[0029] In the field of new energy and power systems, energy storage inverters are key devices that connect energy storage systems to power grids. The stability and reliability of their performance are crucial to ensuring the safe operation of power grids and improving the utilization of new energy. In order to ensure that energy storage inverters can meet design requirements and industry standards, they must be comprehensively and rigorously tested.

[0030] Traditional energy storage inverter testing methods often rely on manual operation and experience judgment. The test items may not be comprehensive enough, and the test results are easily affected by human factors, lacking objectivity and consistency. They also focus on the verification of a single function or indicator and lack a comprehensive testing system, making it difficult to meet the high requirements of energy storage inverters in complex and changeable power grid environments.

[0031] In order to solve the above technical defects, the inventor provides a method, system and computer equipment for testing an energy storage converter.

[0032] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for testing an energy storage converter, such as Figure 1 As shown, including: S101, obtain energy storage converter test samples; illustratively, first, take the energy storage converter actually used in the power grid as the acquisition scope, combine the actual needs of the power grid operation and the application scenarios of the energy storage converter in the power grid, select a certain number of energy storage converters as test samples, and in the selection process, fully consider the representativeness, diversity and typicality of the energy storage converter to ensure that the test results can fully reflect the actual performance of the energy storage converter in the power grid, and stratified sampling can be carried out according to the power level, technical route, manufacturer, application years and other factors of the energy storage converter to ensure that the test samples can cover the main types and characteristics of the energy storage converter in the power grid. Then determine the specifications and configurations of the required energy storage converter test samples, including power level, input and output voltage range, control strategy and communication interface, etc., to ensure that the test samples can meet the requirements of the power grid operation test. Among them, the power level is to ensure that the test samples can cover the energy storage inverters with different power requirements in the power grid; the input and output voltage range is to verify the performance of the energy storage inverter at different voltage levels; the control strategy is to examine the response speed and accuracy of the energy storage inverter to the power grid instructions; the communication interface is to ensure that the test samples can communicate and interact effectively with the test system and other equipment. By clarifying these specifications and configurations, it can be ensured that the test samples can meet the requirements of the power grid operation test and provide strong support for subsequent testing work.

[0033] S102. Using the test platform, perform basic performance test, protection function test, grid-connected and island operation test and fault ride-through capability test on the test samples to obtain test data; illustratively, the basic performance test includes efficiency test, harmonic test and dynamic response test; the protection function test includes over / under voltage protection test and overcurrent protection test; the grid-connected and island operation test includes grid-connected synchronization test and voltage and frequency control test in island mode; the fault ride-through capability test includes low voltage ride-through test and high voltage ride-through test. Among them, during the efficiency test, by measuring the input and output power of the energy storage converter at different power levels, its energy conversion efficiency can be accurately calculated, and the performance of the energy storage converter under different working conditions can be fully understood, providing accurate data support for optimizing design and improving efficiency; at the same time, the results of the efficiency test can reveal the energy loss of the energy storage converter at different power levels. By analyzing these data, the main sources of energy loss, such as resistance loss and switching loss, can be identified, so as to optimize the design in a targeted manner, reduce energy loss, and improve the overall efficiency of the system. As a key component of the energy storage system, the energy conversion efficiency of the energy storage converter directly affects the operating cost of the system. Through efficiency testing, energy storage converters with higher energy conversion efficiency can be selected to reduce the energy consumption of the system, reduce operating costs, and improve economic benefits. During the harmonic test, Fourier transform is a powerful mathematical tool that can convert signals from the time domain to the frequency domain, thereby accurately analyzing the harmonic components in the output voltage and current, identifying the specific frequency and amplitude of the harmonics, and providing accurate data support for subsequent analysis and processing. Harmonics are one of the common power quality problems in power grids, which can cause distortion of voltage and current waveforms and affect the normal operation of power equipment. Harmonic testing can timely detect and deal with harmonic problems, reduce harmonic content, improve power quality, and ensure the stable operation of power systems. In addition, the results of harmonic testing can reveal the harmonic characteristics generated by energy storage converters under specific working conditions. By analyzing these data, the design of energy storage converters can be optimized, the generation of harmonics can be reduced, and the performance and reliability of equipment can be improved.

[0034] Dynamic response test: In actual grid operation, voltage fluctuations and frequency changes are common phenomena. By simulating these dynamic conditions, the response speed of the energy storage converter when the grid fluctuates can be evaluated. Rapid response capability is essential for maintaining grid stability and preventing system collapse. At the same time, in the dynamic response test, the energy storage converter needs to operate stably under simulated grid fluctuation conditions. This test link helps to discover potential problems of the converter under dynamic conditions, such as the triggering of overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection, overcurrent protection and other mechanisms, thereby ensuring its stability and reliability in actual applications. By analyzing the response characteristics of the energy storage converter under dynamic conditions, the effectiveness of its control strategy can be evaluated, and based on the test results, the control strategy can be optimized to improve the response speed and stability of the converter, and further enhance its application effect in the grid.

[0035] Grid voltage fluctuation is a common phenomenon. Excessively high or low voltage may cause damage to the energy storage inverter and the electrical equipment connected to it. The over / under voltage protection test can verify whether the energy storage inverter can cut off the circuit or adjust the output voltage in time when the voltage is abnormal, thereby effectively preventing equipment damage. Moreover, voltage abnormality may not only damage the equipment, but also pose a safety threat to maintenance personnel. The over / under voltage protection test helps to ensure that the energy storage inverter can quickly take protective measures when the voltage is abnormal, reducing the occurrence of safety accidents such as electric shock.

[0036] The energy storage inverter can maintain the stability of the output voltage when the grid voltage fluctuates through over / undervoltage protection testing, which helps to maintain the overall voltage stability of the grid. In addition, voltage abnormalities may trigger a chain reaction in the grid, leading to larger-scale failures. Over / undervoltage protection testing helps prevent the occurrence of such chain reactions and ensure the reliable operation of the grid.

[0037] The overcurrent protection test can verify whether the energy storage converter can cut off the circuit or adjust the output current in time when the current is overloaded, thereby effectively preventing the equipment from overheating and damage due to current overload. Through the overcurrent protection test, it can be ensured that the energy storage converter can maintain a stable current output in normal operation and fault conditions, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. In addition, through the overcurrent protection test, it can be ensured that the energy storage converter maintains efficient current output during normal operation, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire system; finally, the overcurrent protection test helps to verify the stability and reliability of the energy storage converter under current overload conditions, and enhance the stability of the entire system.

[0038] The grid-connected synchronization test can verify whether the energy storage converter can keep synchronization with the voltage, frequency, and phase of the grid during the grid-connected process, thereby avoiding the huge current shock generated at the moment of grid connection and protecting the safety of the equipment and the grid. Through the grid-connected synchronization test, the grid-connected strategy of the energy storage converter can be optimized, the energy loss in the grid-connected process can be reduced, and the grid-connected efficiency can be improved. As an important part of the power grid, the grid-connected synchronization of the energy storage converter directly affects the voltage, frequency, and phase balance of the power grid. Through the test, it can be ensured that the energy storage converter can stably output electric energy after grid connection and provide reliable power support for the power grid. When the power grid fails or the load fluctuates, the energy storage converter can respond quickly. Through the grid-connected synchronization test, it can be verified whether it can keep synchronization with the power grid under these circumstances, thereby enhancing the resilience and anti-disturbance ability of the power grid. The grid-connected synchronization test can comprehensively evaluate the grid-connected capability of the energy storage converter, including indicators such as grid-connected speed and synchronization accuracy, providing an important basis for the research and development, production, and optimization of the equipment. Through the grid-connected synchronization test, problems existing in the grid-connected process of the energy storage converter can be discovered and solved in a timely manner, and the quality and reliability can be improved. In island mode, the energy storage converter needs to independently undertake the task of supplying power to the local load. Through voltage and frequency control tests, it can be verified whether it can maintain voltage and frequency stability under island operation to prevent damage to load equipment or safety accidents caused by voltage and frequency instability. Stable voltage and frequency are the basis for ensuring power supply quality. Through testing, the control strategy of the energy storage converter in island mode can be optimized to improve power supply quality and meet users' needs for power quality.

[0039] In a second aspect, this embodiment provides an energy storage converter testing system, such as Figure 2 As shown, including: An acquisition module, used for acquiring energy storage converter test samples; Building modules for building test standard evaluation models; An input module, used to input the test sample data that has passed the test standard in the past into the test standard evaluation model; The verification module is used to verify the test data.

[0040] Through the acquisition module, energy storage inverter test samples can be obtained quickly and accurately, avoiding the errors and delays that may be caused by traditional manual sample selection and improving test efficiency.

[0041] Establishing a test standard evaluation model provides a unified and standard evaluation benchmark for the testing of energy storage inverters, helps ensure the objectivity and comparability of test results, and improves the accuracy of the test.

[0042] The input module inputs the test sample data that has passed the test standard in the past into the test standard evaluation model, providing the model with rich historical data support. These data can be used as a reference for new test samples to help the model better understand and predict the performance of the energy storage inverter.

[0043] By verifying the test data through the inspection module, the accuracy and reliability of the test results can be ensured, which facilitates the timely discovery and correction of errors or deviations that may occur during the test process, thereby improving the scientific nature of the test.

[0044] In a third aspect, a mobile device is provided, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements the steps of the energy storage converter testing method as described above when executing the computer program.

[0045] In a fourth aspect, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the energy storage converter testing method described above are implemented.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that after reading the present invention, those skilled in the art can still make various changes, modifications or equivalent substitutions to the specific implementation methods of the invention, but these changes, modifications or equivalent substitutions are all within the protection scope of the pending claims of the invention.
