Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power supply technology, and in particular to a method for switching between multiple sources in a grid and a grid-connected cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] In a multi-source power supply system, the grid, energy storage system, photovoltaic system and load need to be connected through a grid-connected cabinet. The grid-connected cabinet coordinates and switches the power from the grid, energy storage system and photovoltaic system to supply power to the load.
[0003] The switching of existing grid-connected cabinets is mostly triggered by a single condition (such as abnormal grid voltage), which does not cover the complex scenarios of multi-source systems. Furthermore, the switching process has safety and stability risks, and it is difficult to coordinate the intermittency of photovoltaics, the limited capacity of energy storage, and the stability of the grid, resulting in low energy utilization efficiency and chaotic switching logic.
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technologies, there is an urgent need for a multi-source grid-connected switching method and grid-connected cabinet that is highly adaptable to the power grid, efficient in energy dispatch, and highly secure. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention addresses the problems and shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a novel method for multi-source grid-connected switching and a grid-connected cabinet.
[0006] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:
[0007] This invention provides a method for coordinated multi-source grid-connected switching, including a grid-connected cabinet, an energy storage module, a photovoltaic module, and a load. The grid-connected cabinet includes a combiner and distribution component, a control component, and multiple mode control buttons. The mode control buttons include a grid-connected button, an off-grid button, and an automatic switching button. The energy storage module includes an energy storage cabinet and an energy manager, an energy storage converter, and a battery pack disposed within the energy storage cabinet. The photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic array and a photovoltaic inverter.
[0008] The power distribution assembly includes multiple circuit breakers, multiple contactors, and an AC coupling bus. The circuit breakers include main circuit breakers and multiple branch circuit breakers. The contactors include main contactors and branch contactors. The AC coupling bus is connected to the power grid via the main contactors and main circuit breakers. The AC coupling bus is connected to energy storage modules via the branch circuit breakers. The AC coupling bus is connected to parallel loads and photovoltaic modules via the branch circuit breakers and branch contactors.
[0009] The control components include a switch, a serial server, and an I / O module. The energy manager interacts with the serial server and the I / O module via the switch. The input node of the I / O module is connected to the mode control button to obtain its status, and the input node of the I / O module is connected to the auxiliary contact of the circuit breaker to obtain its status. The output node of the I / O module is connected to and controls the circuit breaker and the contactor. The switching method includes the following steps:
[0010] Control the closure of multiple circuit breakers; press the mode button to select the control mode.
[0011] If the grid connection button is pressed, it is assumed that the power supply from the grid is normal. The energy manager controls the main contactor and the branch contactor to close sequentially through the IO module. Based on the load, the power generation of the photovoltaic array, and the status of the battery pack, the power of the photovoltaic array, the power of the battery pack, and the power of the grid are scheduled to supply power to the load in real time.
[0012] If the off-grid button is pressed, it is determined that no grid power supply is needed. The energy manager controls the closing of the sub-contaminant through the IO module, and schedules the power of the photovoltaic array and the power of the battery pack to supply power to the load in real time according to the load, the power generation of the photovoltaic array and the status of the battery pack.
[0013] If the automatic switching button is pressed, it is determined whether the main circuit breaker is closed. If closed, it is assumed that the power grid is supplying power normally. The energy manager controls the main contactor and branch contactor to close sequentially through the IO module. Based on the load, photovoltaic array power generation, and battery pack status, it schedules the photovoltaic array power, battery pack power, and grid power to supply power to the load in real time. If the main circuit breaker trips due to undervoltage, it is assumed that the power grid supply is abnormal. The energy manager controls the branch contactor to close through the IO module and schedules the photovoltaic array power and battery pack power to supply power to the load in real time. When the power grid supply returns to normal, the main circuit breaker automatically recovers from undervoltage tripping. The energy manager controls the main contactor to close through the IO module and schedules the photovoltaic array power, battery pack power, and grid power to supply power to the load in real time.
[0014] Preferably, the power distribution assembly further includes multiple electricity meters, which are correspondingly installed at the input terminals of multiple circuit breakers to measure the voltage, current, and power flowing through the corresponding circuit breaker; the multiple electricity meters are respectively connected to the serial port server to send the measured data, and according to the load conditions, photovoltaic array power generation status, and battery pack status, the photovoltaic array power, battery pack power, and grid power are scheduled in real time to supply power to the load, including the following steps:
[0015] Obtain load power and photovoltaic array power generation status, and control photovoltaic inverter and energy storage converter according to load and photovoltaic array power generation status;
[0016] If the power output of the photovoltaic array is greater than the load power, the power output of the photovoltaic array is converted from DC to AC by the photovoltaic inverter to supply power to the load, and the excess power is converted from AC to DC by the energy storage converter to charge the battery pack.
[0017] If the photovoltaic array's power output is less than the load power, the photovoltaic array's power output is converted from DC to AC by the photovoltaic inverter to supply power to the load; the energy storage converter switches to VSG mode, and the portion of the load power that is insufficient is supplied by the battery pack through the energy storage converter after DC to AC conversion; if the load power is still insufficient, it is supplied by the grid.
[0018] If the photovoltaic array is not generating electricity, it is in standby mode. During periods of low electricity demand, the grid charges the battery pack via AC-DC conversion through the energy storage converter, and then supplies power to the load. During periods of high electricity demand, the energy storage converter switches to VSG mode, and the battery pack supplies power to the load via DC-AC conversion through the energy storage converter. If the load power is still insufficient, the grid supplies power again.
[0019] Preferably, the photovoltaic array power and battery pack power are scheduled to supply power to the load in real time according to the load conditions, photovoltaic array power generation, and battery pack status, including the following steps:
[0020] Obtain load power and photovoltaic array power generation status, and control photovoltaic inverter and energy storage converter according to load and photovoltaic array power generation status;
[0021] If the power output of the photovoltaic array is greater than the load power, the power output of the photovoltaic array is converted from DC to AC by the photovoltaic inverter to supply power to the load, and the excess power is converted from AC to DC by the energy storage converter to charge the battery pack.
[0022] If the power output of the photovoltaic array is less than the load power, the power output of the photovoltaic array is supplied to the load after DC-AC conversion by the photovoltaic inverter; the energy storage converter switches to VSG mode, and the part of the load power that is insufficient is supplied to the load by the battery pack after DC-AC conversion by the energy storage converter.
[0023] If the photovoltaic array is not generating electricity, it is in standby mode; the energy storage converter switches to VSG mode, and the battery pack supplies power to the load after DC-AC conversion through the energy storage converter.
[0024] Preferably, the method further includes the following steps:
[0025] When the remaining charge of the battery pack is less than or equal to the set discharge threshold, the energy storage converter is controlled to stop supplying power to the load.
[0026] When the remaining charge of the battery pack is greater than or equal to the set full charge threshold, the control energy storage converter stops charging the battery pack.

According to the load 4, the power generation of photovoltaic array 31 and the status of battery pack, the power of photovoltaic array 31, battery pack and grid 5 are scheduled to supply power to load 4 in real time.

Based on the load 4, the power generation of the photovoltaic array 31, and the battery pack status, the power of the photovoltaic array 31 and the battery pack are scheduled in real time to supply power to the load 4.
[0050] S4: If the automatic switching button is pressed, determine whether the main circuit breaker 121 is closed. If it is closed, it is determined that the power grid 5 is supplying power normally. The energy manager controls the main contactor 123 and the branch contactor 124 to close sequentially through the IO module 133. Based on the load 4, the power generation of the photovoltaic array 31, and the battery pack status, the energy manager schedules the power of the photovoltaic array, the power of the battery pack, and the power of the grid to supply power to the load in real time.
