In addition, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other if there is no conflict.

[0029] Figure 1 The framework of an electric ship power test bench system provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the system may include a power supply system and an EMS system required for ship testing, a simulated load, an electric propulsion system, a cooling system, a junction box, and a communication network.

[0030] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a laboratory built based on a test bench system. The frequency converter cabinet is used to control and adjust the speed and torque of the motor. It achieves stepless speed regulation of the motor by changing the power frequency and voltage supplied to the motor, thereby meeting the needs under different working conditions. The motor power analyzer is used to measure and analyze the performance of the motor and its drive system, monitor and record the electrical parameters, mechanical parameters and operating status of the motor in real time, and help evaluate the key indicators of the motor such as efficiency, power factor, torque, speed, etc. The data acquisition unit provides input and output of digital signals and analog signals as well as some communication interfaces to collect relevant parameters. The real-time monitoring system monitors the relevant data of the test bench operation and issues abnormal alarms. The electrical parameter measurement cabinet collects data from the power analyzer, temperature control system, measurement and control unit, as well as data from the power supply, communication network, etc. The console integrates test software, propulsion car clock, EMS, PCS and display screen. The console can simulate and handle faults of the battery system and propulsion system. Displays battery information, propulsion system, and power distribution system related systems. Reserve enough space for electronic and electrical communications and display devices.

[0031] The power system is a battery pack of the ship under test or a battery simulator. The battery simulator simulates the power supply process of the battery pack. Prepare two sets of normal battery packs to be tested, with matching high-voltage wiring harnesses and connectors; if the battery pack is not ready, use a battery simulator. The battery simulator uses a DC regulated power supply to supply low voltage power, and a high-voltage power supply to supply high voltage power to the battery.

[0032] The communication network provides data transmission for the power system, EMS system, electric propulsion system, cooling system, junction box and main control system, and CAN bus can be used for data transmission. CAN bus (Controller Area Network bus) is a serial communication protocol widely used in the fields of automobile and industrial automation. It is designed to efficiently and reliably transmit data between electronic control units (ECUs), especially in application scenarios that require real-time and high reliability. Efficient data transmission: CAN bus supports multi-master mode, and multiple nodes can send and receive data on the network at the same time; the data transmission rate can reach up to 1Mbps (depending on the network length and environmental conditions). High reliability: CAN bus uses differential signal transmission and has strong anti-interference ability. Supports error detection and automatic retransmission mechanism to ensure the accuracy of data transmission.

[0033] The EMS system is provided according to the EMS system of the tested ship. The EMS system is used for power distribution, real-time monitoring of power load and power system status; the electric propulsion system includes the motor to be tested, the motor MCU, and the propulsion control module. The propulsion control module sends relevant control instructions, such as speed and gear signals to the EMS system, and the EMS system then sends the speed or torque model to the motor MCU, and the motor MCU sends the signal to the motor to be tested.

[0034] The combiner box is provided in accordance with the combiner box of the tested ship, which combines the power system, and a busbar is set inside it. A circuit breaker is set on the connection line between the battery pack and the combiner box, and the access status of the battery pack is controlled by the circuit breaker. The motor is connected to the combiner box and powered by the battery; the cooling system is provided in accordance with the cooling system of the tested ship, which includes a cooling water pump as a water pipe to cool the electric propulsion system; the simulated load is connected to the motor to be tested of the electric propulsion system, and the simulated load is used to simulate the load of the propeller on the motor during the ship's navigation.

[0035] It also includes a BMS system for managing the battery status and an EMS system for adjusting the power supply status of the battery pack. The BMS system is used to monitor the operating parameters of the battery pack when it is powered independently and in parallel under different working conditions of the motor.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a motor test bench, which includes a base 1, a coupling 7, a transmission shaft 8, a torque sensor 10, a simulated load 11 and an auxiliary support device 9. A motor base 2 is set on the base, and a motor mounting frame 5 is set on the motor base 2 for mounting the motor 6 to be tested. The simulated load is a motor, and a gear box can also be used. The coupling 7 and the transmission shaft 8 are used to connect the motor 6 to be tested and the simulated load 11. The torque sensor 10 is used to detect the torque of the motor to be tested, and the auxiliary support device 9 is used to support the transmission shaft 8. It also includes a protective cover 4 and an air spring 3. The air spring 3 is located below the base 1 to reduce the vibration of the base, and the protective cover 4 is used to protect the coupling and the transmission shaft.

[0037] Speed ​​measurement accuracy Speed ​​is one of the most basic parameters in motor performance testing, and speed measurement accuracy is one of the important performance indicators of the test bench. The higher the accuracy, the more accurate the test results. Generally speaking, the speed measurement accuracy should be within ±1rpm to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0038] Torque measurement accuracy Torque is another important parameter in motor performance testing, and torque measurement accuracy is also one of the key performance indicators of the test bench. The higher the accuracy, the more reliable the test results. Generally speaking, the torque measurement accuracy should be within ±0.1Nm to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0039] Load adjustment range and accuracy are another key performance indicator of the test bench. The load adjustment range should cover the entire operating range of the motor to ensure the comprehensiveness and reliability of the test; the load adjustment accuracy should be within ±1N·m to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0040] Data acquisition frequency is one of the important performance indicators of data acquisition and processing in the test bench, which determines the accuracy and resolution of the test data. Generally speaking, the data acquisition frequency should be above 10kHz to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test data.

[0041] Test accuracy is a comprehensive performance indicator of the test bench, which reflects the stability, accuracy and reliability of the test bench.

[0042] The embodiment of the present application also includes a daily AC power distribution system, which is provided according to the daily AC power distribution system of the tested ship. The daily AC power distribution system includes a distribution board and an inverter. The inverter is connected to the battery pack through a combiner box, and the distribution board is used to control the working status of the inverter.

[0043] The EMS system issues motor speed, power or torque parameter instructions based on the electric propulsion system's request, then determines whether the motor MCU display parameters are consistent with the parameters issued by the EMS, adjusts the motor load by adjusting the simulated load, and records the motor's state parameters under different loads to test and evaluate the motor performance. The EMS system issues a power-on command to the corresponding power load, and determines whether the communication network is transmitting data based on the response status of the power load.

[0044] This system solves the problem of harsh ship debugging environment and can effectively save the ship manufacturing cycle. When the supplier of the equipment is determined, the joint debugging between the equipment can be completed during the construction of the ship, which accelerates the entire delivery cycle of the ship. The relevant controls are highly replaceable. When there is a battery missing on the ship, the entire power grid system and the equipment involved in power supply will not work. When there is a battery, it can be used for power supply. However, if the battery has a long processing cycle, but the bench test has been arranged, the battery simulator can be used for battery power supply simulation, and other related controllers can be tested. For example, the propulsion control module is still in the development stage, but the bench task already needs to be tested, and the available simulation signal has achieved the purpose of the propulsion remote control system. Controllers can be freely added to coordinate the software of related equipment.

[0045] Corresponding to the above system, the present application embodiment also provides a testing method. Figure 3 As shown, including the following:

After the EMS sends a power battery switching command, the motor MCU begins to discharge, and after reaching the appropriate position, it closes all the current battery pack circuit breakers in the combiner cabinet, closes another set of battery pack circuit breakers, and the system is powered on normally at high voltage again.

[0049] The battery system detection method is as follows:

[0093] Speed ​​test

[0094] The speed test shall include not less than the following number of round trips (downstream and upstream) within a recognized measurement range to verify the ship's free navigation speed. The requirements of the classification society shall also be met. Two round trips at design draught and 85% of the maximum continuous power of the main engine. Two round trips at design draught and maximum continuous power of the main engine.

[0095] During the sea trial, the loading state and the draft of the bow and stern of the ship should be as consistent as possible with the design state of the ship. The displacement error is allowed to be ±3%. There should be enough distance to ensure that the ship has a stable range and the main engine has a stable speed before the ship enters the speed measurement area. The speed test should be carried out under good weather conditions, such as wind force not exceeding BF2, wind and waves not exceeding the second level, and the water flow is stable.

[0096] For each power setting, the test speed must be the average of the average speeds recorded in the round trip direction, and the average speed is: V = (V1 + V2 + V3 + V4) / 4. The ship's yaw is limited to ± 2°. The average speed is calculated using the above formula.

[0097] Load simulation method: The load device in the test bench can adopt different simulation methods, such as gearbox load, motor, etc. The equipment is required to model the operation of the propeller in the fluid.

[0098] Test data processing methods Test data processing methods have an important impact on the accuracy and reliability of test results. Common data processing methods include interpolation, fitting, smoothing, etc. The interpolation method can infer the unmeasured data points in the middle through the existing data points to obtain a more continuous curve; the fitting method can obtain more accurate data points through curve fitting for easy analysis and comparison. The smoothing method can reduce the noise signal of the curve to obtain a smoother curve. Different data processing methods can be selected and applied according to test requirements.

[0099] In the motor performance test, the accuracy and error control of torque and speed measurement have a key impact on the accuracy of the test results. The accuracy and sensitivity of the torque sensor and speed sensor have a great impact on the test results, so it is necessary to select high-precision and high-sensitivity sensors for measurement. At the same time, strict requirements are imposed on the installation and use of the sensor to avoid interference and errors.

[0100] There is a certain relationship between the output power and torque of the motor. By drawing the power-speed and torque-speed curves, we can understand the performance characteristics of the motor more clearly. The power-speed curve can reflect the maximum output power and efficiency of the motor at different speeds, and the torque-speed curve can reflect the torque output characteristics of the motor under different loads. Therefore, the drawing and analysis of the power-speed and torque-speed curves can be added to the test results.

[0101] Analysis of efficiency curve The efficiency of the motor is an important performance indicator, reflecting the efficiency of the motor in converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. By drawing the efficiency-speed curve, we can more intuitively understand the efficiency characteristics of the motor and the highest efficiency point at different speeds. Therefore, the drawing and analysis of the efficiency-speed curve can be added to the test results.

[0102] Analysis of noise and vibration During the test, the motor may generate some noise and vibration, which has a certain impact on the normal operation and safety of the motor.
