Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aviation power technology, and in particular to an energy system applied to a mobile test stand for aviation hybrid electric power units. Background Technology

[0002] With the global aviation industry's shift towards low-carbon and emission-reduction development, hybrid electric power systems have become an important development direction in the field of aviation power technology due to their significant advantages in controlling energy consumption and reducing pollutant emissions. Their widespread application is widely regarded as one of the core supports for the aviation industry's low-carbon transformation. To ensure the design rationality, operational reliability, and performance stability of hybrid electric power systems, comprehensive ground testing during the development phase is crucial. This testing allows for multi-dimensional compliance verification of the hybrid electric power system design, providing key technical support for subsequent installation and application.

[0003] To address the performance testing needs of hybrid electric systems in low-altitude, low-speed environments, traditional fixed test benches suffer from drawbacks such as high equipment investment, poor flexibility, and limited testing scenarios, making it difficult to meet the requirements of efficient and low-cost testing. Against this backdrop, mobile test benches, with their high flexibility and wide adaptability, have emerged as an efficient solution. They can be modified based on mature transportation platforms, and the movement of these platforms provides a low-speed flow environment for hybrid electric systems. This fully meets the testing requirements for low-altitude, low-speed conditions while effectively reducing the proportion of heavy asset investment in testing equipment, and has already seen initial applications in related fields.

[0004] However, the existing mobile test bench design still has the following problems:

[0005] First, most current products adopt a "transportation platform + independent test energy system" architecture. That is, the transportation platform only undertakes the functions of providing the incoming flow environment and carrying the hybrid power system. The energy system of the test platform itself and the energy system of the hybrid power system are set up independently and operate separately, without considering the inherent connection between the two.

[0006] Secondly, from the perspective of practical application scenarios and energy utilization, the test bench energy system and hybrid power system have a deep coupling relationship in multiple physical dimensions such as energy supply, load regulation, and waste energy recovery. The existing independent energy system design fails to make full use of this coupling characteristic, resulting in low energy utilization efficiency of the entire energy system. Furthermore, the separate configuration of the two independent systems also increases the overall cost and complexity of the equipment.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a solution to improve one or more problems existing in the above-mentioned related technical solutions.

[0008] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0028] The energy system proposed in this application embodiment for a mobile test stand of an aviation hybrid electric power unit will be described in more detail below.

[0029] In existing aerospace propulsion technology, the energy systems of the mobile test stand and the test specimen are independent, resulting in a lack of interconnection between the two energy systems and low utilization. Therefore, this application proposes an energy system for a mobile test stand of an aerospace hybrid electric propulsion device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the energy system may include interconnected components:

[0030] The test bench energy subsystem includes the first power battery pack and bidirectional... Converter, bidirectional Inverter, energy management controller, bidirectional permanent magnet synchronous motor.

[0031] Furthermore, the first power battery pack is connected in parallel with bidirectional... Converter and bidirectional The inverter is bidirectionally connected. The converter and energy management controller are connected in one direction only, and in two directions only. The inverter is bidirectionally connected to the bidirectional permanent magnet synchronous motor.

[0032] The hybrid electric power energy subsystem includes a power generation unit, a current combining unit, an energy storage unit, and a power output unit.

[0033] Furthermore, the power generation unit and the first port of the combiner unit are connected in one direction only.

[0034] Here, the power generation unit includes a turbine generator set connected in one direction in sequence and rectifier, The rectifier's output is unidirectionally connected to the first port of the combiner unit. The turbine generator set supplies AC power. The rectifier is responsible for converting the alternating current (AC) of the turbine generator set into direct current (DC).

[0035] The turbine generator set and the second power battery pack can jointly provide power or separately provide power to drive the permanent magnet synchronous motor. Simultaneously, the turbine generator set can also charge the second power battery pack while independently driving the permanent magnet synchronous motor.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bus unit is preferably configured as a bus bar. The fourth port of the bus bar is connected to the bidirectional... The converter is bidirectionally connected, thus enabling the connection between the test bench energy subsystem and the hybrid electric power energy subsystem, achieving interconnection between the two energy subsystems. The busbar's power output is DC transmission, and the preferred voltage range for the busbar is 400V~600V.

[0037] Furthermore, the energy storage unit includes Converter and second power battery pack, The converter is bidirectionally connected to the second port of the second power battery pack and the combiner unit, respectively.

[0038] Furthermore, the power output unit includes sequentially connected in one direction. Inverter, permanent magnet synchronous motor and propulsion unit; among which, The inverter's input terminal is unidirectionally connected to the third port of the combiner unit.

[0039] In this embodiment, bidirectional The inverter and the first motor controller are integrated into one unit. The inverter and the second motor controller are integrated into one unit.

[0040] In this embodiment, both the first and second power battery packs use lithium iron phosphate batteries, and the instantaneous discharge rates of both the first and second power battery packs are... The continuous discharge rate of both the first and second power battery packs is .

[0041] The specific implementation process of the energy system for a mobile test stand for an aviation hybrid electric power unit proposed in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0042] During the initial phase of the mobile test stand, the first power battery pack in the test stand's energy subsystem can be used to power the bidirectional permanent magnet synchronous motor, driving the mobile test stand to move. Alternatively, the turbine generator set and the second power battery pack in the hybrid electric power subsystem can be used together to power the permanent magnet synchronous motor. The permanent magnet synchronous motor drives the thruster to generate aerodynamic thrust, driving the mobile test stand to move. Furthermore, the test stand's energy subsystem and the hybrid electric power subsystem can work together to drive the mobile test stand to move.

[0043] During the driving phase on the mobile test bench, the hybrid electric power subsystem is used first to accelerate the vehicle or maintain a constant speed. If the driving force provided by the hybrid electric power subsystem is insufficient, it will be supplemented by the test bench energy subsystem.

[0044] During the braking and stopping phase on the mobile test stand, the test stand's energy subsystem is used first to decelerate and brake the vehicle. If the braking force is insufficient, the driving force provided by the hybrid electric power subsystem is rapidly reduced. During this phase, the bidirectional permanent magnet synchronous motor in the test stand's energy subsystem mainly operates in generator mode, prioritizing the replenishment of power to the second power battery pack. Once the second power battery pack is fully charged, it then replenishes power to the first power battery pack.

[0045] In practical use, the energy distribution of the entire energy system can be adjusted according to the state of charge (SOC) of the first and second power battery packs. If the SOC of the first power battery pack is too low, the energy from the second power battery pack will be used preferentially, and vice versa. If the SOC of both the first and second power battery packs is low, the state of the turbine generator set needs to be changed to quickly replenish the energy of both power battery packs.
