Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an energy storage control system, and more specifically, to a single-machine, large-capacity, multi-container high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage control system. Technical Background

[0002] With the advancement of the country's "dual carbon" goals, the energy storage industry has ushered in a major development. Among all current energy storage technologies, the cost of electrochemical energy storage systems represented by lithium-ion batteries continues to decline and the technology is more mature. High-voltage direct-mounted energy storage systems have gradually been accepted by the market and well promoted due to their advantages such as large single-unit capacity, high system efficiency, high grid-connected power quality, and direct connection to 6kV, 10kV, and 35kV power grids without transformers.

[0003] As the capacity of a single high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system gradually increases, a single system requires multiple power units and corresponding battery clusters. From the perspective of structural volume, a single unit requires multiple containers. From the perspective of control and communication, the control and communication between the management systems of multiple battery clusters, power unit control systems, fire protection systems, cooling systems, and other auxiliary control systems, as well as how to ensure the safety and efficiency of communication links across warehouses have become difficult problems.

[0004] The existing high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage control system does not meet the control requirements of a single machine with multiple containers. Secondly, the energy storage inverter control system and the battery management system are two independent systems that are difficult to communicate with each other. For a single-machine large-capacity energy storage system, information exchange between the energy storage inverter and the battery management system is crucial. At the same time, the control of the high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system requires insulation isolation. If the energy storage inverter control and the battery management system communicate independently, two sets of insulation facilities are required, which increases the hardware cost. Summary of the invention

[0009] The high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system unit controller completes the wave control and protection of the power unit through the driving device, and the high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system unit controller serves as a battery management system to manage the battery according to the power unit voltage, current and battery cluster PACK information.

[0010] The improvement of the utility model lies in the use of a hierarchical control topology and the selection of related communication links in the energy storage control system. The specific control process and implementation methods such as the control of the sub-compartment controller by the master controller, the control of the sub-compartment controller by the unit controller, and the management of the power unit and battery by the unit controller are prior art.

[0011] Preferably, both the high-speed optical fiber interface and the ordinary optical fiber interface adopt a custom communication protocol, which classifies the communication content and transmits it in time and segment according to the communication rate requirements, taking into account the communication rate and communication capacity. The specific format is "start frame + fixed high-speed information frame + coded information frame + check frame + stop frame". The communication protocol classifies the communication content and transmits it in time and segment according to the communication rate requirements. The fixed high-speed information frame is transmitted once in each communication, and the slow information is encoded and put into the coded information frame. The communication format takes into account the communication rate and communication capacity.

[0012] Preferably, the main controller of the high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system is preset with multiple external RS485, LAN, and CAN communication interfaces for communicating with and controlling the host computer and auxiliary equipment; one of the multiple LAN communication interfaces is connected to the touch screen for human-computer interaction; two of the multiple LAN communication interfaces communicate with the host computer energy management system; the main controller of the high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system is preset with multiple IO interfaces for controlling peripherals.

[0013] Preferably, the high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system compartment controller is preset with multiple external RS485 and CAN communication interfaces for communicating and controlling the cooling system and fire protection system of the energy storage container; the high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system compartment controller is preset with multiple IO interfaces for controlling peripherals.

[0014] Preferably, the high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system unit controller presets two network ports for data exchange with the battery cluster PACK corresponding to the power unit through a ring topology; the high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system unit controller presets multiple IO interfaces for peripheral control.

[0015] The benefits of the utility model are:

[0016] 1. The hierarchical control topology of master controller, compartment controller and unit controller can meet the application scenarios where a single-machine large-capacity high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system requires multiple containers.

[0017] 2. The unit controller includes a battery management function and exchanges information with the master controller through the communication link described in the utility model. It is compatible with the functions of the battery management system, making the communication link of the entire energy storage system simpler and more efficient, while reducing the hardware investment cost.

[0018] 3. All-fiber communication and customized communication protocols are used between the main controller, sub-compartment controller, and unit controller to improve the safety and efficiency of system communication and control.

[0019] 4. In view of the high insulation strength requirements of the direct-mounted energy storage system, all-fiber communication is adopted between the main controller, sub-compartment controller, and unit controller to meet the insulation strength requirements of 6KV, 10KV and 35KV.
