Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy harvesting technology, and in particular to an adaptive maximum power point tracking system for energy harvesting systems. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the rapid development of radio communication and integrated circuit technologies has led to the widespread application of various sensors on power transmission lines to monitor the safe and stable operation of power systems. However, the chemical batteries that power these sensors have problems such as limited lifespan, difficulty in replacement, and environmental pollution. Directly drawing power from power transmission lines through methods such as capacitive voltage division and current inductance is also unreliable, as direct contact with the power grid can affect the operational safety of transmission lines and is not suitable for high-voltage direct current transmission lines.

[0003] Against this backdrop, capturing distributed energy from the environment and providing autonomous power for sensors has become a promising solution, including thermal, solar, wind, magnetic field, and vibration energy. Compared to solar, wind, and thermal energy, which are commonly found in the environment, vibration energy is less affected by natural factors such as weather changes and is widely present in the environment. Therefore, electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting has broad application prospects in powering sensors in power transmission lines.

[0004] Electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting systems typically consist of an electromagnetic vibration energy harvester and a power conversion circuit. The vibration energy harvester converts the collected vibration energy into alternating current (AC) power, which is then converted by the power conversion circuit to provide DC power to the sensor. To achieve efficient power transmission and maximize the utilization of even small vibration energy from the environment, the power conversion circuit must be regulated using a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. To achieve MPPT, impedance matching must be implemented between the electromagnetic vibration energy harvester and the power conversion circuit to ensure it always operates at its maximum output power point. However, in power transmission line applications, the vibration environment is constantly changing, leading to MPPT drift and posing challenges to maximum power transmission.

[0005] Based on the above conditions, real-time tracking of the changing maximum power point becomes the key to solving the problem. To this end, an adaptive maximum power point tracking system for energy harvesting systems is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the adaptive maximum power point tracking system of the energy harvesting system described in this invention: the step of setting the disturbance factor based on environmental change data includes: The microcontroller determines the maximum vibration energy value of the electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting device under the current environment based on the environmental vibration parameters fed back by the vibration sensor.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 In one alternative embodiment, the step of approximating the operating point to the maximum power point includes: Step S1: Calculate the internal impedance of the electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting device 1; Specifically, the formula (1) for calculating the internal impedance is: (1) in: (2) in, Indicates internal impedance. and As shown in formula (2), The equivalent resistance of the electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting device 1 is... The equivalent inductance of the electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting device 1 is... It is the imaginary unit. The angular frequency of the transmission line vibration. The equivalent capacitance of the electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting device 1 is... The coil resistance of the electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting device 1 The coil inductance is for the electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting device 1.

[0035] Step S2: Calculate the equivalent input resistance of the subsequent circuit based on the DC voltage; whereby the equivalent input resistance of the subsequent circuit refers to all components connected to the DC output terminal of the H-type rectifier bridge.

[0036] Specifically, the formula (3) for calculating the equivalent input resistance is: (3) in, Indicates the equivalent input resistance. DC voltage This represents the equivalent input resistance under DC voltage. and It can be derived from formula (1), where in formula (1) and All are plural numbers. and These are defined as the real and imaginary parts of the complex impedance, respectively, where: This is the equivalent resistance, which is the real part of the complex impedance; The equivalent reactance belongs to the imaginary part of the complex impedance, in formula (3) The magnitude of the complex impedance is represented by , where .

[0037] Furthermore, since the vibration amplitude varies considerably in the working environment of transmission lines, the maximum vibration acceleration is denoted as... , Let be the maximum vibrational energy collected, as shown in formula (4). The mass of the permanent magnet in the electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting device. The electromechanical coupling coefficient of electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting device 1 is given. This is the angular frequency of the transmission line vibration.

[0038] The formula (4) for calculating the maximum vibration energy is as follows: (4) Step S3: Sensing environmental change data and setting disturbance factors based on the environmental change data; The disturbance factors include the disturbance step size and the disturbance period; The steps for setting disturbance factors based on environmental change data include: Step S31: The microcontroller 5 determines the maximum vibration energy value of the electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting device 1 under the current environment based on the environmental vibration parameters fed back by the vibration sensor; Among them, environmental vibration parameters include the maximum vibration acceleration and the angular frequency of transmission line vibration.

[0039] Step S32: Calculate the initial step size based on the maximum vibration energy value, equivalent input resistance, and internal impedance; It should be noted that since the AC voltage output by the electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting device 1 changes during operation, the DC voltage also changes. As the DC voltage changes, the output power of the power management circuit 3 also changes, and it has a maximum value. At the maximum power point, that is, when the DC voltage is 1, the maximum output power is calculated using formula (5): (5) in, This indicates the maximum output power. Indicates the maximum vibration acceleration. This represents the angular frequency of the transmission line vibration. This represents the DC voltage at the maximum power point. This represents the maximum vibration energy value. Represented as equivalent resistance, it belongs to the real part of the complex impedance.

[0040] The initial step size is calculated using formula (6): (6) in, Indicates the initial step size. This represents the DC voltage at the maximum power point. Indicates the output voltage. This represents the maximum vibration energy value. Indicates the maximum vibration acceleration. This represents the angular frequency of the transmission line vibration. Indicates the equivalent input resistance. This represents the change in equivalent input resistance. Represented as equivalent resistance, it belongs to the real part of the complex impedance. It is represented as equivalent reactance.

[0041] Step S33: Set the actual perturbation step size to be greater than the initial step size, and maintain a fixed proportional relationship with the initial step size; In this embodiment, the perturbation step size should also be chosen appropriately; it should not be too large or too small. If the perturbation step size is too large, although the system response will be fast enough, the accuracy in finding the maximum power point will be greatly reduced, the output voltage will oscillate violently, and the system will be in a state of deviating from the maximum power point for a long time, which will also reduce the power extraction efficiency. If the perturbation step size is too small, that is, the step size each time is too small, the process of finding the maximum power point will be very slow, which will also cause energy waste and prevent the system from tracking the maximum power point quickly and in a timely manner, leading to algorithm failure. The preferred perturbation step size is 1.1 times the initial step size of the system, that is... ,in, Indicates the perturbation step size. This indicates the initial step size.

[0042] Step S34: The microcontroller 5 analyzes the settling time required for the system to reach stability after the duty cycle disturbance based on the power management circuit 3; Step S35: Set the disturbance period to be greater than the settling time and maintain a fixed proportional relationship with the settling time; Let the settling time be denoted as The disturbance period is set to The disturbance period should not be too large or too small. While adhering to the basic principle of ensuring the microcontroller 5 does not malfunction, if the sampling time is too large, although it ensures the system reaches steady state each time, the dynamic response speed will be significantly slowed down. If the input environment changes, the system will need a long time to find the new maximum power point through step-by-step disturbances, failing to track changes in the optimal value in a timely manner, thus wasting energy. If the sampling time is too small, the next sampling will occur before the system reaches steady state, resulting in inaccurate power values. The microcontroller 5 may make incorrect disturbance direction judgments based on erroneous feedback. The preferred sampling time is 1.25 times the system settling time. =1.25 .

[0043] Step S36: In response to the vibration sensor detecting a change in the environmental vibration parameters, the microcontroller 5 recalculates the initial step size and settling time, and updates the disturbance step size and disturbance period accordingly.

[0044] Step S4: Adjust the duty cycle of the main switch of the power management circuit 3 according to the disturbance factors so that the internal impedance and the equivalent input resistance are matched; by matching the two, the power can be increased.

[0045] Step S5: Compare the changes in voltage signals before and after the disturbance, and determine the direction of the next disturbance based on the changes in voltage signals, so that the operating point approaches the maximum power point; The steps for determining the direction of the next disturbance based on changes in the voltage signal include: Step S51: Microcontroller 5 samples the voltage signal in each disturbance cycle and calculates the current output power based on the voltage signal; Step S52: Compare the current output power with the power recorded in the previous disturbance cycle; If the current output power is greater than the power recorded in the previous disturbance cycle, then the direction of the next disturbance is the same as the direction of the current disturbance. If the current output power is less than the power recorded in the previous disturbance cycle, the direction of the next disturbance will be opposite to the direction of the current disturbance. If the current output power is equal to the power recorded in the previous disturbance cycle, the disturbance direction is maintained or randomly changed. Step S53: Update the duty cycle based on the determined perturbation direction and perturbation step size.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways as long as they do not depart from the scope of the present invention.
