Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of flow battery technology, specifically relating to a dynamic intelligent switching control method and device for flow battery PCS. Background Technology
[0002] Existing patent CN102122826A discloses a large-capacity battery energy storage bidirectional converter, which has the following problems:
[0003] 1. Fixed rotation defects: Existing PCS mostly adopts a fixed sequence or time rotation strategy, which cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the real-time status of the battery stack (such as SOC, temperature, internal resistance), resulting in some battery stacks being overloaded or idle for a long time, accelerating uneven aging.
[0004] 2. Insufficient trade-offs: Traditional methods struggle to balance efficiency and battery life under real-time operating conditions, especially in dynamic load scenarios where over-discharge or under-charging is likely to occur.
[0005] 3. Lack of synergy: Existing technologies lack the ability to synergistically optimize multiple parameters (such as SOC equalization, temperature difference, and response speed), resulting in limited overall system performance.
[0006] 4. Poor fault tolerance: When some battery stacks fail, traditional rotation strategies cannot be adjusted quickly, affecting system reliability. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a dynamic intelligent switching control method for a flow battery PCS, comprising the following steps:
[0008] S1. Real-time monitoring and fusion of multiple parameters;
[0009] S2, Dynamic Allocation and Execution;
[0010] S3, Fault Tolerance and Self-Healing.
[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, the SOC, temperature, internal resistance and electrolyte pressure data of each battery stack are collected by various sensors, normalized and then used to establish a digital model. The data is then input into the model for evaluation.
[0012] Furthermore, step S2 includes the following steps:
[0013] S21, design weighting coefficient, calculate the real-time priority score of each battery stack;
[0014] S22, Multi-objective optimization decision-making;
[0015] S23, Dynamic Allocation and Execution.
[0016] Further, in step S21, weighting coefficients are designed, and the real-time priority score of each battery stack is calculated:
[0017] Priority = α·(1-|SOC) avg -SOC i ∣)+β·(1-T max T i )+γ·SOH i r
[0018] The weighting coefficients are dynamically adjusted based on grid demand.
[0019] -Priority: Priority

[0021] -β: Temperature weighting;
[0022] -γ: Health score weight;
[0023] -avg: average value;
[0024] -max: Maximum value;
[0025] -i: Current count.
[0026] Furthermore, in step S22, multi-objective optimization decision-making is performed, and an objective function is established:
[0027] Minimize i=1∑n(w1·Agingi+w2·Lossi)
[0028] -Minimize: Minimize the objective function;
[0029] -w1, w2: These are the weight coefficients of the two objectives (and usually w1+w2=1);

[0031] -Lossi: The "loss" metric for the i-th system / component;
[0032] Constraints: SOC balance, safe temperature range, power requirement matching;
[0033] The optimal rotation sequence is solved using a genetic algorithm or particle swarm optimization.
[0034] Furthermore, in step S23, dynamic allocation and execution are performed:
[0035] High-priority battery stacks are assigned to current high-load tasks, while low-priority stacks are assigned to light-load or standby states; the "cross-stack energy transfer" mode is automatically triggered based on SOC differences to achieve SOC balancing.
[0036] Furthermore, S3's fault tolerance and self-healing:
[0037] Real-time monitoring of fault signals: voltage drop, temperature exceeding limits, triggering a three-level response:
[0038] Level 1: Reduced power operation;
[0039] Level 2: Switch to backup battery stack;
[0040] Level 3: Isolate the faulty unit and trigger an alarm.
[0041] An apparatus based on the above-described flow battery PCS dynamic intelligent rotation control method includes a sensor network, an edge computing unit, and a PCS controller, wherein the sensor network, the edge computing unit, and the PCS controller are connected in sequence.
[0042] Furthermore, the sensor network includes a SOC sensor, a temperature sensor, an internal resistance sensor, and an electrolyte pressure sensor, used to collect various parameters of the battery stack in real time.
[0043] Furthermore, the edge computing unit deploys a dynamic optimization algorithm to process and analyze the collected data, generate control commands in real time, and send them to the PCS controller for execution. The PCS controller switches the charging and discharging states of the battery stack according to the received control commands to achieve load balancing and optimal efficiency allocation.
[0044] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0045] This invention achieves load balancing and optimal efficiency allocation of multiple PCS units through a dynamic intelligent rotation control method, optimizes the PCS calling strategy, solves the problem of excessively large lifespan differences between long-term equipment downtime and long-term operation caused by traditional methods, and extends the overall service life of the equipment.
