[0026] Further, the energy storage module 1 comprises a first lithium battery 11, a second lithium battery 12, a super capacitor 13 and a DC bus 14, the output end of the first lithium battery 11, the output end of the second lithium battery 12 and the output end of the super capacitor 13 are respectively electrically connected with the input end of the DC bus 14; the output end of the first lithium battery 11, the output end of the second lithium battery 12 and the output end of the super capacitor 13 are respectively further electrically connected with the input end of the control strategy module 2; and the input end of the first lithium battery 11, the input end of the second lithium battery 12 and the input end of the super capacitor 13 are respectively electrically connected with the output end of the execution module 3. The first lithium battery 11, the second lithium battery 12 and the super capacitor 13 are respectively electrically connected with the load through the DC bus 14, so as to supply power to the load, and the energy coupling between the first lithium battery 11, the second lithium battery 12 and the super capacitor 13 is realized, the first lithium battery 11 is used for providing the average power required by the vehicle, the second lithium battery 12 is used for providing insufficient power and absorbing excess power, and the super capacitor 13 is used for recovering and outputting transient large current, so as to reduce the power requirement of the first lithium battery 11 and the second lithium battery 12, and prolong the service life thereof.

[0027] Further, the first lithium battery 11 is further provided with a first DC / DC converter 111, and the first lithium battery 11 is connected with the first DC / DC converter 111 in series. Specifically, in the embodiment, the first DC / DC converter 111 is arranged as a bidirectional DC / DC converter.

[0028] Further, the second lithium battery 12 is further provided with a second DC / DC converter 121, and the second lithium battery 12 is connected with the second DC / DC converter 121 in series. Specifically, in the embodiment, the second DC / DC converter 121 is arranged as a bidirectional DC / DC converter.

[0029] Furthermore, the supercapacitor 13 is also equipped with a third DC / DC converter 131, which is connected in series. Specifically, in this embodiment, the third DC / DC converter 131 is configured as a bidirectional DC / DC converter.

[0030] Specifically, the first lithium battery 11, the second lithium battery 12, and the supercapacitor 13 are connected in parallel to the input terminal of the DC bus 14 through the first DC / DC converter 111, the second DC / DC converter 121, and the third DC / DC converter 131, respectively.

[0031] Furthermore, the energy storage module 1 also includes an inverter 14, the input terminal of which is electrically connected to the output terminal of the DC bus 14, and the output terminal of the inverter 14 is electrically connected to the load, thereby enabling the low-speed vehicle lithium battery power system to output stable power to the load.

The input terminals of the event-driven mechanism unit 21 are electrically connected to the output terminals of the first lithium battery 11, the second lithium battery 12, and the supercapacitor 13, respectively, thereby collecting current and voltage information from the first lithium battery 11, the second lithium battery 12, and the supercapacitor 13. The output terminal of the event-driven mechanism unit 21 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the two-layer MPC controller 22, so as to output the corresponding current and voltage values ​​obtained after event-driven mechanism processing to the two-layer MPC controller 22. The output terminal of the two-layer MPC controller 22 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the execution module 3, so as to output the corresponding desired current and voltage values ​​to the execution module 3 for the first lithium battery 11, the second lithium battery 12, and the supercapacitor 13, respectively.

The two-layer MPC controller 22 performs power supply scheduling under a hierarchical decision-making mechanism, enabling the fast-response system to achieve high-precision real-time optimization control under multi-energy coupling constraints. That is, in each control cycle, it uses the system's mathematical model to predict the power system's behavior over a future period, and based on these predictions, generates and outputs the optimal control signal to the execution module 3.

[0034] In practical applications, the voltage and current values ​​collected by the first lithium battery 11, the second lithium battery 12, and the supercapacitor 13 are transmitted to the control strategy module 2. The event-driven mechanism unit 21 updates the current and voltage values ​​of the three power supplies under different operating conditions. The updated current and voltage values ​​are then transmitted to the dual-layer MPC controller 22. The optimal setpoint is calculated by the steady-state target calculation layer 221 and tracked in real time by the dynamic optimization control layer 222. The desired current values ​​of the three power supplies are then transmitted to the execution module 3. In this embodiment, the execution module 3 uses a PI controller. The switching duty cycle of the three-power-supply DC / DC converter is obtained by solving the PI controller. The three sets of duty cycles are then output to the first DC / DC converter 111, the second DC / DC converter 121, and the third DC / DC converter 131 to realize the switching action, thereby enabling the low-speed vehicle lithium battery power system of the present invention to achieve fast and accurate closed-loop control.

[0035] In summary, the low-speed vehicle lithium battery power system disclosed in this invention stores electrical energy through an energy storage module and can supply power to the load. During this process, the control strategy module monitors the voltage and current parameters of the energy storage module in real time and calculates the expected output values ​​to the execution module. The execution module controls the output voltage and output current of the energy storage module according to the expected values ​​of current and voltage, thereby realizing the automatic control of the low-speed lithium battery power system. The control strategy module includes an event-driven mechanism unit and a two-layer MPC controller. The voltage and current values ​​collected by the first lithium battery, the second lithium battery, and the supercapacitor are transmitted to the control strategy module. The event-driven mechanism unit updates the current and voltage values ​​of the three power sources under different operating conditions of the power system. The updated current and voltage values ​​are then transmitted to the two-layer MPC controller. The optimal setpoint is calculated by the steady-state target calculation layer, and the setpoint is tracked in real time by the dynamic optimization control layer. The desired current values ​​of the three power sources are then transmitted to the PI controller. The PI controller calculates the duty cycle of the three-power-source series DC / DC converter. The three duty cycles are then output to the first, second, and third DC / DC converters to realize the switching action, thereby enabling the low-speed vehicle lithium battery power system of the present invention to achieve fast and accurate closed-loop control.

However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
