Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of energy storage converter control, and in particular to a multi-machine parallel energy storage device based on an independent communication structure between battery packs. Background Art
[0002] The energy storage battery system has the functions of smooth transition, peak shaving and valley filling, frequency and voltage regulation, etc. It can smooth the fluctuation of solar and wind power generation output, improve the safety and stability of power grid operation, and has been widely used on the grid side, user side and microgrid. As the application of battery energy storage systems becomes more and more extensive, the demand for increasing the capacity of energy storage systems is increasing, requiring more energy storage inverter units to be able to operate in parallel. As the number of energy storage inverter units in parallel increases, the risk of failure also increases greatly.
[0003] In the prior art, the battery pack and the inverter in a multi-machine parallel energy storage inverter unit are generally connected to a control unit by a unified optical fiber communication structure, such as a storage battery system communication architecture disclosed in Chinese patent publication number CN215498362U and a large-scale energy storage system disclosed in Chinese patent publication number CN112542893A.
[0004] A Chinese patent with publication number CN207967938U discloses a network architecture of an energy storage system based on multiple communication methods. Although a battery matrix is designed, it is limited to the control structure inside a single energy storage inverter unit and cannot be used in a multi-machine parallel energy storage structure. It has no reference value for the control structure of a multi-machine parallel energy storage device.
[0005] A Chinese patent with publication number CN115173446A discloses an electrochemical energy storage system and a centralized control device. Although the battery pack and the converter are separately connected to the control device, no separate communication circuit is set between the multiple battery packs of the multiple energy storage converter units, and the battery pack and the converter are both connected by the optical fiber communication port of the FPGA, and the risk of failure is not shared.
[0006] In summary, the battery packs in the multi-machine parallel energy storage inverter units in the prior art do not form their own independent communication connection structure, and are all connected to the control device through the inverter or without the inverter through the optical fiber communication port. When more and more energy storage inverter units are connected in parallel, the port burden of the control device is increased, and the risk of battery pack connection failure is increased.
