[0052] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0053] An embodiment of the present invention provides a protection method for an energy storage converter, which is applied to an energy storage converter system. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an energy storage converter system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The energy storage converter system includes: an energy storage converter 1, a battery 2, a bus capacitor 3 and a trip device 4.

It does not limit the conversion circuit of the energy storage converter 1 / energy storage converter.

Figure 2 A flow chart of a protection method for an energy storage converter provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 , the protection methods of energy storage converter include:

[0054] S110, obtaining a historical voltage value and a current voltage value of the bus capacitor, and obtaining a first output power of the battery and a second output power of the AC power source.

[0055] Among them, when the energy storage inverter is charging and discharging the battery, the bus capacitor has two states: charging and discharging. When the energy storage inverter is charging, the electric energy of the AC power supply is charged to the bus capacitor through the energy storage inverter, and the voltage of the bus capacitor rises. When the energy storage inverter is discharging, the bus capacitor is discharged and the voltage of the bus capacitor decreases. When the battery is tripped, the voltage of the bus capacitor will change to a certain extent, and the first output power of the battery will continue to decrease. Therefore, it is possible to judge whether the battery is tripped by detecting the voltage change of the bus capacitor and the change of the output power between the battery and the AC power supply.

[0056] S120, calculating a change slope between a current voltage value and a historical voltage value of the bus capacitor; and calculating a power ratio between the second output power and the first output power.

[0057] The historical voltage value may be an average voltage value before the current moment or a voltage value at a certain moment.

[0058] S130: Determine a first comparison result according to a difference between the change slope and a first slope threshold.

[0059] Among them, when the change slope between the current voltage value and the historical voltage value of the bus capacitor exceeds the set first slope threshold, it means that the change slope of the bus capacitor voltage is an abnormal state, and the abnormality may also be caused by bus voltage fluctuations, surges, etc., so it cannot be determined at this time that the battery has a tripping fault. Exemplarily, the first slope threshold can be determined based on the capacitance value of the bus capacitor and the equivalent resistance of the energy storage converter. When the product between the capacitance value of the bus capacitor and the equivalent resistance of the energy storage converter is larger, the value of the first slope threshold is also larger. Exemplarily, the first slope threshold can also be determined based on the capacitance value of the bus capacitor and the power of the energy storage converter. The smaller the capacitance value of the bus capacitor and the greater the power of the energy storage converter, the higher the first slope threshold. The first slope threshold can be specifically determined based on the actual application situation, and is not limited here.

[0060] S140. Determine a second comparison result according to a difference between a current voltage value of the bus capacitor and the first voltage threshold.

[0061] Among them, the current voltage value of the bus capacitor continues to be judged. When the current voltage value of the bus capacitor is greater than the first voltage threshold, it indicates that the voltage value of the bus capacitor is abnormal. Exemplarily, the first voltage threshold is the value of the safe operation of the bus voltage, which is generally between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the operating voltage of the energy storage inverter. It can be adaptively adjusted according to the power of the energy storage inverter and the capacitance value of the bus capacitor. For example, when the power of the energy storage inverter is fixed, the smaller the capacitance value of the bus capacitor, the higher the first voltage threshold; when the capacitance value of the bus capacitor is fixed, the higher the power of the energy storage inverter, the higher the first voltage threshold. The first voltage threshold can be specifically debugged and determined according to the actual application situation, and is not limited here.

[0062] S150: Determine a third comparison result according to a difference between the power ratio and the power ratio threshold.

[0063] Among them, by calculating the ratio between the second output power of the AC power supply and the first output power of the battery, the operating condition of the battery can be judged. When the power ratio is greater than the power ratio threshold, it means that the first output power of the battery is too small, or the output power of the AC power supply is too large, and the power ratio is judged to be in an abnormal state. Exemplarily, the power ratio threshold in a specific embodiment can be between 0.9-0.999, and the power ratio threshold can be determined by the operating efficiency of the energy storage inverter. When the operating efficiency of the energy storage inverter is higher, the power ratio threshold is smaller. In other embodiments, the power ratio threshold can be specifically determined according to the actual application situation, and is not limited here.

[0064] S160: Determine that the releaser is tripped according to the first comparison result, the second comparison result, and the third comparison result, and control the energy storage converter to shut down.

[0065] Among them, when the first comparison result indicates that the change slope of the bus capacitor voltage is abnormal, the second comparison result indicates that the voltage value of the bus capacitor is abnormal, and the third comparison result indicates that the power ratio is abnormal, it can be determined that the release is tripped. At this time, the protection of the energy storage converter can be started, the energy storage converter can be controlled to shut down, and the connection with the AC power supply can be disconnected to prevent damage to the energy storage converter or the bus capacitor.

[0066] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention can detect the change slope of the bus capacitor voltage, the bus capacitor voltage and the power ratio by acquiring the bus capacitor voltage, the first output power of the battery and the second output power of the AC power supply. When all three are in an abnormal state, it can be determined that the battery is tripped, and the energy storage inverter can be controlled to shut down. This setting avoids the misjudgment caused by transient phenomena caused by external interference to the battery or AC power supply, and will not cause misprotection of the energy storage inverter. In summary, the present invention realizes the tripping judgment of the battery without adding additional hardware protection measures, thereby ensuring the reliable operation of the energy storage inverter.

[0067] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, according to the difference between the change slope and the first slope threshold, determining the first comparison result includes: when the change slope between the current voltage value and the historical voltage value of the bus capacitor is greater than the first slope threshold, determining that the change slope of the bus capacitor voltage is an abnormal state. When the change slope between the current voltage value and the historical voltage value of the bus capacitor is less than or equal to the first slope threshold, determining that the energy storage converter system is in a normal state.

[0068] Among them, when the change slope of the voltage value of the bus capacitor is too large, it means that transient processes such as bus voltage fluctuation, power mutation, voltage sag or surge may have occurred in the energy storage converter system. In order to prevent the energy storage converter from malfunctioning, only the first comparison result is generated, and the energy storage converter is not controlled to perform corresponding protection actions. When the change slope of the voltage value of the bus capacitor does not reach the first slope threshold, it means that the energy storage converter system is in a normal state and there is no need to perform protection actions.

[0069] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, a second comparison result is determined according to the difference between the current voltage value of the bus capacitor and the first voltage threshold, including: when the current voltage value of the bus capacitor is greater than the first voltage threshold, determining that the voltage value of the bus capacitor is in an abnormal state; when the current voltage value of the bus capacitor is less than or equal to the first voltage threshold, determining that the energy storage inverter system is in a normal state.

[0070] Among them, when the voltage value of the bus capacitor is too high, it will cause the bus capacitor to break down, and the second comparison result is generated at this time. However, the fault may be caused by a transient phenomenon and may return to normal at the next moment, so no protection action is performed. When the current voltage value of the bus capacitor is less than or equal to the first voltage threshold, the energy storage converter system is in a normal state and no protection action needs to be performed.

[0071] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, determining the third comparison result according to the difference between the power ratio and the power ratio threshold value includes: when the power ratio between the second output power and the first output power is greater than the power ratio threshold value, determining that the power ratio is in an abnormal state. When the power ratio between the second output power and the first output power is less than or equal to the power ratio threshold value, determining that the energy storage converter system is in a normal state.

[0072] Among them, when the power ratio between the second output power and the first output power is too large, it may indicate that the output power of the AC power source is too large or the first output power of the battery is too small. In order to prevent the fault from being a transient phenomenon, the protection action is not performed temporarily. When the power ratio is less than or equal to the power ratio threshold, the energy storage converter system is in a normal state and there is no need to perform a protection action.

[0073] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, according to the first comparison result, the second comparison result and the third comparison result, determining that the releaser is tripped and controlling the energy storage converter to shut down includes: when the change slope of the bus capacitor voltage is abnormal, the voltage value of the bus capacitor is abnormal and the power ratio value is abnormal, determining that the releaser is tripped and controlling the energy storage converter to shut down.

[0074] Exemplarily, the release may include a relay. Wherein, when one or two of the first comparison result, the second comparison result and the third comparison result are abnormal, it may be a misjudgment caused by a transient phenomenon caused by external interference to the battery or the AC power supply. When the first comparison result, the second comparison result and the third comparison result are abnormal at the same time, the transient phenomenon can be excluded, the release is determined to be tripped, and the energy storage converter is controlled to be turned off. It can be understood that at this time, controlling the energy storage converter to be turned off includes: controlling the energy storage converter to stop working and / or controlling the connection between the energy storage converter and the AC power supply to be turned off. Optionally, controlling the energy storage converter to stop working includes but is not limited to controlling the conversion circuit (bidirectional DC-AC circuit) to be turned off, wherein the conversion circuit of the energy storage converter can be turned off by not sending a PWM drive signal to the conversion circuit, or sending a PWM drive wave signal for controlling each transistor in the conversion circuit to be in an off state. Optionally, the connection between the energy storage converter and the AC power supply can be controlled to be turned off by disconnecting the connection switch between the energy storage converter and the AC power supply.

[0075] Figure 3 A flowchart of another method for protecting an energy storage converter provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 Based on the above embodiments, optionally, after determining the first comparison result according to the difference between the change slope and the first slope threshold in S130, the method further includes:

[0076] S170. Determine a fourth comparison result according to a difference between a current voltage value of the bus capacitor and the second voltage threshold.

[0077] Among them, the fourth comparison result can be used to reflect the magnitude relationship between the current voltage value of the bus capacitor and the second voltage threshold. Exemplarily, the second voltage threshold can be the maximum value of the operating voltage of the energy storage converter, and the second voltage threshold is greater than the first voltage threshold. If the first comparison result indicates that the change slope of the voltage value of the bus capacitor is too large, and the current voltage value of the bus capacitor is greater than the maximum value of the operating voltage of the energy storage converter, the fourth comparison result is determined to be abnormal.

[0078] S180. Determine a fifth comparison result according to a difference between a current voltage value of the bus capacitor and a third voltage threshold.

[0079] Among them, the fifth comparison result can be used to reflect the magnitude relationship between the current voltage value of the bus capacitor and the third voltage threshold. Exemplarily, the third voltage threshold may be the minimum value of the operating voltage of the energy storage converter, and the third voltage threshold is less than the first voltage threshold. If the first comparison result indicates that the change slope of the voltage value of the bus capacitor is too large, and the current voltage value of the bus capacitor is less than the minimum value of the operating voltage of the energy storage converter, the fifth comparison result is determined to be abnormal.

[0080] S190. Determine that the bus capacitor voltage is abnormal based on the fourth comparison result and the fifth comparison result, and control the energy storage converter to shut down.

[0081] When any one of the fourth comparison result and the fifth comparison result is abnormal, it can be determined that the bus capacitor voltage is abnormal. To prevent damage to the bus capacitor, the energy storage converter is controlled to be shut down.

[0082] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, according to the difference between the current voltage value of the bus capacitor and the second voltage threshold, determining the fourth comparison result includes: when the current voltage value of the bus capacitor is greater than the second voltage threshold, determining that the bus capacitor voltage is in an abnormal state, and controlling the energy storage converter to shut down. It can be understood that at this time, controlling the energy storage converter to shut down includes: controlling the conversion circuit of the energy storage converter to shut down and / or controlling the connection between the energy storage converter and the battery / AC power supply to shut down.

[0083] Among them, when the current voltage value of the bus capacitor is greater than the second voltage threshold, it means that the current voltage value exceeds the maximum operating voltage of the energy storage inverter. If the energy storage inverter continues to operate, it may cause the energy storage inverter to be overvoltage and damaged. Therefore, the energy storage inverter can be controlled to shut down to protect the bus capacitor and the energy storage inverter.

[0084] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, according to the difference between the current voltage value of the bus capacitor and the third voltage threshold, determining the fifth comparison result includes: when the current voltage value of the bus capacitor is less than the third voltage threshold, determining that the bus capacitor voltage is in an abnormal state, and controlling the energy storage converter to shut down. When the current voltage value of the bus capacitor is greater than or equal to the third voltage threshold, determining that the energy storage converter system is in a normal state.

[0085] Among them, when the current voltage value of the bus capacitor is not greater than the second voltage threshold, it is also necessary to compare the current voltage value with the third voltage threshold. If the current voltage value is less than the third voltage threshold, the bus capacitor is in a discharge state and has a lower voltage level. At this time, the energy storage inverter may not work normally, and the energy storage inverter can be controlled to shut down.

[0086] Continue to refer Figure 1 On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the energy storage converter 1 includes: a first transmission end, a second transmission end and a control end; the first transmission end is connected to the AC power supply, and the second transmission end is connected to the battery 2. Controlling the energy storage converter to shut down includes: when the energy storage converter system is in an abnormal state, sending a control signal to the control end of the energy storage converter 1 to control the energy storage converter 1 to stop working and / or control the first transmission end and the second transmission end to shut down.

[0087] Among them, the AC power supply can be a three-phase AC power including phase A, phase B and phase C, and the energy storage converter 1 can include a first transistor Q1, a second transistor Q2, a third transistor Q3, a fourth transistor Q4, a fifth transistor Q5 and a sixth transistor Q6. The three-phase AC power of the first transmission end can be rectified by turning on or off each transistor, or the DC power of the second transmission end can be inverted. It can be understood that controlling the energy storage converter 1 to stop working includes but is not limited to controlling the conversion circuit of the energy storage converter 1 to stop working. When the energy storage converter system is abnormal, the energy storage converter 1 can turn off all the transistors in the conversion circuit of the energy storage converter and / or control the connection between the energy storage converter 1 and the battery 2 and the AC power supply to be turned off. Exemplarily, a switch can be provided inside the energy storage converter 1, and the switch can be controlled to be disconnected by a control signal, thereby turning off the first transmission end and the second transmission end of the energy storage converter 1.

[0088] Figure 4 A flowchart of another method for protecting an energy storage converter provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the method includes:

[0089] S210: Calculate the change slope between the current voltage value and the historical voltage value of the bus capacitor.

[0090] S220: Determine whether the change slope is greater than a first slope threshold. If yes, execute S230; if no, execute S270.

[0097] S290, the energy storage converter operates normally.

[0098] S300, determining that the bus capacitor voltage is abnormal, and controlling the energy storage converter to shut down.

[0099] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention can detect the change slope of the bus capacitor voltage, the bus capacitor voltage and the power ratio by acquiring the bus capacitor voltage, the first output power of the battery and the second output power of the AC power supply. When all three are in an abnormal state, it can be determined that the battery is tripped and the energy storage converter is controlled to shut down.
