Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of distributed energy storage in a microgrid island mode, and specifically relates to a SOC balancing control method for multiple parallel energy storage devices. Background Art

[0002] Environmental pollution and energy crisis are becoming increasingly serious. With the development and application of new energy generation technologies such as photovoltaic, hydropower and wind power, and in order to coordinate the contradiction between large power grids and distributed power sources, microgrid applications have emerged. Since distributed power generation in microgrids is intermittent and volatile, multiple parallel energy storage devices are required to maintain the reliability and stability of microgrid operation. The energy storage device consists of energy storage battery packs and energy storage converters.

[0003] Due to the differences in production materials and manufacturing processes of energy storage battery packs in the microgrid system, the initial SOC values ​​of the energy storage battery packs in the energy storage device are inconsistent. When the energy storage device is connected to the microgrid AC bus with inconsistent lengths, the line impedance is different, which makes the output power of each energy storage device different. These will cause the SOC of multiple parallel energy storage devices to be unbalanced during the charging and discharging process. SOC imbalance causes some energy storage devices to over-charge and discharge, reaching the charge and discharge limit, thereby shortening the service life of the energy storage device, so that a certain energy storage device will be out of operation prematurely. When the capacity of the remaining energy storage devices is insufficient to meet the load demand, some loads will be out of operation, and in more serious cases, the system will crash. Therefore, it is of great research significance to adjust the output power of the energy storage device in real time to balance the SOC under the SOC imbalance of the energy storage device caused by various situations.
