Although exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0039] Offshore wind power generation is a method of generating electricity by converting natural offshore wind resources into electricity. Typically, offshore wind power generation uses submarine cables to connect multiple offshore wind turbines, collecting and transmitting offshore wind power to the onshore power grid. The farther the offshore wind turbines are from the coast, the better the wind resources they can harvest. However, this also increases submarine cable costs and power losses, leading to lower resource utilization for deep-sea wind power generation.

[0040] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a wind power generation energy utilization system, comprising: a wind power generation device and a plurality of buoys; the plurality of buoys are connected in sequence, with the wind power generation device located at the center of an area formed by the plurality of buoys; the wind power generation device is connected to each of the plurality of buoys; the wind power generation device is configured to provide electrical energy to devices disposed in the plurality of buoys; the plurality of buoys includes at least one first buoy and at least one second buoy; a server is disposed in the first buoy, and an energy storage device is disposed in the second buoy. Thus, by disposing a first buoy and a second buoy connected to the wind power generation device around the wind power generation device, disposing a server in the first buoy, and disposing an energy storage device in the second buoy, electrical energy obtained by the wind power generation device is provided to the server to operate the server, while electrical energy exceeding the server's power demand is stored in the storage device, thereby consuming the wind power generation device's electrical energy locally and improving energy utilization efficiency. Furthermore, when the wind power generation device's electrical energy cannot meet the server's power demand, the server is supplied with power from the energy storage device to ensure stable operation of the server.

[0041] On the one hand, the embodiments of the present application provide an energy utilization system for wind power generation, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a wind power energy utilization system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1As shown, the system includes: a wind power generation device 1 and a plurality of buoys 2. Among them, the plurality of buoys 2 are connected in sequence, and the buoys 2 can be connected through pipes and supports, and are interconnected in terms of power and network communication; the wind power generation device 1 is located in the center of the area formed by the connection of the plurality of buoys 2, and the wind power generation device 1 is respectively connected to the plurality of buoys 2. The arrangement of the buoys 2 makes the wind power generation device 1 a semi-submersible wind turbine, which floats on the sea surface as a whole. At the same time, the wind power generation device 1 is located in the center of the area formed by the connection of the plurality of buoys 2, which can make the wind power generation energy utilization system in a balanced state as a whole, so that the wind power generation energy utilization system can be stable on the sea surface. Figure 1 For example, the energy utilization system for wind power generation includes three pontoons 2, which form an equilateral triangle or an isosceles triangle. The wind power generation device 1 is located at the center of the triangle formed by the three pontoons 2 to keep the system in a balanced state as a whole. In this embodiment, only three pontoons 2 are used as an example. The specific number of pontoons 2 can be adjusted according to specific usage requirements and is not specifically limited here.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the wind power generation device 1 generates electricity through wind power to provide power to the devices installed in the multiple buoys 2. The multiple buoys 2 include at least one first buoy 21 and at least one second buoy 22.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, a server 3 is installed in the first buoy 21.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the energy storage device 4 includes a first energy storage device and a second energy storage device, and the first energy storage device and the second energy storage device are respectively arranged in different second buoys 22.

The first energy storage device and the second energy storage device are used to store the electric energy obtained by the wind power generation device 1 that exceeds the power demand of the server 3. The first energy storage device and the second energy storage device have different priorities for storing electric energy, which can be specifically set according to the energy storage method of the first energy storage device and the second energy storage device and actual needs. Figure 1 For example, Figure 1 There are two second buoys 22, and the first energy storage device and the second energy storage device are respectively set in the two buoys 2. The energy storage priority of the first energy storage device is higher than the energy storage priority of the second energy storage device. This embodiment only takes two second buoys 22 and one first energy storage device and one second energy storage device as examples. The types and quantities of the energy storage devices 4 with different energy storage modes set in the second buoys 22 and the second buoys 22 can be adjusted according to specific usage requirements, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, a second power device is provided in the second buoy 22, and the second power device is connected to the first energy storage device or the second energy storage device in the second buoy 22. The second power device is used to obtain electrical energy from the wind power generation device 1 and distribute the electrical energy to the first energy storage device or the second energy storage device connected to the second power device.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the first energy storage device is used to store the electric energy provided by the wind power generation device 1 in a battery in the first energy storage device. The first energy storage device includes a battery, an energy storage converter, and a battery management system, and the battery, the energy storage converter, and the battery management system are connected in pairs. The battery is used to store the electric energy provided by the wind power generation device 1 and to provide electric energy to the server 3; the energy storage converter is used to control the charging and discharging of the battery to control the battery to store the electric energy provided by the wind power generation device 1 or to provide electric energy to the server 3; the battery management system is used to monitor and manage the status of the battery to control the battery to operate in a safe state, for example, to control the battery to operate at a safe voltage, safe current, and safe temperature.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the second energy storage device is used to produce hydrogen based on the electricity provided by the wind power generation device 1, and the produced hydrogen is stored in the hydrogen storage device of the second energy storage device. The second energy storage device includes a water intake device, a hydrogen production device, a hydrogen storage device, and a hydrogen power generation device, which are connected in sequence. The water intake device is used to obtain and filter seawater to provide water to the hydrogen production device; the hydrogen production device is used to electrolyze the water provided by the water intake device based on the electricity provided by the wind power generation device 1 to produce hydrogen; the hydrogen storage device is used to store the hydrogen produced by the hydrogen production device; and the hydrogen power generation device is used to generate electricity based on the hydrogen stored in the hydrogen storage device and provide the obtained electricity to the server 3.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the working process of a wind power energy utilization system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the priority of distributing the electric energy obtained by the wind power generation device is that the server is greater than the first energy storage device and greater than the second energy storage device. When the wind power generation energy utilization system is working, its working process is as follows:

[0050] Step 210: Obtain electrical energy based on the wind power generation device and distribute the electrical energy to the servers in the first buoy.

[0051] Step 220: If the electric energy acquired by the wind power generation device is greater than the power demand of the server, the electric energy exceeding the power demand of the server is distributed to the energy storage device in the second buoy so that the energy storage device stores the electric energy.

[0052] As described above in steps 210-220, when offshore wind resources are abundant, the wind turbines operate to generate electricity and distribute it to the servers in the first buoy, ensuring normal server operation. If the electricity generated by the wind turbines exceeds the power requirements of the servers, the excess energy is distributed to the energy storage device in the second buoy, where it is stored.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, if the energy storage priority of the first energy storage device is greater than the energy storage priority of the second energy storage device, then when allocating the electric energy exceeding the power demand of the server to the energy storage device in the second buoy so that the energy storage device stores electric energy, the first energy storage device is preferentially used to store electric energy, and when the electric energy stored in the first energy storage device reaches the storage threshold of the first energy storage device, the second energy storage device is used to store electric energy. Specifically, if the electric energy stored in the first energy storage device does not reach the storage threshold, the electric energy exceeding the power demand of the server is allocated to the first energy storage device so that the first energy storage device stores electric energy; if the electric energy stored in the first energy storage device reaches the storage threshold, the electric energy exceeding the power demand of the server is allocated to the second energy storage device so that the second energy storage device stores electric energy.

[0054] In an optional implementation, if the electric energy obtained by the wind power generation device is less than the power demand of the server, the electric energy stored in the energy storage device is obtained and distributed to the server.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, because the energy storage priority of the first energy storage device is greater than the energy storage priority of the second energy storage device, the first energy storage device is preferentially used to provide power to the server when the energy storage device is used to provide power to the server. When the power stored in the first energy storage device is exhausted, the second energy storage device is used to provide power to the server. Specifically, obtaining the power stored in the energy storage device and distributing the power to the server includes: if the power stored in the first energy storage device is not exhausted, distributing the power stored in the first energy storage device to the server; if the power stored in the first energy storage device is exhausted, distributing the power stored in the second energy storage device to the server.

The wireless network device is used to transmit and receive network signals to the wireless network and / or satellite network, thereby performing network transmission with the wireless network signal or satellite network signal.
