[0035] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and examples:

[0036] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 2 is the topology of the distributed energy storage unit, wherein C b1 is the battery side voltage stabilizing capacitor; C b2 is the DC system side capacitor; L b is the transformer circuit inductance; U b is the battery side output voltage; i L is the current on the inductor; g1 and g2 are the driving signals of the switch tube; u b and i b are the DC system side voltage and current, respectively; S1 and S2 are the switch tubes.

[0037] The transformer of the ESU usually adopts voltage / current double closed loop control, and the voltage reference value in the double loop control can be provided by the droop control.

[0038] The expression of the battery SOC of the distributed energy storage unit is:

[0039]

[0040] In the formula, SOC0 is the initial value of the battery SOC, Q act is the actual effective capacity of the battery, t is the charging and discharging time, and i b (t) is the battery charging and discharging current.

[0041] Derive the SOC expression on both sides:

[0044] Taking two parallel running ESUs adopting droop control as an example:

[0045]

[0046] In the formula, R di is the droop control coefficient, and i=1, 2.

[0047] According to the theoretical derivation, the SOC change rate is related to the product of the actual capacity of the battery and the set droop coefficient; therefore, the technical scheme of the present application is proposed, specifically as shown in Figure 1 :

[0048] The present application provides a DC distributed energy storage unit droop control method based on the battery state, which comprises the following steps:

[0049] S1. Obtain the SOC information of each distributed energy storage unit in the DC system;

[0050] S2. determining the SOC operating interval of the distributed energy storage unit;

[0051] S3. determining the droop control coefficient of the distributed energy storage unit in the charging mode and the discharging mode based on the SOC information of the distributed energy storage unit and the SOC operating interval;

[0052] S4. constructing a droop control equation of the distributed energy storage unit, inputting the droop control coefficient into the droop control equation to determine the voltage reference value of the distributed energy storage unit, and controlling the distributed energy storage unit to work with the voltage reference value. Through the above method, the SOC information of the distributed energy storage unit battery and the charging and discharging capacity of the distributed energy storage unit are divided into operating intervals, and the droop control coefficient is determined based on the SOC information of the battery, and the distributed energy storage unit is controlled to operate with the droop control coefficient. The influence of the battery state of the distributed energy storage unit on the operation of the distributed energy storage unit is fully considered, so as to realize the SOC balance of each distributed energy storage unit and ensure the stable and reliable operation of the direct-current distributed energy storage system.

[0053] In this embodiment, the SOC operating interval of the distributed energy storage unit specifically includes:

[0054] determining the lower limit value SOC α and the upper limit value SOC β of the SOC interval of the distributed energy storage unit;

[0055] taking (0, SOC α ) as the discharging limit interval of the distributed energy storage unit;

[0056] taking (SOC α , SOC β ) as the optimal operating interval of the distributed energy storage unit;

[0057] taking (SOC β , 1) as the charging limit interval of the distributed energy storage unit. Specifically as shown in Figure 3 SOC α and SOC β Divide the battery SOC into three operating intervals. When the ESU battery SOC is in region 2, i.e. the optimal operating interval, the corresponding charging and discharging capacity is higher, at this time it is hoped that the battery will charge and discharge at a faster speed; when the SOC of the ESU battery is in region 1 or region 3, i.e. the charging and discharging limit interval, the battery charging and discharging capacity is lower, at this time it is hoped to slow down the battery charging and discharging speed, and as far as possible to make the battery away from the operating boundary, avoid the battery SOC close to the boundary to cause the ESU to exit operation, and reduce the reliability of the distributed ESU.

[0058] In this embodiment, the process of determining the droop control coefficient of the distributed energy storage unit in the discharging mode is:

[0059]

[0060] wherein:

[0061] R di_dis (SOC) represents the droop control coefficient of the i-th distributed energy storage unit in discharging mode, R0 represents the initial droop coefficient of the distributed energy storage unit, SOC i represents the SOC value of the i-th distributed energy storage unit, SOC ave represents the average SOC value of all distributed energy storage units in the DC system, and k, n and m are all adjustment factors.

[0062] The process for determining the droop control coefficient of the distributed energy storage unit in charging mode is as follows:

[0063]

[0064] wherein: R di_cha (SOC) represents the droop control coefficient of the i-th distributed energy storage unit in discharging mode, R0 represents the initial droop coefficient of the distributed energy storage unit, SOC i represents the SOC value of the i-th distributed energy storage unit, SOC ave represents the average SOC value of all distributed energy storage units in the DC system, and k, n and m are all adjustment factors.

[0065] The droop control equation of the distributed energy storage unit is as follows:

[0066]

[0067] wherein: R di (SOC) represents the droop control coefficient of the distributed energy storage unit, R di_cha (SOC) is used in charging mode, R di_dis (SOC) is used in discharging mode, u refi represents the given voltage of the i-th distributed energy storage unit, is the reference voltage of the i-th distributed energy storage unit, i bi represents the output current of the i-th distributed energy storage unit.

[0068] Taking the discharging mode as an example, it is assumed that the SOC of each ESU > SOC α , and the SOC equalization droop control curve is as shown in Figure 4 When the SOC value of the ESU is greater than SOC ave , the term in the droop coefficient is greater than 0, then is greater than 1, and by analogy, the SOC value is less than SOC aveESU exp The term is less than 1, so the droop coefficient of the ESU with a large SOC value is less than the ESU with a small SOC value. The slope of the droop curve represents the droop coefficient, and the droop curve with a large droop coefficient has a large slope, so the droop curve corresponding to the ESU with a large SOC value has a small slope, as shown by the green line in the figure. At the same voltage, the output current of the droop curve with a small slope is large, that is, the ESU with a large SOC value can output a larger current, and the ESU with a small SOC value can output a smaller current, so that the SOC of each unit gradually tends to be consistent. When the SOC of all ESUs is equal, The term is equal to 0, so the exponential term is equal to 1, and at this time the droop coefficient becomes the initial droop coefficient R0. Similarly, the droop control in the charging mode can also achieve the effect of reasonably distributing the current among the ESUs and ultimately achieving SOC balancing.

[0069] The SOC balancing segmented droop control system based on battery state estimation is as shown in Figure 5 The SOC i , inductance current, output voltage and current and other operating information of the ESU are obtained, and the voltage reference value is provided for the voltage / current double-loop control through the control link, and further a PWM control signal is output for the ESU. Among them, in order to fully consider the influence of the actual state of the battery on the operation control of the ESU, the SOC information determined based on the battery state estimation is introduced into the droop control; based on the relationship between the SOC state and the charging and discharging capacity, the battery operating interval is divided and the corresponding SOC balancing segmented droop control is designed.

[0070] In this embodiment Figure 6 , the output current of the ESU, the battery SOC and the DC bus voltage curve under the same capacity battery discharge working condition are shown. It can be seen that the initial SOC of the three ESUs is 0.65, 0.625 and 0.6 respectively, the actual capacity of the battery is 2Ah, and the three ESUs are in the discharge mode.

[0071] From Figure 6 (a) and (b), it can be seen that the droop coefficient can be dynamically adjusted according to the SOC of the ESU. In the initial stage, the currents of the three ESUs are distributed according to the initial SOC, so the ESU1 with a larger initial SOC outputs the largest current, about 7.43A at 5s, and the ESU3 with a smaller initial SOC outputs the smallest current, about 5.96A at 5s. With the continuous discharge of the battery, the current can be dynamically adjusted according to the SOC, and at the 75s moment, the output currents of the three ESUs tend to be consistent, about 6.68A, and at this time the SOC of each ESU battery also reaches the balanced state. At 100s, the SOC of each ESU is 0.310. From Figure 6(c) The DC bus voltage is approximately 385.4V, which deviates from the set value by 14.6V. The proposed control can keep the DC bus voltage within 5% of the set value.

[0072] When battery capacities are equal, the control method proposed in this invention can dynamically adjust the droop coefficient according to the SOC of each ESU, and rationally distribute the load current according to the SOC. Under discharge conditions, ESUs with larger SOCs are allocated more load current, and ESUs with smaller SOCs are allocated less load current, ultimately achieving SOC balance and avoiding overcharging or over-discharging of ESUs due to SOC imbalance, thereby improving the lifespan of energy storage.

[0073] In this embodiment Figure 7 The output current, battery SOC, and DC bus voltage curves of the ESU under battery charging conditions that take capacity degradation into account are shown. The initial SOCs of the three ESUs are 0.4, 0.375, and 0.35, respectively, and the actual battery capacities during the simulation period are 2Ah, 1.8Ah, and 1.6Ah, respectively.

[0074] The initial SOCs of the three ESU batteries, determined based on their actual effective capacity, are 0.4, 0.417, and 0.43, respectively. Figure 7 As shown in (a) and (b), each ESU can fully consider the actual state of the battery. The three ESUs dynamically adjust their current according to their actual SOC. ESU1, with the lowest actual SOC, has a larger charging current, approximately -4.4A at 9s, while ESU3, with the highest actual SOC, has a smaller charging current, approximately -3.5A at 9s. At 100s, the output current of the three ESUs becomes basically consistent, approximately -3.97A. At this point, the battery SOC of each ESU also reaches a relatively balanced state, approximately 0.68. Figure 7 In (c), the DC bus voltage is approximately 409V, which deviates from the set value by 9V. The DC bus voltage remains stable and within 5% of the set value.

[0075] The control method proposed in this invention can adaptively adjust the current magnitude according to the SOC operating status. When the SOC is in the extreme operating range, the current magnitude can be dynamically adjusted according to the difference between the SOC and the operating range boundary, so as to reasonably allocate the ESU output and make the battery operate in the optimal range as much as possible, thereby improving the stability of the energy storage system.

[0076] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
