[0052] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a coordinated control method for a wave power generator provided by the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes steps 101 to 104, which are specifically as follows:

[0055] Step 101: collecting electrical and physical signals of each subunit of the wave power generator at the current moment in real time, wherein each subunit includes a hydraulic autonomous control unit, a hydraulic power generation rectifier unit, and a grid-connected inverter unit.

[0056] In one embodiment, a monitoring module is installed at the outlet of each subunit of the wave power generator, and the electrical and physical signals of each subunit at the current moment are collected in real time by the monitoring module.

[0057] In one embodiment, the subunits of the wave power generator include a hydraulic autonomous control unit, a hydraulic power generation rectifier unit, and a grid-connected inverter unit.

[0058] In one embodiment, the electrical signals of each subunit include the first DC bus voltage, the first generator output voltage and current signals, and the first grid-connected inverter unit load voltage and current signals; the physical signals of each subunit include the control switch state and the real-time pressure of the first accumulator.

[0059] In one embodiment, the monitoring module uploads the electrical signals and physical signals of each subunit collected in real time to the optimization calculation module, and displays the collected electrical signals and physical signals in real time through the human-computer interaction module.

[0060] Step 102: Obtain and calculate predicted operating data of the wave power generator at the next moment based on the historical operating data of the wave power generator, the electrical signal, and the physical signal; adjust the operating mode of each subunit based on the predicted operating data, and generate a first adjustment control instruction corresponding to each subunit.

[0061] In one embodiment, after receiving the electrical signals and physical signals of each subunit collected in real time by the monitoring module, the optimization calculation module optimizes and calculates the collected electrical signals and physical signals through the algorithm built into the optimization calculation module to obtain the output power P of the first hydraulic power generation and rectification unit at the current moment. wave and the first grid-connected inverter unit load consumption power P load , where the built-in algorithm is a general power calculation formula.

[0062] In one embodiment, the optimization calculation module further obtains historical operating data of the wave power generator, wherein the historical operating data includes historical electrical signals, historical physical signals, historical hydraulic power generation rectifier unit output power, and historical grid-connected inverter unit load consumption power of each subunit corresponding to each historical moment before the current moment.

[0063] In one embodiment, a first wave power generator operation data prediction model is constructed based on an artificial neural network algorithm. The first wave power generator operation data prediction model is trained based on the acquired historical operation data to obtain a second wave power generator operation data prediction model. The calculated output power P of the first hydraulic power generation rectifier unit is converted into wave and the first grid-connected inverter unit load consumption power P load Input to the second wave power generator operation data prediction model, so that the second wave power generator operation data prediction model outputs the predicted operation data of the wave power generator at the next moment, wherein the predicted operation data includes the output power P' of the second hydraulic power generation rectifier unit wave , the load power consumption of the second grid-connected inverter unit P' load , the second DC bus voltage u′ dc and the second accumulator pressure p′ acc .

[0064] In one embodiment, the working mode of each subunit at the next moment is predicted based on the predicted operation data, the predicted working mode corresponding to each subunit is obtained, and the working mode at the current moment is adjusted according to the predicted working mode; specifically, by setting the second accumulator pressure p′ acc In order to prioritize the judgment signal and obtain the hydraulic motor solenoid valve opening pressure and accumulator limit pressure, according to the predicted output power P' of the second power generation and rectification unit wave , the load power consumption of the second grid-connected inverter unit P' load The working mode of each subunit is adjusted according to the energy supply and demand balance between them.

[0065] In one embodiment, according to the predicted output power P′ of the second power generation and rectification unit wave , the load power consumption of the second grid-connected inverter unit P' load The energy supply and demand balance relationship between the two, the wave generator can work in the following modes:

[0066] Working mode 1: If the pressure of the second accumulator is less than the opening pressure p' of the hydraulic motor solenoid valve acc <p open , that is, the accumulator outlet pressure cannot reach the hydraulic motor solenoid valve opening pressure, and it is predicted that the working mode of the wave power generator is the standby energy storage mode;

[0067] Working mode 2: When the pressure of the second accumulator is not less than the opening pressure p' of the hydraulic motor solenoid valve acc ≥p open , that is, the accumulator outlet pressure reaches the opening pressure, the hydraulic autonomous controller controls the hydraulic motor solenoid valve to open, and it is predicted that the working mode of the wave power generator is the power generation mode.

[0068] Working mode 2.1: If P′ wave >P′ load , then the power generation of the wave generator is greater than the load consumption power of the second grid-connected inverter unit. At this time, according to the predicted second DC bus voltage u′ dc , through the power generation rectifier controller and the hydraulic autonomous controller, the hydraulic power generation rectifier unit converter and the overflow valve working mode are adjusted in real time, so that the overall power demand of the wave power generator reaches the output power P' of the second hydraulic power generation rectifier unit wave and the load consumption power P′ of the second grid-connected inverter unit load The equilibrium state, that is, P′ wave =P′ load .

[0069] Specifically, the grid-connected controller adjusts the DC / AC inverter of the grid-connected inverter unit to operate in the current source mode, injects current (power) into the AC bus, and controls the voltage stability of the second DC bus and provides voltage and frequency support for the AC bus; the working mode of the AC / DC rectifier in the hydraulic power generation rectifier unit is determined by the second DC bus voltage u′ dc Determined by, when the second DC bus voltage u′ dc When the hydraulic power generation rectifier unit is below the warning threshold, it works in the current source mode and is connected to the intermediate DC bus in the form of a current source. dc When the threshold is exceeded, the hydraulic generator rectifier unit is adjusted to the voltage source mode, and the opening of the overflow valve is adjusted to reduce the accumulator outlet pressure to assist in completing the voltage stabilization control of the DC bus.

[0070] Working mode 2.2: If P′ wave <P′ load , then the power generated by the hydraulic generator rectifier unit of the wave power generator is less than the load demand power. At this time, part of the grid-connected load should be cut off according to the priority order of the load units to make the overall power demand of the wave power generator reach P' as much as possible. wave =P′ load The device can maintain a certain power transmission capacity and avoid entering an island operation mode.

[0071] Specifically, the AC / DC rectifier of the hydraulic power generation rectifier unit is adjusted to operate in current source mode through the power generation rectifier controller, and maximum power tracking control is performed. It is connected to the intermediate DC bus in the form of a current source, and at the same time, part of the grid-connected load is cut off according to the priority order of the load units; the DC / AC inverter in the grid-connected inverter unit is adjusted to operate in current source mode through the grid-connected inverter controller, and current (power) is injected into the AC bus. At the same time, the voltage of the intermediate DC bus is controlled to be stable, and voltage and frequency support is provided for the AC bus.

[0072] Working mode 2.3: If the power generated by the hydraulic generating rectifier unit is still less than the load demand power after the above adjustment, it means that the wave power generator has lost the ability to transmit electricity. At this time, the grid load users should be completely cut off, and only the ship's power load unit should be retained. The wave power generator enters the island operation mode, and the AC / DC rectifier in the hydraulic generating rectifier unit is adjusted to work in the current source mode through the power generation rectifier controller, and the maximum power tracking control is performed. It is connected to the intermediate DC bus in the form of a current source; the DC / AC inverter in the grid-connected inverter unit is stopped through the grid-connected inverter controller.

[0073] Working mode 3: If the second accumulator pressure is not less than the accumulator limit pressure p' acc ≥p limit , the accumulator outlet pressure rises to the accumulator limit pressure, that is, reaches the overflow valve opening pressure. At this time, the hydraulic autonomous controller fully opens the overflow valve for rapid diversion to reduce the accumulator pressure value. At the same time, the power generation rectifier controller adjusts the working mode of the hydraulic power generation rectifier unit, and the grid-connected inverter controller adjusts the working mode of the grid-connected inverter unit. It is predicted that the working mode of the hydraulic power generation rectifier unit is voltage source mode, and the working mode of the grid-connected inverter unit is current source mode.

[0074] In one embodiment, after determining the predicted working mode by predicting the operating data, the working mode at the current moment is adjusted according to the predicted working mode, and a first adjustment control instruction corresponding to each sub-unit is generated, wherein the first adjustment control instruction includes the solenoid valve opening signal and the overflow valve opening signal in the hydraulic autonomous control unit; the AC / DC rectifier IGBT trigger pulse signal in the hydraulic power generation rectifier unit, and the DC / AC inverter IGBT trigger pulse signal in the grid-connected inverter unit and other control instructions.

[0075] In one embodiment, the optimization calculation module transmits the obtained first adjustment control instruction to the working condition simulation verification module, so that the working condition simulation verification module performs simulation verification according to the first adjustment control instruction.

[0076] Step 103: Simulate the operating conditions of each subunit according to the first adjustment control instruction to obtain simulated operating data of the wave generator. Determine whether the error between the simulated operating data and the predicted operating data is within a preset error threshold. If not, re-collect the electrical signals and physical signals of each subunit of the wave generator at the current moment, and return to step 103: obtain and calculate the predicted operating data of the wave generator at the next moment based on the historical operating data of the wave generator, the electrical signals, and the physical signals. If so, adjust the operating mode of each subunit of the wave generator according to the first adjustment control instruction.

[0077] In one embodiment, when the operating conditions of the subunits are simulated according to the first adjustment control instruction, the simulated operating data of each subunit under the corresponding first adjustment control instruction is obtained through measuring elements such as pressure gauges, voltage and current meters connected to the outlets of each subunit, wherein the simulated operating data includes: the output power of the third hydraulic power generation and rectification unit, the load consumption power of the third grid-connected inverter unit, the third DC bus voltage and the third accumulator pressure.

[0078] In one embodiment, the predicted operating data obtained in step 102 is compared with the simulated operating data, that is, the output power of the second hydraulic generating and rectifying unit, the load consumption power of the second grid-connected inverter unit, the second DC bus voltage, and the second accumulator pressure are compared with the output power of the third hydraulic generating and rectifying unit, the load consumption power of the third grid-connected inverter unit, the third DC bus voltage, and the third accumulator pressure, and the parameter error corresponding to each parameter is calculated to obtain the error between the simulated operating data and the predicted operating data.

[0079] In one embodiment, if the error between the simulated operating data and the predicted operating data is not within a preset error threshold, it is determined that the obtained first adjustment control instruction cannot enable the wave power generator to operate smoothly under different operating conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to reacquire the electrical and physical signals of each subunit of the wave power generator at the current moment. Based on the reacquired electrical and physical signals, the process returns to step 102 to recalculate the predicted operating data of the wave power generator at the next moment. Based on the predicted operating data, the operating mode of each subunit is adjusted to generate the first adjustment control instruction corresponding to each subunit. This process continues until the simulated operating data and the predicted operating data are identical, or the error between the simulated operating data and the predicted operating data is within a preset error threshold.

[0080] In one embodiment, if the simulated operating data is identical to the predicted operating data, or if the error between the simulated operating data and the predicted operating data is within a preset error threshold, a first adjustment control instruction is directly issued to the unit control module, so that the unit control module adjusts the operating mode of each subunit of the wave power generator according to the first adjustment control instruction.

[0081] Specifically, the unit control module controls the hydraulic autonomous controller, the power generation rectifier controller and the grid-connected inverter controller to respond to the first adjustment control instruction, so as to change the working modes of the solenoid valve, the relief valve, the AC / DC rectifier and the DC / AC inverter in real time to achieve the smooth operation of the wave power generator under different working conditions.

[0097] The optimization calculation module 202 has the function of exchanging information with the working condition simulation verification module 203, the unit control module 204, the monitoring module 201 and the human-computer interaction module 205. According to the electrical signals and physical signals collected and uploaded by the monitoring module 201, the first adjustment control instructions corresponding to the hydraulic autonomous control unit, the hydraulic power generation rectification control unit and the grid-connected inverter control unit are calculated through the built-in optimization algorithm, and the calculated first adjustment control instructions are passed to the working condition simulation verification module 203 for online simulation verification. Finally, the simulation operation data fed back by the working condition simulation verification module 203 is compared and analyzed with the predicted operation data. If the simulation operation data is consistent with the predicted operation data, or is within the preset error threshold range, the first adjustment control instruction is directly sent to the unit control module 204 for instruction distribution. If there is a large error in the result, the first adjustment control instruction is optimized and calculated again, and the simulation verification is repeated until the expected result is achieved.

[0098] In one embodiment, the operating condition simulation verification module 203 is responsible for performing an operating condition simulation on the first adjustment control instruction calculated by the optimization calculation module 202, and feeding the simulated operation data back to the optimization calculation module 202 for comparative analysis, thereby verifying and correcting the feasibility of the first adjustment control instruction.

When the accumulator outlet pressure reaches the solenoid valve opening pressure, the solenoid valve opens and the hydraulic motor starts to rotate. When the accumulator outlet pressure reaches the solenoid valve closing pressure, the solenoid valve closes and the hydraulic motor stops working. At the same time, when the accumulator pressure and the DC bus voltage exceed the limit, the relief valve adjusts the valve opening to realize auxiliary control; the hydraulic power generation rectifier unit AC / DC rectifier adopts a two-level voltage source converter based on IGBT, which adopts a speed outer loop and current inner loop dual closed-loop control strategy based on the optimal pressure-speed curve; the grid-connected inverter unit DC / AC inverter also adopts a two-level voltage source converter based on IGBT, and adopts a voltage outer loop and current inner loop dual closed-loop control strategy based on grid voltage-oriented vector control.

[0115] In one embodiment, the overflow valve in the hydraulic autonomous control unit 301 is a control and protection element in the wave power generator. Under normal operating conditions, the overflow valve is in a closed state. When the intermediate DC bus power is excessive, the overflow valve adjusts the valve opening according to the intermediate DC bus voltage and cooperates with the hydraulic power generation rectifier unit AC / DC rectifier to perform voltage stabilization control. In addition, under extreme wave conditions, when the accumulator pressure reaches the limit pressure p limit When the overflow valve is fully opened, the excess flow pumped out by the hydraulic cylinder will quickly flow back to the oil tank to prevent the accumulator from exploding.

[0117] In one embodiment, the grid-connected inverter unit 303 can operate in current source mode and voltage source mode. In current source mode, the DC / AC inverter injects current (power) into the AC bus, while controlling the intermediate DC bus voltage to be stable and providing voltage and frequency support for the AC bus; in voltage source mode, the DC / AC inverter controls the AC bus voltage / frequency to be stable, that is, the DC / AC inverter serves as the main power generation equipment and participates in the voltage and frequency regulation of the island microgrid.

[0118] In one embodiment, the control valve of the hydraulic motor is a solenoid valve. When the accumulator pressure reaches the opening pressure p of the solenoid valve, open The solenoid valve opens and adjusts the valve opening in real time according to the accumulator pressure. When the accumulator pressure drops to the solenoid valve closing pressure p close When the solenoid valve closes, the accumulator enters the energy storage state.

[0121] In summary, the present invention provides a wave power generator and a coordinated control method and device thereof. The method collects electrical and physical signals from each subunit of the wave power generator at the current moment in real time, obtains historical operating data of the wave power generator, and calculates predicted operating data for the wave power generator at the next moment based on the historical operating data, electrical and physical signals. Based on the predicted operating data, the operating mode of each subunit is adjusted to generate a first adjustment control instruction corresponding to each subunit. Operating condition simulation is performed on each subunit based on the first adjustment control instruction to obtain simulated operating data of the wave power generator. A determination is made as to whether an error between the simulated operating data and the predicted operating data is within a preset error threshold. If not, the method re-collects the electrical and physical signals from each subunit of the wave power generator at the current moment, and returns to calculate predicted operating data for the wave power generator at the next moment based on the historical operating data, electrical and physical signals. If so, the method adjusts the operating mode of each subunit of the wave power generator based on the first adjustment control instruction, enabling coordinated control of the wave power generator under different operating conditions, thereby improving the power supply reliability and grid-connected power quality of the wave power generator.
