Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy technology, specifically to an optimized method for improving the rural photovoltaic absorption capacity using mobile energy storage. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, rural distributed photovoltaic (PV) power stations are generally characterized by small capacity, large number, and scattered configuration, which brings a series of problems. First, since each PV power station requires an independent inverter, the long idle time of the inverter capacity significantly increases system costs. Second, there is a mismatch between PV power generation and electricity load in time and space, making it difficult to effectively store and utilize excess electricity, easily leading to curtailment. Simultaneously, decentralized PV power stations struggle to participate in the electricity market on a large scale, face grid connection difficulties, and have a limited self-consumption revenue model, restricting economic benefits. Furthermore, rural low-voltage distribution networks are not only long but also radial, frequently experiencing low voltage on the low-voltage side of some distribution transformers during peak electricity consumption periods. This significant voltage quality problem prevents loads from operating normally, reducing power supply reliability.
[0003] In summary, existing technologies are insufficient to meet the demand for utilizing large amounts of rural photovoltaic (PV) resources. Although stationary energy storage can absorb daytime PV power, the weak rural power distribution network structure, low transmission capacity, and high investment costs for network upgrades, coupled with a lack of investment incentive from power grid companies, mean that the large amount of PV power absorbed by storage is difficult to sell to the grid and cannot be effectively consumed by local loads. Furthermore, many non-stationary power consumption scenarios exist in rural areas, such as agricultural harvesting, processing, and temporary irrigation. These locations often lack power lines and facilities, creating a significant demand for flexible, mobile power sources. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in existing technologies, this invention provides an optimized method for enhancing rural photovoltaic (PV) absorption capacity using mobile energy storage. This method involves using energy storage vehicles to absorb distributed PV power, then forming a centralized aggregation and distribution model. A portion of the power is centrally connected to the grid for sale, while the remainder is uniformly dispatched to temporary power load points. This expands the scale of PV projects, increases the profitability of rural PV resources, and simultaneously solves the problems of some power points being without power due to lack of power lines or voltage quality issues, thus achieving the goals of increasing income and ensuring power supply through distributed PV.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

For those skilled in the art, various changes are obvious as long as they are within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the appended claims. All inventions utilizing the concept of the present invention are protected.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, an optimized method for improving rural photovoltaic grid integration capacity using mobile energy storage includes the following steps S1-S4:
[0018] S1. Construct a system architecture for distributed photovoltaic energy storage in rural areas, which includes mobile energy storage vehicles, mobile power generation vehicles, and centralized aggregated energy storage power stations.
[0019] Specifically, the system architecture of rural distributed photovoltaic energy storage, which combines decentralized charging and centralized discharging, also includes rural distributed photovoltaic power stations and energy monitoring and management systems.
[0020] In this embodiment, the system architecture includes several rural distributed photovoltaic power stations, several mobile energy storage vehicles, several mobile power generation vehicles, one centralized aggregation energy storage power station, and one energy monitoring and management system. Among them, the rooftop photovoltaic power stations of each farmer are connected to the mobile energy storage vehicles through DC charging controllers. The mobile energy storage vehicles are transported to the centralized aggregation energy storage power station by tractor trailers. The centralized aggregation energy storage power station is responsible for centralized discharge and management of electrical energy at fixed connection points with the distribution network. The energy monitoring and management system monitors and schedules the entire system in real time. Specifically: (1) The mobile energy storage vehicles transport the photovoltaic power collected in a decentralized manner to the centralized aggregation energy storage power station. In the centralized aggregation energy storage power station, multiple mobile energy storage vehicles are connected in parallel. The DC power is converted to AC power by the inverter of the centralized aggregation energy storage power station and finally connected to the distribution network. The centralized aggregation energy storage power station transmits data to the mobile energy storage vehicles through the energy monitoring and management system. The transmitted data includes the power status, location information, charging and discharging status of the mobile energy storage vehicles, etc., so as to optimize scheduling and (2) According to user needs, a certain number of mobile energy storage vehicles are equipped with inverters to become mobile power generation vehicles, so as to convert the DC power in the mobile energy storage vehicles into AC power to provide power to users; the centralized aggregation energy storage station transmits data with the mobile power generation vehicles through the energy monitoring and management system. The transmitted data includes user needs, the location and status of the mobile power generation vehicles, etc., for optimizing power supply and management; (3) Power conversion and grid connection: the centralized aggregation energy storage station connects multiple mobile energy storage vehicles in parallel, converts DC power into AC power through the inverter of the centralized aggregation energy storage station, and finally connects to the distribution network, thereby ensuring the quality and stability of power and making it conform to the grid standard; (4) Participation in the power market: the centralized aggregation energy storage station can participate in the power market through centralized discharge, supply power to the distribution network during peak power demand periods, and obtain additional economic benefits; (5) the energy monitoring and management system monitors the following data: 1) Rural distributed photovoltaic power station: power generation, power output, operating status, etc. 2) Mobile energy storage vehicle: power status, location information, charging and discharging status, etc. 3) Mobile generator: power status, location information, discharge status, user demand, etc. 4) Centralized aggregated energy storage station: power storage status, discharge status, operating efficiency, etc. 5) Road network and tractor-trailer: location information, transportation status, operating efficiency, etc.
[0021] In summary, this system architecture converts solar energy into direct current (DC) through rural distributed photovoltaic power stations. This DC power is then stored in mobile energy storage vehicles and transported to a centralized aggregated energy storage station. The centralized aggregated energy storage station then converts the DC power into alternating current (AC) via an inverter, which is then fed into the distribution network. Simultaneously, the mobile energy storage vehicles, equipped with inverters, become mobile generators, providing electricity to users. The energy monitoring and management system monitors and optimizes the operation of each component in real time, achieving efficient energy utilization and a stable power supply. This architecture not only enables decentralized energy collection and centralized management but also improves energy efficiency and system operational flexibility through the collaborative work of its components. In this system architecture, the consumption of electricity and the improvement of users' electricity experience are mainly reflected in two key processes: (1) the process of consumption of distributed photovoltaic power stations, which is completely different from the previous method of multiple distributed photovoltaic energy storage systems using inverters to connect to the grid independently. Under this architecture, the photovoltaic panels convert solar energy into DC power, which is then stored in mobile energy storage vehicles after being regulated by the charging controller. The towing trailer transports the fully charged mobile energy storage vehicles to the centralized aggregation energy storage station. After all the mobile energy storage vehicles are connected in parallel, the DC power is converted into AC power through the inverter at the connection point with the distribution network and finally connected to the distribution network, realizing the effective consumption and integration of electricity. This mode not only improves the efficiency of electricity consumption, but also effectively saves the cost of repeatedly investing in inverter equipment for multiple distributed photovoltaic energy storage systems. (2) For users to rent mobile energy storage vehicles, the centralized aggregation energy storage power station will configure a certain number of mobile energy storage vehicles with inverters according to user needs, and turn them into mobile power generation vehicles. The DC power in the mobile energy storage vehicles can be converted into AC power, providing a stable and reliable power supply for users to receive power during peak load periods, meeting the decentralized and flexible power demand in rural areas, improving users' power experience, and enhancing the reliability of rural low-voltage distribution networks.
[0022] Furthermore, an experiment was conducted in a rural area to verify the effectiveness of the system architecture proposed in this invention. Specifically, a distributed photovoltaic energy storage system was planned to be built in a rural area. Ten farmers in the area intended to invest in building rooftop photovoltaic power stations, each with an installed capacity of approximately 10kW. Simultaneously, a site for a centralized aggregated energy storage power station was available in the area, at a suitable distance from each farmer's rooftop photovoltaic power station. The system architecture of the rural distributed photovoltaic energy storage system, featuring decentralized charging and centralized discharging, is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the system includes 10 rural distributed photovoltaic power stations, several mobile energy storage vehicles, several mobile power generation vehicles, one centralized aggregated energy storage power station, and one energy monitoring and management system; the system architecture's workflow for decentralized charging and storage and centralized discharging is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, from Figure 3It is understood that farmers use photovoltaic panels to convert solar energy into electricity, which is then stored locally by small mobile energy storage units. The fully charged storage units are then transported by trailer to a centralized aggregated energy storage power station. Here, multiple mobile energy storage vehicles are connected in parallel and connected to the low-voltage power distribution network via an inverter, supporting peak shaving and improving voltage stability. After discharging, the mobile energy storage vehicles can be towed to the photovoltaic station for charging during off-peak hours, or distributed to high-load farmers according to real-time demand, alleviating power shortages.

This model is used to achieve a reasonable configuration of the capacity of the mobile energy storage vehicles and mobile generator vehicles, ensuring that the system architecture achieves maximum economic benefits under various constraints. Simultaneously, it improves the asset utilization rate of the power distribution equipment and enhances the economy and reliability of the system. Specifically, in subsequent steps, a stochastic global search optimization method is used to solve the gene encoding problem, thereby obtaining the optimal values of each decision variable to determine the configuration scheme of the mobile energy storage vehicles and mobile generator vehicles.
