Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the intersecting technical field of communications and novel power systems, and in particular relates to a digital direct current transmission system and method based on coordinated dispatching of communication channels. Background Art

[0002] Currently, DC power transmission technology is widely used in high-voltage DC transmission, microgrids, and renewable energy generation. However, traditional DC transmission methods still face challenges such as unstable energy transmission, difficult power scheduling, and high power losses. In recent years, discrete power transmission methods based on energy packets have become a hot topic. By dividing power into independent energy packets for transmission, these methods improve transmission efficiency and enhance scheduling flexibility. Existing technologies attach transmission information to the effective energy in the form of fixed-byte pulses. This reduces the effective energy content of the transmitted energy packet and affects system reliability due to information recognition. High-frequency square wave signals are also unsuitable for long-distance transmission and have significant limitations. Furthermore, existing transmission systems cannot meet the requirements for information exchange between the load and the source, preventing the source from autonomously transmitting energy according to the load's needs. Summary of the Invention
