Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for online capacity assessment of batteries in a station-use distributed DC power supply system. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial backup power source for DC systems, batteries directly impact the safe and reliable operation of the entire system. Performing a full-capacity discharge is an essential part of battery maintenance, determining whether the battery capacity meets system requirements. The full-capacity discharge requirement for batteries is 0.1C. 10 The battery is subjected to a verification discharge using a current, with a discharge duration not exceeding 10 hours. After discharge, the battery must be recharged. In actual operation and maintenance, most substations and power supply bureaus adopt two main methods for verification discharge: one is to use a discharge device to periodically perform half-capacity or full-capacity discharge on the battery; the other is to equip the DC system with an active inverter to perform verification discharge on the battery. The disadvantage of the first method is its low level of automation and high technical requirements for operators. With the acceleration of smart grid construction, various grid and provincial power maintenance companies have invested a lot of manpower and resources in battery verification discharge maintenance, but there are still instances of inadequate and untimely battery maintenance. The second method involves converting the battery's DC power into AC power through an active inverter and directly connecting it to the grid. This method can automate battery verification, but it places high demands on the inverter; otherwise, the connected AC power may interfere with the normal power grid, posing a risk of other problems. Summary of the Invention

[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The first aspect of this invention provides an online capacity verification method for a station-use distributed DC power system battery. The station-use distributed DC power system includes: a DC bus, a DC monitoring component, and a parallel power supply component. The parallel power supply component consists of a distributed DC power module and a battery. The distributed DC power module includes: an AC / DC conversion unit, a DC / DC conversion unit, a charging DC / DC unit, a discharging DC / DC unit, a first controller, a second controller, and a communication circuit. The method includes the following steps:
[0057] S200: When the battery in the parallel power supply component reaches the time when it needs to be recharged, calculate the output current limit value of the distributed DC power supply module of the parallel power supply component and send the output current limit value to the distributed DC power supply module.
[0058] S300 sends a command to the distributed DC power supply module to stop the AC / DC unit from operating.
[0059] S400 sends a given voltage value to the distributed DC power supply module. The given voltage value is higher than the current bus voltage value.
[0060] S500 obtains the battery discharge current and adjusts the given current limit value based on the discharge current.
[0061] The S600 detects the battery terminal voltage and discharge current when calibrating the capacity of parallel power supply components, and records the duration of the calibrated capacity.
[0062] S700: When the battery terminal voltage is lower than the preset minimum capacity voltage, the capacity verification ends.
[0063] S800: When the battery terminal voltage is normal and the capacity verification time is equal to the preset capacity verification time, the capacity verification ends.
[0064] Compared to traditional station DC power systems, distributed DC power systems fundamentally solve the inherent problem of a single battery failure affecting the entire battery pack. They also enable uninterrupted replacement of parallel power components, and allow for smooth and simple system expansion, significantly improving the safety, reliability, and flexibility of the DC power supply system. However, due to the limited widespread use of distributed DC power systems, research on online battery capacity assessment for this system is scarce. The method proposed in this invention addresses the implementation of online battery capacity assessment in distributed DC power systems.
[0065] The AC input of the distributed DC power module is converted into 220V or 110V DC power by the AC / DC conversion unit and the DC / DC conversion unit to supply power to the load. Simultaneously, the battery is charged via the charging DC / DC unit, and the battery voltage is boosted to the DC output via the discharging DC / DC unit, maintaining a hot backup state. In the event of AC power failure or battery capacity adjustment, the battery supplies power to the DC output load via the discharging DC / DC unit, ensuring uninterrupted power supply.
[0066] The DC monitoring component is responsible for receiving the status and information of the modules and batteries uploaded by the distributed DC power supply module, judging the status of the entire system, and performing online capacity discharge of the battery by issuing output voltage and current setpoints and capacity discharge commands to the distributed DC power supply module when the capacity conditions are met. It also ensures that the battery can be fully capacity-controlled by dynamically adjusting the output current setpoint.
[0067] Specifically, in step S200, the formula for calculating the output current limit value is as follows:
[0068]
[0069] Among them, U B I is the rated output voltage of the battery. 10 η is the battery discharge current value at a 10-hour rate, η is the module's conversion efficiency, and U is the DC bus voltage.
[0070] Further, in step S500, obtaining the battery's discharge current and adjusting the given current limit value based on the discharge current includes:
[0071] S510 obtains the battery discharge current.
[0072] S520: When the discharge current value is greater than the battery's 10h rate discharge current value, the given current limit value is reduced.
[0073] S530: When the discharge current value is less than the battery's 10-hour rate discharge current value, the given current limit value is increased.
[0074] Furthermore, before calculating the output current limiting value of the distributed DC power supply module of the parallel power supply components in step S200, the following steps are also included:
[0075] S110, determine whether the parallel power supply components meet the capacity requirements.
[0076] S120, if satisfied, then proceed with the step of calculating the output current limit value of the distributed DC power supply module of the parallel power supply components.
[0077] If S130 is not met, then the nuclear capacity will be terminated.
[0078] The above technical solution achieves online battery capacity verification through the cooperation of DC monitoring components, distributed DC power modules, and batteries, replacing the traditional battery maintenance and management mode that relies on external discharge instruments, thus saving a significant amount of manpower and resources.
