Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-voltage energy storage systems, and in particular to a seamless switching operation method for multiple energy storage devices. Background Art

[0002] Construction site electricity consumption usually shows obvious peak-valley electricity price differences. Utilizing new energy to achieve peak-valley arbitrage is an effective way to reduce electricity costs. By deploying a mobile energy storage system, a construction site can charge during the valley period with a lower electricity price and release the stored electrical energy during the peak period with a higher electricity price, thereby effectively reducing expenses. In addition, the flexibility of the mobile energy storage system enables it to adapt to the needs of different projects and support batch charging and discharging to achieve more efficient electricity utilization.

[0003] However, traditional mobile energy storage systems have the defects of only supporting the off-grid mode and being unable to connect to the power grid, and only supporting a single charging method. If construction work is carried out in a remote area, the cost of transporting energy storage boxes is too high and the time span is large; building a distribution room for construction site electricity consumption and charging energy storage boxes is likely to extend the construction period and reduce flexibility at the same time.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can be applied in both grid-connected and off-grid modes and can achieve seamless switching operation of multiple energy storage devices. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0006] A seamless switching operation method for multiple energy storage devices includes the following steps:

[0007] Establish an energy storage system control module in each energy storage device respectively, and then establish a master control module. The master control module is respectively communicatively connected to each energy storage system control module. Establish a current session in the energy storage system control module and communicatively connect it to the terminal of the discharging device;

[0008] Obtain the physical address coordinates of this energy storage device;

[0009] Obtain the power quantity identifiers of this energy storage device and the discharging device;

[0010] Construct a switching request with the physical address coordinates and power quantity identifiers;

[0011] Continuously send the switching request to the master control module. The master control module calculates the time required for the internal energy storage device with different physical address coordinates to reach the threshold power quantity according to the switching request and records it as a time identifier, and at the same time classifies the time identifier;

[0012] Continuously send time identifiers to the area where the staff is located or the terminals they carry, and the staff selects whether to connect the energy storage device to the charging pile according to the time identifiers of different levels;

[0013] After the energy storage device is connected to the charging pile, a discharge session is established. The master control module selects other energy storage devices to join the discharge session. After other energy storage devices successfully join the discharge session and a new switching request is constructed, the original energy storage device leaves the discharge session and stops discharging.

[0014] As a further improvement, before establishing the current session in the energy storage system control module, execute:

[0015] The master control module randomly selects at least one energy storage system control module of the energy storage devices to send a discharge signal, and the energy storage system control module that receives the discharge instruction turns on the discharge circuit breaker inside the energy storage device.

[0016] As a further improvement, after the discharge circuit breaker is turned on, the current is transmitted to the DCDC converter through the switching device, and the DCDC converter boosts or buck-boosts the voltage according to the requirements of the voltage and the energy storage system.

[0017] As a further improvement, after the DCDC converter boosts or buck-boosts the voltage, execute:

[0018] The electric energy flows to the PCS module, and the PCS module converts the high-voltage direct current into alternating current.

[0019] As a further improvement, the master control module selects two of the energy storage devices to perform the discharge behavior, and conducts bidirectional power transmission with the external power grid through the PCS to ensure that the system can automatically adjust when the load changes.

[0020] As a further improvement, the specific process of obtaining the power quantity identifiers of this energy storage device and the discharging device specifically includes:

[0021] Obtain the power consumption information of the discharging device communicatively connected to this energy storage device, and at the same time obtain the power quantity storage information inside this device, and organize and save them as power quantity identifiers.

[0022] As a further improvement, the physical address coordinate is the numbering information or coding information preset inside the energy storage device.

[0023] As a further improvement, the time identifiers are classified into at least two levels according to the time required to reach the threshold power quantity. When the time identifiers of multiple energy storage devices in the same system are all at levels lower than the preset duration threshold, an alarm will be sent to the area where the staff is located or the terminals they carry to urge them to perform the action of connecting to the charging pile.

[0024] As a further improvement, the actions for constructing a discharge session specifically include:

[0025] Introduce other energy storage devices to be connected in parallel to the DCDC converter.

[0026] As a further improvement, for the DCDC bidirectional converter, the input to output is in BOOST mode, and the output to input is in BUCK mode. The INP-DCDC used in conjunction with the INP energy storage converter can increase the battery voltage range, which can range from 300V to 900V;

[0027] The whole machine adopts multiple modular interleaved parallel topologies;

[0028] The PCS realizes rectification and inversion through a three-phase three-level converter.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0030] The present invention realizes the PCS built into each energy storage device and changes it to be configured with one PCS by the master control module to uniformly manage a single energy storage module, achieving a seamless switching operation method for multiple energy storage devices. In the grid-connected operation mode, the energy storage device outputs through the PCS and is connected to the grid, and the STS remains closed to ensure stable power supply. In the off-grid operation mode, when the power grid is powered off or fails, the STS automatically disconnects, and the energy storage system quickly switches to the off-grid power supply state. It supports the independent operation of a single energy storage module, adapts to small-scale power demands, and can also realize the parallel operation of two energy storage modules at the DCDC output end under normal conditions to improve the power supply capacity.

[0031] During the discharge process, the energy storage devices discharge through their respective DCDCs. When the SOC value of an energy storage device drops to the set threshold, the master control module will select a standby energy storage device to connect and start discharging. At this time, at least two DCDCs of the energy storage devices work simultaneously to ensure uninterrupted power supply. Subsequently, the power-deficient energy storage device can be safely disconnected, maintaining the working state of the original other energy storage modules and achieving efficient seamless switching.
