[0045] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are presented for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art should clearly understand that the present invention can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid unnecessary details from interfering with the description of the present invention.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will be described through specific embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Figure 1 and Figure 2 respectively show the schematic diagrams of the structures of the DC power supplies (including one slave power supply device) provided by the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 9 Shows the schematic diagram of the structure of another DC power supply (including multiple slave power supply devices) provided by the embodiments of the present invention. Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 , the DC power supply includes a DC bus connection device, a main power supply device, and at least one slave power supply device. The main power supply device includes a main rectifier cabinet, a main battery module, and a main monitoring unit; the slave power supply device includes a slave rectifier cabinet, a slave battery module, and a slave monitoring unit;

[0048] The DC output terminal of the main rectifier cabinet is connected to the main battery module; the DC output terminal of the slave rectifier cabinet is connected to the slave battery module, and the DC bus coupler device is connected between the DC output terminals of the main rectifier cabinet and the slave rectifier cabinet.

[0049] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 9 shown, the structures of all power supply devices are the same. In practical applications, any power supply device can be used as the main power supply device, and other power supply devices can be used as slave power supply devices. Specifically, the main power supply device further includes a main phase-shifting transformer and a main power distribution unit, and the slave power supply device further includes a slave phase-shifting transformer and a slave power distribution unit. Specifically, for the main power supply device, the commercial power is connected to the high-voltage side of the main phase-shifting transformer, the low-voltage side of the main phase-shifting transformer is connected to the AC terminal of the main rectifier cabinet, the DC output terminal of the main rectifier cabinet is respectively connected to the main battery module and the main power distribution unit, and the DC output terminals of the main rectifier cabinet and the slave rectifier cabinet are connected through the DC bus coupler device. The structural connection relationship of the slave power supply device is the same as that of the main power supply device and will not be elaborated here.

[0050] Among them, the DC bus coupler device includes a DC bus coupler device in the form of normally closed air switch and a DC bus coupler device in the form of normally closed fuse. As Figure 1 shown, the DC bus coupler device in the form of normally closed air switch includes an air switch K1, and the air switch is in the normally closed state. As Figure 2 shown, the DC bus coupler device in the form of normally closed fuse is a fuse PUSE.

[0051] In a possible embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the DC power supply further includes a first relay; both the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit include RS485 communication interfaces and CAN communication interfaces;

[0052] The main monitoring unit is communicatively connected to the main rectifier cabinet through its corresponding CAN communication interface, the slave monitoring unit is communicatively connected to the slave rectifier cabinet through its corresponding CAN communication interface, the RS485 communication interface of the main monitoring unit is connected to the RS485 communication interface of the slave monitoring unit; the CAN communication interface of the main monitoring unit is connected to the CAN communication interface of the slave monitoring unit through the first relay.

[0053] Specifically, both the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit are provided with 2 RS485 communication interfaces and one CAN communication interface, as Figure 3As shown, the RS485A communication interface is used to realize the information interaction between the touch screen and the monitoring unit, enabling the touch screen to display the parameter information of this power supply device and the bus-coupler status at the same time. The CAN communication interface is used to communicate with the rectifier module, and the RS485B communication interface is used to communicate with the monitoring unit of another power supply device.

[0054] Specifically, each power supply device corresponds to a touch screen, which is used to communicate with the corresponding monitoring unit via RS485A to display the following items: the on / off status of the DC bus-coupler device, the type of the DC bus-coupler device, the breaker switch status of the normally-closed breaker-type DC bus-coupler device, the opening and closing forms of the breaker switch of the DC bus-coupler device, the cabinet number of the power supply device, and the status information of the main power supply device and the slave power supply device of the DC bus-coupler. Among them, both the opening and closing forms of the breaker switch of the DC bus-coupler device include automatic and manual.

[0055] Specifically, the data communication between two power supply devices can use RS485 communication or CAN line communication. Since using CAN line communication will connect all the communication of the rectifier modules between two rectifier cabinets together, doubling the occupancy rate of the CAN bus and posing a risk of data loss. Therefore, in this embodiment, RS485 communication is preferred. Although the communication rate of the RS485B communication interface is relatively low, considering that the control of the battery current belongs to slow-loop control, RS485 communication can meet the control requirements.

[0056] During the task of data transmission between two power supply devices by the RS485B communication interface, the main monitoring unit sends data, including: the local status, the bus voltage of the bus-coupler section, the actual battery current, the preset equalizing charge current, the load current, the total current of the rectifier modules, the number of operating rectifier modules, the battery status, the system comprehensive fault bit, the AC status, the cabinet number of the slave power supply device, and the preset voltage value, a total of 12 data. The RS485B communication uses a baud rate of 9600, the length of the transmitted data is 29 bytes (24 data bytes), and the data transmission time is 30 ms. Therefore, the sending cycle of RS485B is set to once every 50 ms.

[0057] Specifically, the first relay is a normally-closed relay; the dry contact of the RS485 communication interface of the main monitoring unit is connected to one normally-closed contact of the first relay, and the dry contact of the RS485 communication interface of the slave monitoring unit is connected to the other normally-closed contact of the first relay. When the RS485 communication interface fails, the dry contact of the RS485 communication interface disconnects, and after the first relay is powered off and closes, the CAN communication interfaces of the main and slave monitoring units establish a communication connection.

[0058] When the above DC bus-coupler device is operating normally, the main power supply device and the slave power supply device are output-connected in series, and information exchange can be carried out between the main power supply device and the slave power supply device during operation. When any one of the municipal power supplies experiences an abnormal power outage, the other can directly supply power to the load through the bus-coupler section to ensure power supply continuity.

[0059] Specifically, for the main and slave power supply devices for bus-coupling, the winding angles of their phase-shifting transformers can be the same, or they can be stagger-connected in parallel to form a 72-pulse configuration. From the perspective of usage, the output ripple of the stagger-connected parallel 72-pulse configuration is smaller than that of the 36-pulse connection with the same angle. To ensure consistency in the structural form, fuse PUSE and current Hall sensor HL are configured in both the main and slave rectifier cabinets on the bus-coupler section. The current Hall sensor is used to collect the actual value of the bus-coupler current on the bus-coupler section and send it to the monitoring unit inside the cabinet.

[0060] Specifically, both the main rectifier cabinet and the slave rectifier cabinet include multiple rectifier modules, and the multiple rectifier modules are connected in parallel for output.

[0061] See Figure 4 , which shows the implementation flowchart of the control method for the DC power supply provided by the embodiment of the present invention. This control method is applied to the main monitoring unit and is described in detail as follows:

[0062] S101: Monitor whether the communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit fails.

[0063] In this embodiment, the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit respectively and real-time monitor whether the communication with the other party fails.

[0064] S102: If the communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit does not fail, switch the working mode to the master-slave control mode.

[0065] In this embodiment, if the main monitoring unit monitors that the communication with the slave monitoring unit does not fail, and the slave monitoring unit also monitors that the communication with the main monitoring unit does not fail, then both the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit switch the working mode to the master-slave control mode. In the master-slave control mode, the main monitoring unit is used to uniformly control the main power supply device and the slave power supply device, and the slave monitoring unit executes the commands of the main monitoring unit.

[0066] S103: In the master-slave control mode, calculate the preset voltage value for the current cycle based on the sum of the actual battery currents of the main battery module and the slave battery module in the current cycle; and control the output voltages of the main rectifier cabinet and the slave rectifier cabinet based on the preset voltage value for the current cycle.

[0067] In the master-slave control mode, the master monitoring unit controls the operation of the master rectifier cabinet and the slave rectifier cabinet. Specifically, when the system is running normally, the master monitoring unit periodically sends the self-status data of the main power supply device to the slave monitoring unit. After receiving the status data of the master monitoring unit, the slave monitoring unit sends its own data to the master monitoring unit.

[0068] In this embodiment, the control period of a single power supply device can be 10 ms. If the main power supply device uses communication to collect the current data of the slave power supply device and then performs control, the 10-ms control period is relatively fast, which may cause data asynchronization. Considering that the battery current management belongs to slow-loop control, the control period in this embodiment can be changed to 100 ms.

[0069] Specifically, the master monitoring unit collects the actual battery current of the main battery module through a Hall current sensor. The slave monitoring unit collects the actual battery current of the slave battery module through a Hall current sensor and sends the actual battery current of the slave battery module to the master monitoring unit.

[0070] In this embodiment, Figure 7 shows the control block diagram in the master-slave control mode provided by this embodiment, as Figure 7 shown. After obtaining the actual battery current of the main battery module and the actual battery current of the slave battery module, add the actual battery current of the main battery module in the current period to the actual battery current of the slave battery module to obtain the sum of the actual battery currents I bat_fb_t , subtract the sum of the preset equalizing charging currents I bat_ret_t in the current period from the sum of the actual battery currents I bat_fb_t to obtain the difference between the two, and input the difference into the first PI controller to obtain the first voltage value; subtract the first voltage value in the current period from the preset voltage value in the previous period to obtain the preset voltage value U ret in the current period.

[0071] In a possible embodiment, after obtaining the first voltage value, the specific implementation process of determining the preset voltage value based on the first voltage value may further include:

[0072] If the actual battery current of the main battery module in the current period is greater than the preset equalizing charging current, or the actual battery current of the slave battery module in the current period is greater than the preset equalizing charging current, then use the actual battery current greater than the preset equalizing charging current as the first actual battery current, and calculate the difference between the first actual battery current and the preset equalizing charging current to obtain the single-group current difference;

[0073] Perform PI calculation on the single-group current difference to obtain the compensation voltage;

[0074] Subtract the first voltage value and the compensation voltage of the current cycle from the preset voltage value of the previous cycle respectively to obtain the preset voltage value of the current cycle.

[0075] In this embodiment, since the method provided in this embodiment regards the main battery module and the slave battery module as a whole, when the battery capacity difference between the main and slave battery modules is large, there will be a situation where the charging current of a single group of batteries is relatively high. Therefore, this embodiment can add the above-mentioned current limiting logic for a single group of batteries to avoid the situation where the charging current of a single group of batteries is relatively high.

[0076] S104: If the communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit fails, switch the working mode to the independent control mode.

[0077] S105: In the independent control mode, calculate the difference between the actual battery current of the main battery module and the equalizing charge current set value to obtain the battery current difference; based on the battery current difference and the actual value of the busbar connection current of the current cycle, calculate the preset voltage value of the current cycle, and control the output voltage of the main rectifier cabinet based on the preset voltage value of the current cycle.

[0078] In this embodiment, if the main monitoring unit detects that the communication with the slave monitoring unit fails, it will switch its own working mode to the independent control mode. At the same time, if the slave monitoring unit detects that the communication with the main monitoring unit fails, it will switch its own working mode to the independent control mode. In the independent control mode, the slave monitoring unit also controls the slave power supply device according to the control logic of S105. Since each monitoring unit performs independent control, there is no longer a distinction between the main and slave among the power supply devices in the independent control mode.

[0079] In a possible embodiment, the specific implementation process of S105 includes:

[0080] S201: Calculate the difference between the actual battery current and the equalizing charge current set value to obtain the battery current difference;

[0081] S202: Determine whether the actual value of the busbar connection current meets the preset conditions;

[0082] S203: If the actual value of the busbar connection current meets the preset conditions, calculate the busbar connection reference value of the current cycle based on the actual value of the busbar connection current;

[0083] S204: Based on the battery current difference and the busbar connection reference value of the current cycle, calculate the preset voltage value of the current cycle.

[0084] In a possible embodiment, the specific implementation process of S204 includes:

[0085] Input the battery current difference into the second PI controller to obtain the second voltage value of the current cycle;

[0086] Subtract the second voltage value of the current cycle from the preset voltage value of the previous cycle to obtain a preset voltage difference;

[0087] Add the preset voltage difference to the bus tie reference value to obtain the preset voltage value of the current cycle.

[0088] Specifically, Figure 8 The control block diagram in the independent control mode provided by this embodiment is shown. As Figure 8 shown, this embodiment uses the equalizing charge current set value I bat_ret minus the actual battery current I bat_fb of the current cycle to obtain the battery current difference of the current cycle, and then input the battery current difference into the second PI controller to obtain the second voltage value of the current cycle.

[0089] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, the preset condition is that the absolute value of the actual bus tie current I bus_fb is greater than the preset current value I bus_H . If the actual bus tie current satisfies the preset condition, subtract the actual bus tie current I bus_ret from the bus tie current set value I bus_fb to obtain the bus tie current difference of the current cycle; input the bus tie current difference into the third PI controller to obtain the bus tie reference value of the current cycle. If the actual bus tie current does not satisfy the preset condition, set the bus tie reference value to zero.

[0090] After obtaining the bus tie reference value, subtract the second voltage value of the current cycle from the preset voltage value of the previous cycle to obtain a preset voltage difference; add the preset voltage difference to the bus tie reference value to obtain the preset voltage value U ret .

[0091] Through the above method, this embodiment can determine the working mode of the monitoring unit based on the communication situation of the two power supply devices. In the master-slave control mode, the master monitoring unit controls the master and slave power supply devices. Even if the mains power of one power supply device is cut off, the master monitoring unit can still obtain the battery current of this power supply device to achieve the control of the total battery current of the two-cabinet power supply device, thereby avoiding the problem of system out-of-control caused by the mains power failure of one circuit; in the independent control mode, when the bus tie section current does not satisfy the preset condition, the control of the bus bar current can be supplemented on the basis of the equalizing charge logic, so as to ensure that the bus tie section current is zero and avoid the problem of overcurrent of the battery current, thereby avoiding the problem of system out-of-control caused by the communication failure between the two cabinets.

[0092] In a possible embodiment, the specific implementation process of S101 includes:

[0093] If the RS485 communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit fails, control the first relay to switch from the open state to the closed state, so that the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit are connected through CAN communication;

[0094] If a CAN communication connection is established between the main monitoring unit and the main rectifier cabinet, no CAN communication connection is established between the main monitoring unit and the slave rectifier cabinet, and no CAN communication connection is established between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit, it is determined that the communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit fails;

[0095] If a CAN communication connection is established between the main monitoring unit and the main rectifier cabinet, no CAN communication connection is established between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit, and a communication connection is established between the main monitoring unit and the slave rectifier cabinet, it is determined that the communication between the slave monitoring unit and the slave rectifier cabinet fails.

[0096] In this embodiment, the communication failure modes of the DC power supply include the following:

[0097] 1. The RS485 communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit fails.

[0098] 2. The CAN communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit fails.

[0099] 3. The CAN communication between the main monitoring unit and the main rectifier cabinet fails.

[0100] 4. The CAN communication between the slave monitoring unit and the slave rectifier cabinet fails.

[0101] 5. The CAN communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave rectifier cabinet fails.

[0102] 6. The CAN communication between the slave monitoring unit and the main rectifier cabinet fails.

[0103] Specifically, for the above several communication failure modes, if the RS485 communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit fails, control the first relay to close, so that the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit are connected through CAN communication.

[0104] If a CAN communication connection has been established between the main monitoring unit and the main rectifier cabinet, the CAN communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit fails, and the CAN communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave rectifier cabinet fails, it is determined that the communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit fails, and the main monitoring unit switches to the independent control mode; at this time, if the slave monitoring unit detects that the CAN communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit fails, the CAN communication between the slave monitoring unit and the slave rectifier cabinet is normally connected, and the CAN communication between the slave monitoring unit and the main rectifier cabinet fails, it is determined that the communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit fails, and the slave monitoring unit switches its working mode to the independent control mode. If the slave rectifier cabinet has not established a communication connection with both the slave monitoring unit and the main monitoring unit, the slave rectifier cabinet operates in a monitoring failure state, and the slave rectifier cabinet controls its output voltage based on a preset monitoring failure voltage. At this time, if the main monitoring unit operates in the independent control mode, the main monitoring unit controls the output voltage of the main rectifier cabinet based on the Figure 8 control logic in it. The control logic can ensure that the voltage of the bus tie section approaches zero. Therefore, the voltage output by the main rectifier cabinet in the independent control mode is also close to the monitoring failure voltage, thus ensuring the stable operation of the entire DC power supply system.

[0105] If the main monitoring unit detects that a CAN communication connection has been established between the main monitoring unit and the main rectifier cabinet, no RS485 communication connection or CAN communication connection has been established between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit, and a communication connection has been established between the main monitoring unit and the slave rectifier cabinet. It is determined that the communication between the slave monitoring unit and the slave rectifier cabinet fails, then the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit operate in the master-slave control mode. The main monitoring unit controls the operation of the main power supply device and the slave power supply device. And because the slave monitoring unit cannot communicate with the slave rectifier cabinet, after obtaining the preset voltage value, the main monitoring unit directly sends the preset voltage value to the slave rectifier cabinet through CAN communication, and other information is still received and sent by the slave monitoring unit.

[0106] If the main monitoring unit detects that no CAN communication connection has been established between the main monitoring unit and the main rectifier cabinet, while a communication connection has been established between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit, the main monitoring unit sends this information to the slave monitoring unit. The slave monitoring unit detects that no CAN communication connection has been established between the main monitoring unit and the main rectifier cabinet, and a communication connection has been established between the slave monitoring unit and the main rectifier cabinet, and a communication connection has been established between the slave monitoring unit and the slave rectifier cabinet. It is determined that the communication between the main monitoring unit and the main rectifier cabinet fails. At this time, the slave monitoring unit acts as the main monitoring unit and operates in the master-slave control mode to uniformly control the operation of the main power supply device and the slave power supply device. And because the main monitoring unit cannot communicate with the main rectifier cabinet, after obtaining the preset voltage value, the slave monitoring unit directly sends the preset voltage value to the main rectifier cabinet through CAN communication.

[0107] In a possible embodiment, the method further includes:

[0108] If the communication between the slave monitoring unit and the slave rectifier cabinet fails, the working mode is switched to the master-slave control mode, and in the master-slave control mode, the output voltage of the master rectifier cabinet and the output voltage of the slave rectifier cabinet are controlled based on the preset voltage value of the current cycle, including:

[0109] Sending the preset voltage value to the main rectifier cabinet so that the main rectifier cabinet controls the output voltage based on the preset voltage value;

[0110] The preset voltage value is sent to the slave rectifier cabinet so that the slave rectifier cabinet controls the output voltage based on the preset voltage value.

[0111] In this embodiment, when the data transmission of the master-slave monitoring unit is switched to CAN communication, the execution cycle is 10ms, and data is still sent periodically. At this time, the CAN line will connect all the rectifier modules of the two rectifier cabinets and the master-slave monitoring units together. Once switched to CAN communication, the master monitoring unit sends the preset voltage value to the slave rectifier cabinet, and other information is still sent and received by the monitoring units of each power supply device.

[0112] Since the preset voltage values ​​received by each rectifier module are sent by the main monitoring unit when CAN communication is adopted, the main monitoring unit cannot distinguish between the main rectifier cabinet and the slave rectifier cabinet. This embodiment can distinguish the rectifier modules of the two power supply devices by adding cabinet numbers. Specifically, the rectifier module of the main power supply device is not marked with the cabinet number, and the rectifier module of the slave power supply device is marked with the cabinet number. In this way, when the monitoring unit sends information such as the preset voltage value to the rectifier module, the cabinet number is marked on the sent information; the rectifier module with a cabinet number only processes the information with the same cabinet number, and the rectifier module without a cabinet number processes the information without a cabinet number. In this way, the current equalization in the cabinet is achieved.

[0113] Furthermore, the cabinet number stored inside the rectifier module can be configured on-site when the system is powered on for the first time. After a power supply device is set as a slave power supply device, the slave monitoring unit corresponding to the slave power supply device sends the cabinet number to all rectifier modules in its slave rectifier cabinet, and at the same time queries the cabinet numbers of all rectifier modules in its slave rectifier cabinet. After determining that the cabinet number is correct, the cabinet number is manually solidified. After solidification, the slave monitoring unit only processes and displays the rectifier module information with the cabinet number. The rectifier module with incorrect cabinet number is determined to be offline. The master monitoring unit only processes and displays the rectifier module information without cabinet number. In this way, the independence of the display information of the master and slave rectifier cabinets is achieved.

[0114] In a possible implementation manner of the present invention, if the monitoring unit detects that the Hall current sensor fails, the actual battery current cannot be accurately obtained. At this time, to prevent the system from being in an out-of-control state, the preset voltage value of the power supply device with the failed Hall current sensor is directly set to the monitoring failure voltage.

[0115] In an embodiment of the present application, the main monitoring unit can adjust the preset voltage value of the main rectifier cabinet every preset time period to determine whether there is current flowing through the bus tie section. If there is no current flowing through the bus tie section, it is determined that the bus tie section fuse is blown. Once the bus tie fuse is blown, the system switches to the control logic of independent equal charging of the two cabinets.

[0116] In an embodiment of the present application, if the monitoring unit of a certain power supply device fails, the normally operating monitoring unit can be used as the main monitoring unit. The main monitoring unit directly communicates with the rectifier cabinet in the voltage device with the failed monitoring unit through CAN communication to achieve the control of the power supply device with the failed monitoring unit.

[0117] In a possible embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a DC power supply. The method is applied to the slave monitoring unit and includes:

[0118] Monitoring whether the communication between the slave monitoring unit and the main monitoring unit fails;

[0119] If the communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit does not fail, switch the working mode to the master-slave control mode;

[0120] In the master-slave control mode, send the actual battery current of the slave battery module to the main monitoring unit so that the main monitoring unit calculates the preset voltage value according to the actual battery current of the slave battery module; obtain the preset voltage value, and control the output voltage of the slave rectifier cabinet based on the preset voltage value;

[0121] If the communication between the main monitoring unit and the slave monitoring unit fails, switch the working mode to the independent control mode;

[0122] In the independent control mode, calculate the difference between the actual battery current of the slave battery module and the equal charging current set value to obtain the battery current difference; obtain the actual value of the bus tie current of the bus tie section between the two rectifier cabinets in the current cycle, and calculate the preset voltage value of the current cycle based on the battery current difference and the actual value of the bus tie current of the current cycle, and control the output voltage of the slave rectifier cabinet based on the preset voltage value of the current cycle.

[0123] Specifically, the slave monitoring unit is used to accept the unified control of the master monitoring unit in the master-slave control mode. Its main functions are data transceiver and communication monitoring. The specific control logic of the slave monitoring unit in the independent control mode is as Figure 8 shown.

[0124] Through the above solution, this embodiment can control the DC power supply to operate in different working modes under different communication conditions, thereby ensuring the stable and normal operation of the DC power supply and avoiding system out-of-control caused by communication failure.
