Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage charging and discharging technology, and more specifically, to an energy storage cabinet and its sponge power method for regulating power output at the end of the power grid. Background Technology
[0002] When charging new energy vehicles, current technology uses fuel cell stacks for charging. Taking an eight-car charging station as an example, a typical setup uses a 480kW fuel cell stack with four separate charging piles, each equipped with two charging guns, each with a power of 60kW. With all eight charging stations having 60kW charging guns, the fuel cell stack power is sufficient to meet the charging power requirements of the vehicles. However, when there are one or more high-power charging users, with one or more charging guns exceeding 60kW (e.g., two charging guns with a power of 200kW), the fuel cell stack power cannot meet the charging power requirements of the remaining vehicles, leading to a decrease in charging power for those vehicles.

[0020] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, an energy storage cabinet includes a cabinet body 1. A cabinet base 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cabinet body 1, and a top cover 3 is fixedly installed at the top end of the cabinet body 1. A base 4 is provided at the bottom of the cabinet base 2, and the cabinet base 2 is fixedly installed on the base 4. A cabinet door 5 is installed on one side of the cabinet body 1. A back panel 7 is fixedly installed on the side of the cabinet body 1 away from the cabinet door 5. Side panels 6 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the cabinet body 1 between the cabinet door 5 and the back panel 7. A plug sleeve 11 is fixedly installed on the side panel 6, and a charging gun 12 is inserted into the plug sleeve 11. A rainproof mechanism 13 is fixedly installed on the side of the back panel 7 away from the cabinet body 1. The top of the rainproof mechanism 13 is located on both sides facing the side panel 6 directly above the charging gun 12. The rainproof mechanism 13 can provide a certain rainproof effect for the charging gun 12, preventing the charging gun 12 from being damaged by rain in rainy weather.
[0021] To facilitate observation of the charging status, in this embodiment, a panel 8 is fixedly installed on the top side of the cabinet door 5 away from the cabinet body 1. The panel 8 is embedded in the cabinet door 5, and a display screen 9 is installed on the panel 8. An indicator light 10 is also installed on the panel 8 above the display screen 9. To enable heat dissipation inside the cabinet body 1, in this embodiment, a connecting shell 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top cover 3. The bottom end of the connecting shell 14 is sealed and fixedly installed on the top of the cabinet body 1. A cooling fan 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the connecting shell 14. An air vent (not shown) is opened at the bottom end of the connecting shell 14 facing the cooling fan 15. Several heat dissipation holes 16 are opened at the bottom of the top cover 3 on the outside of the connecting shell 14.
[0022] Please see Figure 7-10 In order to enable the charging gun 12 to be switched between the left and right sides according to the user's needs during actual use, in this embodiment, the base 4 has an upper cavity 17 and a lower cavity 18 inside. The side wall of the base 4 facing the cabinet door 5 has a fan-shaped hole 19. There are two fan-shaped holes 19, and the two fan-shaped holes 19 are respectively connected to the upper cavity 17 and the lower cavity 18. Both the upper cavity 17 and the lower cavity 18 are equipped with wire passing components 20. The end of the wire passing component 20 away from the vertical center line of the base 4 passes through the fan-shaped hole 19, and the wire passing component 20 is slidably connected to the fan-shaped hole 19. The top of the base 4 has a first passage 21 that communicates with the bottom of the cabinet base 2. The interior of the base 4 also has a second passage 22 that connects the upper cavity 17 and the lower cavity 18. The charging cable inside the cabinet 1 is fed into the upper cavity 17 through the first port 21, and then into the lower cavity 18 through the second port 22. After that, it passes through the cable guide assembly 20 in the upper cavity 17 and the lower cavity 18 respectively, through the fan-shaped hole 19, and finally connects to the charging gun 12. Because the cable guide assembly 20 can slide in the fan-shaped hole 19, when the user holds the charging gun 12 from one side of the cabinet 1 to the other side, the cable guide assembly 20 can slide in the fan-shaped hole 19, so that the charging gun 12 can be used on different sides of the cabinet 1. This makes it convenient for users to choose different charging guns 12 according to the location of their vehicle's charging port. After using the charging gun 12, it can be inserted into any empty socket 11. Moreover, because the cable guide assembly 20 can adjust the position of the charging cable, there is no need to worry about the cable being pulled or bent during the charging process.
[0023] To enable the cable guide assembly 20 to stably adjust the movement of the charging cable, in this embodiment, the cable guide assembly 20 includes a cable tube 201, which is horizontally positioned. A fixing block 202 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the cable tube 201 located within the fan-shaped hole 19. A protruding post 203 is fixedly installed at the center of the end of the fixing block 202 away from the cable tube 201. An arc-shaped groove 23 is formed on the inner wall of the fan-shaped hole 19 along its length, and the protruding post 203 slides within the arc-shaped groove 23. The charging cable can pass through the cable tube 201 to exit into the base 4 and connect to the charging gun 12. When the charging gun 12 pulls the charging cable, the cable tube 201 can slide within the arc-shaped groove 23 on the inner wall of the fan-shaped hole 19 via the protruding post 203 at the end of the fixing block 202, thereby changing the position of the charging cable extending from the bottom of the base 4.
[0024] To make the conduit 201 more stable when swinging, in this embodiment, a first annular groove 24 is provided on the bottom wall of the lower cavity 18, an annular plate 25 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the upper cavity 17, and a second annular groove 26 is provided on the top of the annular plate 25. A fixing block 202 is also fixedly installed on the bottom of the outer wall of one end of the conduit 201 inside the lower cavity 18 and / or the upper cavity 17. A protruding post 203 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the fixing block 202, and the protruding post 203 inside the lower cavity 18 is slidably disposed in the first annular groove 24, and the protruding post 203 inside the upper cavity 17 is slidably disposed in the second annular groove 26. In order to facilitate the delivery of external wire harnesses into the cabinet 1, a wire-passing hole 27 is provided on the side wall of the cabinet base 2.
[0025] Through the above-described solution of the present invention, the base 4 provided by the present invention can lead the charging cable out from the fan-shaped hole 19 opened on its side wall and connect it to the charging gun 12. The interior of the base 4 is opened into an upper cavity 17 and a lower cavity 18, and a conduit 201 is installed. Thus, during the movement of the charging gun 12, the charging cable can also move inside the base 4 through the conduit 201, which makes it more convenient for the user to pull the charging cable and avoids the folding of the charging cable during charging. Moreover, the charging gun 12 can be installed regardless of left or right, which provides convenience for the user.
[0026] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 11-17In Embodiment 1, regardless of how the charging gun 12 is inserted into the sleeves 11 on different side plates 6, the rainproof mechanism 13 at its top must be directly above it. However, in sunny weather, rainproofing is unnecessary. To improve the effectiveness of the rainproof mechanism 13, in this embodiment, the rainproof mechanism 13 includes a mounting base 28 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the back plate 7. A cylinder 29 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 28. A horizontally arranged support bar 30 is also fixedly installed on the upper part of the outer wall of the back plate 7. A vertical plate 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the support bar 30. The vertical plate 31 also has a strip hole 32 facing the connecting shell 14. A fixing bracket 33 is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical plate 31 away from the top cover 3. A vertically arranged sliding groove 34 is opened at the end of the fixing bracket 33 away from the vertical plate 31. A strip block 35 is slidably installed, with its bottom end connected to the output shaft end of the cylinder 29. A crossbar 36 is fixedly installed at both ends of the strip block 35 facing the top cover 3, and locking blocks 37 are fixedly installed at both ends of the crossbar 36. A traction rope 42 is fixedly installed between the two locking blocks 37 on the same side of the strip block 35. An extension plate 38 is integrally provided on the side of the vertical plate 31 facing the top cover 3, located above the top cover 3. An assembly block 39 is fixedly installed on the extension plate 38, and a rotating shaft 40 is rotatably installed inside the assembly block 39. One end of the rotating shaft 40 facing the vertical plate 31 penetrates the vertical plate 31, and a rotating wheel 41 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft 40 penetrating the vertical plate 31. The traction rope 42 is wound around the outside of the rotating wheel 41. A rainproof component 44 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft 40 away from the rotating wheel 41.
[0027] The cylinder 29 drives the strip block 35 to move up and down. When the strip block 35 moves, it can drive the locking block 37 to move synchronously through the crossbar 36. At this time, the locking block 37 can rotate the wound wheel 41 through the traction rope 42. The rotating wheel 41 then drives the rotating shaft 40 to rotate synchronously, so that the rotating shaft 40 can drive the rainproof component 44 to flip. According to practical needs, the rainproof component 44 can be flipped to the top of the charging gun 12 for rain protection, or flipped to the top of the top cover 3 for sun protection.
[0028] In order to enable the traction rope 42 to stably drive the rotating wheel 41 to rotate, in this embodiment, a third annular groove (not shown) is provided on the outer side of the rotating wheel 41, the traction rope 42 is wound in the third annular groove, and a limit pin 43 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating wheel 41. The limit pin 43 is used to position the traction rope 42 on the rotating wheel 41.
[0029] To ensure the rainproof component 44 provides effective rain and sun protection, in this embodiment, the rainproof component 44 includes a rainproof plate 45. A mounting groove 50 is provided on the bottom surface of the rainproof plate 45 near the rotating shaft 40. A connecting plate 47 is fixedly installed within the mounting groove 50. A fixing sleeve 48 is integrally provided at the end of the connecting plate 47 away from the rainproof plate 45. The fixing sleeve 48 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft 40. When the rotating shaft 40 rotates, it drives the fixing sleeve 48 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the fixing sleeve 48, through the connecting plate 47, drives the rainproof plate 45 to flip, placing it directly above the charging gun 12 or directly above the top cover 3, thus providing rain protection for the charging gun 12 or the top cover 3. To further improve the practicality of the rainproof plate 45, in this embodiment, a groove 49 is also provided on the bottom end face of the rainproof plate 45 when it is directly above the charging gun 12. A photovoltaic panel 46 is installed within the groove 49. When the rain shield 45 is above the top cover 3, it should be sunny, and the photovoltaic panel 46 should be facing upwards, so it can achieve the effect of photovoltaic charging and provide photovoltaic charging for the energy storage module inside the cabinet 1. When the rain shield 45 is flipped over to be above the charging gun 12, it is raining, and the photovoltaic panel 46 should be facing downwards. While the rain shield 45 protects the charging gun 12 from rain, it can also prevent the photovoltaic panel 46 from getting wet.
[0030] In order to enable the strip block 35 to be stably connected to the output shaft of the cylinder 29, in this embodiment, a connecting strip 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the strip block 35, and a threaded hole 52 is opened at the end of the connecting strip 51 away from the strip block 35, and the output shaft end of the cylinder 29 is fixedly installed in the threaded hole 52.
[0031] Through the above-described solution of the present invention, the rainproof mechanism 13 provided by the present invention can rotate and adjust the position of the rainproof plate 45 according to the needs. It can not only protect the charging gun 12 from rain, but also provide shade for the top cover 3 on sunny days. Moreover, since a photovoltaic panel 46 is also installed on one side of the rainproof plate 45, it can provide photovoltaic charging for the energy storage module inside the cabinet 1 while providing shade for the top cover 3. In addition, the photovoltaic panel 46 can also be rotated in rainy days to prevent it from getting wet.
[0032] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 1 - For Embodiments 1 and 2, the present invention also provides a sponge power method based on the above-mentioned energy storage cabinet applied to the end of the power grid to regulate power output, which mainly includes the following steps: S1. Obtain the status of the inverter module and charging module in the energy storage cabinet, and verify the status of the inverter module and charging module; S2. Monitor the real-time charging power P of the charging module. c Determine the threshold allowable power P0 and judge the real-time charging power P. cIs it greater than the gate-permitted power P0? S4, if P in S2 c If -P0>0, then the inverter is controlled to discharge, and the discharge power is P. c The difference between -P0 and the initial state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage module is determined, and it is also determined whether the SOC of the energy storage module is greater than 10% during this process. S5. If SOC > 10% in S4, control the inverter to continue discharging; if SOC ≤ 10%, limit the real-time charging power, making P... c =P0; S6. If P in S3 c -P0≤0, determine whether the initial state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage module is greater than 90% during this process; S7. If SOC > 90% in S6, the real-time charging power of the inverter is 0. If SOC ≤ 90%, the inverter charging power is controlled to be P0 - P. c .
[0033] Conventional power configuration methods require a power capacity with a rated power of at least Pmax to meet the normal operation of the load at maximum output. However, by deploying this energy storage cabinet on the power load side at the end of the grid and installing an energy storage system and its intelligent control system inside, the load status and available power capacity can be tracked and calculated in real time. Only a power capacity with a rated power (gate-permitted power) of P0 is required to meet normal use.
[0034] When the electrical load exceeds the power output control line, the energy storage system automatically detects the fluctuation and uses an intelligent algorithm to match the energy storage discharge output, ensuring that the power output is lower than the power control line and does not exceed the frequency limit. When the electrical load is lower than the power output control line, the energy storage system intelligently matches the charging process based on the load idle margin and state of charge, and actually replenishes the power while ensuring that the overall power output does not exceed the control line.
[0035] To facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in actual process will be described in detail below.
[0036] In practical applications, the base 4 of this invention allows the charging cable to be led out through the fan-shaped hole 19 on its side wall and connected to the charging gun 12. The interior of the base 4 is divided into an upper cavity 17 and a lower cavity 18, and a conduit 201 is installed therein. Thus, during the movement of the charging gun 12, the charging cable can also move through the conduit 201 inside the base 4, making it easier for the user to pull the charging cable and avoiding folding of the charging cable during charging. Moreover, the charging gun 12 can be installed regardless of left or right, providing convenience for the user.
[0037] The rain-shielding mechanism 13 of this invention can be flipped and adjusted according to needs, so as to protect the charging gun 12 from rain and provide shade for the top cover 3 on sunny days.

It should ensure an absorption rate of over 90% even when the photovoltaic power installed is less than the distribution capacity. The self-peak shaving and self-balancing capabilities of the new charging infrastructure should be improved, with a self-regulation capability of no less than 50% of the peak power of the new charging infrastructure.
