[0032] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are provided for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present invention and thereby design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific uses.

[0033] Photovoltaic sound barriers embed photovoltaic panels into sound barriers, so that sound barriers on highways and urban elevated roads have the function of generating electricity. However, traditional photovoltaic sound barriers only consider the grid connection scheme, not the power consumption scheme. In traditional photovoltaic sound barriers, the DC power generated by several photovoltaic devices is converted into AC power through an inverter, and then connected to the municipal power supply through a grid cabinet, during which a large number of DC and AC cables are used. The AC street lamps used for lighting on highways and urban elevated roads are powered by an AC system, and the street lamps are powered by an AC municipal power supply. However, with the popularization of LED lighting, the light-emitting devices at the end of the street lamps use DC power, so it is necessary to add an AC-DC conversion power supply inside the street lamps, and the municipal grid uses a large number of AC cables to power the street lamps. That is to say, the photovoltaic sound barrier connects the DC power generated to the inverter through a DC cable, and after converting the AC power, it uses an AC cable to connect to the municipal power supply through a grid cabinet. On the other hand, the municipal power supply is sent to the AC street lamps through AC cables, and the street lamps use AC-DC conversion power supplies to convert the AC power provided by the municipality into DC power, so that the light-emitting devices at the end work. The process of photovoltaic sound barriers entering municipal power supply and municipal power supply supplying street lamps consumes a large amount of non-ferrous metals, and a cable laying path of sufficient size needs to be reserved; the large number of current conversion electronic devices leads to a high equipment failure rate. The inverter of the photovoltaic sound barrier system and the AC-DC conversion power supply on the street lamp are both current conversion electronic devices that are prone to failure. Once damaged during operation, the photovoltaic system will be unable to generate electricity and road lighting will be turned off, which may lead to economic losses and traffic accidents.

[0034] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a sound barrier system, the circuit diagram of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, one end of the photovoltaic panel 21 is connected to the DC street lamp 1 through the battery 22, and a DC cable is used between the photovoltaic panel 21, the battery 22 and the DC street lamp 1; the other end of the photovoltaic panel 21 is connected to the grid cabinet 4 through the inverter 3, and the grid cabinet 4 is connected to the municipal power supply 5. The photovoltaic panel 21 is connected to the inverter 3 through a DC cable, and the inverter 3 and the municipal power supply 5 use an AC cable. The battery 22 is also connected to the inverter 3 through a DC cable, and the municipal power supply 5 is used to supply power to the battery 22. The sound barrier system of the present invention combines photovoltaics, batteries 22, and DC street lamps 1, and its structural connection diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown, a DC street lamp 1 is connected to multiple sound barriers 2, and multiple sound barriers 2 are erected on the side of the DC street lamp 1. Each sound barrier 2 includes a photovoltaic panel 21 and a battery 22. The photovoltaic panel 21 is installed on the side of the sound barrier 2, and the battery 22 is installed at the bottom of the sound barrier 2. The multiple batteries 22 corresponding to the multiple sound barriers 2 are connected in series through DC cables and connected to the corresponding DC street lamp 1; the multiple photovoltaic panels 21 corresponding to the multiple sound barriers 2 are connected to the inverter 3 through the DC cable on the one hand, and connected to the corresponding battery 22 on the other hand. In addition to the installation positions of the photovoltaic panel 21 and the battery 22, each sound barrier 2 also has a sound insulation function. The lower part of the sound barrier 2 includes an electrical connection component, which reserves a channel for the DC cable on the one hand, and sets a DC cable connection terminal on the other hand, which is used to connect the electrical equipment of the sound barrier 2. The sound barrier 2 of the present invention is not only embedded with a photovoltaic panel 21, but also embedded with a battery 22. During the day, part of the DC power generated by the photovoltaic panel 21 is stored in the battery 22, and part is sent to the municipal power supply 5 through the inverter 3 and the grid cabinet 4; at night, the battery 22 supplies power to the DC street lamp 1. The DC street lamp 1 adopts DC input and directly acts on the terminal light-emitting device, eliminating the need for an AC-DC conversion power supply. The DC street lamp 1 is powered by a battery 22 connected thereto using a DC cable, which eliminates the need for lengthy AC cables compared to the existing municipal power supply method. In the system of the present invention, the photovoltaic panel 21 stores a lot of electrical energy in the battery 22, thereby reducing the capacity of the inverter 3 and reducing the failure rate of the inverter 3. If the photovoltaic panel 21 generates insufficient power during continuous rainy weather, the battery 22 will be insufficiently charged. At night, the municipal power supply 5 supplies power to the DC street lamp 1 through the inverter 3. At this time, the municipal power supply 5 serves as an emergency power supply for the DC street lamp 1. The front end of the inverter 3 is a DC cable, and the rear end is an AC cable, which reduces the complexity of cable laying and saves construction time during the construction phase.

[0035] The battery 22 can also be used as an energy storage element for peak shaving and valley filling to achieve flexible output of the photovoltaic power generation system. For the shorter nights in summer, the battery 22 will inevitably have redundancy in addition to the power of the street lamps, and can also be used to smooth the power output. The battery 22 has its own controller, which can predict the power generation curve, store energy at peak times, and reduce the peak power generation; discharge at low times to increase power generation. By shaving the peak and filling the valley, the power generation curve of the system is smoothed. The capacity of the battery 22 should not be configured too high or too low. Too high is not conducive to cost control, and too low cannot meet the function. The capacity of the battery 22 for each sound barrier 2 is determined as follows:

[0036] W b =kTP / n

[0037] Where: W b is the capacity of the battery 22 of each sound barrier 2, in kWh;

[0038] k is the redundancy coefficient, which is determined according to the working characteristics of the battery 22, redundancy in rainy weather, etc.;

[0039] T is the length of night on the local winter solstice, in hours;

[0040] P is the power of each DC street lamp 1, in kW;

[0041] n is the number of sound barriers 2 corresponding to each DC street lamp 1.

[0042] like Figure 3 The figure shows a flow chart of the energy storage battery of the sound barrier system supplying power to the DC street lamp 1. A working method of the sound barrier system is as follows:

[0043] S1: Determine whether it is night, when night comes, the DC street lamp 1 automatically lights up, and the battery 22 starts to supply power to the DC street lamp 1;

[0044] S2: Determine the power W of the battery 22 b1 Is it sufficient? If the voltage is sufficient, the battery 22 continues to be DC

[0045] Power supply for street lamp 1; power W b1 The calculation is shown in formula (2):

[0046] W b1 =kt1P / n (2)

[0047] Where: W b1 is the battery capacity of each sound barrier that night, in kWh;

[0048] t1 is the length of the local night on that day, in hours;

[0049] S3: The voltage of the battery 22 is insufficient, and the municipal power supply 5 supplies power to the battery 22 through the inverter 3, and the battery 22 then supplies power to the DC street lamp 1. At this time, the municipal power supply 5 serves as an emergency power supply, generating electricity costs;

[0050] S4: Determine whether it is daybreak, when it is daybreak, the DC street lamp 1 automatically turns off, and the battery 22 automatically stops supplying power, and continues to supply power before daybreak;

[0051] S5: After daybreak, determine the current power W of the battery 22 b2 Is it greater than 0, W b2 >0, the electricity is sent to the grid through the inverter 3. At this time, the battery 22 is used as a power generation device to generate electricity sales income;

[0052] W b2 =W b1 -t1P / n (3).

[0053] like Figure 4The diagram shows the battery energy storage process flow chart. The method of storing energy in the battery 22 is as follows:

[0054] Step 1: The battery 22 controller predicts the photovoltaic power generation curve according to local weather conditions;

[0055] Step 2: Determine whether it is the peak power generation period, if yes, the battery 22 stores energy;

[0056] Step 3: Determine the battery 22 power W b3 Can it meet the power demand of DC street lamp 1 that night? Otherwise, continue to store energy; if yes, proceed to step 4; the power W b3 Satisfying formula (4):

[0057] W b3 >W b1 (4);

[0058] Step 4: The controller of the battery 22 obtains the peak and valley electricity price information and determines whether the real-time electricity price is the peak electricity price. If so, the surplus electricity is sold to the grid and the energy storage ends after the electricity is sold. Otherwise, the energy storage ends directly.

[0059] The storage battery 22 predicts the photovoltaic power generation curve according to the local weather conditions, stores energy during the peak power generation period, and reduces the power generation peak; on the premise of ensuring that the stored power meets the power demand of the DC street lamp 1 that night, the surplus power is sold online at the peak power price to achieve the greatest economic benefits.

[0060] If energy storage is not considered in traditional photovoltaic power generation systems, the phenomenon of abandoned light may occur; if energy storage is considered, it is usually considered uniformly on the AC side of the system, which not only causes energy loss, but also occupies additional land; in addition, it is particularly uneconomical to set up energy storage in a centralized manner in small projects. The photovoltaic panel 21 of the system of the present invention generates electricity during the day, and the DC street lamp 1 is lit at night, so the battery 22 is the energy medium between the two. On the one hand, the method of the present invention saves costs, the electricity is sufficient for the street lamp in normal weather conditions, and the electricity can be sold to the power grid; on the other hand, it ensures the function of the equipment, and the municipal power supply 5 can be used as an emergency power supply when the power generation is insufficient in continuous rainy weather. The front end of the system is all DC power supply, and the power is generated and used locally; the back end of the system is all AC power supply, so that photovoltaic and energy storage equipment can sell electricity to the power grid. The design of this system saves non-ferrous metals to the maximum extent, which is conducive to energy conservation, emission reduction and cost reduction. In the project using this system, several modules can be used to complete the electrical design and construction. Each module contains a photovoltaic panel 21, a battery 22 and a DC street lamp 1. The close distance between the three is not only conducive to reducing power loss, but also convenient for modular construction. In summary, the solution of the present invention not only saves equipment costs but also improves energy utilization efficiency.
