Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of smart grids, and in particular relates to a wind, solar, and water storage multi-energy complementary power supply system and an operation method for a semi-submersible ocean platform. Background Art

[0002] As the scale of marine development and construction continues to expand, the electricity load of offshore platforms is gradually increasing, and the method of using gas power supply alone will be difficult to meet the electricity demand.

[0003] Unlike onshore structures and environments, offshore semi-submersible platforms are typically isolated island systems. Connecting them to the grid and utilizing energy sources can save fuel and reduce operating costs. However, the inherent randomness and volatility of the load power of offshore semi-submersible platforms make the introduction of alternative energy sources challenging to control. Furthermore, a single energy source can suffer from drawbacks such as insufficient conversion efficiency, unstable power output, and low utilization. For large offshore structures, abundant reserves of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and wave power are available. Wind and solar are the two most representative renewable energy sources. Faced with an energy crisis, countries are actively promoting the use of wind turbines and photovoltaic generators to convert wind and solar energy into electricity. With the rapid advancement of science and technology, wind power generation technology has been able to maximize wind energy capture by adjusting the pitch and power speed of the generator set. The photovoltaic industry has also achieved mass production and deployment of third-generation perovskite solar panels, significantly reducing costs while increasing power generation and quality. Wave energy is one of the main forms of ocean energy. In the deep ocean far away from the coastline, waves can generate enormous energy. If the kinetic energy of waves and other water waves can be converted into mechanical energy to drive the rotation of impellers, and then converted into other energy sources such as electricity, it can effectively alleviate the energy shortage problem and reduce environmental pollution during ultra-long-distance energy transmission. It is a good technical route.

[0004] Making full use of abandoned wind and solar power at sea and waves, combined with new energy power generation technologies, is of great significance to protecting the marine ecological environment, reducing the operating costs of marine platforms, and promoting the sustainable development of my country's environment.

[0005] On the other hand, AC / DC hybrid microgrids are a crucial component of future smart grids. Various distributed power sources, energy storage devices, and loads are flexibly allocated to the AC / DC microgrid based on their respective output characteristics. A multi-energy complementary microgrid integrates multiple energy sources through the power grid. Currently, traditional electricity / heat / cooling load distribution methods cannot achieve efficient and clean energy utilization. Therefore, consideration is being given to combining electricity / heat / cooling multi-energy complementary technologies with the rational allocation of various energy supply devices. A multi-energy complementary microgrid power generation system goes beyond simply combining solar, wind, gas or oil generators, and hydroelectric generators into a single microgrid for power generation. It integrates multiple energy sources to overcome the limitations of a single energy source on a semi-submersible offshore platform. This maximizes the use of renewable energy while increasing power generation and stabilizing power generation.

[0006] Traditional power transmission causes excessive energy supply losses for near- and far-sea semi-submersible platforms, which has an impact on the environment; the power grid of semi-submersible offshore platforms does not make sufficient use of offshore energy, resulting in low utilization efficiency and single energy source utilization; the single clean energy structure of offshore platforms has disadvantages such as insufficient conversion efficiency and unstable power output.

[0052] Figure 2 It is a functional block diagram of an energy storage module according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] Figure 3 is a flow chart of an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0055] See also Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention includes a wave energy power generation device, a flexible solar photovoltaic power generation device, a combined vertical axis wind turbine power generation device, an integrated control box, a BMS intelligent management module, an energy storage module, a BMS management module and a load module.

[0056] The wave energy power generation device and the combined vertical axis wind turbine power generation device are directly connected to their respective corresponding AC / DC inverters, the AC / DC inverter is further connected to the DC / DC inverter, and the flexible solar photovoltaic power generation device is directly connected to the DC / DC inverter. The three power generation devices are combined in parallel and connected to the integrated control box, which is connected to the energy storage module and the load module.

[0057] In this embodiment, the wave energy power generation device uses eight oscillating float power generation devices arranged in an array around a semi-submersible offshore platform. Each wave energy power generation device is equipped with multiple energy-harvesting floats. Leveraging the advantages of the semi-submersible offshore platform as a large-scale marine structure, it absorbs energy at multiple points, maximizing the efficiency of wave energy utilization. The floats transmit mechanical energy to a coaxial generator to generate electricity.

[0058] The combined vertical axis wind turbine power generation device uses eight units arranged axially symmetrically on the top of a semi-submersible offshore platform. The S-shaped vertical axis wind turbine in the upper half of the combined wind turbine provides starting torque, and the H-shaped vertical axis wind turbine in the lower half achieves efficient power generation. Wind from any direction can drive the blades to rotate, and the captured wind energy is transmitted by rotating the wind wheel with a accumulator. It can smooth unstable wind energy in complex situations and stabilize the circuit system within the system.

[0059] The flexible solar photovoltaic power generation device uses a new type of photosynthetic silicon energy 36V300W single crystal semi-flexible solar panel. This solar panel has the advantages of flexibility, high power generation efficiency and light weight. It is more suitable for deployment on the surface of a semi-submersible marine platform, and can reduce obstacles, collect solar energy over the largest area, and improve the energy utilization efficiency of photovoltaic power generation.

[0060] One of the energy storage module devices is a 48V 200Ah lithium battery pack, which uses group management to solve the problem of excessive charging and discharging and reduce the number of charge and discharge times. The battery supplies power to AC loads through inverter or directly supplies power to DC loads. The entire battery storage part achieves the purpose of energy buffering.

[0061] Lithium batteries are used to store electricity generated by several power generation devices. When there is insufficient energy at sea and the lithium battery pack has sufficient power, the excess power after the battery pack is fully charged can not only supply power to the load, but also transmit electricity to the power grid.

[0062] The load is the life operation system of the entire platform. After the electric energy is distributed by the integrated control box, it is transmitted to various construction operation structures and life circuits.

[0063] The integrated control box is electrically connected to the load via a bidirectional inverter.

[0064] A charge and discharge control module is provided in the integrated control box.

[0065] The integrated control box can collect external and internal information, including meteorological information, water resource information, load power consumption information, energy storage module power information, inverter electrical information, relay opening and closing information, etc. After processing and analyzing the data, a reasonable control strategy is used to achieve coordinated control of the power supply within the system, maximize energy utilization efficiency, avoid frequent charging and discharging of battery energy storage modules and over-discharge conditions, extend service life, and improve the economy of the microgrid system.

[0066] The integrated control box is connected to a display screen to monitor power generation energy data in real time.

[0067] The integrated control box can cope with large power load fluctuations, maintain system stability, ensure that the DC bus output voltage deviation is less than ±10%, and ensure energy balance between the power generation device, energy storage module and load, and stable output voltage and frequency.

[0068] The output voltage of the wave energy power generation device, flexible solar photovoltaic power generation device, and combined vertical axis wind turbine power generation device is stabilized, regulated, and subjected to constant current processing by the AC / DC and DC / DC inverters and the three-phase rectifier inside the integrated control box. The output is a stable voltage, which is used to charge the energy storage module through the integrated control box. When necessary, the three power generation devices can be converted into electricity of suitable load through the integrated control box to supply power to the load.

[0069] Refer to the attached Figure 2 The energy storage module is also electrically connected to an intelligent battery management module (BMS), which can monitor the status of the energy storage module while performing charge and discharge protection on the energy storage module. A charge and discharge control module is provided in the integrated control box. After the charge and discharge control module is connected to the intelligent battery management module, it controls the charge and discharge of the energy storage module. The control strategy of the energy storage module uses the energy storage terminal voltage as the main reference parameter to control the energy storage module to select one of the charging mode, idle mode, and discharge mode. During the process, the energy storage module status is monitored at any time, and the charging voltage and current are adjusted in real time. When the energy storage module power reaches the set upper limit, the intelligent battery management module stops charging according to the received feedback signal; if the semi-submersible marine platform needs to start the operating system at a certain moment, the power of the energy storage module is converted into suitable AC power for the load through the inverter.

[0070] The energy storage module's charge and discharge control strategy can prevent undercharging and deep discharge. When the charging current of the energy storage module is too high, the unloading circuit current limit protection is activated. To prevent overvoltage during charging, an input overvoltage protection limit is set. To prevent deep discharge of the energy storage module, the battery terminal voltage and current are detected to determine whether to activate power-off protection.

[0071] The intelligent battery management module has basic functions such as electrical equipment control, data information collection and processing, voltage and current monitoring and feedback, fault warning, database management, and human-computer interaction. It maintains the stable operation of the microgrid, improves the energy utilization efficiency of the power supply in the microgrid, and ensures the quality of the microgrid's output power.

[0072] The energy storage module is electrically connected to the load through a DC / AC inverter. The energy storage module is connected to the grid to transmit electricity. After passing through the DC / AC inverter and phase-locked frequency conversion, the DC electricity is converted into AC electricity that meets the grid requirements. After being connected to the electricity meter to measure the power consumption, the electricity is connected to the grid for transmission.

[0073] The output ends of the wave energy power generation device, the flexible solar photovoltaic power generation device, and the combined vertical axis wind turbine power generation device are respectively provided with relay switches. After the output end of the power generation device is connected to the relay switch, it is connected to the control box through the inverter; the control box and the energy storage battery pack are connected to the charge and discharge management intelligent system to manage and protect the charge and discharge of the energy storage battery pack. When the amount of electricity generated by the power generation device is large enough and exceeds the threshold of the relay coil, the integrated control box feeds back the relay switch to temporarily interrupt or slow down the operation of part of the power generation device.

[0074] The control box can use a chip processor with an integrated management system and an external touch screen to observe and manage power generation energy data in real time.

[0075] See also Figure 3 The wind, solar, water and storage multi-energy complementary microgrid system of the present invention has the ability to cope with the unpredictable climate and day and night changes at sea. When the marine platform is operating at sea, it may encounter four main weather conditions: sunny with wind, sunny without wind, cloudy with wind, and cloudy with rain without wind. At night, it may encounter cloudy with wind and cloudy with rain without wind. The definition of sunny is the minimum light intensity that can make the solar panels work normally to produce stable electricity; windy is defined as the minimum wind force that can make the wind turbine generator set operate effectively and output stable electricity. It is assumed that the wave energy is sufficient under windy conditions. The following will be combined with the attached Figure 3 The principle that the microgrid system of the present invention is affected by weather and each power generation device is regulated by the integrated control box is elaborated in detail.

[0076] When the weather is clear and windy, the three power generation devices are in full power operation. The relays of the three main power generation devices are closed, and the AC power output by the wave energy power generation device and the combined vertical axis wind turbine power generation device is rectified by AC / DC, and then input into the integrated control box after DC / DC voltage regulation with the flexible solar photovoltaic power generation device. The controller is connected to the energy storage module and the load respectively. When the energy storage module is short of power, the relay switch connected to the energy storage module is closed to charge the energy storage module. When the lithium battery pack has sufficient power, the connected relay is disconnected. When the load module of the semi-submersible marine platform consumes too much power and direct power generation cannot supply sufficient power, the power output by the energy storage module is subjected to DC / AC voltage regulation, voltage stabilization, and inversion to provide AC power to the load.

[0077] When the weather is clear and windless, the power generation device is in half-power operation state, mainly relying on the closure of the relay connected to the photovoltaic power generation system to charge the energy storage module or power the load, and ensure that the energy storage module has sufficient power.

[0078] When the weather is cloudy, rainy and windy, the relay connected to the photovoltaic power generation system is disconnected, and the wave energy power generation device and the combined vertical axis wind turbine power generation device jointly supply power to ensure that the energy storage module is fully charged. After the two power generation devices are regulated and inverted through AC / DC and DC / DC, the power generation devices are coordinated by the integrated control box to provide AC power to the load.

[0079] During rainy, windless weather, the relays for all three generators can be disconnected, the flexible blades of the combined vertical axis wind turbine generator retracted, and the power generation system is nearly stopped. At this point, the energy storage module can be used to provide AC power to the load while ensuring the normal power supply of the semi-submersible offshore platform. If the energy storage module is also in the feeding state, the relay for the wave power generator is closed to power the semi-submersible offshore platform's basic communication equipment.

[0080] Taking into account the complementary characteristics between power generation devices, the combined vertical axis wind turbine power generation device and the photovoltaic power generation device are intermittent, and the wave energy power generation continuity is relatively better. Therefore, the microgrid uses the wave energy power source as the main output power source, and on this basis, the deployment strategy of the integrated control box is used to maximize the use of contraction control of the wind turbine power generation device and the photovoltaic power generation device.

[0081] The DC / AC inverter connected to the energy storage module is an AC / DC bidirectional inverter device that converts DC power or DC power output from the energy storage battery pack into AC power suitable for the load. The converted AC voltage is then converted to high voltage through a transformer and transmitted to the high-voltage grid. This DC / AC inverter conversion is based on the grid's transmission voltage and current requirements, ensuring safe and stable power transmission to the grid. Depending on the load-side voltage requirements, it can adapt to 220V / 380V or other voltages to protect parallel microgrids from impacts.
