[0041] Under normal operation conditions, select the leftmost one 1 of the DC busbar and the rightmost one 2 of the DC busbar for operation according to the load conditions, such as Figure 1 and 2 shown:

[0042] Mode 1, as Figure 1 shown: The solid-state circuit breaker 1 5 between the leftmost one 1 of the DC busbar and the rightmost one 2 of the DC busbar is disconnected, and the loads on both sides obtain power from these two sections of busbars, namely the leftmost one 1 of the DC busbar and the rightmost one 2 of the DC busbar respectively.

[0043] Mode 2, asFigure 2 As shown: The solid-state circuit breaker 5 between the leftmost DC busbar 1 and the rightmost DC busbar 2 is switched on to form a DC network, and the left and right side loads draw power from the DC network.

[0044] In the case of a busbar fault, taking the leftmost DC busbar 1 as an example, the leftmost DC busbar 1 is switched to the second left DC busbar 3 through a changeover switch for operation, as Figure 3 and 4 shown:

[0045] Mode 1, as Figure 3 shown: The solid-state circuit breaker 6 between the second left DC busbar 3 and the second right DC busbar 4 is switched off, and the left and right side loads respectively obtain power from the two busbars of the second left DC busbar 3 and the rightmost DC busbar 2.

[0046] Mode 2, as Figure 4 shown: The rightmost DC busbar 2 is switched to the second right DC busbar 4 through a changeover switch for operation, the solid-state circuit breaker 6 between the second left DC busbar 3 and the second right DC busbar 4 is switched on to form a DC network, and the left and right side loads draw power from the DC network.

[0047] In summary, the functions and characteristics of the dual-busbar redundant DC power distribution system:

[0048] Flexible operation mode: It can achieve the balanced distribution of power sources and loads on two groups of busbars, and can adopt the operation mode of one group of busbars working and the other group of busbars in standby. The bus coupler disconnector can be flexibly operated for opening or closing, and all circuits can work without power interruption.

[0049] High reliability: Once any busbar or branch fails, the standby busbar is immediately activated to ensure that the entire ship does not lose power and does not reduce power. Redundant design is carried out for all equipment and components, covering lithium batteries, inverters, busbars, fuses, disconnectors, branch copper bars, etc.

[0050] Dual seamless switching: It has a unique design for dual seamless switching of busbars, and will not cause any interruption or interference to the system during the busbar switching process, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the system.

[0051] Communication protocol: Fiber optic connection (using internal private protocol) is adopted between two PLC main controllers to achieve redundant configuration of the main controllers; Modbus-TCP (RJ45) communication protocol is adopted between the main controller and the DC busbar controller; CAN communication protocol is adopted between the main controller and the lithium battery pack 7 controller; specific communication protocols are adopted between the main controller and the propulsion inverter equipment controller; specific communication protocols are adopted between the main controller and the daily use inverter equipment controller; the private protocol of B&R is adopted between the main controller and the HMI human-machine interface panel, and the OPC UA protocol for third-party equipment.

[0052] System control function:

[0053] (1) Self-check function;

[0054] (2) Starting and power failure recovery function;

[0055] (3) Operating mode selection;

[0056] (4) Busbar switching control;

[0057] (5) Operating switching of lithium battery pack 7;

[0058] (6) Fault monitoring and handling;

[0059] (7) Power limit function;

[0060] (8) Heavy load inquiry function;

[0061] (9) Step-by-step unloading function (priority tripping function);

[0062] (10) Monitoring alarm system interface function;

[0063] (11) Human-machine interface monitoring function, etc.

[0064] The system is equipped with three operation modes: "automatic mode", "semi-automatic mode" and "manual mode", and the operation mode of the system can be switched and controlled according to the load conditions to achieve a relatively economical and reasonable operation mode. Among them, "semi-automatic mode" and "manual mode" require professional operators to operate.

[0065] The system is equipped with a human-machine operation interface, which uses a touch screen for display and operation, and can display the operation status of the power system. The system reserves a certain number of spare signal input and output interfaces for future expansion and upgrading or replacing the control program.

[0066] The operation mode switching control strategy is as follows:

[0067] (1) During normal operation, different operation modes of DC busbar 1 (DC busbar left 1 and DC busbar right 2) are selected according to the load conditions.

[0068] (2) When DC busbar left 1 fails, switch to DC busbar left 2 3 or DC busbar right 2 4, and select different operation modes of DC busbar 2 (DC busbar left 2 3 and DC busbar right 2 4) according to the load conditions.

[0069] (3) When lithium battery pack 7 fails, automatically switch to the standby lithium battery pack 7 or adjust the operation mode.

[0070] (4) When manually switching to the standby power supply mode, other modes are invalid.

[0071] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present invention by using the methods and technical contents disclosed above, or modify it into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the shape, structure and principle of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
