Description

A method for stability control of parallel operation of energy storage inverters Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage inverter technology, specifically to a method for controlling the stability of parallel operation of energy storage inverters. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional power systems, electricity typically originates from centralized power plants and is dispatched and distributed through the power grid. However, in remote areas, due to the high costs of grid construction and maintenance, these regions often rely on energy storage systems and distributed energy systems for power. To ensure the efficient and stable operation of the system, parallel operation of energy storage inverters has gradually become an important means of solving this problem, especially when load demand fluctuates greatly and the supply of renewable energy is unstable.

[0003] Parallel operation of energy storage inverters can improve the reliability and stability of the system, but in practical applications, many challenges still exist. In particular, when faced with large load fluctuations, uneven load demand, and fluctuations in renewable energy power generation, existing parallel control methods for energy storage inverters are still insufficient in terms of system stability and reliability. At the same time, traditional methods for power allocation to energy storage inverters often ignore the health status of the inverters, leading to some inverters operating under overload or being idle, which affects the stability of the system.

[0004] To address this, a stability control method for parallel operation of energy storage inverters is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stability control method for parallel operation of energy storage inverters. This method trains a load prediction model based on historical load data and environmental data of a first region to obtain the predicted load demand and total load demand of the first region within a first time period. Based on historical power generation data of renewable energy sources within the first region, it predicts the total power generation output within the first time period. When the total power generation output exceeds the total load demand, excess electricity is stored through the energy storage inverters. When the total power generation output is less than the total load demand, the energy storage inverters discharge to provide supplementary power. The method also acquires the operating status of the energy storage inverters in real time, and when one or more energy storage inverters fail, a fault isolation mechanism is used to disconnect the faulty energy storage inverter from the parallel group. Furthermore, it acquires the health status of the remaining energy storage inverters and allocates output power to each energy storage inverter. Finally, it adjusts the power allocation strategy of the energy storage inverters in real time according to the predicted load demand.

[0059] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] Example 1

[0061] As one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the present invention provides a method for stability control of parallel operation of energy storage inverters, the technical solution of which is as follows:

[0062] A load prediction model is trained based on historical load data and environmental data of the first region. The load prediction model is used to predict the load demand of the first region in the first time period to obtain the predicted load demand and the total load demand in the first time period. The first time period is consistent with the time range of the predicted load demand.

[0063] Based on historical power generation data of renewable energy in the first region, the total power generation output is predicted and obtained in the first time period.

[0064] Furthermore, the historical load data and environmental data are load demand, temperature, humidity, wind speed, solar radiation intensity, and rainfall within the same time period;

[0065] The power generation data refers to the power generation output data within the same time period;

[0066] The historical load data, environmental data, and power generation data include load curves and environmental curves at different time scales; the load curves at different time scales include hourly, daily, and monthly load curves.

[0067] The historical load data, environmental data, and power generation data were obtained from the power company and weather station in the first region.

[0068] In this embodiment, the present invention fuses data from multiple time scales, including hours, days, and months, capturing both short-term fluctuations and long-term trends to ensure the comprehensiveness of the prediction results. Furthermore, the use of historical operational and meteorological data obtained from power companies and weather stations ensures the accuracy of the data, laying the foundation for model training and health status assessment of energy storage inverters.

[0069] Furthermore, the load prediction model includes a historical load data analysis unit, an environmental data analysis unit, a time characteristic analysis unit, and a load prediction unit;

[0070] The historical load data analysis unit analyzes historical load data through moving averages to obtain load data information; the load data information includes long-term load trends and load cycles.

[0071] The environmental data analysis unit obtains the correlation between environmental factors and load demand through correlation analysis;

[0072] The time feature analysis unit generates time tags by dividing the time window;

[0073] The load forecasting unit generates load forecasting demand by comprehensively analyzing the load data information, the correlation between environmental factors and load demand, and the time stamp, and then smooths the load forecasting demand to obtain the load demand forecast value.

[0074] In this invention, the load prediction model divides data analysis into different functional units, which facilitates system integration; by integrating multiple data sources such as historical load, environmental factors and time characteristics, the prediction model's ability to process multi-dimensional information is improved; and the prediction results are smoothed to effectively reduce noise interference caused by short-term fluctuations, making subsequent scheduling more stable and reliable.

[0075] Furthermore, the load prediction model includes a data preprocessing unit, an LSTM model training unit, and a load prediction unit;

[0076] The data preprocessing unit includes data cleaning, standardization, and feature extraction; it extracts time features, lag features, and moving averages.

[0077] The LSTM model training unit includes an input layer, hidden layers, fully connected layers, and an output layer. The input layer contains multi-dimensional feature vectors of historical load data and environmental data. The hidden layer includes two LSTM hidden layers, each containing 50 LSTM units, used to obtain complex time dependencies and nonlinear features. The fully connected layer generates the final load prediction value by connecting the output of the LSTM layers to a fully connected layer. The output layer outputs the load demand prediction values ​​for multiple future time points. In this embodiment, n is 2 and m is 50.

[0078] The load prediction unit is used to obtain the total load demand and smooth the total load demand.

[0079] The total power output is obtained by predicting the power generation data using an LSTM network.

[0080] To further illustrate the advantages of the above LSTM model in load forecasting, Table 1 below shows the comparison results of the present invention with other traditional forecasting methods in terms of forecasting accuracy and computational performance.

[0081] Table 1 Load Forecast Accuracy

[0082] Method MAPE (%) Prediction Time (s) Invention 2.1 0.15 Linear Regression 7.9 0.06 Traditional RNN 5.6 0.08 surface

[0083] As shown in Table 1, under the same dataset and hardware testing environment, the LSTM model used in this invention has a significant improvement in prediction accuracy, while the prediction time remains within an acceptable range.

[0084] Determine if the total power generation output exceeds the total load demand; when the total power generation output exceeds the total load demand, store the excess power through the energy storage inverter; when the total power generation output is less than the total load demand, provide supplementary power by discharging through the energy storage inverter.

[0085] The specific process by which the energy storage inverter discharges to provide supplementary power is as follows:

[0086] The system acquires the operating status of the energy storage inverter in real time and determines whether the energy storage inverter has a fault. When one or more energy storage inverters fail, a fault isolation mechanism is used to disconnect the faulty energy storage inverter from the parallel group and obtain the health status of the remaining energy storage inverters. When no energy storage inverters fail, the system obtains the health status of the energy storage inverters.

[0087] Furthermore, the specific steps to determine if an energy storage inverter has malfunctioned are as follows:

[0088] The collected operating parameters of each energy storage inverter are converted into digital signals and preprocessed, synchronized, and stored; the operating parameters include voltage, current, frequency, temperature, power factor, and harmonic content;

[0089] Anomalies are determined by comparing real-time operating parameters with preset operating parameter safety thresholds; the anomaly determination includes single-parameter anomalies and multi-parameter anomalies.

[0090] Parameter correlation analysis is performed on the anomaly determination to confirm the anomaly.

[0091] The safety thresholds are referenced from the technical manuals of energy storage inverter manufacturers and industry standards, and are also statistically optimized based on long-term operational data of this system in remote areas. First, the upper and lower limits of each parameter are initially determined based on standards such as rated voltage, upper temperature limit, and harmonic content. Then, by combining a large amount of historical data collected during actual operation, the fluctuation ranges of each parameter under normal and fault conditions are compared and analyzed to calibrate the accuracy of the thresholds. If necessary, multi-level warning and alarm ranges can be set for key parameters such as voltage, current, and temperature. For example, a 5% deviation of the voltage from the rated value triggers a minor alarm, while a deviation exceeding 10% is considered a serious anomaly. For harsh operating environments or environments with large load fluctuations, the safety thresholds can be updated periodically through an online learning mechanism to ensure accurate identification and timely warning of potential faults even as the inverter ages or the external environment changes.

[0092] Compared to traditional methods that only monitor voltage or current, this invention monitors multiple dimensions of information, including voltage, current, frequency, temperature, power factor, and harmonic content, making fault identification more accurate. Furthermore, by determining anomalies through single or multiple parameters and confirming faults through correlation analysis, it effectively reduces false alarms and missed alarms, thereby enhancing system safety and fault self-healing capabilities.

[0093] To further illustrate the advantages of the multi-parameter fault detection method in terms of accuracy and false alarm rate, Table 2 below provides comparative data between the present invention and different single-parameter or dual-parameter detection methods.

[0094] Table 2 Fault Detection Sensitivity

[0095] Fault Detection Method Detection Rate (%) False Alarm Rate (%) This Invention (Multi-Parameter Fault Detection) 98.0 1.0 Voltage monitoring only 81.3 3.9 Voltage and current monitoring 88.2 2.4 Output power monitoring only 85.7 3.1 surface

[0096] As shown in Table 2, the multi-parameter monitoring of the present invention has better performance in terms of detection rate and false alarm rate compared with single-parameter or dual-parameter monitoring, which greatly improves the accuracy and timeliness of fault identification.

[0097] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the health of an energy storage inverter is as follows:

[0098]

[0099] Where, α V For voltage weighting, V is the current output voltage, V nominal The rated output voltage, V max V is the upper limit of voltage. min As the lower limit of voltage, α I For current weighting, I is the current output current, I max For the rated output current, α f The output frequency weight is f, where f is the current output frequency. nominal The rated frequency is Δf, which is the allowable frequency deviation range, and α is the frequency. T For temperature weighting, HI T For temperature, α PT The power factor weight is PT, where PT is the current power factor, and α is the weight. HD The harmonic distortion rate weights are α, HD is the current harmonic distortion rate, and α is the harmonic distortion rate weight. OT The weighting is the runtime, where OT is the cumulative runtime, e is the natural constant, λ is the runtime decay coefficient, and α is the runtime weighting factor. FC Here, FC represents the number of failures, μ represents the failure rate decay coefficient, and T represents the current internal temperature. max This represents the upper limit of the temperature range.

[0100] The health calculation formula for energy storage inverters provided by this invention quantifies the health status of each energy storage inverter, providing a scientific basis for subsequent dynamic power allocation; and by weighting and dynamically adjusting key parameters for different scenarios, the health assessment process becomes more adaptable.

[0101] The output power is allocated to each parallel energy storage inverter based on the health status of the energy storage inverter; and the power allocation strategy of the energy storage inverter is adjusted in real time according to the predicted load demand.

[0102] Furthermore, the specific process for allocating output power to each parallel energy storage inverter is shown in Figure 3;

[0103] S10. Normalize the health of each energy storage inverter to obtain the first health of the energy storage inverter;

[0104] S20. Based on the first health status, calculate the first output power allocated to each energy storage inverter;

[0105] S30. Determine whether the first output power exceeds the rated power of the energy storage inverter;

[0106] S40. If an output power does not exceed the rated power, the operation shall be performed according to the allocated power.

[0107] S50. If the first output power exceeds the rated power, obtain the second output power that exceeds the range; obtain the first energy storage inverter that does not exceed the rated power, and allocate output power to the first energy storage inverter according to the second output power;

[0108] S60. Obtain the output power of all energy storage inverters and obtain the output power matrix.

[0109] This invention can reduce the load or reserve capacity of inverters with high health status by allocating more power to inverters with low health status, thereby effectively improving the overall system efficiency and extending the equipment life. When a new energy storage inverter is added or a faulty unit is removed, the system can automatically complete the normalization and redistribution.

[0110] Furthermore, the process of obtaining the allocated output power of each parallel energy storage inverter also includes:

[0111] The health status of each energy storage inverter is acquired in real time, and the output power matrix is ​​dynamically adjusted based on the health status.

[0112] The output power of the energy storage inverter is adjusted according to the output power matrix.

[0113] Based on the load forecast demand at different time scales output by the load forecast model in the first time period, the power allocation strategy is adjusted in advance; the adjustment strategy includes:

[0114] S100. Based on the load curves of the predicted load demand at different time scales, prioritize allocating a higher proportion of output power to the energy storage inverter with higher health.

[0115] S200. Based on the real-time health status changes of the energy storage inverters, dynamically optimize the power allocation ratio of each energy storage inverter to ensure the overall efficiency and stability of the system operation;

[0116] S300. When a significant increase in future load demand is predicted, the output power of a healthy energy storage inverter is increased in advance to meet the growth in load demand.

[0117] S400. When it is predicted that the future load demand will decrease, the output power of some energy storage inverters will be reduced or energy storage charging operations will be performed to optimize energy utilization efficiency.

[0118] In this embodiment, by combining real-time health status and prediction models, the output power matrix can be automatically corrected during system operation, improving the ability to adapt to sudden events and demand fluctuations; based on the predicted load and power generation, the system can perform advance scheduling to avoid energy waste or load collapse caused by delayed response.

[0119] This invention achieves high-precision prediction of load demand and renewable energy generation by combining Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and introduces multi-parameter fault detection and inverter health assessment mechanisms into the parallel operation control of energy storage inverters. First, the LSTM model improves the accuracy of load and power generation predictions because it can capture the nonlinearity and long-short-term dependencies in time-series data. Second, addressing the diverse fault risks often faced by inverters in remote areas, this invention monitors and performs correlation analysis on multi-dimensional parameters such as voltage, current, frequency, temperature, and harmonics to identify single or multiple parameter anomalies and quickly isolates faulty inverters after a fault occurs, minimizing the impact on the system. Furthermore, the overall operating status of the inverters is quantified through a health calculation formula, and a flexible power allocation strategy is implemented based on the health status of each inverter, allocating smaller loads or reserving power to inverters with low health status, thereby improving system efficiency and extending equipment lifespan. Finally, by acquiring health status in real time and dynamically adjusting power based on load forecast demand, this invention achieves high efficiency and safety of energy storage systems even in remote areas with limited resources and complex operating environments.

The load prediction model is used to predict the load demand of the first region in the first time period to obtain the predicted load demand and the total load demand in the first time period.

[0122] Based on historical power generation data of renewable energy in the first region, the total power generation output is predicted and obtained in the first time period.

[0123] Determine if the total power generation output exceeds the total load demand; when the total power generation output exceeds the total load demand, store the excess power through the energy storage inverter; when the total power generation output is less than the total load demand, provide supplementary power by discharging through the energy storage inverter.

[0124] The specific process by which the energy storage inverter discharges to provide supplementary power is as follows:

[0125] The system acquires the operating status of the energy storage inverter in real time and determines whether the energy storage inverter has a fault. When one or more energy storage inverters fail, a fault isolation mechanism is used to disconnect the faulty energy storage inverter from the parallel group and obtain the health status of the remaining energy storage inverters. When no energy storage inverters fail, the system obtains the health status of the energy storage inverters.

[0126] Furthermore, the specific steps to determine if an energy storage inverter has malfunctioned are as follows:

[0128] Anomalies are determined by comparing real-time operating parameters with preset operating parameter safety thresholds; the anomaly determination includes single-parameter anomalies and multi-parameter anomalies.

[0129] Parameter correlation analysis is performed on the anomaly determination to confirm the anomaly.

[0130] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the health of an energy storage inverter is as follows:

[0143] Among them, P i Let HI be the first output power corresponding to the i-th energy storage inverter. i Let P be the health status of the i-th energy storage inverter, N be the total number of energy storage inverters, and P be the health status of the i-th energy storage inverter. total Total output power;

[0144] S30. Determine whether the first output power exceeds the rated power of the energy storage inverter;

[0148] Power is allocated to the five energy storage inverters provided in Table 3, with data referenced in Table 4;

[0149] As can be seen from Table 4, inverters with high health ratings can handle a larger power distribution with almost no overload; inverters with low health ratings can handle a relatively smaller power distribution or are prone to overload when the system pressure increases, thus highlighting the rationality and safety of the health-driven distribution strategy.
