[0039] Lithium-ion battery cells, which store and release electrical energy;

[0040] A supercapacitor unit, connected in parallel with the lithium-ion battery unit, is used to provide instantaneous high-power support;

[0043] In this embodiment, a hybrid energy storage system based on lithium battery energy storage is used for thermal power units, aiming to improve the competitiveness of thermal power units in the power frequency regulation market, improve frequency regulation performance, and solve the problems of insufficient life and safety of existing lithium battery energy storage frequency regulation projects. The hybrid energy storage system includes the following components:

[0044] Lithium-ion battery unit: configured as 15MW / 7.5MWh (maximum output power 15 megawatts, total stored energy is 7.5 megawatt-hours), can discharge continuously for 5 hours at maximum output power, and can discharge for longer time at lower power, used to store and release electrical energy, meeting the power plant's demand for energy storage in the frequency modulation market.

[0045] Supercapacitor unit: configured as 5MW×4min (the maximum power it can provide is 5 megawatts, and it can discharge continuously for 4 minutes at a rated power of 5MW), connected in parallel with the lithium-ion battery unit to provide high-power output in a short period of time, providing instantaneous high-power support to cope with rapid changes in grid frequency.

[0046] Control unit: connected to the lithium-ion battery unit and the supercapacitor unit, controls the charging and discharging operations of the lithium-ion battery unit and the supercapacitor unit, and ensures that the system responds to the frequency modulation instructions of the power grid.

[0047] Energy management system: connected to the control unit, monitors and optimizes the energy flow of the energy storage system, adjusts the charging and discharging strategy through real-time data analysis and prediction of grid load changes.

[0048] The hybrid energy storage system is packaged in a container and installed outdoors in a reserved space in the power plant. The system is connected to the 6kV bus of the power plant through the PCS (Power Conversion System) step-up and current conversion integrated unit, ensuring compatibility with the existing electrical system of the power plant.

[0049] To ensure the safe operation of the system, the hybrid energy storage system is equipped with a comprehensive protection device and connected to the power plant's DCS (Distributed Control System) system through remote IO (Input / Output) to achieve signal transmission and control command execution. The system also designed an automated RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) telecontrol access method and PMU (Phasor Measurement Unit) access implementation plan to achieve information interaction with the power grid dispatching system and improve the automation level of frequency regulation response.

[0050] In terms of safety verification, the system conducted a detailed analysis, including the frequency regulation power operation range of the energy storage system combined with the unit, analysis of the impact on the power system stabilizer, analysis of the impact on the power flow, verification of the unit's high-speed plant variable capacity, short-circuit current verification, and verification of the impact on power quality, ensuring the safety and reliability of the system under various operating conditions.

[0051] By implementing the hybrid energy storage system, the power plant successfully improved its frequency regulation performance, reduced the power generation plan assessment fee, and increased the AGC (Automatic Generation Control) frequency regulation revenue, which has good economic benefits.

[0056] S3, the current controller and voltage controller in the control unit work together to ensure stable operation of the system.

[0057] In this embodiment, a control method of a hybrid energy storage system based on lithium battery energy storage is used to control a hybrid energy storage system based on lithium battery energy storage applied to a thermal power unit. The control method specifically includes the following steps:

[0058] S1, Energy Management System (EMS) monitors grid load changes:

[0059] The energy management system EMS monitors key parameters of the power grid in real time, such as frequency deviation and power demand, predicts short-term and long-term demand of the power grid, and provides decision support for the control unit. The energy management system EMS optimizes the charging and discharging strategy of the energy storage system through advanced algorithms and data analysis to adapt to the dynamic changes of the power grid.

[0060] S2, the control unit adjusts the charging and discharging state of the lithium-ion battery unit and the supercapacitor unit:

[0061] The control unit adjusts the charge and discharge status of the lithium-ion battery unit and the supercapacitor unit according to the instructions of the energy management system EMS and the actual needs of the power grid. The control unit also communicates with the distributed control system (DCS) of the power plant to ensure that the operation of the energy storage system is coordinated with the overall control strategy of the power plant.

[0062] S3, the current controller and the voltage controller work together to ensure stable operation of the system:

[0063] The current controller manages the current distribution between the battery cells and the supercapacitor cells, ensuring the reasonable distribution of current under different grid conditions to support the stable operation of the grid.

[0064] The voltage controller maintains the voltage of the battery cell and supercapacitor cell within a safe and efficient range, preventing overcharging or over-discharging and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0065] In addition, the automated RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) telecontrol device and PMU (Phasor Measurement Unit) device are responsible for information exchange with the grid dispatching system and measuring the primary frequency regulation of the hybrid energy storage system, respectively. This enables the grid dispatching to accurately measure and evaluate the contribution of the energy storage system to the grid frequency regulation.

[0066] The hybrid energy storage system participates in the automatic generation control (AGC) frequency regulation, providing the necessary power support to maintain the frequency stability of the power grid by quickly responding to the frequency deviation of the power grid. The system is designed to release or absorb a large amount of power within a few seconds, significantly improving the frequency regulation performance of the power plant.

[0067] In terms of safety protection measures, the system design includes multiple safety protection measures, such as overload protection, short circuit protection, temperature monitoring, etc., to ensure that the power supply can be quickly cut off under abnormal circumstances to protect the safety of equipment and personnel.

[0068] Economic benefit analysis is also a part of the energy management system EMS. It improves the economic performance of the power plant by optimizing the charging and discharging strategies, reducing energy losses, and increasing frequency regulation benefits.

[0069] In summary, the control method of this embodiment can not only ensure the efficient and stable operation of the hybrid energy storage system, but also can be seamlessly integrated with the control system of the power plant and the power grid, provide fast and accurate frequency regulation services, and enhance the stability and reliability of the power grid. At the same time, the economic benefit analysis of the system provides important decision-making support for the power plant, optimizing the use of energy and cost control.
