Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of charging stations, and in particular to a method and system for monitoring charging stations. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), the development of their supporting charging stations is also accelerating. An electric vehicle charging station is a facility that provides electrical power to electric vehicles, comprising a series of charging equipment, power distribution facilities, and related monitoring and management systems. Its primary function is to safely and efficiently charge the electric vehicle's battery, enabling the vehicle to regain its driving capability.

[0003] With the deepening of energy conservation, environmental protection, and green themes, the market share of electric vehicles is increasing year by year, the number of electric vehicles is constantly increasing, and charging stations are being built continuously. While these charging stations provide convenient charging services for vehicles, their energy consumption is also constantly increasing. Therefore, many power companies often introduce clean power generation equipment, such as solar panels and wind turbines, to partially power charging stations during construction. However, different charging stations have different locations and varying passenger flow, which leads to some charging stations having insufficient clean energy to supply users' vehicles, still requiring a large amount of grid power; while other charging stations have insufficient passenger flow due to various factors, resulting in a surplus of clean energy. Existing technologies often provide charging guidance to users via the internet, indicating where they can charge. For example, Chinese patent CN106240385B discloses a method and device for monitoring charging stations.

[0004] However, how to effectively monitor the data of charging stations in order to guide users to make reasonable use of the clean energy of each charging station is an unsolved problem. Summary of the Invention

[0027] C3. The strategy optimization model, based on factor prediction information, simulates the next operating cycle of the charging station through the charging station simulation model. During the operation, a fixed number of strong sudden events are randomly generated based on the charging station's site information and historical data and inserted into the simulation to obtain sudden simulation data. The strong sudden events include severe weather events, extreme passenger flow events, and other pre-set types of events.

[0028] C4. Determine if there are any unsimulated alternative strategies;

[0029] C5. If it exists, then proceed to step C1;

[0030] C6. If not, then the normal simulation data and the sudden simulation data are packaged to generate simulation data. Preferably, the evaluation calculation formula is as follows:

[0031] Y = X1 × Z1 + X2 × Z2;

[0032] Z1=W1 +W2 +W3 +W4 ;

[0036] The status of the energy storage system is monitored in real time. When the energy storage capacity of the energy storage system is lower than the low energy threshold preset in the dynamic control standard, it is determined whether it is in the clean charging period.

[0037] If not, then determine whether it is in a trough charging period;

[0038] If it is in the off-peak period, a dynamic correction command will be generated to enable the off-peak mains power to charge the energy storage system until the pre-set mains power charging threshold in the dynamic control standard is reached or the off-peak charging period ends.

[0039] If not, check whether the power output of the clean power generation equipment meets the minimum charging requirements of the energy storage system.

[0040] If the conditions are met, a dynamic correction command is generated to control the clean power generation equipment to charge the energy storage system until the stored energy reaches the safe energy threshold preset in the dynamic control standard.

[0041] If the conditions are not met, the charging power supply to the energy storage system will be cut off. Based on the real-time load of the charging station and the interaction protocol with the power grid, it will be determined whether it is permissible to purchase a small amount of electricity from the power grid at a non-off-peak price for emergency charging of the energy storage system, so as to ensure the basic operation function of the energy storage system and the emergency power supply capability of the charging station. At the same time, this emergency charging event will be recorded.

Through strategy optimization models, data relationships are mined out, and combined with weather forecast information of the geographical location, the student flow and charging and discharging status of the charging station in the next cycle are predicted. In this way, a charging and discharging monitoring strategy for the next operating cycle of the charging station is generated intelligently and accurately, and it has strong universality.

[0062] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0063] This application discloses a method for monitoring charging stations. (Refer to...) Figure 1 A method for monitoring charging stations includes the following steps:

[0064] S1. Information Acquisition: Acquire site information and historical data of the charging station; the site information includes site geographical information, site clean power generation equipment parameter information, site energy storage system parameter information, and site charging pile parameter information; the historical data includes historical data related to passenger flow, historical data related to charging and discharging, and other operational data; the historical data related to passenger flow includes charging vehicle records and user information; the historical data related to charging and discharging includes power generation data of clean power generation equipment, energy storage system data, and charging pile data; the other operational data includes historical weather data and energy cost data;

[0065] S2. Generation Processing: Periodically generate charging and discharging monitoring strategies for the next operating cycle of the charging station based on the station information and historical data information of the charging station using a preset strategy optimization model; the strategy optimization model is a neural network model obtained by iterative training using historical data information from multiple charging stations; the charging and discharging monitoring strategy includes platform recommended strategies, dynamic control standards, at least one clean charging period, at least one off-peak charging period, and charging and discharging strategy process information.

[0066] S3. Recommendation Update: The platform recommendation strategy is pre-updated to the charging service platform according to the charging and discharging monitoring strategy; the platform recommendation strategy includes information on discount intensity, discount period information, recommended resource usage requirements (APP open ads, ad pop-ups, homepage ad bar, category ad bar, etc.), temporary discount information, and other recommendation strategy information.

[0067] S4. Monitoring and Control: Based on the charging and discharging monitoring strategy, the system issues commands at regular intervals to control the energy storage system to perform charging and discharging operations according to the charging and discharging strategy process. The system also monitors the status of the energy storage system in real time and generates dynamic correction commands according to the dynamic control standard to control the energy storage system to perform additional charging and discharging operations.

[0068] S5. Report Generation: Regularly collect monitoring data to generate monitoring reports and send them to management personnel. Based on existing passenger flow prediction models, charging and discharging prediction models, and charging station promotion plan models, utilize a neural network model and iteratively train it using historical data from charging stations to obtain a strategy optimization model. By acquiring multi-dimensional site information and rich historical data, and based on the actual situation of charging stations, this system considers factors such as equipment, geography, passenger flow, clean energy usage, charging and discharging, energy costs, and operations. It fully takes into account various practical factors in charging station operation, uses a strategy optimization model to mine data relationships, and combines this with geographical location weather forecast information to predict passenger flow and charging / discharging status for the next cycle. This intelligently and accurately generates charging / discharging monitoring strategies for the next operating cycle, with strong universality. Furthermore, it optimizes charging station recommendation information, guiding users to consume clean energy at each charging station while meeting their charging needs, ensuring the rational use of clean energy and improving profitability and utilization rates. Based on the charging / discharging monitoring strategy, intelligent control and monitoring of charging stations are achieved, facilitating the rational scheduling and use of energy storage systems. Combined with the platform's recommendation strategies, this maximizes green energy utilization, avoids energy overflow and loss, reduces energy costs, and improves the cost-effectiveness of charging stations.

[0069] Reference Figure 2 The step of periodically generating a charging and discharging monitoring strategy for the next operating cycle of a charging station based on the station's information and historical data using a preset strategy optimization model specifically includes the following steps:

[0070] A1. Generate optional strategies: Periodically generate multiple optional strategies for the next operating cycle of the charging station based on the station information and historical data information through a preset strategy optimization model; the optional strategies include factor prediction information and platform recommended strategies, dynamic control standards, at least one clean charging period, at least one off-peak charging period, and charging and discharging strategy process information; the factor prediction information includes passenger flow prediction information and weather prediction information.

[0071] A2. Simulation Operation: Model the charging station and simulate multiple optional strategies to obtain simulation data;

[0072] A3. Calculate the overall score: Calculate the overall score of each optional strategy based on the simulation data using a pre-set evaluation calculation formula;

[0073] A4. Selection of Charging / Discharging Monitoring Strategy: Each optional strategy is compared and ranked based on its comprehensive score. The strategy with the highest comprehensive score is selected as the charging / discharging monitoring strategy for the next operating cycle of the charging station. Through the above steps, multiple optional strategies are intelligently decided by the strategy optimization model based on the actual situation of the charging station. The charging station is then modeled, and simulations are performed on multiple optional strategies. These simulations cover various scenarios such as power generation, energy storage, charging, and user behavior under different strategies to obtain the execution performance of different strategies. This allows for advance understanding of the strategy's performance in the face of risks and uncertainties. Furthermore, multiple optional strategies are evaluated from multiple dimensions using evaluation calculation formulas, thus selecting the more robust optional strategy as the charging / discharging monitoring strategy for the next operating cycle of the charging station. This helps improve the utilization rate of green energy, avoid energy overflow and loss, reduce energy costs, and improve the cost-effectiveness of the charging station.

[0074] Reference Figure 3 The specific steps for modeling the charging station and simulating multiple optional strategies to obtain simulation data include:

[0075] B1. Model Building: The strategy optimization model constructs a simulation model of the charging station based on the site information;

[0076] B2. Parameter settings: The strategy optimization model sets the parameters of the charging station simulation model based on the charging station's site information and historical data.

[0077] B3. Simulation: The strategy optimization model loads multiple optional strategies into the simulation model of the charging station and runs the simulation for the next operating cycle to obtain simulation data.

[0078] Reference Figure 4 The strategy optimization model loads multiple optional strategies into the simulation model of the charging station and runs the simulation for the next operating cycle of the charging station to obtain simulation data. Specifically, the steps include:

[0079] C1. Strategy Loading: The strategy optimization model selects one unsimulated alternative strategy from multiple alternative strategies and loads it into the simulation model of the charging station.

[0080] C2. Normal operation simulation: The strategy optimization model uses the charging station simulation model to simulate the normal operation of the charging station for the next operating cycle based on factor prediction information to obtain normal operation simulation data.

[0081] C3. Emergency Simulation Operation: The strategy optimization model, based on factor prediction information, again simulates the next operating cycle of the charging station through the charging station's simulation model. During the operation, a predetermined number of strong emergency events are randomly generated based on the charging station's site information and historical data and inserted into the simulation operation to obtain emergency simulation data. The strong emergency events include severe weather events, extreme passenger flow events, and other pre-set types of events.

[0082] C4. Determine if there are any unsimulated alternative strategies;

[0083] C5. If it exists, then proceed to step C1;

[0084] C6. Package and Generate Simulation Data: If not available, package the normal simulation data and the emergency simulation data to generate simulation data. During simulation, normal simulation and emergency simulation are run in parallel. Normal simulation reflects the effectiveness of different strategies for the charging station under predicted passenger flow and weather conditions, while emergency simulation, by randomly inserting strong emergencies, simulates the strategy's ability to cope with emergencies such as severe weather and extreme passenger flow. This comprehensive simulation approach ensures that the generated simulation data more realistically reflects the strategy's performance under various possible conditions, providing a more reliable basis for subsequent comprehensive evaluation.

[0085] The specific formula for the above assessment calculation is as follows:

[0086] Y = X1 × Z1 + X2 × Z2;

[0087] Z1=W1 +W2 +W3 +W4 ;

[0088] Z2=W1 +W2 +W3 +W4 -W5 +W6 +W7 ;

[0089] Where Y is the comprehensive score of the optional strategy, Z1 is the normal simulation operation score, X1 is the normal simulation weight coefficient, Z2 is the emergency simulation operation score, and X2 is the emergency simulation weight coefficient; X1 and X2 are both set by the administrator, and the sum of X1 and X2 is 1; e is the effective output energy, which refers to the total energy successfully output to charge vehicles through the charging pile during the simulated operation period; E is the total input energy, which refers to the sum of the energy generated by the clean power generation equipment and the energy purchased from the grid; u is the number of users whose charging needs are met during the simulated operation period, and U is the total number of vehicles that visit during the simulated operation period; d is the actual charging time of the charging pile, and D is the operating time of the charging pile in the charging station; c is the net charging revenue, and C is the total investment of the charging station; r is the duration of energy supply interruption of the energy storage system during the operation period, and R is the total operating time during the operation period; a is the number of vehicles whose emergency charging needs are met, and A is the number of vehicles whose emergency charging needs are met. denoted as _b_, representing the total number of vehicles with emergency charging needs; _b_, representing the average waiting time for heavy users during severe emergencies; and _B_, representing the pre-set standard waiting time. _W1_ represents the energy utilization efficiency rating coefficient, _W2_, the user satisfaction rating coefficient, _W3_, the equipment utilization rate rating coefficient, _W4_, the cost-effectiveness rating coefficient, _W5_, the risk resistance rating coefficient, _W6_, the emergency charging satisfaction rating coefficient, and _W7_, the user satisfaction rating under emergency conditions. All of these are pre-set by management personnel. By using both normal and emergency simulation data to calculate the comprehensive score, the evaluation of optional strategies becomes more comprehensive and reliable. In actual operation, charging stations face both normal operating scenarios and potential emergencies. Considering the strategy performance under both scenarios comprehensively avoids focusing solely on normal operation while neglecting risk response capabilities, thus selecting a more robust charging and discharging monitoring strategy.

[0090] Meanwhile, the strategy generation and simulation process fully considers uncertainties such as passenger flow forecasts and weather forecasts, and incorporates strong unforeseen events into the simulation to test and optimize the strategy's risk response capabilities. This forward-looking strategy design helps charging stations better cope with various emergencies in actual operation, reducing operational chaos and losses caused by unforeseen events, and improving the stability and reliability of charging stations.

[0091] Reference Figure 5 The real-time monitoring of the energy storage system's status, generating dynamic correction commands according to dynamic control standards, and controlling the energy storage system to perform additional charging and discharging operations specifically includes:

[0092] D1. Monitor the energy storage system to determine whether it is in a clean charging period: Monitor the status of the energy storage system in real time. When the energy storage capacity of the energy storage system is lower than the low energy threshold preset in the dynamic control standard, determine whether it is in a clean charging period.

[0093] D2. If not, determine whether it is in a trough charging period;

[0094] D3. Charge the energy storage system: If in the current state, a dynamic correction command will be generated to enable the off-peak mains power to charge the energy storage system until the pre-set mains power charging threshold in the dynamic control standard is reached or the off-peak charging period ends.

[0095] D4. If not, check whether the power generation of the clean power generation equipment meets the minimum charging requirements of the energy storage system.

[0096] D5. Control the clean power generation equipment to charge the energy storage system: If the condition is met, a dynamic correction command is generated to control the clean power generation equipment to charge the energy storage system until the stored energy reaches the safe energy threshold preset in the dynamic control standard.

[0097] D6. Emergency Charging of the Energy Storage System from the Grid: If this is not possible, the charging supply to the energy storage system will be cut off. Based on the real-time load of the charging station and the interaction protocol with the grid, it will be determined whether to allow the purchase of a small amount of electricity from the grid at off-peak prices for emergency charging of the energy storage system. This ensures the basic operational functions of the energy storage system and the emergency power supply capacity of the charging station. The emergency charging event will be recorded. By monitoring the energy storage system status in real time, changes in the stored capacity can be detected promptly, allowing for rapid responses based on dynamic control standards. Charging can be scheduled according to the characteristics of different time periods (clean energy charging periods, off-peak charging periods), maximizing the utilization of clean energy and off-peak electricity resources. This reduces dependence on traditional grid power and improves the utilization rate of clean energy. It also enables flexible adjustment of the energy storage system's charging and discharging operations, allowing the system to better adapt to changes in the actual operating environment.

[0098] In addition, real-time monitoring of the energy storage system's status also includes: if the energy storage capacity exceeds the pre-set high-capacity threshold in the dynamic control standard, a dynamic correction instruction is generated based on the platform's recommended strategy to update temporary discount information on the charging service platform. When the energy storage capacity is high, to avoid affecting the subsequent collection of clean energy, the platform's recommended strategy generates a dynamic correction instruction to update temporary discount information, attracting users to charge and avoiding the waste of idle clean energy. This allows for flexible adjustment of pricing strategies based on the real-time status of the energy storage system, improving the utilization rate of clean energy, creating a mutually beneficial relationship with users, and increasing user stickiness and satisfaction.

[0099] The process of regularly collecting monitoring data and generating monitoring reports for sending to management personnel includes: periodically collecting monitoring data and importing it into a pre-set monitoring report template; displaying the historical power generation data, passenger flow data, and clean energy utilization rate trends of each charging station in the monitoring report using line graphs or bar charts, with the time span being the unit of operation cycle; and then sending the monitoring report to management personnel. By acquiring multi-dimensional site information and rich historical data, and based on the actual situation of charging stations, this system considers factors such as equipment, geography, passenger flow, clean energy usage, charging and discharging, energy costs, and operations. It fully takes into account various practical factors in charging station operation, uses a strategy optimization model to mine data relationships, and combines this with geographical location weather forecast information to predict passenger flow and charging / discharging status for the next cycle. This intelligently and accurately generates charging / discharging monitoring strategies for the next operating cycle, with strong universality. Furthermore, it optimizes charging station recommendation information, guiding users to consume clean energy at each charging station while meeting their charging needs, ensuring the rational use of clean energy and improving profitability and utilization rates. Based on the charging / discharging monitoring strategy, intelligent control and monitoring of charging stations are achieved, facilitating the rational scheduling and use of energy storage systems. Combined with the platform's recommendation strategies, this maximizes green energy utilization, avoids energy overflow and loss, reduces energy costs, and improves the cost-effectiveness of charging stations.

[0102] The strategy customization module 2 is used to periodically generate charging and discharging monitoring strategies for the next operating cycle of the charging station based on the station information and historical data information of the charging station through a preset strategy optimization model. The strategy optimization model is a neural network model obtained by iterative training through historical data information of multiple charging stations.
