[0067] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0068] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a charging control method for a smart pole according to an exemplary embodiment. The charging control method for the smart pole includes the following steps:

[0069] Step S101: Determine the device to be charged that will be connected to the target smart pole;

[0070] Step S102: Determine the charging category for the device to be charged based on the charging parameters of the target smart pole;

[0071] Step S103: Perform charging control on the device to be charged according to the charging category;

[0072] The charging parameters include at least one of the following: the first power level of the energy storage module in the target smart pole, the predicted power of the photovoltaic power generation of the target smart pole, and the second power level of the energy storage module in other smart poles connected to the target smart pole;

[0073] The charging categories include full-power charging, reduced-power charging, or energy dispatch charging.

[0074] In this embodiment, the executing entity can be the target smart pole, such as the edge computing module in the target smart pole.

[0075] The device to be charged may include, but is not limited to, electric vehicles, trams, mobile phones, tablets and other devices that need to be charged. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0076] In this embodiment, the executing entity can detect whether the device to be charged is connected. If the connection is detected, the entity determines the device connected to the target smart pole and intelligently controls the charging method for the device. The target smart pole is pre-equipped with a charging interface for connecting the device to be charged. When charging is required, the target smart pole and the device to be charged can be connected through this charging interface.

[0077] Subsequently, the executing entity can determine the charging category for the device to be charged based on the current charging parameters of the target smart pole. These charging parameters include the first energy level of the energy storage module in the target smart pole, the predicted power of photovoltaic power generation from the target smart pole, and the second energy level of the energy storage modules in other smart poles connected to the target smart pole. Typically, there are multiple other smart poles connected to the target smart pole. Each smart pole contains an energy storage module used to store the corresponding smart pole's energy. Furthermore, each smart pole may also include photovoltaic modules for power generation, and the executing entity can predict the power generation of these photovoltaic modules. The predicted power generation from photovoltaic power of the target smart pole can be the predicted power generation value of the target smart pole at a future time. Based on this power generation value, the executing entity can obtain the predicted amount of photovoltaic power generation, and thus determine the appropriate charging control strategy to be implemented. This achieves the goal of ensuring power supply to the device in the absence of mains power through photovoltaic power generation.

[0078] Among them, full-power charging refers to charging with the maximum power or the power obtained by multiplying the maximum power by a preset ratio, reduced-power charging refers to charging with the current power reduced, and energy dispatch charging refers to dispatching the energy of other smart poles for charging.

[0079] As an optional implementation, the charging category for the device to be charged is determined based on the charging parameters of the target smart pole, including:

[0080] If the first charge level reaches the first boundary value and the predicted power reaches the preset power threshold, or if the first charge level does not reach the first boundary value, then the charging category is determined to be full-power charging.

[0081] If the first charge level reaches the first boundary value, the predicted power does not reach the preset power threshold, and the second charge level reaches the first boundary value, then the charging category is determined to be the reduced power charging.

[0082] If the first power level reaches the first boundary value, the predicted power does not reach the preset power threshold, and the second power level does not reach the first boundary value, then the charging category is determined to be the energy dispatch charging.

[0083] In this embodiment, the executing entity can first determine whether the first power level has reached a first boundary value. The first boundary value can be a pre-set, relatively small power level. If the first power level has not reached the first boundary value, but is greater than the first boundary value, it indicates that the energy storage module of the target smart pole has sufficient power to charge external devices, and the charging type is determined to be full-power charging.

[0084] Furthermore, if the initial power level reaches a first boundary value (e.g., less than or equal to the first boundary value), it indicates that the energy storage module of the target smart pole does not have sufficient power to charge external components. In this case, it is necessary to further determine whether the predicted power reaches a preset power threshold. The preset power threshold can be a pre-set, relatively large power value. If the predicted power reaches the preset power threshold, it means that although the energy storage module of the target smart pole does not have sufficient power to charge external components, the photovoltaic power generation components of the target smart pole are predicted to generate sufficient power. In this case, the charging type can be determined as full-power charging.

[0085] Furthermore, if the predicted power does not reach the preset power threshold, it indicates that the energy storage module of the target smart pole does not have sufficient power to charge externally, and the power generated by the photovoltaic power generation module of the target smart pole is also insufficient for full-power charging. In this case, it is possible to further detect whether the second power of other smart poles reaches the aforementioned first boundary value. If the second power does not reach the first boundary value, or if the second power is greater than the first boundary value, it indicates that other smart poles have sufficient power to charge externally, and the charging category can be determined as energy dispatch charging.

[0086] Furthermore, if the second power level reaches the first boundary value, such as if the second power level is less than or equal to the first boundary value, it means that other smart poles also do not have sufficient power to charge external devices. In this case, the charging category can be determined as reduced power charging.

[0087] As an optional implementation, charging control of the device to be charged, according to the charging category, includes:

[0088] If the charging type is full-power charging, then the charging module is controlled to charge the device to be charged at full power;

[0089] If the charging category is reduced power charging, then the charging module is controlled to reduce the power before charging the device to be charged;

[0090] If the charging category is energy dispatch charging, then other smart poles that have established a connection with the target smart pole are controlled to perform energy dispatch to the target smart pole in order to charge the device to be charged.

[0091] In this embodiment, each smart pole also has a charging module for external charging.

[0092] If the charging type is full-power charging, the charging module in the target smart pole can be controlled to charge the device at full power, such as charging the device at maximum power, in order to improve charging efficiency when the battery is fully charged.

[0093] If the charging type is reduced-power charging, the current set charging power of the charging module can be determined first, and then a preset power value can be subtracted from the current set charging power to obtain the reduced power. Afterwards, the charging module is controlled to charge the device at the reduced power, so that the charging power value can be dynamically adjusted when the battery is insufficient, thereby ensuring the basic power supply of the target smart pole and maximizing energy utilization.

[0094] If the charging type is energy dispatch charging, other smart poles connected to the target smart pole can be controlled to dispatch energy to the target smart pole, allowing the target smart pole to charge the device using the dispatched energy. The target smart pole can pre-connect to multiple other smart poles. This allows it to dispatch energy from other smart poles when its power is insufficient, achieving charging and thus realizing local energy self-balancing.

[0095] As an optional implementation, controlling other smart poles connected to the target smart pole to perform energy dispatch to the target smart pole to charge the device to be charged includes:

[0096] Based on the second electrical quantity, the scheduling smart pole is determined from other smart poles that have established a connection with the target smart pole;

[0097] The smart pole discharges to the DC bus to power the energy storage module in the target smart pole and control the charging module in the target smart pole to charge the device to be charged at full power.

[0098] The DC bus is used to connect the energy storage module of the dispatch smart pole to the energy storage module of the target smart pole.

[0099] In this embodiment, the energy storage modules of each smart pole can be connected via a 400V DC bus. Furthermore, when controlling other smart poles connected to the target smart pole to perform energy dispatch to charge the device to be charged, the dispatching smart pole can be selected based on the second power level of each of the other connected smart poles. At least one dispatching smart pole is used. Preferably, several smart poles with larger second power levels are selected as dispatching smart poles. Specifically, a power threshold for selecting dispatching smart poles can be preset, and then the second power level of each of the other connected smart poles connected to the target smart pole is compared with this power threshold. Smart poles with second power levels greater than this power threshold are identified as dispatching smart poles. It can be understood that the power threshold here can be a large power value. Then, the dispatching smart pole discharges to the DC bus to energize the energy storage module in the target smart pole. Afterward, the target smart pole can control the charging module to charge the device to be charged at full power based on the energized energy storage module. Furthermore, when determining the scheduling smart pole from other smart poles, the executing entity can also detect whether the power of other smart poles has reached the set boundary value. If it has not reached the boundary value, the scheduling smart pole is determined from other smart poles and the discharge scheduling of the scheduling smart pole is accepted. If the boundary value is reached, the determination operation of the scheduling smart pole is not executed, that is, the scheduling of the scheduling smart pole is not accepted.

[0100] As an optional implementation, after controlling the charging of the device to be charged according to the reduced power charging method, the method further includes:

[0101] If the first charge level reaches the second boundary value, then control to stop charging the device to be charged;

[0102] If the first charge level does not reach the second boundary value, the device to be charged will be charged according to the current power.

[0103] In this embodiment, after controlling the charging of the device to be charged according to the charging category corresponding to reduced power charging, it can be further determined whether the first power level of the energy storage module of the target smart pole has reached the second boundary value. The second boundary value is less than the first boundary value.

[0104] Furthermore, if the first charge level reaches the second boundary value, that is, the first charge level is less than or equal to the second boundary value, it means that the first charge level has reached the minimum boundary value, and at this time, the charging of the device to be charged can be stopped.

[0105] Furthermore, if the first charge level does not reach the second boundary value, the device to be charged can continue to be charged at the current charging power.

[0106] As an optional implementation, the target smart pole establishes a communication connection with each other smart pole in the same area.

[0107] In this embodiment, the target smart pole can form an information and energy network with multiple other smart poles in the same area, and any two smart poles in the same network have a communication connection.

[0108] The proposed solution allows for determining whether to charge the device at full power, charge at reduced power, or use energy dispatch based on the first charge level of the energy storage module in the target smart pole, the predicted power of photovoltaic power generation from the target smart pole, and the second charge level of the energy storage modules in other smart poles connected to the target smart pole. This charging control method considers multiple factors, including the charge levels of other smart poles connected to the target smart pole, the charge level of the target smart pole itself, and the predicted power of photovoltaic power generation from the target smart pole. By combining energy dispatch with other factors, it enables intelligent charging control for different charging categories, thus improving the charging control performance of smart poles.
