Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of charging and replacing electric vehicles, and in particular to a charging, discharging and replacing method for electric vehicles and a replacing device thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the gradual popularization of electric vehicles, the continuous construction of charging and battery swapping stations, the demand for electricity has gradually increased, which will have a certain impact on the power grid. The demand for power capacity has increased, exacerbating the peak and valley difference in electricity consumption, which has a great impact on the power grid and affects the normal life of residents. Existing charging stations or battery swapping stations only provide charging and battery swapping services for electric vehicles, and fail to interact with the power grid. Electric vehicles and battery swapping boxes cannot be used as energy storage units to discharge for the power grid.

[0003] Among the current charging methods for batteries, there are three mainstream charging methods: the specific implementation process of the constant current and constant voltage charging method is divided into three processes: pre-charging, constant current charging and constant voltage charging. In this method, the polarization of the battery cannot be eliminated, and the charging speed is slow; the specific implementation process of the variable current intermittent charging method is divided into two processes: the variable current intermittent charging stage and the constant voltage charging stage. In this method, the polarization of the battery is reduced during the charging stop period, thereby speeding up the charging speed, but the charging mode circuit is relatively complex and expensive; the specific implementation process of the pulse charging method is consistent with the constant current and constant voltage charging method process, and at the same time, a large current pulse is used to intermittently charge the battery in the pulse charging stage. This method breaks the constraints of the optimal charging current curve on battery charging, has high charging efficiency, small temperature changes, and little impact on battery life, but requires a separate power supply with current limiting function, which greatly increases the charging cost.

[0004] The present invention proposes a charging, discharging and battery swapping method and a battery swapping device for electric vehicles. When the grid load reaches a peak value, the charging and battery swapping container can be used as a large-scale energy storage to provide electric energy for the grid. The charging and battery swapping container can not only provide charging and battery swapping services for electric vehicles, but also provide electric energy for the grid according to grid dispatch, which can more effectively improve the utilization rate and economic benefits of the charging and battery swapping container.

[0067] S11. The best charging curve of the current in the battery box or charging pile: According to Maas's law, the expression of the best charging curve is as follows:

[0071]

[0072] According to formulas (1) and (2), the expression of the optimal charging curve at a certain moment in the battery box or charging pile is as follows:

[0078] Preferably, the comparison in step S2 is the sum of the charging requirements of the charging pile and the battery box and the charging capacity S of the AC / DC charging and discharging unit. 0 , and complete the specific process of the corresponding operation as follows:

[0079] S21, if S 0 ≥S 1 +S 2, execute step S4.

[0082] Specifically, the specific operation steps of step S31 include:

[0083] S311, if S 0 ≥S 1 , then execute step S4.

[0084] S312, if S 0 <S 1 When the battery box stops charging, the AC / DC charging and discharging unit controls the battery box to charge the charging pile, so that S 0 +S 2 =S 1 , execute step S4.

[0088] Furthermore, the specific process of the voltage and current of the battery in step S4 according to the real-time feedback of the electric vehicle battery box management system and the battery box management system of the battery replacement unit is as follows:

[0089] S41, the AC / DC controller adjusts the output of the AC / DC charge and discharge unit according to the charging demand voltage and current fed back in real time by the electric vehicle battery box management system, until the output voltage is consistent with the voltage of the battery in the charging pile, the output current is 0, the AC / DC charge and discharge unit stops outputting, starts the standby mode, and completes charging.

[0090] S42, the AC / DC controller adjusts the output of the AC / DC charge and discharge unit according to the charging demand voltage and current fed back in real time by the battery box management system of the battery swap unit, until the output voltage is consistent with the voltage of the electric vehicle battery box and the output current is 0, the AC / DC charge and discharge unit stops outputting, starts the standby mode, and completes charging.

[0092] In the charging, discharging and battery swapping method for electric vehicles, not only can conventional charging operations such as charging piles charging battery boxes, charging piles charging electric vehicles through charging pile battery management systems and battery boxes charging electric vehicles through electric vehicle battery box management systems be realized, but also the battery boxes of electric vehicles are discharged to the power grid through high-voltage AC distribution units, solving the problem that when the power grid load reaches its peak, the charging and battery swapping containers provide power to the power grid as large-scale energy storage services, and provide power to the power grid according to power grid dispatch, effectively improving the utilization rate and economic benefits of charging and swapping stations.

[0093] The following is a further description of a charging and discharging battery replacement method and a battery replacement device for an electric vehicle according to the present invention in combination with an embodiment:

[0094] The specific implementation process of the charging and discharging method of the present invention is as follows:

[0095] S1, AC / DC controller according to the charging and discharging characteristics of the electric vehicle battery box charging demand S 1 and the charging demand S of the charging pile 2 , monitor the changes in charging demand in real time, and provide priority charging timing according to the charging needs of electric vehicle battery boxes and charging piles.

[0096] S2. On the basis of the optimal charging curve in step S1, and based on the capacity of the existing electric vehicle battery box being 60kWh, and in order to better extend the service life of the electric vehicle battery box, the current charging and swapping unit in the charging and swapping container takes 1.5 hours to charge the battery box, while the electric vehicle battery box is generally charged in the charging pile within 1 hour. Therefore, the charging capacity threshold of the AC / DC charging and discharging unit is set to 60kW, the charging demand threshold of the charging pile is set to 60kW, and the charging demand threshold of the electric vehicle battery box is set to 120kW.

[0097] When the charging pile and the battery box need to be charged at the same time, the charging controller receives the request for charging the battery box and the request for charging the electric vehicle, and compares the total capacity S of the charging pile and the battery box and the charging capacity S of the AC / DC charging unit. 0 , and make corresponding judgments.

[0098] That is, all AC / DC charging and discharging units are in working condition. The charging demand of an existing electric vehicle battery box is 80kW. The AC / DC charging and discharging unit corresponding to the charging pile can only provide 60kW of power output for the electric vehicle. Other AC / DC charging and discharging units cannot provide excess power. The AC / DC controller controls the AC / DC charging and discharging unit to reduce the output to the battery box until the battery box provides the remaining 20kW of power for the electric vehicle.

[0099] S3. When the charging pile and the battery box require charging at different times, the AC / DC controller compares the total capacity S of the charging pile and the battery box with the charging capacity S of the AC / DC charging and discharging unit. 0 , and complete the corresponding operations.

[0100] S31. If the AC / DC controller detects that only the battery box needs to be charged, the AC / DC controller compares the charging capacity S of the AC / DC charging and discharging unit. 0 and the battery box charging requirement S 1 , and complete the corresponding operations.

[0101] S32: If the AC / DC controller detects that only the battery box of the electric vehicle needs to be charged, the AC / DC controller compares the charging capacity S of the AC / DC charging and discharging unit. 0 and the charging demand S of the charging pile 2 , and complete the corresponding operations.

[0102] S33: If the AC / DC controller does not require charging at the same time, when the AC / DC controller detects that a charging demand from a battery box or a charging pile is added, execute step S2.

[0103] That is, all AC / DC charging and discharging units are in working condition. The charging demand of an electric vehicle battery box is 60kW, and the AC / DC charging and discharging unit corresponding to the charging pile provides 60kW power output for the electric vehicle.

[0104] S4. According to the battery voltage and current fed back in real time by the electric vehicle battery box management system and the battery box management system of the battery swap unit, the output voltage and current of the charging pile are adjusted to make the battery charging current closer to the optimal charging curve of the battery, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the corresponding charging is completed.

[0105] Through the above embodiments, it can be seen that the battery capacity charging method of the present invention better highlights: the charging time is shorter than others and the charging speed is the fastest; the voltage at the battery end and the SOC at the end of charging are relatively high, and the battery charging efficiency is more sufficient.

[0106] The charging and discharging method of the present invention utilizes idle batteries to eliminate peak loads and fill valley loads. When necessary, it can reversely send electricity to the power grid to reduce operating costs. When the electricity price is high, the idle battery power is used to charge the vehicle. When the capacity of the charging and discharging device is limited, the load on the power grid is not increased, and the battery power is used as a supplement to meet the charging demand as much as possible. The output power of the charging pile is reasonably configured to improve the utilization efficiency of the charging pile. The charging pile can charge the electric vehicle and the battery box at the same time.

[0107] In summary, when the grid load is at its peak, the charging and swapping containers of the present invention can be used as large-scale energy storage to provide electricity to the grid; the charging and swapping containers can not only provide charging and swapping services for electric vehicles, but also provide electricity to the grid according to the grid dispatch, which can more effectively improve the utilization rate and economic benefits of the charging and swapping containers.

[0108] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
