Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power supply, and in particular to an uninterruptible power supply system. Background Technology

[0002] With the iterative development of new energy battery technology, various types of batteries, such as lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and fuel cells, have been widely used in different fields. In the field of uninterruptible power supply (UPS), in addition to single-type battery solutions, there has been exploration of dual-battery combination applications, aiming to integrate the performance advantages of different batteries.

[0003] Current uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems based on single-battery systems face insurmountable technical bottlenecks: traditional lead-acid batteries, used as backup power for UPS systems, have an energy density of only about 0.2 kWh / kg, resulting in bulky equipment, limited battery life, and a cycle life of only 500-1000 charge-discharge cycles, requiring frequent replacement and incurring high maintenance costs. Furthermore, they contain toxic and harmful substances such as lead and cadmium, making them environmentally unfriendly. While single-aluminum-air batteries offer advantages such as high energy density (theoretical value 8.1 kWh / kg) and good environmental performance, their slow start-up response and inability to seamlessly connect to the mains power supply after an outage limit their large-scale application in the UPS field. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The power control unit is also used for: When the voltage stability parameter indicates an abnormality in the mains power, the power conversion unit is controlled to open the first switch and the static switch and close the third switch, using the energy storage start-up battery module to supply power, and simultaneously triggering the aluminum-air battery reaction module to start.

[0026] When the voltage of the aluminum-air battery reaction module reaches a preset operating threshold, the power conversion unit is controlled to use the aluminum-air battery reaction module and the energy storage start-up battery module to supply power in a coordinated manner, specifically including: When the load power is less than the rated power of the aluminum-air battery reaction module, the power conversion unit is controlled to open the first switch, the static switch and the third switch, and close the second switch, so that only the aluminum-air battery reaction module is used for power supply.

[0027] In one embodiment of this application, the uninterruptible power supply system further includes a cloud platform; The cloud platform is connected to the data acquisition module and the battery management system respectively, and is used to store voltage stability parameters, load power, status parameters of aluminum-air battery reaction module and status parameters of energy storage start-up battery module.

[0028] In one embodiment of this application, the uninterruptible power supply system further includes a backup battery pack, the output terminal of which is connected to the first terminal of a fourth switch, and the second terminal of the fourth switch is connected to the input terminal of the inverter unit.

[0029] The power control unit is also used to determine whether the status parameters of the aluminum-air battery reaction module and the status parameters of the energy storage start-up battery module are abnormal. When the status parameters of the aluminum-air battery reaction module or the energy storage start-up battery module are abnormal, the power conversion unit is controlled to disconnect the first switch, the static switch, the second switch and the third switch, and close the fourth switch to start the backup battery pack to supply power. When the status parameters of the aluminum-air battery reaction module and the energy storage start-up battery module are both abnormal, the power conversion unit is controlled to shut down the inverter unit.

[0030] The energy storage start-up battery module is a lithium titanate battery pack or a lithium iron phosphate battery pack, and the backup battery pack is a lead-acid battery pack or a vanadium redox flow battery pack.

[0031] The specific steps for implementing an uninterruptible power supply system are as follows: 1. System Initialization and Parameter Acquisition Steps: After the power control unit starts, it collects core parameters in real time through the battery management unit, including the voltage (U1), current (I1), remaining capacity (SOC1), and temperature (T1) of the lithium titanate energy storage start-up battery; the voltage (U2), current (I2), remaining capacity (SOC2), and temperature (T2) of the aluminum-air battery; and the voltage stability parameters of the AC380V mains power. The acquisition cycle is set to 100ms to ensure the real-time performance of parameters and the accuracy of control. Purpose: To build a system operating status database, providing data support for subsequent mode switching, energy distribution, and safety protection, and enabling early identification of abnormal operating conditions.

[0032] 2. Mains Power Normal Mode Control Procedure: When the power control unit determines that the mains voltage is stable (fluctuation range ≤ ±5%), it controls the static switch to switch to mains bypass power supply mode, enabling direct mains power supply to the load and reducing energy conversion losses. Simultaneously, it controls the aluminum-air battery to remain in offline standby mode, and the energy storage start-up battery enters float charging maintenance mode (charging current ≤ 0.1C), with the AC / DC unit replenishing its power via the DC / DC module. Function: To maximize the utilization of mains power, reduce battery losses, and ensure that the energy storage start-up battery is always in a fully charged standby state.

[0033] 3. Mains power failure mode control steps: (e.g.) Figure 2 As shown, when a mains power outage or excessive voltage fluctuation is detected, the power control unit immediately triggers the energy storage start-up battery to start supplying power with zero-delay response, achieving seamless power supply switching. The power is regulated by the DC / DC module and then delivered to the inverter unit, where it is converted into a stable AC 380V voltage output to the load. Simultaneously, a start command is sent to the aluminum-air battery. When the aluminum-air battery voltage U2 reaches the preset operating threshold (≥24V), the control switch completes the main power supply switchover, with the aluminum-air battery taking over the main power supply task. The energy storage start-up battery stops discharging and resumes float charging (if SOC1 < 90%, the aluminum-air battery replenishes its power via the DC / DC module). Function: To achieve seamless connection between mains power outages and backup power supply, while simultaneously considering instantaneous response speed and long-term endurance.

[0034] 4. Dynamic load allocation steps: The power control unit collects the load power P_load in real time and compares it with the rated output power P_AAB of the aluminum-air battery. Figure 2 As shown, the dynamic power supply adjustment strategy of this application is as follows: ① When P_load < P_AAB, the aluminum-air battery is given priority to power the load, and the surplus power is used to charge the energy storage start-up battery through the DC / DC module; ② When P_load ≥ P_AAB, the dual battery packs are controlled to supply power in parallel, and the output current is dynamically allocated by the battery management unit (satisfying I1 + I2 = P_load / U_out, where U_out is the inverter output voltage) to ensure power supply stability. Function: Optimizes energy utilization efficiency, avoids overload operation of a single battery, and extends battery life.

[0035] 5. Maintenance Mode Control Procedure: When the battery management unit detects an abnormality in the energy storage start-up battery (e.g., SOC1 < 20%, T1 > 60℃) or receives a manual maintenance command, the power control unit first starts the aluminum-air battery and confirms its stable operation (U2, T2 meet preset thresholds). Then, it controls the switch to shut down the charging and discharging circuit of the energy storage start-up battery, switching to a single power supply from the aluminum-air battery. After maintenance is completed, a manual reset command is triggered, and the system returns to the dual-battery collaborative power supply mode. Function: To achieve uninterrupted power supply during battery maintenance, ensuring the continuity of load operation.

[0036] 6. Safety Protection Control Procedures: When the battery management unit detects any abnormal operating condition in any battery module, including overcurrent (I1>5C, I2>2C), overvoltage (U1>58.8V, U2>30V), or overtemperature (T1>65℃, T2>55℃), the power control unit immediately shuts down the charging and discharging circuit of the corresponding battery, simultaneously activates the backup battery pack for power supply, and sends an alarm message to the cloud platform via the 4G module. If all batteries malfunction, the inverter unit shutdown protection is triggered to prevent equipment damage or escalation of safety accidents. Function: To construct multiple safety protection barriers and improve system operational reliability.

[0037] 7. Remote Data Transmission and Storage Steps: The power control unit uploads mains power parameters, battery operating parameters, load parameters, and operating mode information to the cloud platform in real time via a 4G module. Simultaneously, it stores local data through a human-machine interface (storage period ≥ 90 days). The cloud platform can issue remote control commands (such as forcibly starting the aluminum-air battery or switching operating modes) to achieve remote operation and maintenance and fault diagnosis. Benefits: Reduces offline maintenance workload and facilitates operational data traceability, fault analysis, and full lifecycle management.

[0038] The working principle of the uninterruptible power supply system in this application is as follows: When the mains power is normal: Mains power → AC / DC unit (rectified to DC) → splits into two paths: one path supplies power to the inverter unit → load; the other path charges the energy storage start-up battery, keeping the battery fully charged for standby. At this time, the bypass channel is in hot standby mode. If the inverter fails, it will automatically switch to bypass power supply.

[0039] When the mains power is interrupted: the energy storage start-up battery + aluminum-air battery immediately output DC to the inverter unit through the battery interface → the inverter unit continuously outputs stable AC power to the load, realizing zero-interruption power supply (because the load is always powered by the inverter, there is no need to switch).

[0040] When mains power is restored: the AC / DC unit resumes operation, re-supplying the inverter unit and charging the battery to full capacity, and the system automatically returns to normal mode.

[0041] Bypass mode (in case of fault / overload): If the inverter fails or the load is overloaded, the switching switch will immediately switch to the bypass channel, and the mains power will directly supply power to the load, while protecting the internal modules of the uninterruptible power supply.

[0042] Energy storage starting battery + aluminum-air battery operation: The combined battery solution, with its intelligent aluminum-air battery management system, intelligently allocates the energy output of the lithium titanate starter battery and the aluminum-air battery according to the actual needs of the system and the battery status, ensuring that the two operate in parallel efficiently, stably and safely.

[0043] Logic control for switching on / off of energy storage start-up batteries and aluminum-air batteries: The battery management unit installed in the lithium titanate battery can acquire key parameters such as battery voltage, current, remaining charge (SOC), and temperature in real time, thereby understanding the battery's working status. During normal startup, the lithium titanate energy storage starter battery is used for power supply. The information obtained by the battery management unit determines the voltage or SOC of the lithium titanate energy storage starter battery and automatically starts the aluminum-air battery. The battery management unit can rationally allocate the energy output of the energy storage start-up battery and the aluminum-air battery based on the actual needs of the system and the state of the two types of batteries. When the system load is low, i.e., the load power is less than the output power of the aluminum-air battery, the fuel cell can be used to supply power first, while the aluminum-air battery supplies power to the load and charges the energy storage start-up battery at the same time. When the system load is high, both batteries can be used simultaneously to supply power to meet the system's energy requirements. Charge and discharge control: For energy storage start-up batteries, the charging and discharging process is precisely controlled, and the power and status of the energy storage batteries are monitored in real time to avoid overcharging or over-discharging from damaging the battery performance and to ensure that it can work stably and reliably when connected in parallel.

[0044] Battery maintenance output mode: When the energy storage start-up battery needs maintenance, it can receive a start-up aluminum-air battery. After the aluminum-air battery starts up, the energy storage start-up battery can be shut down to perform maintenance on the energy storage start-up battery.

[0045] The battery switching control logic also includes a series of safety protection measures, such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, and overtemperature protection. When the battery system malfunctions, the battery management unit will immediately shut down the battery's charging and discharging circuits to prevent battery damage or safety accidents.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, the uninterruptible power supply system configuration of an uninterruptible power supply room is as follows: Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) model: RT20C, capacity: 20KVA / 16kW, output: 380VAC, 50Hz; AC input: 380V, AC, 50Hz; Battery input: 384V, DC; Battery parameters: 12V, DC; capacity: 38AH, using 32 cells in series.

[0047] Lithium titanate battery options: The start-up time of an aluminum-air battery is generally 5-10 minutes; we will calculate based on 10 minutes. According to the load conditions: 1. Discharge power calculation: With a load of 16kW and an uninterruptible power supply inverter efficiency of 90%, the inverter power P1 = 16 / 0.9 = 17.8kW; 2. Capacity (C) calculation: In an emergency, with a discharge time of 10 minutes, the required capacity C1 = 17.8 × (10 ÷ 60) = 2.96kWh; Considering the battery charging coefficient of 0.93, aging coefficient of 0.92 (5 years), high current discharge, and temperature coefficient of 0.9 (25℃), the actual battery capacity selected is Ce = 2.96 ÷ 0.93 ÷ 0.92 ÷ 0.9 = 3.85kWh; considering a 10% margin, Ce = 3.85kWh. 1.1 = 4.2 kWh.

[0048] In summary: The recommended battery is a Toshiba 2.3V, 20AH lithium titanate cell, with a discharge rate of 8-10C. It has a capacity of 20AH / 220.8V (operating voltage range DC192-244.8V) and a capacity of 20... 220.8 = 4.42 kWh > 4.22 kWh, which meets the requirements. The battery's continuous discharge rate is 5C (C is the battery capacity; 5C means discharging at 5 times the battery capacity, i.e., the battery discharge power is based on the battery capacity). 5) Design, discharge power 4.2 5 = 21 kW > 17.8 kW, which meets the discharge power requirement. Aluminum-air battery option: 1. Aluminum-air battery power selection: Assuming the uninterruptible power supply inverter efficiency is 90%, P1 = 16 / 0.9 = 17.8kW; 2. Aluminum-air battery capacity selection: Primary battery capacity DC 384V 38Ah = 14.6kWh, the required capacity is based on the original battery configuration C1: = 14.6kWh; lithium battery capacity: 4.42kWh, aluminum-air battery capacity: 14.6 - 4.42 = 10.172kWh; select 80Ah / 32V aluminum-air battery modules, using 6 modules in series, output working DC 192-240V, battery capacity 80... 32 6 = 15.36 kWh, the total battery capacity of the system is 15.36 kWh + 4.42 kWh = 19.78 kWh > 10.172 kWh.

[0049] Traditional uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems use a large number of lead-acid batteries, resulting in significant maintenance workload. The batteries in UPS systems also have excessively large capacities, often remaining in a float charging state, thus failing to utilize their full potential, and upgrades are costly. This application adopts a lithium titanate battery + aluminum-air battery combination solution. While doubling the battery capacity, it significantly reduces the product's size and weight, making it less than one-third the size and weight of the original lead-acid UPS system. This makes UPS system integration feasible (multiple systems combined would increase battery capacity requirements, and the original installation space was limited; system integration solves the installation space problem). Furthermore, the battery management unit collects battery and system operating parameters in real time, enabling seamless collaborative power supply between the lithium titanate energy storage start-up battery and the aluminum-air battery, while also ensuring rapid response after mains power outages and long-term endurance.

The modular design with 9 stacks allows for flexible capacity expansion to adapt to different battery life scenarios.

[0052] 3. High safety and reliability: Safety protection across the entire chain, from materials to system construction, eliminates the risk of fire and explosion.

Combined with a comprehensive self-testing process, it further enhances the reliability of system operation.

[0053] 4. Low maintenance cost and environmentally friendly: Daily maintenance-free operation, low battery replacement frequency, and strong environmental friendliness. Core mechanism: Integrating multiple technologies including "maintenance-free aluminum-air battery characteristics + long cycle life of lithium titanate + environmentally friendly material selection + automatic cleaning and maintenance design," the aluminum-air battery requires no frequent charging and discharging maintenance, and the lithium titanate has a cycle life exceeding 25,000 cycles; the system's automatic cleaning and maintenance mode significantly reduces manual intervention; each battery is free of harmful substances such as lead and cadmium, and the reaction products of the aluminum-air battery are recyclable, meeting the requirements of green development.

[0054] 5. Wide adaptability and high flexibility: Supports dual AC / DC power supply modes, adapting to extreme temperature zones and different load requirements. Core mechanism: Adopts "modular structure design + dual working mode control logic + wide temperature adaptation design" technology. AC / DC working mode switching is achieved through a mode selection switch, and a traditional battery access port is reserved to improve selection flexibility; the heating rod and heat dissipation system are controlled in tandem, enabling the system to operate stably in environments ranging from -40℃ to +70℃, adapting to extreme scenarios; the modular design of 9 fuel cells can flexibly adjust the number of operating cells according to the load power, improving load adaptability.

[0055] 6. High Ease of Operation and Maintenance: Enables remote operation and maintenance and data traceability, reducing operation and maintenance costs. Core Mechanism: Relying on "4G module + human-machine interface + full parameter monitoring and recording" technology, the cloud platform can view the equipment operating status in real time, receive fault alarms, and store more than 90 days of operating data locally for easy traceability and analysis; the automatic cleaning and maintenance mode reduces the workload of offline operation and maintenance, and lowers personnel costs.

[0056] 7. High energy efficiency: Optimized energy distribution reduces losses. Core mechanism: Employing a "dynamic load distribution control method + precise electrolyte temperature control + high-efficiency heat dissipation system" technology, the power supply is intelligently adjusted based on the dynamic matching between the load power and the rated power of the aluminum-air battery; the heating rod and heat dissipation system work together to control the electrolyte temperature, ensuring stable battery reaction efficiency; efficient liquid circulation and heat dissipation design reduce energy loss and improve the overall energy efficiency of the system.
