[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the renewable energy power supply system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The renewable energy power supply system 10 is electrically connected to the load 90 and is configured to supply electrical energy to the load 90. In one embodiment, the renewable energy power supply system 10 is electrically connected to the battery 80 and is configured to supply electrical energy to the battery 80. In one embodiment, the load 90 is a DC communication power supply device.

[0056] Structurally, the renewable energy power supply system 10 includes a renewable energy power generation unit 13, a protection device 15, and a plurality of charging devices CG1 to CGj, where j is a positive integer greater than 1. The renewable energy power generation unit 13 is configured to generate a total input voltage VIN and a total input current IIN. The protection device 15 is electrically connected between the renewable energy power generation unit 13 and the plurality of charging devices CG1 to CGj, and is configured to transfer the total input voltage VIN and the total input current IIN, and protect the plurality of charging devices CG1 to CGj from damage caused by overcurrent, overload, and short circuit. The input terminals and output terminals of the plurality of charging devices CG1 to CGj are connected in parallel with each other, and are configured to convert a plurality of input voltages VIN1 to VINj and a plurality of input currents IIN1 to IINj into output voltages V1 to Vj and output currents I1 to Ij respectively, where the sum of the output voltages V1 to Vj is the bus voltage VOUT and the sum of the output currents I1 to Ij is the bus current IOUT. The total input voltage VIN is approximately equal to each of the plurality of input voltages VIN1 to VINj of the plurality of charging devices CG1 to CGj, and the total input current IIN is equal to the sum of the plurality of input currents IIN1 to IINj of the plurality of charging devices CG1 to CGj.

[0057] In this embodiment, one of the plurality of charging devices CG1 to CGj is a main charging device, and the remaining charging devices are slave charging devices. For example, the charging device CG1 is the main charging device, and the charging devices CG2 to CGj are slave charging devices, but it is not limited thereto.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the charging device CGi according to an embodiment of the present invention. The charging device CGi is used to represent Figure 1 one of the charging devices CG1 to CGj, where i is a positive integer and 1 ≤ i ≤ j.

[0059] Structurally, the charging device CGi includes a first conversion circuit 21, a relay capacitor, a second conversion circuit 22, and a control circuit 23i. The first conversion circuit 21 is electrically connected Figure 1 to the protection device 15, the second conversion circuit 22, and the control circuit 23i, and is configured to convert the input voltage VINi and the input current IINi into a relay voltage VMi and a relay current IMi according to a first control signal C1i. One end of the relay capacitor is electrically connected between the first conversion circuit 21 and the second conversion circuit 22, and the other end of the relay capacitor is electrically connected to the ground terminal. The relay capacitor is configured to store the electrical energy of the relay voltage VMi and the relay current IMi.

The charging device CGi of this embodiment adopts a two-stage converter, which can simultaneously achieve the regulation of the input end and the output end of the charging device CGi.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a flowchart of the control method 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The control method 30 is applicable to Figure 1 the renewable energy power supply system 10. The control method 30 can be compiled into code and is configured to instruct a plurality of charging devices CG1~CGj to execute the steps S31 to S34 included in the control method 30.

[0061] Step S31: Collect a plurality of current powers through all the charging devices to calculate the current system total power.

[0062] Step S32: Through the main charging device, perform maximum power point tracking according to the current system total power to calculate a plurality of MPPT parameters and transmit them to all the charging devices.

[0063] Step S33: Through all the charging devices, calculate the target power according to the plurality of current powers respectively.

[0064] Step S34: Through all the charging devices, calculate the perturbation component and the control command according to the plurality of MPPT parameters and the target power respectively.

[0065] Step S35: Through all the charging devices, control the output current and the output voltage according to the control command respectively. Return to step S31.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figure 2 the control circuit 23i may include an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a micro control circuit (MCU), a server, or other arithmetic circuits or components with functions such as data access, data calculation, data storage, data transmission and reception, or similar functions, and can be used to execute the control method 30.

[0067] Please also refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4It is the operation timing diagram of the control method 30 according to the embodiments of the present invention. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the charging device CG1 is the main charging device, and the remaining charging devices CG2 to CGj are slave charging devices.

[0068] In step S31, the main charging device CG1 collects the multiple current powers P1 to Pj of all the charging devices CG1 to CGj in the renewable energy power supply system 10 to calculate the total current power.

[0069] In step S32, the main charging device CG1 performs maximum power point tracking according to the current total system power to calculate multiple MPPT parameters and transmits them to all the charging devices.

[0070] In step S33, all the charging devices CG1 to CGj calculate the target powers P1_target to Pj_target respectively according to the multiple current powers P1 to Pj. In the first embodiment, it is assumed that the rated powers (or maximum operating powers) of the multiple charging devices CG1 to CGj are the same. Then, all the charging devices CG1 to CGj calculate the target power according to the following formula (1).

[0071] Formula (1)

[0072] In formula (1), Pi_target is the target power of the i-th charging device CGi, Pi = VINi × IINi is the current power of the i-th charging device CGi, VINi is the input voltage of the i-th charging device CGi, IINi is the input current of the i-th charging device CGi, j is the number of charging devices, and i and j are positive integers and 1 ≤ i ≤ j. According to formula (1), it can be seen that on the premise that the rated powers are the same, the target powers P1_target to Pj_target of the multiple charging devices CG1 to CGj are the average value of the current total system power.

[0073] For example, assume that there are only two charging devices. The current power of the main charging device CG1 is 200 W (watts), and the current power of the slave charging device CG2 is 100 W. And the rated powers of the charging devices CG1 and CG2 are both 200 W. In this case, the target powers of the charging devices CG1 and CG2 are (200 + 100) / 2 = 150 W to evenly distribute the output power of each charging device.

[0074] In the second embodiment, it is assumed that the rated powers (or maximum operating powers) of the multiple charging devices CG1 to CGj are not all the same. Then, all the charging devices CG1 to CGj calculate the target power according to the following formula (2).

[0075] Formula (2)

[0076] In equation (2), Pi_target is the target power of the i-th charging device CGi, Pi is the current power of the i-th charging device CGi, Pi_rated is the rated power of the i-th charging device CGi, and j is the number of charging devices. According to the above equation (2), the main charging device CG1 calculates the proportion of the rated power of each charging device in the total rated power, and multiplies the total current power by this proportion to calculate the target power of each charging device.

[0077] For example, assume there are only two charging devices. The current power of the main charging device CG1 is 50W, and the current power of the slave charging device CG2 is 100W. Then the total current power is 50 + 100 = 150W. Assume the rated power of the main charging device CG1 is 200W, and the rated power of the slave charging device CG2 is 100W. Then the proportion of the rated power of the main charging device CG1 is And the proportion of the rated power of charging device 110B is According to equation (2), the target power P1_target of the main charging device CG1 can be calculated as And the target power P2_target of the slave charging device CG2 is To distribute the output power of each charging device according to the proportion of the rated power.

[0078] In step S34, all charging devices CG1 to CGj calculate the perturbation component and the control command according to multiple MPPT parameters and the target power. In one embodiment, the multiple MPPT parameters include the perturbation direction parameter DIR, the slope parameter SLP, and the perturbation amplitude ΔXsys_step of the MPPT. The perturbation amplitude ΔXsys_step is the system step size of each MPPT adjustment period, and is set or allocated by the main charging device. In another embodiment, the perturbation amplitude ΔXsys_step is preset in the built-in memory of each charging device.

[0079] All charging devices CG1 to CGj calculate the perturbation component according to the following equation (3).

[0080] Equation (3)

[0081] In equation (3), ΔXi is the perturbation component of the i-th charging device CGi, and Pi_base is the base power of the i-th charging device CGi; if the rated power of each charging device is the same, then the base power Pi_base is the average value of the current total system power; if the rated power of each charging device is not the same, then the base power Pi_base is the rated power Pi_rated.

[0082] Next, step S34 further includes: all the charging devices CG1 to CGj calculate the control command Yi according to the disturbance component, a plurality of MPPT parameters, and the previous control command Yi_prev. Specifically, all the charging devices CG1 to CGj calculate the control command Yi according to the following formula (4).

[0083] Formula (4) Yi = (ΔXi + ΔXconst_step) × DIR × SLP + Yi_prev.

[0084] In formula (4), Yi is the control command of the i-th charging device CGi, ΔXi is the disturbance component of the i-th charging device CGi, ΔXconst_step is the fixed amplitude, DIR is the direction parameter, SLP is the slope parameter, and Yi_prev is the previous control command of the i-th charging device CGi in the previous MPPT cycle.

[0085] In one embodiment, when the renewable energy power supply system 10 uses the perturbation and observation method to find the maximum power point (MPP) output, the disturbance component ΔXi, the disturbance amplitude ΔXsys_step, the fixed amplitude ΔXconst_step, the control command Yi, and the previous control command Yi_prev are all voltage signals.

[0086] In one embodiment, when performing maximum power tracking, if the direction parameter DIR is 1, then the charging device CGi increases the control command Yi; if the MPPT adjustment direction parameter DIR is -1, then the charging device CGi decreases the control command Yi. If the main charging device CG1 determines that the power needs to be increased in the next MPPT cycle, then the slope parameter SLP is 1; if the main charging device CG1 determines that the power needs to be decreased in the next MPPT cycle, then the slope parameter SLP is -1. In addition, various MPPT control methods have been proposed currently, such as the perturbation and observation method, the incremental conductance method, the current scanning method, etc. In this embodiment, taking the perturbation and observation method as an example, the control circuit of the charging device will slightly increase or decrease the voltage in each MPPT adjustment cycle, and measure the current power of the charging device. If the current power increases, the control circuit continues to adjust the voltage in the same direction until the current power does not increase.

[0087] Finally, in step S35, all the charging devices CG1 to CGj respectively control the output currents I1 to Ij and the output voltages V1 to Vj according to the control commands Y1 to Yj. Specifically, step S35 further includes: all the charging devices CG1 to CGj respectively generate first control signals C11 to C1j according to the control commands Y1 to Yj, the input voltages VIN1 to VINj, and the input currents IIN1 to IINj to perform power regulation on the input end; and generate second control signals C21 to C2j according to the input voltage stabilization command Vstable, the relay voltages VM1 to VMj, the output currents I1 to Ij, and the output voltages V1 to Vj to perform power regulation on the output end.

[0088] In an embodiment, step S32 further includes: the main charging device CG1 transmits the synchronization timing to all the charging devices CG1 to CGj. Therefore, in step S35, all the charging devices CG1 to CGj respectively control the plurality of output currents I1 to Ij and the plurality of output voltages V1 to Vj under the synchronization timing to synchronously regulate the power.

[0089] In this way, the control method 30 can be applied to the renewable energy power supply system 10 in which a plurality of charging devices CG1 to CGj are connected in parallel. There is no need to develop different power wattage charging devices separately, which can increase the flexibility of system planning. Moreover, the plurality of charging devices CG1 to CGj simultaneously have the capabilities of MPPT, input end and output end power regulation.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is a functional block diagram of the parallel connection of the main control circuit and the slave control circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the control circuit 231 is the main control circuit in the main charging device CG1, and the control circuits 232 to 23j are the slave control circuits in the slave charging devices CG2 to CGj, but it is not limited thereto.

The MPPT unit 50 is electrically connected to a plurality of charging devices CG1 to CGj, and is configured to collect a plurality of current powers P1 to Pj from all the charging devices CG1 to CGj, and generate a direction parameter DIR, a slope parameter SLP, and a perturbation amplitude ΔXsys_step based thereon. Then, the MPPT unit 50 transmits the direction parameter DIR, the slope parameter SLP, and the perturbation amplitude ΔXsys_step to all the first arithmetic units 51. In addition, the MPPT unit 50 transmits synchronous timing to all the first arithmetic units 51 to synchronize power regulation. In one embodiment, only the main control circuit 231 is provided with the MPPT unit 50. In another embodiment, all the control circuits 231 to 23j include MPPT units, but only the MPPT unit 50 of the main control circuit 231 is enabled, and the MPPT units 50 of the remaining slave control circuits 232 to 23j are disabled; in this case, when the main control circuit 231 fails, the MPPT unit 50 of one slave control circuit can be enabled as an alternative main control circuit.

[0092] All the control circuits 231 to 23j adopt the same circuit structure to implement power regulation.

[0093] If the rated powers of all the charging devices CG1 to CGj are the same, then the first arithmetic unit 51 is configured to calculate the target power P1_target according to formula (1). If the rated powers of the charging devices CG1 to CGj are not the same, then the first arithmetic unit 51 is configured to calculate the target power P1_target according to formula (2). Then, the first arithmetic unit 51 is configured to calculate the disturbance component ΔX1 according to the current power P1, the target power P1_target, the direction parameter DIR, the slope parameter SLP, the disturbance amplitude ΔXsys_step, and formula (3).

[0094] The register 58 is configured to store the fixed amplitude ΔXconst_step. The second arithmetic unit 52 is electrically connected to the first arithmetic unit 51 and the register 58, and is configured to calculate the control command Y1 according to the disturbance component ΔX1, the fixed amplitude ΔXconst_step, the previous control command Y1_prev, the direction parameter DIR, the slope parameter SLP, and formula (4), and then feedback the control command Y1 to itself and store it as the previous control command Y1_prev. The subtractor S1 is electrically connected to the input end of the charging device CG1, and is configured to subtract the control command Y1 from the input voltage VIN1 to generate a first voltage compensation. The PI controller 53 is electrically connected to the subtractor S2, and is configured to convert the first voltage compensation into a first current value.

The PI controller 54 is electrically connected to the subtractor S2, and is configured to convert the first current compensation into a first control signal C11 and input it to the first conversion circuit 21.

[0095] The register 59 is configured to store the input regulated voltage command Vstable. The subtractor S3 is electrically connected to the register 59, the output end of the first conversion circuit 21, and the relay capacitor, and is configured to subtract the relay voltage VM1 from the input regulated voltage command Vstable to generate a regulated voltage compensation. The PI controller 55 is electrically connected to the subtractor S3, and is configured to convert the regulated voltage compensation into a second current value.
