Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of direct current bidirectional buck-boost technology, and in particular to a flexible direct current bidirectional buck-boost system architecture method. Background Art

[0002] Adding a bidirectional main control optimizer to the main control box of a traditional battery cluster can realize bidirectional energy flow under boost / step-down, realize free matching and combination of modules within the battery cluster, and be compatible with flexible combination of battery PACK modules, which is convenient for charge and discharge management and protection of the battery cluster; for multi-cluster parallel battery cluster systems.

[0003] At present, the DC solutions on the market are relatively traditional. When the DC bus of multiple battery clusters is connected in parallel, the inconsistent SOC and voltage lead to unbalanced charging and discharging capacity, as well as bias current and circulating current, resulting in the "short board effect". The inconsistent SOC leads to the inability to fully charge or discharge each battery cluster, and the capacity cannot be fully utilized, and the application scenarios are relatively single. Summary of the invention

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a flexible DC bidirectional buck-boost system architecture method, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: The number of battery modules can be flexibly configured in a single battery cluster: the battery modules are connected to form a battery cluster, battery cluster RACK1, ... N, and the + poles are connected in parallel with the + poles, and the - poles are connected in parallel with the - poles to share the DC bus through the output of the main control optimizer, so as to realize the bidirectional flow of energy under boost / buck;

[0007] Step 2, battery cluster system: multiple battery clusters are connected in parallel to form a battery cluster system, which is used to control active balancing between battery clusters and can realize parallel operation of battery clusters with different rated voltages;

[0008] Step 3: Power isolation: Power isolation is performed between clusters in the battery cluster system to solve the "short board effect" between clusters in the battery cluster, greatly improving the actual available capacity of the battery stack.

[0009] Preferably, in the step three, when the DC buses of multiple battery clusters are connected in parallel, the SOC and voltage are inconsistent, resulting in unbalanced charge and discharge capacity, as well as bias current and circulating current, resulting in the short board effect.

[0010] Preferably, a main control box is arranged inside the battery cluster, and the inside of the main control box is connected to the DC bus by input connector B+ / B- terminals, isolating switch, fuse, Hall, main positive KM1, main negative KM2, pre-charge KM3 DC contactor, main control optimizer, main positive KM4 DC contactor and output terminals.

[0011] Preferably, the B+ / B- connection terminal on the left side of the main control box is connected to the battery pack, and passes through the isolating switch, fuse, Hall, main positive KM1, main negative KM2, and pre-charge KM3 DC contactor to the input side of the main control optimizer. The output of the main control optimizer is connected to the output main positive KM4 DC contactor to the P+ / P- output terminal, and the output terminal is connected to the DC bus.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. Adding a master control optimizer in the battery cluster to realize the bidirectional flow of energy under boost / buck to realize the flexible DC bidirectional buck-boost system solution architecture;

[0014] Second, the number of battery modules can be flexibly configured in a single battery cluster;

[0015] 3. Achieve active balancing between battery clusters, and even achieve parallel operation of battery clusters with different rated voltages;
