Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy management and control technology, specifically to an energy management and control device for a multi-unit energy storage system operating on a common DC bus. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing automation of industrial production, multi-motor drive systems are widely used in manufacturing. Each motor operates in both driving and braking states during operation. The energy generated during braking is largely consumed as heat, resulting in significant energy loss. An effective solution is to use a common DC bus configuration to centrally control and manage energy, enabling self-consumption of energy among loads and greatly improving system energy utilization. However, this method still has the problem of excessive braking energy that the system cannot consume internally. The excess braking energy will still accumulate at the DC bus, causing a voltage surge.
[0003] Therefore, Chinese patent CN202011270303.7 proposes an energy management and control device for a multi-machine energy storage system operating on a common DC bus to solve the above problems. However, this device suffers from drawbacks such as multiple steps, complex control logic, low reliability, and high implementation difficulty when coordinating energy distribution between the motor in braking and motoring states.

The charging management unit is electrically connected to the DC / DC conversion module, and the discharging management unit is electrically connected to the first conversion module.
[0009] Beneficial effects This invention provides an energy management and control device for a multi-unit energy storage system operating on a common DC bus. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. The energy management and control device of the multi-unit operation energy storage system with a common DC bus, the control module judges the working status of each load according to the real-time power data of each load obtained by the power sensor. When the power value of a certain load is less than the second preset power threshold, it can be judged that the load is in a braking state. In this state, the braking energy needs to be transferred to avoid the braking energy causing the DC bus energy to accumulate and cause the DC bus voltage to rise. The control module sends a control signal to the first switching module and the energy management module to make the connection between the load and the DC / DC conversion module, and between the charging management unit and the energy storage module, so as to realize the transfer of the braking energy generated by the braking of the load to the energy storage module for storage through the first switching module and the DC / DC conversion module.
[0010] 2. The energy management and control device of the multi-unit energy storage system operating on a common DC bus, the control module judges the working status of each load based on the real-time power data of each load obtained by the power sensor. When the power value of a load is greater than the first preset power threshold, it can be judged that the load is in full-load working state. The control module sends a control signal to the second switching module and the energy management module, so that the energy storage module and the discharge management unit, as well as the second switching module and the load, are connected. The electrical energy stored in the energy storage module is delivered to the full-load load through the first conversion module and the second switching module, which can reduce the load of the entire power supply system. At the same time, the first current detection module detects the current used by the load, and the second current detection module detects the current output of the energy storage module. Then the data is transmitted to the control module. The control module compares the current of the load with the current of the full-load load to obtain the difference, and then controls the current limiting device to limit the current released by the energy storage module to prevent energy waste.
[0011] 3. The energy management and control device of the multi-unit energy storage system with a common DC bus, under normal load conditions, measures the DC bus voltage and the three-phase voltage and three-phase current at the output side of the AC / DC conversion module using a voltage and current detection module; reconstructs the DC bus current based on the three-phase voltage and three-phase current at the output side of the AC / DC conversion module; and estimates the DC bus capacitance value using a recursive least squares method based on the DC bus voltage and the reconstructed DC bus current. The specific steps for estimating the DC bus capacitance value using the recursive least squares method based on the DC bus voltage and the reconstructed DC bus current are described in the following formula. This improves estimation accuracy and ensures the DC bus capacitance can operate normally without affecting the stable operation of the load. Attached Figure Description

In Example 1, the control module 7 judges the working status of each load 5 based on the real-time power data of each load 5 obtained by the power sensor 6. When the power value of a certain load 5 is less than the second power preset threshold, it can be determined that the load 5 is in a braking state. In this state, the braking energy needs to be transferred to avoid the braking energy causing the DC bus 1 to accumulate energy and cause the DC bus 1 voltage to rise.

The control module 7 sends a control signal to the second switching module 8 and the energy management module 10, so that the energy storage module 11 and the discharge management unit 16, as well as the second switching module 8 and the load 5, are connected. The electrical energy stored in the energy storage module 11 is transmitted to the fully loaded load 5 through the first conversion module 9 and the second switching module 8, which can reduce the load of the entire power supply system. At the same time, the first current detection module 18 detects the current used by the load 5, and the second current detection module 20 detects the current output by the energy storage module 11. Then the data is transmitted to the control module 7. The control module 7 compares the current of the load 5 with the current of the full-load load 5 to obtain the difference. Then the current limiting device 19 is controlled to limit the current of the energy released by the energy storage module 11 to prevent energy waste.
