[0041] Figure 1 This is a connection diagram of a distributed power system in some embodiments of the present application. The distributed power system includes multiple power devices and a management module, and each power device is communicatively connected with the management module.

[0042] Among them, the management module communicates with each power device to monitor and control each power device; the management module can also communicate with other devices such as electric meters and cloud platforms, and receive external input to collect electrical information or receive command information.

[0043] In some embodiments, the management module may be a separate device; or, the management module may be integrated into other devices, such as an inverter, a DC converter, an AC converter, etc.; or, the management module may include multiple devices, which are communicatively connected to each other, and each device is used to implement different functions, for example, the first device of the management module is used to communicate with the power device, and the second device of the management module is used to receive other input information.

[0044] Specifically, the communication method between the management module and each power device includes any one of wireless communication, power line carrier communication or wired communication.

[0045] The power device may be a circuit breaker, an optimizer, a micro inverter, a string inverter, an energy storage inverter, a monitor, etc. The output ends of multiple power devices may be connected in series and / or in parallel, and the output ends of each power device may also be directly connected to the bus, respectively, without limitation.

[0046] In one embodiment, a power control method is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 The management module in the distributed power system shown in the figure is used as an example for explanation, including:

[0047] Based on a preset cycle, a first signal is sent to each power device, the first signal including a target device address, a polling instruction and a control instruction; wherein the control instruction is used by each power device to control the power output of the device; and the target device address is used by each power device to determine whether to respond to the polling instruction.

[0048] According to the preset polling cycle, the management module periodically sends a first signal to each power device to query the operation status of each power device. The first signal includes a target device address, a polling instruction and a control instruction.

[0049] After receiving the first signal, the power device can determine whether the queried target device is the local device according to the target device address in the first signal. If it is the local device, it will respond to the polling instruction and reply to the management module with a second signal, which includes the query content corresponding to the polling instruction. If it is not the local device, it will not reply. At the same time, the power device can also parse the control instruction in the first signal and control the power output of the local device according to the content of the control instruction. It should be noted that the control instruction is not limited by the target device address. When the target device address in the first signal is not the local device, the power output of the local device will also be controlled according to the control instruction.

[0050] In the power control method of the present embodiment, the management module periodically sends a first signal to each power device to inquire about the operating status of each power device. Each power device determines whether to respond to the polling instruction in the first signal according to the target device address in the first signal, and replies to the polling instruction when the target device address is the local address. At the same time, the power output of the local device is controlled according to the control instruction in the first signal, thereby realizing power control of the power device during normal polling, thereby solving the problem in the related technology that regulating the power device will cause the interruption of the power device data polling.

[0051] In some embodiments, the present invention also relates to a process in which the management module generates a target device address field before sending the first signal to each power device. Figure 2 is a flowchart of generating a target device address field in a first signal in some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0052] Step S201, obtaining the device number of each power device.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, the management module can receive the device number sent by each power device through the communication connection with each power device. In another specific embodiment, the management module includes an input device, and the device number of each power device is directly input through the input device.

[0054] Step S202: Network each power device based on the device number and assign a corresponding device address to each power device.

[0055] Network each power device according to the device number and assign a device address to each power device.

[0056] Step S203: Based on the device addresses corresponding to the power devices, fields corresponding to the target device addresses in the first signal are generated in sequence.

[0057] The management module can generate an address table according to the device addresses of all power devices in the current communication network, and based on the device addresses in the address table, generate fields of target device addresses corresponding to each power device in turn, and generate a corresponding first signal according to the field to realize polling of each power device.

[0058] Through steps S201 to S203, by obtaining the device number of each power device, each power device is networked based on the device number, and a corresponding device address is assigned to each power device. Based on the device address corresponding to each power device, the fields corresponding to the target device address in the first signal are generated in sequence, and the corresponding first signal is generated according to the field to realize polling of each power device.

[0059] In some embodiments, the management module may also use the device number as the device address, and generate a field corresponding to the target device address in the first signal based on the device number corresponding to each power device.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, the control instruction may be generated by the management module based on electrical information or status information of the distributed power system.

[0061] The electrical information of the distributed power system may include power data, voltage value, current value and other information obtained by measuring key positions of the system, and the output of the power device is adjusted based on the power supply situation indicated by the electrical information, so that the power output of the system meets the power supply demand. The management module can obtain the electrical information of the distributed power system from the electric meter and / or other collectors.

[0062] The status information of the distributed power system may include an allowed operation state and a safe state. In the allowed operation state, each power device in the distributed power system should operate normally and turn on power output; in the safe state, each power device in the distributed power system should turn off power output. The output of the power device is turned on or off based on the status information, so that the system meets the safety requirements.

[0063] Figure 3 It is a connection diagram of a distributed power system of some embodiments of the present application, and the distributed power system includes a management module and a plurality of power devices, and each power device is communicatively connected to the management module. The power device may be an inverter such as a micro inverter, a string inverter, or an energy storage inverter. The output ends of the inverters may be connected in parallel or directly to the AC bus. According to local regulatory requirements, it is not allowed to deliver excess electric energy to the power grid in certain areas or under certain circumstances, so the power generation of the inverter needs to be adjusted dynamically in real time to meet regulatory requirements.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the output end of each inverter is connected to the AC bus and also connected to the grid side. The AC bus is also connected to uncontrolled devices. The uncontrolled devices can store or use the output electric energy of each inverter and can also draw electricity from the grid. The uncontrolled devices are not connected to the management module for communication and are therefore not controlled by the management module. Uncontrolled devices can be power-consuming devices or energy storage devices. The sudden connection or disconnection of uncontrolled devices will cause grid power fluctuations on the grid side. The distributed power system also includes an electric meter for collecting grid power data on the grid side. The electric meter is connected to the management module for communication. The electrical information of the distributed power system includes grid power data sampled by the electric meter. The control instruction includes a first control instruction, which is generated based on the electrical information and is used for the power device to adjust the power output of the machine.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, the electric meter is connected in series between the AC bus and the grid side, and is used to collect grid power data on the grid side and send the grid power data to the management module. The grid power data includes at least one of a current value, a voltage value, and a power value. The management module generates a corresponding first control instruction based on the grid power data obtained from the electric meter.

[0066] In one embodiment, when it is determined based on the grid power data that the inverter is generating electricity to the grid side, a first control instruction can be generated for the inverter to reduce its output power. After receiving the first signal, the inverter reduces its own output power based on the first control instruction, so that the inverter does not generate electricity to the grid side, thereby achieving backflow prevention.

[0067] In another embodiment, when it is determined based on the grid power data that the inverter does not generate electricity to the grid side but supplies power to the grid, a first control instruction can be generated for the inverter to increase its output power. After receiving the first signal, the inverter increases its own output power based on the first control instruction, so that the grid does not need to supply power, thereby saving grid electricity costs.

[0068] In a further embodiment, the first control instruction includes a power adjustment value, which is determined based on grid power data.

[0069] The management module can calculate the power adjustment value based on the power grid data collected by the electric meter. In a specific embodiment, the power adjustment value = the power grid value / the number of inverters. Each inverter reduces or increases its own output power according to the power adjustment value in the first control instruction.

[0070] In this embodiment, the management module periodically sends a first signal to each inverter to query the operating status of each inverter. Each inverter determines whether to respond to the polling instruction in the first signal according to the target device address in the first signal, and replies to the polling instruction when the target device address is the local address. At the same time, the inverter adjusts the power output of the local device according to the first control instruction in the first signal, thereby realizing power adjustment of the inverter during normal polling, which not only regulates the power output of the inverter in real time, but also does not cause data polling interruption.

[0071] Figure 4 is a connection diagram of a distributed power system in some other embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the distributed power system includes a management module and multiple power devices, and each power device is connected to the management module in communication. The power device includes an optimizer or a switch, and the output ends of multiple optimizers / switches are connected in series. The distributed power system may include multiple groups of optimizers / switches connected in series. The optimizers / switches are connected in series to form a DC high-voltage system. In order to ensure the safety of the system and personnel when the system fails or when maintenance is performed, the distributed power system is required to automatically reduce the DC voltage in these cases, and it is necessary to control the optimizer / switches to shut down the power output.

[0072] The state information of the distributed power system may include an allowed operation state or a safe state, which may be determined by the management module based on the acquired polling data, or may be input externally. The external input may be that the management module may obtain the state information from the cloud platform, or the user may directly input the state information to the management module. The state information of the distributed power system may include an allowed operation state or a safe state, and the control instruction may include a second control instruction, which is generated based on the state information and is used for the optimizer / shutdown device to turn on or off the power output of the machine.

[0073] When the status information is in the state of allowing operation, the second control instruction is the instruction of allowing operation, and the optimizer / shutdown device starts the power output of the machine after receiving the first signal containing the second control instruction for a specified number of consecutive times. When the status information is in the safe state, the second control instruction is not generated. If the first signal received by the optimizer / shutdown device within the specified time does not include the second control instruction or the first signal is not received, the power output of the machine is shut down. Alternatively, when the status information is in the safe state, the second control instruction is a shutdown instruction, and the optimizer / shutdown device shuts down the power output of the machine after receiving the first signal containing the second control instruction.

[0074] In this embodiment, the management module periodically sends a first signal to each optimizer / shutdown switch to query the operating status of each optimizer / shutdown switch. Each optimizer / shutdown switch determines whether to respond to the polling instruction in the first signal according to the target device address in the first signal, and replies to the polling instruction when the target device address is the local address. At the same time, the inverter turns on or off the power output of the local device according to the second control instruction in the first signal, thereby switching the power output of the optimizer / shutdown switch on and off during normal polling, thereby controlling the operating status of the optimizer / shutdown switch in real time and not causing data polling interruption.

[0075] Some embodiments of the present application also provide a power control method, which is applied to Figure 1 Power devices in distributed power systems. Figure 5 is a flow chart of a power control method applied to a power device in some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0076] Step S501: receiving a first signal sent by a management module based on a preset period, where the first signal includes a target device address, a polling instruction, and a control instruction.

[0077] The management module periodically sends a first signal to each power device to query the operation status of each power device. The first signal includes a target device address, a polling instruction and a control instruction.

[0078] Step S502, controlling the power output of the local device based on the control instruction, and determining whether to respond to the polling instruction based on the target device address.

[0079] After receiving the first signal, the power device can determine whether the queried target device is the local device according to the target device address in the first signal. If it is the local device, the power device responds to the polling instruction, and if it is not the local device, the power device does not respond. At the same time, the power device also parses the control instruction in the first signal and controls the power output of the local device according to the content of the control instruction. It should be noted that the control instruction is not limited by the target device address. When the target device address in the first signal is not the local device, the power output of the local device can also be controlled according to the control instruction.

[0080] Through steps S501 to S502, the power device receives a first signal sent by the management module based on a preset period, wherein the first signal includes a target device address, a polling instruction and a control instruction, and controls the power output of the machine based on the control instruction, and determines whether to respond to the polling instruction based on the target device address. This enables the power device to perform power control according to the control instruction of the management module while normally receiving the polling instruction, thereby solving the problem in related technologies that regulating the operating status of the power device will cause the data polling of the power device to be interrupted.

[0081] In some embodiments, Figure 6 is a flow chart of response determination of polling instructions in some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0082] Step S601, determining whether the target device address is consistent with the device address of the local device.

[0083] The polling instruction in the first signal is only for the power device whose address is consistent with the target device address. Therefore, after receiving the first signal, the power device first determines whether the target device address is consistent with the device address of the local device. The device address of the power device can be determined by the management module after completing the networking and performing address allocation on each power device.

[0084] Step S602: If they are consistent, a second signal is sent to the management module in response to the polling instruction, where the second signal includes the operating parameters of the local device.

[0085] When the target device address is consistent with the device address of the local device, a second signal is sent to the management module to reply to the polling instruction. The second signal may include the operating parameters of the local device.

[0086] Specifically, the operating parameters include at least one of an input voltage, an input current, an output voltage, an output current, a power generation amount, a device temperature, and a device operating mode of the power device.

[0087] Through steps S601 to S602, it is determined whether the target device address is consistent with the device address of the local device. If they are consistent, a second signal is sent to the management module in response to the polling instruction. The second signal includes the operating parameters of the local device. That is, the management module obtains the operating parameters of each power device through the polling instruction, and realizes status monitoring of each power device through polling.

[0088] Some embodiments of the present application also provide a power control method, which is applied to Figure 1 Distributed power systems. Figure 7 is a flow chart of a power control method applied to a distributed power system in some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 7 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0089] Step S701: The management module sends a first signal to each power device based on a preset cycle, where the first signal includes a target device address, a polling instruction, and a control instruction;

[0090] Step S702: The power device controls the power output of the device based on the control instruction, and determines whether to respond to the polling instruction based on the target device address.

[0091] Through steps S701 to S702, the management module periodically sends a first signal to each power device to query the operating status of each power device; the power device controls the power output of the local device based on the control instruction, and determines whether to respond to the polling instruction based on the target device address, thereby realizing that the power device performs power control according to the control instruction of the management module while normally receiving the polling instruction, thereby solving the problem in related technologies that regulating the operating status of the power device will cause the interruption of the power device data polling.
