Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of digital twin technology, and more specifically, to a charging pile control system based on digital twins. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing global awareness of environmental protection, reducing carbon emissions and promoting green travel have become a global consensus. Electric vehicles, as a representative of low-carbon travel, are seeing their widespread adoption become an inevitable trend. To address environmental challenges and energy transition, governments worldwide have introduced policies to support the development of the electric vehicle industry. The rapid growth in the number of electric vehicles has placed higher demands on charging infrastructure, driving the research and application of charging pile control systems.

[0003] Patent publication number CN118082585A discloses a charging pile safety charging control system and method. This system and method can promptly eliminate safety hazards, ensure vehicle charging safety, provide more reasonable safety measures, offer more humanized operation services, and reduce the probability of accidents at charging stations. The charging pile safety charging control system includes an IoT communication gateway, a data preprocessing unit, a charging safety feature model, a risk assessment engine, a strategy distributor, and a scheduling control unit. This invention, through the charging safety control system, comprehensively collects and analyzes data from multiple aspects such as the vehicle, charging pile, and battery in real time. Based on the assessment, it generates control measures to achieve different levels and strategy modes, implementing differentiated adjustment and control for different risk levels, and outputting comprehensive charging strategy control and health reports. This invention is applied to the technical field of safe charging of charging piles.

[0004] The existing charging pile control system mainly has the following problems:

[0005] Without considering dynamic adjustment of feature weights, the model's predictions may be inaccurate because they fail to reflect the constantly changing environment and conditions during charging pile operation. Low-precision predictions may lead managers to rely on incorrect information when making decisions, thus affecting operational efficiency and safety. Failure to dynamically monitor and adjust feature weights may result in excessive maintenance or unnecessary downtime, increasing operating costs. This will affect overall economic benefits and challenge the sustainability of charging pile operation. Existing technologies, without dynamic monitoring and intelligent weight adjustment, may not be able to keep up with the trend of intelligent development, causing the technology to lag behind market demands and hindering industry innovation and progress.

[0006] Failure to effectively analyze and manage the thermal effects of charging piles may lead to prolonged operation of equipment in high-temperature environments; poor heat dissipation of charging piles, increasing the risk of failure, and in severe cases, potentially causing fires or explosions; failure to use thermal conductivity limiting formulas to control heat conduction may result in overheating of charging piles; overheating not only shortens the service life of the equipment but may also cause permanent damage, resulting in costly repairs or replacements; failure to consider the impact of thermal conductivity on temperature means that the safe operation of charging piles cannot be guaranteed; and it increases safety hazards, especially under high loads or extreme environments, potentially threatening users and the surrounding environment.

[0007] Failure to monitor and assess the operating status of charging piles in real time may lead to the neglect of potential risks; potential faults or anomalies may continue to develop without being detected in time, eventually leading to accidents; the lack of a dynamically adjusted risk assessment model makes it impossible to adapt to environmental changes; the operational safety of charging piles under different environmental conditions may not be guaranteed, resulting in excessively high risks in some cases; and the lack of effective risk monitoring and management may lead to the failure to detect potential risks in time, potentially resulting in accidents and increased maintenance costs.

[0008] In view of this, the present invention proposes a charging pile control system based on digital twins to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Clustering algorithms are used to detect outliers in charging pile status data, vehicle information data, environmental data, and safety monitoring data. The identified outliers are then removed to obtain charging pile status dataset, vehicle information dataset, environmental dataset, and safety monitoring dataset.

[0022] The acquired charging pile status dataset, vehicle information dataset, environmental dataset, and safety monitoring dataset are standardized and normalized, and converted into a unified standard normal distribution form according to timestamps to obtain the final charging pile status dataset, vehicle information dataset, environmental dataset, and safety monitoring dataset.

[0024] Calculate the Jaccard similarity between different features in the charging pile status dataset, vehicle information dataset, environmental dataset, and safety monitoring dataset and the charging pile operation data, and assign weights to features in each dataset based on the Jaccard similarity.

[0025] After standardizing and weighting each feature, a quantified charging pile status dataset, vehicle information dataset, environmental dataset, and safety monitoring dataset are formed. These datasets are then fused together using a weighted model to form a comprehensive feature dataset. The charging pile status dataset is denoted as D1, the vehicle information dataset as D2, the environmental dataset as D3, and the safety monitoring dataset as D4.

[0026] The weighted model is: YR=D1·ω1+D2·ω2+D3·ω3+D4·ω4; where YR is the comprehensive feature dataset; ω1 is the weight coefficient of the charging pile status dataset; ω2 is the weight coefficient of the vehicle information dataset; ω3 is the weight coefficient of the environmental dataset; and ω4 is the weight coefficient of the safety monitoring dataset.

[0027] Furthermore, the method of assigning weights to features in each dataset using Jaccard similarity includes:

[0028] Define a time window W. At the end of each time window, collect the latest data from the charging pile status dataset, vehicle information dataset, environmental dataset, and safety monitoring dataset within that window. For each feature in the data, calculate the Jaccard similarity using the latest dataset at the end of time window W. Let the set of values ​​for the charging pile operation data be C and the feature data be F. g The Jaccard similarity calculation formula is: Among them, f g Let J be the set of feature values; J is the similarity score; |f g ∩C| represents the set of feature values ​​f. g The size of the intersection of the set of values ​​C with the charging pile operation data; |f g ∪C| is the set of feature values ​​f g The size of the union of the set of values ​​C of the charging pile operation data;

[0029] Based on the calculated Jaccar similarity, a weight factor σ is assigned to each feature in the charging pile status dataset, vehicle information dataset, environmental dataset, and safety monitoring dataset. h The weighting factor of each feature is adjusted by adjusting the weighting factor of the model.

[0030] The weight factor adjustment model is as follows: Where, σ′ h The adjusted weighting factor; r h To adjust the adjustment coefficient of the h-th weighting factor; This represents the accumulation of the h-th feature over time t′.

[0037] S64, Data-driven module; The data-driven module consists of a status monitoring model, which predicts the operating status of the charging pile.

[0038] Furthermore, the training method for the state monitoring model includes:

[0039] The dataset is divided into training and testing sets to build a status monitoring model. The sample set is a subset of the dataset, and each sample set includes historical charging pile operation data and the corresponding safety status of the charging pile. The input data of the model is the historical charging pile operation data. The output label is the safety status of the charging pile. This status monitoring model is a random forest regressor model.

[0040] Initialize the state monitoring model and set the hyperparameters for the number and depth of trees; train the state monitoring model using the training set, adjust the model's hyperparameters using k-fold cross-validation, and fine-tune the initially set parameters; evaluate the model's performance using the test set data, and use the coefficient of determination to evaluate the difference between the calculated prediction results and the true labels;

[0041] Based on the model performance feedback, the number and depth of trees are adjusted to optimize the model. The model is then retrained using the adjusted hyperparameters. Training stops when the preset model complexity is reached, resulting in the final trained state monitoring model. The trained state monitoring model is then used to predict the current charging pile operation data to determine the safety status of the charging pile.

[0042] Furthermore, the method for optimizing the model by adjusting the number and depth hyperparameters of the trees includes:

[0043] The number and depth of trees are adjusted using a genetic algorithm. During the iteration of the genetic algorithm, the number and depth of the trees corresponding to the chromosome with the highest fitness are recorded as the optimal combination of hyperparameters.

[0044] For the hyperparameters of the number and depth of trees, a minimum threshold for the number of trees and a minimum threshold for the depth are randomly preset; at the same time, a maximum threshold for the number of trees and a maximum threshold for the depth are also randomly preset; the thresholds are gradually increased or decreased until the optimal threshold is found, the performance of the model on the test set is judged, and the optimal hyperparameters of the number and depth of trees are obtained.

[0045] Furthermore, the method for comparing the predicted safety status of the charging pile with a preset safety status threshold for the charging pile to assess whether the safety status of the charging pile meets the standard includes:

[0046] If the predicted safety status of the charging pile matches the preset safety status threshold of the charging pile, then the safety status of the charging pile is deemed to meet the standard.

[0047] If the predicted safety status of the charging pile does not match the preset safety status threshold of the charging pile, the safety status of the charging pile is determined to be substandard.

[0048] Furthermore, the method for optimizing the scheduling and usage strategy of charging piles includes:

[0049] If the charging pile meets the safety standards, the intelligent control terminal of the charging pile will generate a safety command to indicate that the charging pile is in normal condition.

[0051] The non-compliant parameter data includes the power generated during the operation of the charging pile, the non-compliant current, the non-compliant voltage, the charging pile's operating time, and the charging pile's own temperature;

[0052] A charging pile status risk assessment model is constructed based on the non-compliant parameter data. The model is then used to assess the status risk of the charging piles, yielding a status hazard coefficient. The charging pile risk assessment model is as follows: Where RE is the charging pile's state hazard factor; P is the power generated during the charging pile's operation; τ is the substandard current; V' is the substandard voltage; T sf T represents the charging station's operating time. run δ1 is the charging pile's own temperature; δ2 is the power weighting factor generated during the charging pile's operation; δ3 is the substandard current weighting factor; δ4 is the charging pile's operating time weighting factor; and δ5 is the charging pile's own temperature weighting factor.

[0053] The technical effects and advantages of the charging pile control system based on digital twins of the present invention are as follows:

[0054] This invention enables dynamic monitoring of the charging pile's operating status by collecting the latest charging pile status dataset, vehicle information dataset, environmental dataset, and safety monitoring dataset at the end of each time window, thus reflecting the actual situation of the system in a timely manner. By calculating the Jaccard similarity of each feature and assigning weight factors to the features based on this similarity, the feature weights can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual operating conditions, enhancing the model's adaptability to changing environments.

[0055] The finite element method is used to model the thermal behavior of charging piles through heat conduction equations, ensuring effective analysis and management of thermal effects during actual operation. The effectiveness of heat conduction is controlled through thermal conductivity limiting formulas to prevent equipment damage due to overheating. A dynamic response model is constructed, using state-space equations to accurately model the input-output relationship and state changes of the charging pile. This ensures that the dynamic behavior of the charging pile under different conditions is consistent with reality, improving system stability and reliability. By limiting thermal conductivity, the temperature of the charging pile during operation can be effectively controlled, preventing overheating and ensuring that the charging pile operates within a safe range.

[0056] By transforming different parameters into a quantified risk coefficient through the charging pile status risk assessment model, the status risk of charging piles becomes easier to understand and manage. Real-time monitoring and evaluation of the operating status of charging piles can promptly identify potential risks and take necessary early warning measures to reduce the possibility of accidents. The model can be dynamically adjusted based on real-time data to reflect risk changes under different environmental conditions, thereby improving the operational safety of charging piles.

[0111] For example, if the power generated by the charging pile during operation is 2 kilowatts, the substandard current is 5A, the substandard voltage is 300V, the charging pile operation time is 10 hours, the charging pile temperature is 75℃, and δ1 is 0.3, δ2 is 0.3, δ3 is 0.2, δ4 is 0.1, and δ5 is 0.1, then the charging pile's state danger factor is 1.2.

[0112] The preset safety status threshold for charging piles is set by staff. The safety status of different charging piles is collected through the intelligent control terminal of the charging piles, and the average value of the safety status of multiple charging piles is taken as the preset safety status threshold for the charging piles.

[0113] In this embodiment, by collecting the latest charging pile status dataset, vehicle information dataset, environmental dataset, and safety monitoring dataset at the end of each time window, dynamic monitoring of the charging pile's operating status can be achieved, reflecting the actual situation of the system in a timely manner. By calculating the Jaccard similarity of each feature and assigning weight factors to the features based on the similarity, the feature weights can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual operating conditions, enhancing the model's adaptability to changing environments.

[0114] The finite element method is used to model the thermal behavior of charging piles through heat conduction equations, ensuring effective analysis and management of thermal effects during actual operation. The effectiveness of heat conduction is controlled through thermal conductivity limiting formulas to prevent equipment damage due to overheating. A dynamic response model is constructed, using state-space equations to accurately model the input-output relationship and state changes of the charging pile. This ensures that the dynamic behavior of the charging pile under different conditions is consistent with reality, improving system stability and reliability. By limiting thermal conductivity, the temperature of the charging pile during operation can be effectively controlled, preventing overheating and ensuring that the charging pile operates within a safe range.

[0115] By transforming different parameters into a quantified risk coefficient through the charging pile status risk assessment model, the status risk of charging piles becomes easier to understand and manage. Real-time monitoring and evaluation of the operating status of charging piles can promptly identify potential risks and take necessary early warning measures to reduce the possibility of accidents. The model can be dynamically adjusted based on real-time data to reflect risk changes under different environmental conditions, thereby improving the operational safety of charging piles.
