Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flywheel energy storage, and in particular to a method, system, and electronic device for power distribution control of flywheel energy storage groups based on individual unit rotation speed. Background Technology

[0002] As the proportion of new energy sources in the power system gradually increases, the randomness, volatility, and low inertia of new energy power generation pose significant challenges to the real-time power balance of the power system. Solving the new problems arising from accurate power generation planning, dispatching, and operation control of new energy power systems under high proportions is a prominent challenge facing new energy power systems. To address these issues, energy storage systems are a suitable solution, aiming to achieve the significant characteristics of new power systems by enabling the integrated development of wind, solar, hydro, thermal, and energy storage systems, as well as the coordinated development of power generation, grid, load, and storage.

[0003] Flywheel energy storage utilizes physical methods to store energy, offering advantages over other energy storage technologies such as high energy density, high efficiency, low loss, no pollution, and ease of maintenance. Flywheel energy storage boasts a maximum charge-discharge cycle count of approximately 1.07 million, 20 times that of supercapacitors, with a charge-discharge efficiency reaching 96%, making it a highly promising energy storage method. However, flywheel energy storage systems exhibit high power density but relatively low energy density, limiting their application. Energy storage systems for frequency regulation applications typically require megawatt-level capacity, making it difficult for a single flywheel to support grid demands. Therefore, coordinated operation of flywheel energy storage arrays is necessary. Firstly, the output power of the entire flywheel energy storage system should adhere to its reference. Secondly, the energy levels of each energy storage unit should be balanced to maintain the maximum power capacity of the entire system; otherwise, energy storage units reaching critical high or low energy levels will be forced offline, thus reducing the overall power capacity of the system.

[0004] Flywheel energy storage clusters have been widely used in recent years due to their unique performance. However, in practical applications, the solution to the power distribution problem of flywheel clusters is often still the equal power distribution method, which can lead to overcharging and over-discharging of individual cells and cannot maintain the healthy operation of the flywheel cluster.

[0069] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0070] The purpose of this invention is to provide a power allocation method, system, and electronic device for a flywheel energy storage group. The flywheel energy storage group power allocation logic based on the average array rotation speed allocates the reference power of the flywheel energy storage group and plans the energy level of the flywheel from the perspective of group control to avoid overcharging and over-discharging of individual units, thereby maintaining the healthy operation of the flywheel group.

[0071] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0072] like Figure 1 As shown, the flywheel energy storage group consists of m flywheel arrays, where each flywheel array contains n flywheel units. The flywheel unit is the smallest unit.

[0073] Example 1

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a power allocation method for a flywheel energy storage group, including:

[0075] S1: Obtain the reference power of the flywheel energy storage group, the rotational speed of each flywheel unit, and the maximum output power of each flywheel unit. Specifically, the reference power of the flywheel group is obtained separately through the DCS (Distributed Control System), denoted as P. ref The rotational speed and current output power of each individual flywheel in the flywheel array are obtained and denoted as ω. ij P ij Where ω ij P represents the rotational speed of individual flywheel j within flywheel array i. ij This represents the output power (maximum output power) of individual flywheel j within flywheel array i.

[0076] S2: For any flywheel array, calculate the total speed, average speed and maximum output power of the flywheel array based on the rotational speed of each flywheel unit and the maximum output power of each flywheel unit.

[0077] Specifically, the total rotational speed of flywheel array i is calculated using the following formula:

[0078]

[0079] The average rotational speed of flywheel array i is calculated using the following formula:

[0080]

[0081] The maximum output power of flywheel array i is calculated using the following formula:

[0082]

[0083] Where, ω i Let ω be the total rotational speed of flywheel array i, n be the number of individual flywheels in flywheel array i, and ω be the total rotational speed of flywheel array i. ij Let ω be the rotational speed of flywheel j in flywheel array i. iave Let P be the average rotational speed of flywheel array i. i P represents the maximum output power of flywheel array i, n represents the number of individual flywheels in flywheel array i, and P represents the maximum output power of flywheel array i. ij Let be the maximum output power of flywheel unit j in flywheel array i.

[0084] S3: Based on the average rotational speed of each flywheel array, the flywheel arrays in the flywheel energy storage group are divided into priority charging group, secondary charging and secondary discharging group and priority discharging group.

[0085] In the priority charging group, the average rotational speed of the flywheel array is between the minimum required operating speed and the lower boundary of the target speed range. In the secondary charging / discharging group, the average rotational speed of the flywheel array is within the target speed range. In the priority discharging group, the average rotational speed of the flywheel array is between the upper boundary of the target speed range and the maximum required operating speed.

[0086] The energy calculation for flywheel energy storage is as follows:

[0087]

[0088] Where E is the energy stored in the flywheel, J is the moment of inertia of the flywheel rotor, and ω is the rotational speed of the flywheel.

[0089] Therefore, the flywheel energy level can be represented by its rotational speed. The current flywheel state is determined by the rotational speed. When the current flywheel speed is between the minimum required operating speed and the lower boundary of the target speed range, the flywheel is defined as being in a priority charging state. In this state, the flywheel can respond to a larger proportion of power when receiving a charging command, meaning it receives priority in allocating total power. When the flywheel is within the target speed range, its state is defined as being in a secondary charging / discharging state. In this state, regardless of whether a charging or discharging command is received, power is allocated only after the flywheel in the corresponding priority state has been fully allocated. When the current flywheel speed is between the upper boundary of the target speed range and the flywheel's maximum operating speed, its state is defined as being in a priority discharging state. In this state, the flywheel responds to the discharging signal first and then the charging signal last. Table 1 shows the states corresponding to the average rotational speed of the array, where ω... low For the minimum required operating speed, ω a ω is the lower bound of the target speed range. b ω is the upper bound of the target speed range. high This is the highest required operating speed.

[0090] Table 1 Array Status Table

[0091] Average speed range <![CDATA[ω low <ω iave <ω a ]]> <![CDATA[ω a <ω iave <ω b ]]> <![CDATA[ω b <ω iave <ω high ]]> Array state Priority charging state Second charge and second discharge state Preferred discharge state

[0092] S4: Based on the maximum output power of each flywheel array, calculate the maximum output power of the priority charging group, the maximum output power of the secondary charging and discharging group, and the maximum output power of the priority discharging group.

[0093] Specifically, the maximum output power of each flywheel group in the same state is summed to obtain the maximum output power P of the priority charging group. fchar The maximum output power P of the charge-discharge group mid and the maximum output power P of the priority discharge group fdisc .

[0094] S5: Determine the output power of the priority charging group, the output power of the secondary charging and discharging group, and the output power of the priority discharging group based on the reference power, the maximum output power of the priority charging group, the maximum output power of the secondary charging and discharging group, and the maximum output power of the priority discharging group.

[0095] Furthermore, due to the reference power P of the flywheel energy storage group ref The values ​​can be positive or negative. A positive value indicates that the flywheel energy storage group needs to absorb energy from the grid, while a negative value indicates that the flywheel energy storage group needs to release energy back to the grid. Energy absorption and energy release represent charging and discharging behaviors, respectively, and therefore need to be determined based on the reference power P. ref The sign of the slash determines the priority order for each group to participate in the allocation. For example... Figure 3 As shown, step S5 includes:

[0096] S501: Determine the charging / discharging state of the flywheel energy storage group based on the reference power. If the reference power is positive, the flywheel energy storage group is charged; if the reference power is negative, the flywheel energy storage group is discharged.

[0097] S502: Calculate the absolute value of the reference power to obtain the absolute value of the reference power.

[0098] S511: When the flywheel energy storage group is charging, determine whether the maximum output power of the priority charging group is greater than or equal to the absolute value of the reference power.

[0099] S512: If so, the output power of the priority charging group is the absolute value of the reference power, and the output power of the secondary charging and discharging group and the output power of the priority discharging group are both 0.

[0100] S513: Otherwise, calculate the difference between the absolute value of the reference power and the maximum output power of the priority charging group to obtain the first-level charging power value.

[0101] S514: Determine whether the maximum output power of the secondary charge / discharge group is greater than or equal to the primary charging power value.

[0102] S515: If so, the output power of the priority charging group is the maximum output power of the priority charging group, the output power of the secondary charging and discharging group is the first-level charging power value, and the output power of the priority discharging group is 0.

[0103] S516: Otherwise, calculate the difference between the first-level charging power value and the maximum output power of the second-level charging and discharging group to obtain the second-level charging power value.

[0104] S517: Determine whether the maximum output power of the priority discharge group is greater than or equal to the secondary charging power value.

[0105] S518: If so, the output power of the priority charging group is the maximum output power of the priority charging group, the output power of the secondary charging and discharging group is the maximum output power of the secondary charging and discharging group, and the output power of the priority discharging group is the secondary charging power value.

[0106] S519: Otherwise, the output power of the priority charging group is the maximum output power of the priority charging group, the output power of the secondary charging and discharging group is the maximum output power of the secondary charging and discharging group, and the output power of the priority discharging group is the maximum output power of the priority discharging group.

[0107] S521: When the flywheel energy storage group is discharging, determine whether the maximum output power of the priority discharge group is greater than or equal to the absolute value of the reference power.

[0108] S522: If so, the output power of the priority discharge group is the absolute value of the reference power, and the output power of the secondary charge and discharge group and the output power of the priority charge group are both 0.

[0109] S523: Otherwise, calculate the difference between the absolute value of the reference power and the maximum output power of the priority discharge group to obtain the first-level discharge power value.

[0110] S524: Determine whether the maximum output power of the secondary charge / discharge group is greater than or equal to the primary discharge power value.

[0111] S525: If so, the output power of the priority discharge group is the maximum output power of the priority discharge group, the output power of the secondary charge and discharge group is the first-level discharge power value, and the output power of the priority charge group is 0.

[0112] S526: Otherwise, calculate the difference between the first-stage discharge power value and the maximum output power of the secondary charge-discharge group to obtain the second-stage discharge power value.

[0113] S527: Determine whether the maximum output power of the priority charging group is greater than or equal to the secondary discharge power value.

[0114] S528: If so, the output power of the priority discharge group is the maximum output power of the priority discharge group, the output power of the secondary charge and discharge group is the maximum output power of the secondary charge and discharge group, and the output power of the priority charge group is the secondary discharge power value.

[0115] S529: Otherwise, the output power of the priority discharge group is the maximum output power of the priority charging group, the output power of the secondary charge and discharge group is the maximum output power of the secondary charge and discharge group, and the output power of the priority charging group is the maximum output power of the priority discharge group.

[0116] To better understand the logic of this invention, the power allocation process of each group will be further explained below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0117] When the reference power is positive, the priority charging group is designated as Group I, the secondary charging and discharging group as Group II, and the priority discharging group as Group III. When the reference power is negative, the priority discharging group is designated as Group I, the secondary charging and discharging group as Group II, and the priority charging group as Group III. The maximum output power of Group I is denoted as P. α The maximum output power of group II is denoted as P. β The maximum output power of group III is denoted as P. γ .

[0118] The power allocation logic follows the order of groups I, II, and III, allocating power values ​​accordingly, with each group maximizing the allocated reference power. Allocation logic: The absolute value of the reference power is first compared with that of group I. If group I can fully meet the reference power requirement, i.e., P... α Greater than the reference power P ref The absolute value of the total reference power output requirement is then independently borne by Group I, and the output power P allocated to Group I is... αout For reference power P ref The absolute value of P, the output power allocated to groups II and III is 0. α Less than the reference power P ref The absolute value of the power reference value is then obtained by subtracting the maximum output power of Group I from the absolute value of the power reference value, and then comparing it with the maximum output power of Group II, and so on. Finally, the output power P allocated to Groups I, II, and III is obtained. αout P βout P γout .

[0119] According to the reference power P ref The sign of the reference power P determines the output power allocated to the three groups, restoring the power output of each priority group. ref When the value is positive, it means that the flywheel energy storage group needs to be charged, and the output power P allocated to group I will be [value missing]. αout Output power P allocated to the priority charging group fcharout The output power P allocated to group II βout The output power P allocated to the secondary charge and discharge group midout The output power P allocated to group III γout Output power P allocated to the priority discharge group fdiscout When the reference power P ref When the value is negative, it means the flywheel energy storage group needs to discharge.

[0120] In step 5, the allocation of reference power ensures that a small signal will not cause all flywheel units to participate in the action, thus reducing the number of flywheel actions and consequently reducing unnecessary losses.

[0121] S6: Calculate the output power of each flywheel array based on the output power of the priority charging group, the maximum output power of the priority charging group, the output power of the secondary charging and discharging group, the maximum output power of the secondary charging and discharging group, the output power of the priority discharging group, the maximum output power of the priority discharging group, and the maximum output power of each flywheel array.

[0122] Since each priority group consists of many flywheel arrays, it is necessary to allocate the power of the priority group to each flywheel array. Here, the ratio of the maximum output power of each flywheel array to the maximum output power within the group is selected as a coefficient for allocation.

[0123] Specifically, (1) the output power of each flywheel array in the priority charging group is calculated based on the output power of the priority charging group, the maximum output power of each flywheel array in the priority charging group and the maximum output power of the priority charging group.

[0124] The output power of flywheel array k in the priority charging group is calculated using the following formula:

[0125]

[0126] Among them, P kout P represents the output power of the flywheel array k in the priority charging group. fcharout For the output power of the priority charging group, P k P represents the maximum output power of the flywheel array k in the priority charging group. fchar This is the maximum output power of the priority charging group.

[0127] (2) Calculate the output power of each flywheel array in the secondary charge and secondary amplifier group based on the output power of the secondary charge and secondary amplifier group, the maximum output power of each flywheel array in the secondary charge and secondary amplifier group and the maximum output power of the secondary charge and secondary amplifier group.

[0128] (3) Calculate the output power of each flywheel array in the priority discharge group based on the output power of the priority discharge group, the maximum output power of each flywheel array in the priority discharge group and the maximum output power of the priority discharge group.

[0129] The calculation formulas for the output power of each flywheel array in the secondary charge / discharge group and the priority discharge group are similar to those for the output power of flywheel array k in the priority charging group, and will not be repeated here.

[0130] S7: Based on the output power of each flywheel array, the total rotational speed of each flywheel array, and the rotational speed of each flywheel unit in each flywheel array, calculate the output power of each flywheel unit to allocate power to each flywheel unit. That is, generate power commands based on the allocated output power of each flywheel unit, and send the power commands to the controllers corresponding to each flywheel unit through the DCS to complete the control of the flywheel unit.

[0131] Specifically, the power distribution within the flywheel array follows a proportional distribution principle based on rotational speed. Flywheels with higher rotational speeds receive more power. This distribution method ensures that the rotational speeds within the flywheel array are more consistent, leading to more accurate judgment of the flywheels during array status assessment. The average rotational speed of the flywheel array is closer to the actual rotational speed of each individual flywheel.

[0132] The output power of individual flywheel j in flywheel array i is calculated using the following formula:

[0133]

[0134] Among them, P ijout P represents the output power of individual flywheel j in flywheel array i. iout ω represents the output power of the flywheel array i. i Let ω be the total rotational speed of flywheel array i. ij Let be the rotational speed of flywheel unit j in flywheel array i.

[0135] In step 7, the array output power is allocated according to the rotational speed ratio of each flywheel unit in the flywheel array, so that the rotational speed of each flywheel unit in the flywheel array tends to be consistent.

[0136] This invention plans the rotational speed to the optimal range when the flywheel energy storage group is running. Within this range, the flywheel output efficiency is the highest. Therefore, as the number of flywheels in the optimal speed range increases, the overall output power of the flywheel group increases. This optimizes the operating state of the flywheel energy storage group, keeps it at its maximum power as much as possible, and improves the utilization rate of the flywheel energy storage group.
