[0039] 8. A multi-energy complementary DC power supply system for monitoring buoys using photoelectric and oil storage as described in claim 2, characterized in that the load equipment includes observation sensors, communication equipment, and low-voltage DC power loads, and the load equipment is connected to the DC bus through corresponding DC / DC converters, including 48V / 20A converters, 24V / 20A converters, 12V / 20A converters, and 5V / 20A converters.

[0040] The input terminal of the aforementioned 48V / 20A converter is connected to the DC bus output terminal, and the output terminal is connected to the 48V load device input terminal; the input terminal of the 24V / 20A converter is connected to the DC bus output terminal, and the output terminal is connected to the 24V load device input terminal; the input terminal of the 12V / 20A converter is connected to the DC bus output terminal, and the output terminal is connected to the 12V load device input terminal; the input terminal of the 5V / 20A converter is connected to the DC bus output terminal, and the output terminal is connected to the 5V load device input terminal.

[0043] In the preferred scheme, such as Figure 2 As shown, a supercapacitor energy storage module is connected in series between the output terminal of the AC / DC module of the aforementioned diesel generator system and the DC bus. The supercapacitor energy storage module includes a supercapacitor bank and an adaptive DC-DC converter. The DC-DC converter enables voltage adaptation between the supercapacitor bank and the 72V DC bus.

[0044] The diesel generator described above has a micro-start fuel control valve in its fuel circuit and a start-stop buffer clutch on its main shaft. The micro-start fuel control valve, the start-stop buffer clutch, and the supercapacitor energy storage module are all electrically connected to the microcontroller. The lithium battery pack communicates with the microcontroller controller through the battery management unit.

The adapter DC-DC converter is equipped with a charge and discharge protection module to limit the charge and discharge current and voltage of the supercapacitor bank.

[0046] The aforementioned micro-start fuel control valve is an electronic proportional fuel control valve, which is linked to the fuel pump of the diesel generator. The microcontroller controller can adjust the fuel supply of the diesel generator through the micro-start fuel control valve, so as to achieve precise control of the generator output power within the range of 80%-100% of the rated power.

[0047] The aforementioned start-stop buffer clutch is an electromagnetic buffer clutch. Its engagement and disengagement are controlled by electrical signals from a microcontroller. When the clutch is engaged, it enables shock-free power output from the generator main shaft, and when it is disengaged, it enables the generator to stop without load.

[0048] The aforementioned supercapacitor energy storage module and lithium battery pack form a hybrid energy storage structure. Both interact with a bidirectional DC-DC converter to exchange electrical energy. The supercapacitor energy storage module is used to quickly absorb excess electrical energy when the diesel generator is running at full load, and then slowly charge the lithium battery pack through the bidirectional DC-DC converter.

[0049] The aforementioned microcontroller controller has a built-in diesel generator micro-start fast charging control program. It sets the two conditions for starting the diesel generator as the remaining capacity of the lithium battery < 40% and the real-time load power > the photovoltaic output power, and sets the remaining capacity of the lithium battery ≥ 80% or the supercapacitor bank full capacity as the diesel generator shutdown condition.

[0050] As the core control unit of the entire power supply system, the energy management module uses integrated photovoltaic voltage and current sensors, diesel generator voltage and current sensors, and battery voltage and current sensors to perform high-frequency, high-precision real-time data acquisition of the output voltage and current of the photovoltaic power generation system, the rectified voltage and current of the diesel generator system, and the charging and discharging voltage and current of the energy storage battery system. The data acquisition interval is no more than 50ms, ensuring comprehensive capture of the operating status and power output characteristics of each energy module. This acquired real-time data is synchronously transmitted to the microcontroller controller via signal transmission lines. The microcontroller controller has built-in preset energy scheduling algorithms and voltage stability control logic. First, it calculates and analyzes the photovoltaic output power, and combines it with the real-time power consumption data of the load equipment (synchronously fed back by auxiliary sensors on the DC bus side) to determine whether the light intensity meets the independent power supply requirements of the load. At the same time, by receiving data such as the remaining capacity of the lithium battery pack and the charge and discharge cycle status transmitted by the battery management unit, it evaluates the power supply support capability of the energy storage system. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the above multi-dimensional data, the microcontroller accurately outputs control commands. On the one hand, it regulates the on / off state of the photovoltaic switch, diesel generator switch and battery switch in the actuator. On the other hand, it switches the working mode (boost or buck) of the bidirectional DC-DC converter and links the adjustment function of the voltage stabilizer to ensure that the DC bus voltage is stable within the precise range of 72V±0.5V throughout the process, realizing the dynamic coordinated power supply of photovoltaic, energy storage and diesel energy. When sufficient sunlight is detected during the day (photovoltaic output power ≥ load power consumption + battery charging demand), the controller issues a command to close the photovoltaic switch, disconnect the diesel generator switch and battery switch, and control the MPPT solar controller to operate in maximum power point tracking mode. The 150V DC output from the flexible photovoltaic panel is stepped down to 72V and then input to the DC bus to directly power the load equipment. At the same time, the step-down mode of the bidirectional DC-DC converter is started to step down the excess power to 48V to charge the lithium battery pack. The voltage stabilizer finely adjusts the bus voltage in real time to offset the voltage deviation caused by load fluctuations. When insufficient daytime sunlight is detected (photovoltaic output power < load power consumption) but the remaining capacity of the lithium battery pack is ≥60%, the controller simultaneously closes the photovoltaic switch and the battery switch, and disconnects the diesel generator switch. The photovoltaic system output power is input to the bus through the MPPT controller. The insufficient part is switched to boost mode by the bidirectional DC-DC converter to boost the 48V DC power of the lithium battery pack to 72V to supplement the bus. The two work together to supply power to maintain stable operation of the load. When no sunlight is detected at night (photovoltaic output power is 0) and the remaining capacity of the lithium battery pack is ≥60%, the controller closes the battery switch, disconnects the photovoltaic switch and the diesel generator switch, and converts the power of the lithium battery pack into 72V DC input bus through the boost mode of the bidirectional DC-DC converter to independently power the load equipment. When insufficient sunlight is detected during the day or when the remaining capacity of the lithium battery pack is less than 60% at night, the controller prioritizes closing the diesel generator switch to start the diesel generator. The 220V AC power output is rectified and converted into 72V DC power by the AC / DC module and input to the bus to meet the load power supply requirements. At the same time, the controller selectively closes the photovoltaic switch (if there is sunlight) according to the real-time output status of the photovoltaic system and starts the step-down mode of the bidirectional DC-DC converter to step down the excess power on the bus side to charge the lithium battery pack until the battery management unit reports that the remaining capacity has recovered to the set value of 80%. Then the controller issues a command to disconnect the diesel generator switch and switch back to the photovoltaic-energy storage collaborative power supply or energy storage independent power supply mode, realizing efficient energy dispatch and continuous and stable power supply throughout the process. Among them, multiple 18V / 330W flexible photovoltaic panels are connected in series to form a photovoltaic module with an output voltage of 150V. This ensures that the output power of the photovoltaic power generation system meets the needs of load power supply and energy storage charging, while also adapting to the limited installation space of the buoy and improving the utilization efficiency of renewable energy. Among them, the dual-output interface design of the MPPT solar controller enables the photovoltaic system to efficiently store excess electrical energy in the lithium battery pack while directly supplying power to the load equipment, thus avoiding energy waste and enhancing the continuity of the system's power supply. Among them, the bidirectional DC-DC converter can flexibly switch between boost and buck modes, which not only solves the voltage matching problem between the 48V output of the lithium battery pack and the 72V input of the DC bus, but also realizes the bidirectional flow of electrical energy between the bus and the battery pack, giving full play to the peak shaving and valley filling role of the energy storage battery pack. Among them, the photovoltaic voltage and current sensors, diesel generator voltage and current sensors, and battery voltage and current sensors, which are set up in categories, can accurately monitor the operating parameters of each energy module, provide reliable data support for the microcontroller controller, and ensure the accuracy of energy switching and coordinated power supply. The independent control design of the photovoltaic switch, diesel generator switch and battery switch allows the energy management module to flexibly combine power supply modes according to different operating conditions, avoiding mutual interference between energy modules and improving the stability and reliability of system operation. Among them, DC / DC converters of various specifications such as 48V / 20A, 24V / 20A, 12V / 20A and 5V / 20A meet the power requirements of load equipment with different voltage levels such as observation sensors and communication equipment, and broaden the system's adaptability. Among them, the 48V / 80Ah lithium battery pack, paired with a battery management unit, not only ensures that the energy storage capacity meets the needs of the buoy for long-term offshore operation, but also monitors the battery status in real time and feeds it back to the microcontroller, effectively extending the battery life and avoiding the risk of overcharging and over-discharging. The 72V DC bus and voltage stabilizer enable standardized connection between each power supply module and the load equipment, ensuring that the bus voltage is not affected by energy switching and load fluctuations, providing a stable and reliable power supply environment for the load equipment, and ensuring the continuity of observation data acquisition and transmission.

[0053] Diesel generator micro-start fast charging control process The core execution logic of this invention is a diesel generator micro-start fast charging control strategy. This strategy is deeply integrated with the original photovoltaic priority overall energy dispatch strategy. The microcontroller controller achieves energy-saving operation of the diesel generator through multi-dimensional data acquisition and comprehensive analysis. The specific control process is as follows: 1. Real-time data acquisition: The microcontroller uses various voltage and current sensors to collect real-time data on the output power of the photovoltaic power generation system, the real-time power consumption of the load equipment, the remaining SOC of the lithium battery pack, and the voltage and remaining power of the supercapacitor energy storage module. The data acquisition interval is no more than 50ms to ensure the real-time performance and accuracy of the data. The battery management unit synchronously transmits the SOC data and charge / discharge status data of the lithium battery pack to the microcontroller, which serves as the core basis for determining the start and stop of the diesel generator. 2. Start-up condition determination: The microcontroller has built-in start-up determination logic. The diesel generator is determined to meet the start-up conditions only when the lithium battery pack SOC is less than 40% and the real-time load power is greater than the output power of the photovoltaic power generation system. Otherwise, the diesel generator is kept in the shutdown state. The dual-condition determination replaces the traditional single SOC (<60%) determination, which greatly reduces the number of invalid generator starts and reduces fuel consumption and mechanical wear from the source. 3. Shock-free generator start-up and full-load operation: When the starting conditions are met, the microcontroller first sends an electrical signal to control the start-stop buffer clutch to slowly engage, achieving shock-free power output from the generator main shaft. Then, it controls the diesel generator switch to close, starting the diesel generator. After the generator starts, the microcontroller adjusts the fuel supply through the micro-start fuel control valve, precisely controlling the generator output power to 80%-100% of the rated power at full load. At this time, the diesel generator's power generation efficiency is increased to over 90%, solving the problem of high fuel consumption in traditional low-load operation. 4. Power Distribution and Supercapacitor Fast Charging: When the diesel generator is running at full load, the 72V DC power rectified by the AC / DC module first meets the real-time power consumption requirements of the DC bus load. All excess power is sent to the supercapacitor energy storage module, where it is converted to the appropriate voltage by the matching DC-DC converter and then fast-charged to the 16V / 500F supercapacitor bank. The fast-charging characteristics of the supercapacitor bank enable rapid absorption of power and avoid waste of excess power. 5. Slow charging of lithium batteries from supercapacitors: During fast charging, the supercapacitor voltage and current sensors feed back voltage and power data to the microcontroller in real time. When the supercapacitor bank is not fully charged, the fast charging mode is maintained. When the supercapacitor bank reaches the full-capacity voltage of 16V, the microcontroller controls the adapter DC-DC converter to switch to discharge mode, and the energy stored in the supercapacitor bank is stepped down to 48V through the bidirectional DC-DC converter to slowly charge the lithium battery bank. The slow charging current is controlled within 5A to avoid the charging and discharging impact of sudden current changes on the lithium battery bank and to ensure battery life. 6. No-load shutdown of the generator: The microcontroller monitors the SOC data of the lithium battery pack and the charge data of the supercapacitor pack in real time. When the SOC of the lithium battery pack is ≥80% or the supercapacitor pack is fully charged and the SOC of the lithium battery pack no longer rises, it is determined that the shutdown conditions of the diesel generator are met. At this time, the microcontroller first cuts off the fuel supply to the diesel generator through the micro-start fuel control valve, and then sends an electrical signal to control the start-stop buffer clutch to quickly disengage, so as to realize the no-load shutdown of the generator and avoid mechanical shock during shutdown. At the same time, it controls the diesel generator switch to disconnect, completing one recharge operation of the diesel generator. 7. System restores photovoltaic-energy storage coordinated dispatch: After the diesel generator stops, the system restores the original photovoltaic priority energy dispatch strategy, with the photovoltaic power generation system supplying power alone or in coordination with the lithium battery pack. The supercapacitor energy storage module responds to the power demand of the DC bus in real time to compensate for the power, offsetting the bus voltage fluctuations caused by load changes and improving the stability of the system power supply.

Micro-start fuel control valve: It is an electronic proportional fuel control valve with an adjustment accuracy of ±1%. It can accurately adjust the fuel supply according to the electrical signal of the single-chip microcomputer controller, realize the continuous control of the diesel generator output power, and ensure that the generator always operates in the high-efficiency full-load range. 3. Start-stop buffer clutch: It is an electromagnetic buffer clutch with an engagement time adjustable to 0.5-1s and a disengagement time of <0.1s. During engagement, it achieves a smooth increase in the main shaft speed and avoids starting shock. After disengagement, the generator main shaft runs without load and there is no mechanical wear when the machine stops, which effectively extends the service life of the generator main shaft, bearings and other components. 4. Diesel generator: A miniaturized permanent magnet synchronous diesel generator is selected, with a rated power that matches the total power consumption of the buoy load. It is small in size and light in weight, making it suitable for the limited installation space of the buoy. The generator is treated with anti-corrosion and waterproof measures.
