[0036] In the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and techniques are provided for purposes of illustration, not limitation, to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, specific embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The schematic diagrams of the structure of the DC power supply provided by the embodiment of the present invention respectively show two power supply devices. Figure 8 The structure diagram of a DC power supply provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown, in which multiple power supply devices are connected via a DC bus coupling device. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 8 , the DC power supply includes: a DC busbar device and at least two power supply devices, the power supply device includes a rectifier cabinet, a battery module and a monitoring unit;

[0039] The DC output end of each rectifier cabinet is connected to the corresponding battery module, and the DC bus coupling device is connected between the DC output ends of at least two rectifier cabinets.

[0040] like Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, the power supply device also includes a phase-shifting transformer and a power distribution unit. Specifically, the mains power is connected to the high-voltage side of the phase-shifting transformer, the low-voltage side of the phase-shifting transformer is connected to the AC side of the rectifier cabinet, and the DC output of the rectifier cabinet is connected to the battery module and the power distribution unit respectively. At least two rectifier cabinets are connected via a DC busbar.

[0041] Among them, the DC bus coupling device includes a DC bus coupling device of the circuit breaker normally closed type and a DC bus coupling device of the fuse normally closed type. Figure 1 As shown, the DC bus coupling device of the circuit breaker normally closed type includes a circuit breaker switch K1, which is in a normally closed state. Figure 2 As shown, the DC bus coupling device in the normally closed fuse form is the fuse PUSE.

[0042] When the above-mentioned DC bus coupling device is operating normally, at least two power supply devices are output-coupled, and at least two power supply devices can exchange information during operation. When any one of the mains power lines is abnormally cut off, the other line can directly achieve power supply continuity for the load through the bus coupling section.

[0043] Specifically, the winding angles of the phase-shifting transformers of the at least two power supply units interconnected can be aligned, or they can be staggered in parallel to form 72 pulses. From a practical perspective, the 72-pulse staggered parallel connection produces less output ripple than the 36-pulse connection with the same angle. To ensure structural consistency, at least two rectifier cabinets are equipped with fuses PUSE and current Hall effect sensors HL in the bus-coupler section. The current Hall effect sensors are used to collect the actual bus-coupler current value in the bus-coupler section and transmit it to the monitoring unit within the cabinet.

[0044] Specifically, each rectifier cabinet includes multiple rectifier modules, and the multiple rectifier modules are connected in parallel for output.

[0045] In this embodiment, a DC bus coupler device with a larger line resistance can be selected. The larger the line resistance, the smaller the current of the DC bus coupler section, and the smaller the mutual influence between the cabinets.

[0046] See also Figure 3 , which shows a flowchart of an independent control method for a DC power supply provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The control method is applied to the monitoring unit in the above-mentioned DC power supply, and is described in detail as follows:

[0047] S101: Acquire the actual battery current of the battery module corresponding to the current power supply device in the current cycle.

[0048] In this embodiment, each monitoring unit is used to independently control its corresponding power supply device.

[0049] First, for each monitoring unit, the monitoring unit collects the actual battery current in the power supply device through a Hall current sensor.

[0050] S102: Calculate the difference between the actual battery current and the equalization current setting value to obtain a battery current difference.

[0051] In this embodiment, each monitoring device is preset with a setting value of the equalization charging current of the power supply device, which is used to control the battery modules in the power supply device using equalization charging logic.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The independent control block diagram of the DC power supply provided in this embodiment is shown. bat_ret Subtract the actual battery current I bat_fb , get the battery current difference of the current cycle.

[0053] S103: Obtain an actual value of a bus-coupling current of a bus-coupling section between at least two rectifier cabinets in a current cycle, and determine whether the actual value of the bus-coupling current meets a preset condition.

[0054] In this embodiment, when each power supply device is independently controlled using the equalization logic, if the battery capacity corresponding to each power supply device is consistent, the battery module can still correctly execute the equalization logic even if the load amount is inconsistent. However, when the battery capacity is inconsistent, a capacity difference of 2% will cause the rectifier cabinet with a lower capacity to not output. The reason is that its charging current is provided by the rectifier cabinet of another power supply device, and the charging current exceeds the equalization current, resulting in the voltage of this power supply device being reduced when controlled according to the equalization logic, and eventually reduced to the lowest point of the set voltage of 220V.

[0055] When the actual system is running, there must be a gap in the battery capacity of the two power supply devices, so it is not feasible to use the logic of independent equalization control of the two power supply devices. This embodiment takes into account the reason why the above control does not work is that the two power supply devices each have only one equalization current setting value as the control target, and this control target will affect the control of the other power supply device. On this basis, because there is a DC interaction of the bus section between the two cabinets, this embodiment can add the current of the bus section to the control loop, correct the loop, increase the control of the bus current, ensure that the bus current does not exceed the limit, and the bus section voltage approaches zero.

[0056] In one possible embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the preset condition is the actual value of the busbar current I bus_fb The absolute value is greater than the preset current value I bus_H .

[0057] Specifically, if the actual value of the busbar current I bus_fb The absolute value is greater than the preset current value I bus_H , indicating that the busbar current exceeds the limit, so it is necessary to add the busbar current control to the equalizing charge control logic.

[0058] S104: If the actual value of the bus coupling current meets a preset condition, a bus coupling reference value of the current cycle is calculated based on the actual value of the bus coupling current.

[0059] S105: Calculate a preset voltage value for the current cycle based on the battery current difference and the bus tie reference value for the current cycle, and control the output voltage of the rectifier cabinet corresponding to the current power supply device based on the preset voltage value for the current cycle.

[0060] In this embodiment, after the preset voltage value of the current cycle is calculated, the preset voltage value is sent to the rectifier module corresponding to the power supply device, so that the rectifier module controls its output voltage based on the preset voltage value.

[0061] It can be seen from the above embodiments that when the busbar current does not meet the preset conditions, this embodiment can supplement the busbar current control based on the equalization logic, thereby ensuring that the busbar current is zero and avoiding the battery current overcurrent problem.

[0062] In one possible embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the specific implementation process of S104 includes:

[0063] Set the busbar current to I bus_ret Subtract the actual value of the busbar current I bus_fb , get the busbar current difference of the current cycle;

[0064] The bus coupling current difference is input into a first PI controller to obtain a bus coupling reference value of the current cycle.

[0065] Specifically, in this step, since the current flow direction of the bus-link section is different under different circumstances, this embodiment can only pre-store the numerical value of the bus-link current setting value in the monitoring unit. When it is determined that the actual value of the bus-link current meets the preset conditions, the current sign of the actual value of the bus-link current is obtained, and the current sign of the actual value of the bus-link current is used as the sign of the bus-link current setting value, that is, the numerical value of the bus-link current setting value is multiplied by the current sign of the actual value of the bus-link current to obtain the bus-link current setting value, and then the actual value of the bus-link current is subtracted from the bus-link current setting value to obtain the bus-link current difference, and the bus-link current difference is input into the first PI controller to obtain the bus-link reference value.

[0066] In one possible embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, after S103, the method provided in this embodiment further includes:

[0067] If the actual value of the busbar current I bus_fb If the preset condition is not met, the bus tie reference value is set to zero.

[0068] In this embodiment, if the actual value of the busbar current I bus_fb The absolute value is not greater than the preset current value I bus_H , indicating that the difference in battery capacity between the two power supply devices is not large, so there is no need to consider the bus tie current and the bus tie reference value is set to zero.

[0069] In one possible embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the specific implementation process of S105 includes:

[0070] Inputting the battery current difference of the current cycle into a second PI controller to obtain a first voltage value of the current cycle;

[0071] Subtracting the first voltage value of the current cycle from the preset voltage value of the previous cycle to obtain a preset voltage difference;

[0072] Add the preset voltage difference to the bus reference value to obtain the preset voltage value U of the current cycle. ret .

[0073] In a possible embodiment, after obtaining the preset voltage value of the current cycle, the method provided by this embodiment further includes:

[0074] Limit the preset voltage value of the current cycle.

[0075] In a possible embodiment, the independent control method of the DC power supply provided in this embodiment further includes:

[0076] If a power-off signal of another power supply device is detected, it is determined whether the actual battery current of the current cycle is greater than the lower limit of the equalization current. If the actual battery current of the current cycle is greater than the lower limit of the equalization current, the set value of the equalization current is maintained unchanged;

[0077] If the actual battery current of the current cycle is less than or equal to the equalization current lower limit, the actual battery current of the current cycle is used as the equalization current setting value;

[0078] Calculate the difference between the actual battery current and the equalization current setting value to obtain the battery current difference, calculate the preset voltage value of the current cycle based on the battery current difference of the current cycle, and control the output voltage of the rectifier cabinet corresponding to the current power supply device based on the preset voltage value of the current cycle.

[0079] In this embodiment, the present application can add a dry contact for mains power failure to each power supply device. The monitoring unit of one power supply device collects the dry contact signal of the mains power failure of another power supply device. If the power supply device detects the mains power failure signal of the other power supply device, it will no longer execute the independent control logic of S101 to S105, but will switch to the equalization control logic of a single power supply device. In addition, in the process of executing the equalization control logic of a single power supply device, if the actual battery current of the current cycle is greater than the lower limit of the equalization current, the current equalization current setting value is maintained unchanged; if the actual battery current of the current cycle is less than or equal to the lower limit of the equalization current, the actual battery current of the current cycle is used as the equalization current setting value, and the equalization current setting value is maintained unchanged, and the preset voltage value of the subsequent cycle is calculated until the actual battery current is greater than the lower limit of the equalization current.

[0080] After determining the equalization current setting value of the current cycle, the equalization current setting value is subtracted from the actual battery current to obtain the battery current difference of the current cycle, and then the battery current difference is input into the second PI controller to obtain the first voltage value of the current cycle; the preset voltage value of the previous cycle is subtracted from the first voltage value of the current cycle to obtain the preset voltage value U ret .

[0081] Specifically, the lower limit value of the equalization current can be obtained by subtracting the unit preset current value from the initial equalization current setting value. For example, the unit preset current value can be 3A.

[0082] The above method can ensure the normal operation of the DC power supply and avoid the situation where the mains power failure of one power supply device causes the battery discharge of another normal power supply device.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present application, the battery capacities of the battery modules of the power supply devices are inconsistent, and the above method is used for simulation, as shown in the simulation diagram. Figure 5 a to Figure 5 As shown in Figure d, it can be seen from the simulation diagram that: after the busbar current is controlled, the charging current of the rectifier cabinet with smaller battery capacity can be controlled within the equalization current setting value, while the charging current of the rectifier cabinet with higher battery capacity can be controlled below the equalization current setting value. The system can also achieve control to ensure that the current charging of the two cabinets will not cause overcurrent.

[0084] In one embodiment of the present invention, when performing a battery discharge test and an insulation test on a DC power supply, each power supply device needs to establish a communication connection to implement time-sharing execution of the above two tests.

[0085] In one embodiment of the present invention, after S102, the method further includes:

[0086] Determine whether the fuse between the two rectifier cabinets is disconnected. If not, proceed to step S103.

[0087] If the fuse between the two rectifier cabinets is broken, remove the busbar current control loop and directly perform the following steps:

[0088] Based on the battery current difference in the current cycle, a preset voltage value in the current cycle is calculated, and based on the preset voltage value in the current cycle, the output voltage of the rectifier cabinet corresponding to the current power supply device is controlled.

[0089] Specifically, the above steps are as follows:

[0090] Inputting the battery current difference of the current cycle into a second PI controller to obtain a first voltage value of the current cycle;

[0091] The first voltage value of the current cycle and the preset voltage value of the previous cycle are summed to obtain the preset voltage value of the current cycle.

[0092] As can be seen from the above embodiment, this embodiment provides independent voltage control between power supply devices, a fast control cycle, and guaranteed correct control even in the event of a communication failure. Furthermore, the method provided by this embodiment optimally ensures zero current in the busbar segment, clamping the voltage to ensure that the battery module with the lower capacity achieves the equalized charging current while preventing current from flowing through the other battery module.

[0093] It should be understood that the order of execution of the steps in the above embodiments does not necessarily mean the order of execution. The order of execution of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.
