Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of new energy vehicle charging, and in particular relates to a charging station capacity expansion system and method based on energy storage and transformer dynamic load management. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of related technologies such as power batteries and vehicle control software, new energy vehicles are becoming increasingly popular and becoming the preferred means of transportation. In order to meet the increasing demand for charging of new energy vehicles, charging stations of all sizes will be built in various areas of towns and various service areas on highways in the future.

[0003] The core contradictions currently faced by new energy vehicle charging stations are as follows:

[0004] 1. Transformer capacity limitation: The capacity of the charging station transformer is fixed and cannot meet the power demand of more charging guns during the peak charging period. Transformer expansion requires additional investment and time, or some charging station transformers do not have expansion plans.

[0005] 2. Load volatility: The load of charging piles is low during off-peak periods (such as nighttime), and the transformer capacity is idle, but the load is saturated during peak periods (daytime), resulting in a limited number of charging guns. At the same time, during peak charging, due to the displacement of charging vehicles, the charging guns are idle and the charging current of charging vehicles changes, and some transformers are not running at full load.

[0006] Most existing solutions involve directly expanding the transformer capacity and adding charging piles, but such methods are costly and require complicated approvals. Some solutions also attempt to use energy storage systems to reduce peak loads, but such methods do not take into account the dynamic load characteristics of charging stations. Not only is the transformer capacity utilization rate low, but there is also a lack of direct linkage with the charging gun power supply.

[0007] In addition, the added energy storage system has limitations in its use of nighttime valley charging and peak discharge, which prevents the equipment from being fully utilized and fails to maximize the peak-shaving and valley-filling effects of the energy storage system on the transformer capacity, thus extending the equipment investment payback period. Summary of the invention

[0008] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a charging station expansion system and method based on energy storage and transformer dynamic load management. Without modifying the capacity of the existing charging station transformer, the system utilizes energy storage during off-peak periods, discharges during peak periods, and dynamically adjusts the energy storage system and the dynamic load of the transformer during peak periods to absorb and store excess electricity, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the charging station and reducing the cost of expansion.

[0009] In order to solve the above technical problems and achieve the above technical effects, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0010] The charging station expansion system based on energy storage and transformer dynamic load management includes: an energy storage system composed of a battery energy storage module and a boost module, an energy management system (EMS) between the transformer and the energy storage system composed of a transformer load detection module and an energy storage system charge and discharge management module, and a newly added DC charging gun and a charging settlement module; among which,

[0011] The battery energy storage module is responsible for storing electric energy through the charging station transformer and outputting electric energy to the DC charging gun;

[0012] The boost module is responsible for boosting the electric energy output by the battery energy storage module to the charging voltage required by the DC charging gun for external charging;

[0013] The transformer load detection module is responsible for real-time monitoring of the load rate of the transformer of the charging station and each original charging gun;

[0014] The energy storage system charge and discharge management module is responsible for real-time monitoring of the stored power of the battery energy storage module, for judging the current capacity of the transformer according to the measured load rate of the transformer and each original charging gun, for judging the peak and valley period of the current electricity price according to the current time of the charging station, and for taking the obtained stored power, current capacity of the transformer and peak and valley period of the electricity price as reference, and according to a specific dynamic charge and discharge strategy, controlling the battery energy storage module to charge through the charging station transformer when the electricity price is low and the transformer capacity is surplus, or to discharge to the DC charging gun that needs to be charged externally during the peak period of electricity consumption;

[0015] The DC charging gun is equipped with multiple ones, and is responsible for charging the boosted electric energy output by the energy storage system to the new energy vehicle that needs to be charged;

[0016] The charging settlement module is responsible for independently charging the electric energy added by the DC charging gun to the new energy vehicle, and can interact with the main system of the charging station.

[0017] Furthermore, the battery energy storage module includes but is not limited to a lithium-ion battery energy storage module, a sodium-ion battery energy storage module or a flywheel energy storage module.

[0018] Furthermore, the boost module outputs 200-1000V adjustable direct current to adapt to different charging protocols.

[0019] Furthermore, the energy storage system adopts energy storage units in the form of energy storage cabinets, and supports on-demand capacity expansion by connecting multiple cabinets in parallel.

[0020] Furthermore, the transformer load detection module includes but is not limited to using a current sensor or a smart meter.

[0021] Furthermore, the DC charging gun is independent of the original charging gun circuit, is directly powered by the energy storage system after being boosted, and supports fast charging protocols including CCS / CHAdeMO.

[0022] Furthermore, the charging settlement module integrates multiple billing units, supports electricity fee settlement methods including code scanning payment and V2G (vehicle-to-grid interaction), and all of them are interoperable with the main system data of the charging station.

[0023] Furthermore, the specific dynamic charging and discharging strategy follows the priority logic of "transformer capacity is prioritized to ensure the power supply of the original charging gun, and the remaining capacity is allocated to the energy storage system", as follows:

[0024] 1) During the low electricity price period, when the storage capacity of the battery energy storage module is lower than the set external charging allowable value, the battery energy storage module is given priority for recharging;

[0025] 2) During the low electricity price period, when the storage capacity of the battery energy storage module is higher than the set external charging allowable value, and all the existing charging guns are working on external charging, the external charging of the newly added DC charging guns shall be given priority;

[0026] 3) During the low electricity price period, when the battery energy storage module is not fully charged and the original charging gun is idle, the battery energy storage module is given priority for charging;

[0027] 4) During the peak period of electricity prices, when the battery energy storage module is not fully charged, the transformer is not fully loaded, and the original charging gun is idle, the battery energy storage module is given priority for recharging;

[0028] 5) During the peak electricity price period, when the storage capacity of the battery energy storage module is not fully charged but is higher than the set external charging allowable value, and all the original charging guns are working on external charging, the external charging of the newly added DC charging guns shall be given priority.

[0029] Furthermore, the energy storage system charge and discharge management module sets the load rate thresholds of the transformer of the charging station and each original charging gun, and dynamically adjusts the charge and discharge power of the battery energy storage module through a PID algorithm.

[0030] A charging and discharging management method of the above-mentioned charging station expansion system comprises the following steps:

[0031] Step 1: Before the charging station is activated, the external charging allowable value of the battery energy storage module of the energy storage system and the load rate threshold of the transformer and each original charging gun of the charging station are set through the energy storage system charging and discharging management module of the energy management system between the transformer and the energy storage system;

[0032] Step 2: After the charging station is enabled, the energy storage system charge and discharge management module monitors the storage power of the battery energy storage module in real time, and determines the peak and valley period of the current electricity price according to the current time of the charging station;

[0033] Step 3: After the charging station is activated, the transformer load detection module of the energy management system between the transformer and the energy storage system monitors the load rate of the transformer and each original charging gun of the charging station in real time, and then the energy storage system charge and discharge management module calculates the current capacity of the transformer according to the measured load rate of the transformer and each original charging gun;

[0034] Step 4: During the operation of the charging station, the energy storage system charge and discharge management module uses the monitored storage power information, the current electricity price peak and valley period information, and the calculated current transformer capacity information as references, and then controls the battery energy storage module to charge or discharge according to the built-in specific dynamic charge and discharge strategy; the specific strategy is as follows:

[0035] 1) During the low electricity price period, when the storage capacity of the battery energy storage module is lower than the set external charging allowable value, the battery energy storage module is given priority for recharging;

[0036] 2) During the low electricity price period, when the storage capacity of the battery energy storage module is higher than the set external charging allowable value, and all the existing charging guns are working on external charging, the external charging of the newly added DC charging guns shall be given priority;

[0037] 3) During the low electricity price period, when the battery energy storage module is not fully charged and the original charging gun is idle, the battery energy storage module is given priority for charging;

[0038] 4) During the peak period of electricity prices, when the battery energy storage module is not fully charged, the transformer is not fully loaded, and the original charging gun is idle, the battery energy storage module is given priority for recharging;

[0039] 5) During the peak electricity price period, when the storage capacity of the battery energy storage module is not fully charged but is higher than the set external charging allowable value, and all the existing charging guns are working on external charging, the external charging of the newly added DC charging guns shall be given priority;

[0040] Step 5: In the charging mode, the energy storage system charging and discharging management module uses the remaining capacity of the transformer to charge the battery energy storage module. The charging power is calculated by the energy storage system charging and discharging management module according to the real-time load rate of the transformer and each original charging gun and the set load rate threshold through the PID algorithm.

[0041] Step 6: In the external charging mode, the energy storage system charge and discharge management module uses the stored electric energy of the battery energy storage module to discharge externally, and the discharge power is calculated by the energy storage system charge and discharge management module according to the real-time load rate of the transformer and each original charging gun and the set load rate threshold through the PID algorithm;

[0042] Step 7: During the external discharge process, the boost module of the energy storage system boosts the output electric energy to the charging voltage required for the DC charging gun to charge externally, so as to meet the charging needs of the new energy vehicle;

[0043] Step 8: During the external charging process of the DC charging gun, the charging settlement module records the power consumption in real time, and calculates the corresponding charging fee of the DC charging gun after the external charging is completed, and feeds back the power consumption and fee information to the charging station main system.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0045] The present invention can quickly expand the capacity of an existing charging station by adding a battery energy storage system, an energy management system and other DC charging guns in the charging station without modifying the capacity of the existing transformer. The on-site construction is simple, the expansion cost is reduced, the electricity sales volume is increased, and the investment return period is shortened.

[0046] The present invention adopts a specific dynamic charging and discharging strategy and follows the priority logic of "transformer capacity is prioritized to ensure the power supply of the original charging gun, and the remaining capacity is allocated to the energy storage system". When the electricity price is low and the charging station transformer capacity is surplus, the battery energy storage system absorbs the excess power of the charging station transformer for replenishment. When the discharge demand of the charging gun increases, the DC charging gun is directly boosted and discharged, thereby improving the utilization rate of the existing transformer capacity, alleviating charging peak congestion, and improving the operating efficiency of the charging station.
