Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar energy technology, specifically a balanced power supply and distribution control system for a solar array simulator. Background Technology
[0002] A solar array simulator, also known as a photovoltaic array simulator, is a power source that simulates the static and dynamic current and voltage characteristics of a solar panel array. To avoid wasting the electrical energy generated by the simulated solar panels, multiple sets of batteries are used to store the electrical energy generated by each simulated solar panel in a one-to-one manner. However, when multiple sets of batteries are connected in series to supply power, the voltage imbalance of the stored electrical energy can easily reduce the discharge efficiency of the batteries, shorten their lifespan, and when the battery voltage reaches a certain level and the electrical energy converted from solar energy cannot meet the charging demand, the electrical energy generated by the simulated solar panels can no longer be stored, resulting in energy waste. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0077] Specifically, the source of the eighth power transistor Q8 is connected to the drain of the second power transistor Q2, the drain of the eighth power transistor Q8 is connected to the first terminal of the first secondary side of the first transformer B1, and the gate of the eighth power transistor Q8 is connected to the IO12 terminal of the first controller U1.
[0078] In a specific embodiment, the eighth power transistor Q8 can be an N-channel MOSFET, which transmits the electrical energy output from the second secondary side of the first transformer B1 to the first energy storage module 7 or the second energy storage module 8.
[0079] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 The low-voltage detection module 3 includes a ninth power transistor Q9, a first power supply VCC1, and a low-voltage detection device.
[0080] Specifically, the drain of the ninth power transistor Q9 is connected to the first power supply VCC1, the source of the ninth power transistor Q9 is connected to the power supply terminal of the low-voltage detection device, the first input terminal and the second input terminal of the low-voltage detection device are respectively connected to the first terminal of the first simulator and the second terminal of the second simulator, the output terminal of the low-voltage detection device is connected to the control terminal of the fourth thyristor S4 and the IO8 terminal of the first controller U1, and the gate of the ninth power transistor Q9 is connected to the IO1 terminal of the first controller U1.
[0081] In a specific embodiment, the ninth power transistor Q9 can be an N-channel MOSFET; the low-voltage detection device can be composed of a resistor voltage divider circuit and a comparator circuit. The voltage divider circuit performs voltage division sampling, and the comparator circuit compares the sampled signal with the voltage of the set low-voltage threshold. When the sampled signal is less than the low-voltage threshold, a self-equalizing signal is output.
[0082] In this embodiment, a balanced power distribution control system for a solar array simulator is implemented. A first simulator and a second simulator perform photoelectric conversion and output first and third electrical energy, respectively. The first electrical energy is transmitted through a fifth thyristor S5 and a sixth thyristor S6. The IO9 terminal of the first controller U1 outputs a first adjustment signal to control the conduction state of the fifth power transistor Q5. This, in conjunction with the first inductor L1, the first capacitor C1, the first diode D1, and the second capacitor C2, regulates the voltage and outputs fourth electrical energy. Similarly, the IO10 terminal of the first controller U1 outputs a second adjustment signal to control the voltage regulation device to regulate the third electrical energy transmitted by the seventh thyristor S7 and outputs fifth electrical energy. The fourth and fifth electrical energies provide charging power for the first and second batteries, respectively. Yes, if the second battery module is fully charged and the first battery's charge is lower than the second battery's, the first controller U1 outputs a second control signal at IO2 to control the third thyristor S3 to conduct, and the first controller U1 outputs a first drive signal at IO7 to control the sixth power transistor Q6 to conduct. This allows the third power to be regulated by the first transformer B1 and the sixth power transistor Q6 at high frequency, outputting the first balanced power. The first controller U1 outputs a fourth conduction signal at IO6 to control the second power transistor Q2 and the fourth power transistor Q4 to conduct. Simultaneously, the first controller U1 outputs a second pulse signal at IO12 to control the eighth power transistor Q8 to conduct, allowing the first balanced power to be transmitted to the third power transistor Q1 through the parasitic diodes on the eighth power transistor Q8, the second power transistor Q2, and the first power transistor Q1. When the power supplied by both the first and second simulators is low, the first controller U1 outputs a first control signal at its IO1 terminal, causing the first and second simulators to be connected in series and supply power to output a second power. Simultaneously, the ninth power transistor Q9 is turned on. The low-voltage detection device checks whether the second power is below the low-voltage threshold. If it is not below the low-voltage threshold, the second power is transferred to the first transformer B1 for high-frequency transformation. When the voltage of the second battery is lower than that of the first battery, the first controller U1 outputs a third turn-on signal at its IO5 terminal and a second pulse signal at its IO12 terminal, thereby supplying power to the second battery and balancing the voltages of the first and second batteries. If the second power is below the low-voltage threshold, it indicates that the first and second simulators cannot supply power. The low-voltage detection device outputs a self-balancing signal, controlling the fourth thyristor S4 to conduct, which is received by the IO8 terminal of the first controller U1. The first controller U1 stops outputting the first control signal, the first adjustment signal, and the second adjustment signal. At this time, if the voltage of the second battery is less than the first voltage, the IO11 terminal of the first controller U1 outputs a first pulse signal to trigger the seventh power transistor Q7 to conduct, and the IO3 terminal outputs a first conduction signal to trigger the first power transistor Q1 and the third power transistor Q3 to conduct, causing the first battery to discharge. The discharge is then transmitted from the first primary side of the first transformer B1 to the second primary side of the first transformer B1, and then through the equalization module 9 and the bidirectional transmission device to the second battery. Similarly, if the voltage of the first battery is lower than the voltage of the second battery at this time...The second battery will provide second equalization power to the first battery through the bidirectional transmission device, equalization module 9, and first transformer B1. If the battery with the lowest voltage does not require voltage equalization, the higher-voltage battery will release power into the battery pack. For example, if the second battery does not require voltage equalization and the voltage of the first battery is higher than that of the second battery, the first controller U1 can output a first conduction signal and a second pulse signal, so that the first battery, the parasitic diode of the first power transistor Q1, the second power transistor Q2, the second secondary side of the first transformer B1, and the fourth power transistor Q4 form a circuit. The second secondary side of the first transformer B1 performs isolation transformation and supplies power to the first and second batteries connected in series.
