Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of energy storage simulation equipment, in particular to a high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system simulation device. Background Art

[0002] With the growing demand for energy storage technology and the requirements for grid stability and flexibility, in order to balance the difference between load and supply in the power network and improve the efficiency and reliability of the power system, high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage systems have gradually become the focus of research for various energy storage manufacturers. At present, high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage systems have mature applications in new energy distribution storage, grid side, and large-scale industry and commerce at 6kv and 10kv. There are many demonstration projects for high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage at the 35kV voltage level and it has become the focus of research for many manufacturers. High-voltage direct-mounted energy storage is a relatively special structure of high-voltage and large-capacity energy storage. It is connected to the AC power grid through a transformerless mode and uses many small-power and small-capacity energy storage units to form a high-power and large-capacity energy storage system.

[0003] The energy storage controller is the operation and control center of the entire high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system, and is very important for the normal and reliable operation of the system. High-voltage direct-mounted energy storage systems usually have high voltage levels, large power capacity, many cascaded sub-modules, a large number of switches, and a large battery system. Testing based on a physical platform is costly, risky, and complex. Testing and debugging on a physical prototype is difficult, and it is often difficult to show some abnormal operating conditions, such as voltage fluctuations and frequency offsets in the power grid. Therefore, it is very necessary for high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage controllers to be tested through a real-time simulation device that can simulate various operating conditions of the actual system.

[0004] Since testing using real-time simulation devices has the advantages of being easy to test various working conditions, safe, and easy to achieve test automation, this testing method has been used in many applications.

[0005] However, for high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage systems, real-time simulation testing has the following main challenges:

[0006] 1. High-voltage direct-mounted energy storage systems usually contain hundreds of power electronic devices, which cannot be accurately simulated by conventional real-time simulation devices. In order to ensure the accuracy of real-time simulation, this requires the real-time simulation device to have an extremely small simulation step size, usually at the level of a few microseconds.

[0007] Second, there is a lot of data interaction between the high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system and the controller, and the traditional physical IO wiring method cannot be used to achieve interaction;

[0008] Third, the communication protocols of each manufacturer's controller are different, resulting in a long secondary development cycle and low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art and to provide a high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system simulation device, which supports users to simulate large-scale high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage systems in parallel with high precision and low latency.

[0010] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0011] A high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system simulation device comprises a simulation device host computer and a real-time simulation device which are communicatively connected to each other. The high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system simulation device also comprises a protocol conversion device and a user controller. The real-time simulation device comprises a CPU processor equipped with an energy storage battery model and an FPGA chip equipped with a cascade topology module. The CPU processor is communicatively connected to the FPGA chip, and the real-time simulation device is communicatively connected to the user controller via the protocol conversion device and a physical IO interface.

[0012] Furthermore, the CPU processor and the FPGA chip communicate with each other at high speed via PCIE.

[0013] Furthermore, the CPU processor is an 8-core 3.8 GHz CPU processor.

[0014] Furthermore, the FPGA chip is an UltraScaleKU115 model.

[0015] Furthermore, the protocol conversion device connects the real-time simulation device and the user controller via optical fiber communication.

[0016] Furthermore, the real-time simulation device is connected to the simulation device host computer via Ethernet.

[0017] Furthermore, the protocol conversion device is connected to a protocol conversion device host computer via Ethernet.

[0018] Furthermore, the protocol conversion device is encapsulated in a shell, the shell is a square structure, an optical fiber interface is provided in the shell, and the optical fiber is connected to the optical fiber interface through an optical module.

[0019] Furthermore, the top and bottom of the shell are provided with heat dissipation holes distributed in an array, a turbo fan is also installed in the shell, and the optical fiber interface is located in the heat dissipation area of ​​the turbo fan.

[0020] Furthermore, the user controller is also connected to the real-time simulation device via CAN bus communication.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0022] (1) The utility model takes into account the problem that high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage systems usually contain hundreds of power electronic devices and conventional real-time simulation devices cannot accurately simulate them. It proposes to run the massive energy storage battery model of the high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system and the cascade modules in the topology in the CPU and FPGA of the simulator respectively. The multi-core high-performance CPU and powerful FPGA capabilities of the simulator support users to simulate large-scale high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage systems in parallel with high precision and low latency.

[0023] The optical fiber protocol conversion device is set up to communicate between the real-time simulation device and the user controller, which supports the user to flexibly customize the protocol through the protocol converter host computer and easily realize the conversion of different optical fiber protocols.

[0024] (2) The utility model uses optical fiber communication instead of physical I / O ports, which can realize lossless and low-interference transmission of massive data; the optical fiber protocol conversion device is equipped with 16-way SFP+ 10 Gigabit interfaces, which can realize high-speed, low-interference, and low-loss transmission of large amounts of data.

[0025] (3) The utility model provides array-distributed heat dissipation holes on the top and bottom of the shell of the real-time simulation device, and adds a heat dissipation fan sub-board at the bottom, which increases the air circulation of the optical port connector, effectively reduces the temperature rise, and ensures the stable and reliable operation of the optical fiber module.
