator winding, and changes the magnitude of the electromagnetic torque, increasing or decreasing the vehicle's descent speed until the energy release process is complete. During the drop, the interval between load releases is dynamically adjusted based on the system's real-time status and the preset power target, ensuring the generator's output power remains within the set range and ensuring stable system operation. Furthermore, sensors monitor the operating speed in real time to ensure it does not exceed safety limits. If an abnormal increase in speed is detected, the system can initiate emergency braking to prevent accidents.

[0088] In one embodiment, the method of the present application further includes the following steps:

[0089] In response to the power generation stop signal for the slope type gravity energy storage system, sending of a new batch of trucks is stopped, and power generation is ended when it is identified that all the trucks have slid down and stopped at the low altitude platform of the slope type gravity energy storage system.

[0090] Specifically, the control terminal stops sending a new batch of trucks in response to the power generation stop signal for the sloped gravity energy storage system, and ends power generation when it identifies that all the trucks have slid down and stopped on the low-altitude platform of the sloped gravity energy storage system, thereby flexibly controlling the start and stop of the sloped gravity energy storage system according to the power generation start signal and the power generation stop signal.

[0091] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, a method for controlling power generation of a slope-type gravity energy storage system in a specific embodiment is provided, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0092] Step S601: Obtain a total power generation instruction for the slope-type gravity energy storage system, and determine the power generation allocation power of each currently available power generation unit according to the total power generation instruction and the number of currently available power generation units.

[0093] Step S602 : determining the target speed of the truck in the currently available power generation unit during the uniform descent phase according to the power generation influencing factors and the power generation allocation power of the currently available power generation unit.

[0094] Step S603, determining the acceleration time of the truck during the acceleration and descent phase according to the target speed and the preset acceleration condition of the truck, and determining the deceleration time of the truck during the deceleration and descent phase according to the descent time.

[0095] Step S604, based on the preset deceleration conditions and target speed of the truck, obtain the speed change information of the truck during the deceleration and descent phase; based on the speed change information and the deceleration and descent time, determine the distance traveled by the truck during the deceleration and descent phase, and determine the target position based on the travel distance and the preset end point of the truck.

[0096] Step S605: After the current batch of trucks starts to slide down on a track on the high-altitude platform, the current batch of trucks is controlled to reach the target speed within the accelerated descent time and enter the uniform descent stage; when it is recognized that the current batch of trucks has entered the target position, the next batch of trucks is controlled to start sliding down on another track on the high-altitude platform.

[0097] Step S606, obtain the speed setting value of the truck and the actual speed value of the truck measured by the speed sensor, determine the speed deviation based on the speed setting value and the actual speed value; generate a speed adjustment signal based on the speed deviation, and the controller changes the current electromagnetic torque of the generator according to the speed adjustment signal to adjust the descent speed of the truck.
