[0016] The present application provides an energy management method for a water turbine generator magnetic field energy taking device, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. Improve the magnetic field energy taking matching efficiency, reduce the reactive loss, and widen the load adaptation range The series resonance matching circuit designed in the present application fundamentally solves the problem of inductive impedance mismatch and large reactive loss of the traditional passive matching circuit in the low frequency scene. Based on the characteristics of the stable frequency of the water turbine generator magnetic field, the resonance capacitor is accurately calculated to completely offset the inductive impedance of the energy taking coil, avoiding the consumption of reactive power by the inductor. Compared with the series and parallel resonance matching characteristics, although the maximum power output of the parallel matching is slightly higher, the series matching can output larger active power in a larger load resistance range, which can adapt to the load fluctuation demand of the water turbine generator energy taking device under different working conditions, solving the problems of narrow load adaptation and unstable power output of the traditional matching circuit.

[0017] 2. Reduce the conduction loss in the rectification stage, improve the rectification efficiency and output voltage stability The quadruple voltage active rectifier circuit of the application optimizes the defects of large conduction voltage drop and serious energy loss of traditional diode rectification at low voltage. Low threshold MOSFET and ultra-low power comparator are used to replace traditional diode, which greatly reduces the conduction loss. The circuit has a self-starting mechanism. When initially powered on, the passive rectification start is realized through the MOSFET body parasitic diode, and the active rectification mode is switched after the voltage meets the standard, without the need for additional starting power supply. When the input is a low-frequency weak alternating current of 50Hz and 1V amplitude, a stable 3.2V DC voltage can be output, which not only meets the power supply demand of the hydroelectric generator set sensor, but also improves the efficiency of the traditional passive rectification by more than 30%.

[0018] 3. Realize low-power maximum power tracking, improve energy utilization rate and output stability The RC tracking MPPT strategy of the application breaks through the limitations of traditional MPPT such as high power consumption of digital control algorithm and inadaptation to micro-energy systems. The whole power consumption is only one tenth of that of traditional digital MPPT by using all-analog circuit without complex digital chips. Based on the charging characteristics of the capacitor, it is derived that the charging power is maximum when the capacitor voltage is half of the energy collector voltage. The maximum power point voltage can be locked in real time by tracking the peak voltage across the resistor in the RC circuit. The comparator and DC-DC converter form a closed-loop control, which automatically adjusts when the rectified voltage deviates from the maximum power point voltage, ensuring that the energy harvesting device always works at the maximum power point, and the energy transmission efficiency is improved by more than 25%, and the output power fluctuation amplitude is controlled within ±5%.

[0019] 4. Highly adapt to the low-frequency strong magnetic field environment of hydroelectric generator set, and enable sensor self-power supply system The design of the application fully meets the scene requirements of non-intrusive energy harvesting of hydroelectric generator set, and solves the problem of poor environmental adaptability of traditional interface circuit and inability to support sensor self-power supply. According to the core requirements of low-frequency, strong magnetic field and non-intrusive energy harvesting of hydroelectric generator set, the three-level architecture works cooperatively to avoid the defects of traditional circuit such as sudden drop of efficiency at low frequency and inability to start. The weak alternating energy obtained by the magnetic field energy harvesting device can be efficiently converted into stable DC voltage available for sensors without relying on external power supply. It not only meets the long-term power supply demand of hydroelectric generator set state monitoring sensors such as vibration and temperature sensors, but also reduces the wiring and maintenance cost, and improves the independence and reliability of the hydroelectric generator set monitoring system.

[0020] In summary, through the cooperative optimization of three-level architecture, the application simultaneously realizes four core advantages of high matching efficiency, low rectification loss, low-power MPPT and strong environmental adaptation, effectively breaks through the technical bottleneck of hydroelectric generator set magnetic field energy harvesting, and provides an efficient and stable energy management solution for the hydroelectric generator set sensor self-power supply system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] As shown in Figure 1 An energy management method for a water turbine generator magnetic field energy extraction device, comprising the following steps: Step S1, using a series resonance matching method to offset the inductive impedance of the energy extraction coil; Step S2, using a four-voltage active rectifier method to realize low-loss rectification and improve the output voltage; Step S3, based on an RC tracking maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method, optimizing energy management, converting the alternating current obtained by the water turbine generator magnetic field energy extraction device into direct current available for sensors, while meeting the requirements of low power consumption and output stability.

[0023] In step S1, there are two commonly used matching circuits for single-frequency point matching in the matching network, one is a series resonance matching circuit, and the other is a parallel resonance matching circuit. For the series resonance matching circuit, a series capacitor C and an inductor L are selected for resonance; for the parallel resonance matching circuit, a parallel capacitor C and an inductor L are selected for resonance.

[0024] Whether it is a series resonance matching circuit or a parallel resonance matching circuit, impedance matching is achieved at a single fixed resonance frequency. Since the magnetic field frequency of the water turbine generator is usually stable, both series and parallel resonance can be achieved. The load output characteristics of the non-resonance matching circuit and the series-parallel resonance matching circuit are analyzed respectively below to verify the output power improvement effect of the resonance matching circuit and the difference in output characteristics between the series and parallel resonance networks.

[0025] For series matching circuit, the active power expression output to the load is:

[0026] wherein P is the output active power to the load, V is the output voltage of the magnetic field power device, R is the equivalent internal resistance of the power device coil, L is the equivalent inductance of the power coil, R is the load resistance, C is the series matching capacitance.

[0027] Other parameters being unchanged, in order to eliminate the inductance consumption reactive power, the resonance capacitance according to the maximum power transmission theory is:

[0028] For parallel matching circuit, the active power expression output to the load is:

[0029] Other parameters being unchanged, in order to eliminate the inductance consumption reactive power, the resonance capacitance according to the maximum power transmission theory is:

[0030]

[0031] The maximum power output of parallel matching is slightly greater than that of series matching, but the series matching has a larger power output in a larger resistance range, so the series matching circuit is more selected according to the load range. The series resonance matching circuit is designed, the capacitance C and the coil inductance L are selected to resonate, and the inductive impedance is offset, as shown in Figures 2-3 .

[0032] The power coil is equivalent to an inductance L =14.9mH and a series structure of internal resistance r i =34.2Ω, the resonance capacitance calculation is obtained:

[0033] When f=50Hz, C≈68μF is calculated; Step S2 constructs a four-voltage active rectifier circuit according to the analysis of the matching circuit in step S1, and a MOSFET and a comparator are combined to realize low-loss rectification; In order to reduce the conduction loss when low-voltage rectification, a four-voltage active rectifier circuit is designed: 1, device selection: low threshold MOSFET (ZXM61N02F and ZXM61P02F, V GS(th)Low to ± 0.7V) and ultra-low power comparator (TLV3702, operating current 560nA); 2, circuit topology: through four capacitors and MOSFET combination, four times voltage rectifier is realized; 3, self-starting mechanism: when the circuit is powered on, the MOSFET body diode is passively rectified, and when the output voltage reaches the comparator operating threshold, the comparator drives the MOSFET to switch to active rectification mode; 4, simulation verification: when the input is 50Hz, 1V amplitude AC, the output DC voltage is stable at 3.2V, as shown in Figures 4-5 .

[0034] Step S3 makes an energy management scheme according to the active rectifier circuit obtained in step S2 to realize maximum power output; Use the charging characteristics of the capacitor to track the maximum power point: Parallel RC series circuit at the output end of the rectifier circuit, when the switch S is closed, the capacitor C starts to charge through the resistor, and the voltage across the capacitor eventually reaches the voltage of the energy harvester H. When the switch S is opened, the capacitor C supplies power to the load.

[0035] Consider from 0 time to t time, the voltage Vc across the capacitor can be calculated by the following formula: ; Among them, , , The charging time constant is called C, which is the capacitance value, R H The internal resistance of the energy harvester is R c The equivalent resistance of the capacitor is V H The voltage of the energy harvester is V 0 is the initial voltage value of the capacitor at 0 time. When the system is just started, the capacitor voltage is initially 0, then: Consider the capacitor voltage at 0 time is 0, the charging current I C Can be calculated by the following formula: ; It can be seen that the capacitor charging voltage rises rapidly in an exponential law, and the current decreases rapidly in an exponential law, which shows that the charging speed of the capacitor is continuously decreasing, and the charging speed is the largest at the moment of circuit connection.

[0036] The capacitor stored energy EC is related to the current voltage of the capacitor, that is: ; The derivative of the stored energy EC with respect to time t is taken, and the charging power formula of the capacitor is obtained: ; Further, the relationship between the charging power P of the capacitor and the capacitor voltage VC is obtained, that is: ; It can be seen that the charging power P of the capacitor is only related to the variable VC, and the rest are constant values. Obviously, the charging power P of the capacitor is a quadratic function of the capacitor charging voltage VC, and has a maximum value. Taking the extreme value of the above formula, the condition for the charging power to take the maximum value is obtained, that is: ; That is, the charging power of the capacitor first increases and then decreases with the increase of the capacitor voltage, and has the maximum charging power when the capacitor voltage reaches half of the energy collector voltage. This conclusion is similar in principle to the open-circuit voltage method in the maximum power tracking (MPPT) theory. When the charging power of the capacitor reaches the maximum, it is the maximum power point of the energy collector transmitting energy to the next stage, which ensures that the energy obtained is transmitted to the next stage as much as possible.

[0037] After the energy collector is rectified, a series RC circuit composed of a capacitor C P and a resistor R P is connected in parallel, and the charging characteristics of the capacitor C P are used to track the maximum power point voltage V MPP , so as to realize the maximum power tracking control of the energy collector. In the RC parallel equivalent circuit, the output of the energy collection device after matching and rectification circuit can be equivalent to a power supply model containing equivalent resistance and equivalent capacitance, and the open-circuit voltage V H , R e is the internal resistance of the energy collector and the double voltage rectifier circuit, C e is the equivalent capacitance of the circuit output, V Ce is the voltage of the output equivalent capacitance C P , R e and C e can be obtained by actual measurement; in the RC circuit, V CP and V RP are the voltages across the introduced capacitor C P and resistor R P , respectively. Therefore, the time constant τ e of the charging process of the capacitor C e can be determined. In the RC circuit, the values of the capacitor C P and the resistor R P can be determined according to the time constant τ e of the charging process of the capacitor C P , and when appropriate C P and RP The parameter value can make the output equivalent capacitance C P The voltage V Ce reach the maximum output power point voltage V MPP When R C The output voltage V RP in the circuit reaches the peak value, so the peak voltage of V RP can be tracked to achieve the MPPT control of the energy collector, as Figure 6 Indicated.

[0038] The MPPT circuit design is shown in the attached Figures 7-8 , which consists of RC circuit, differential circuit, signal processing circuit, voltage sampling circuit and comparator, which is used to realize the energy management circuit to track the maximum power output of the energy collector.

[0039] The differential circuit is used to detect the peak value of the output voltage V RP of the RC circuit. When V RP ( t ) increases with time, the voltage on the input capacitance C D and the input resistance R D2 in the differential circuit will rise with V RP ( t ), but because the capacitor has the characteristics of storing charge, the rising speed of the voltage on the input capacitance C D will be slower than that on the input resistance, so the output of the differential circuit is high level, at this time the high level output is fed back to the capacitance C D through the resistance, so the voltage on the input capacitance C D is greater than that on the input resistance R D2 , at this time the output of the differential circuit is low level. Similarly, when V RP ( t ) decreases with time, the falling speed of the voltage on the input capacitance C D will be slower than that on the input resistance R D2 , at this time the output of the differential circuit is low level. Therefore, in the process of V RP ( t ) changing with time, the differential circuit will continuously output sharp pulse signal.
