Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum electrolytic cell power supply, in particular to an energy storage type aluminum electrolytic cell power supply system capable of absorbing green electricity off-grid. Background Art
[0002] As a high energy-consuming enterprise, aluminum smelters have always been the largest electricity consumers in various regions. More and more aluminum smelters are using the direct current generated by photovoltaic power generation systems to directly power the electrolytic cells. The existing electrolytic cell power supply systems are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the current supply of the electrolyzer at this time consists of two parts: one is powered by the power supply rectifier system, and the power comes from the power grid; the other is powered by the photovoltaic power generation DC system, and the power comes from the photovoltaic power generation DC system.
[0003] Currently, when designing the power supply system for electrolytic cells in aluminum smelters and manufacturing rectifiers, the DC current fluctuation range is generally considered to be within ±5% of the electrolytic series current requirements. When the amplitude of the DC-side supply current of the photovoltaic power generation DC system does not exceed 5% of the electrolytic series current, the existing power supply rectifier system can adjust the total current supplied to the electrolytic cell through the current stabilization control system to ensure that the total current supplied to the electrolytic cell meets the electrolytic cell requirements and ensures the stability of the electrolytic cell DC power supply. When the amplitude of the DC-side supply current of the photovoltaic power generation DC access system exceeds 5% of the electrolytic series current, the current exceeds the adjustment range of the current stabilization control system, and the electrolytic cell power supply system does not have other current stabilization measures. Therefore, although the total current supplied to the electrolytic cell can meet the electrolytic cell requirements, it cannot meet the stability requirements of the electrolytic cell DC power supply. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides an energy storage type aluminum electrolytic cell power supply system for off-grid access and consumption of green electricity. The power supply system is provided with a user-side energy storage system and first to fourth isolating switch groups. The power supply method is combined with the opening and closing control of the isolating switch group and the state control of the user-side energy storage system under corresponding circumstances. This solves the problem that the original electrolytic cell power supply system is difficult for the electrolytic cell to operate stably when the amplitude of the direct current output by photovoltaic power generation exceeds 5% of the electrolytic series current. The electrolytic cell power supply system of the aluminum electrolytic plant is highly adaptable when the photovoltaic power generation outputs a higher capacity direct current, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrolytic cell operation.
[0005] A green electricity off-grid access and consumption energy storage type aluminum electrolytic cell power supply system, comprising a photovoltaic power generation DC system, a power supply rectifier system and an electrolytic cell connected via a busbar, and also comprising a user-side energy storage system connected to the busbar, wherein the access end of the user-side energy storage system is connected to the photovoltaic power generation DC system, and the output end is connected to the power supply rectifier system;
[0006] The busbar is provided with a first isolating switch group and a fourth isolating switch group. The first isolating switch group is provided between the photovoltaic power generation DC system and the user-side energy storage system. The fourth isolating switch group is provided between the user-side energy storage system and the power supply rectifier system. The access end of the user-side energy storage system is provided with a second isolating switch group, and the output end is provided with a third isolating switch group.
[0007] By setting up a user-side energy storage system and the first to fourth isolation switch groups, the user-side energy storage system can be used to start powering the electrolytic cell when the rate of change of the output current of the photovoltaic power generation DC system exceeds the acceptable range of the electrolytic cell. This solves the problem of the original electrolytic cell power supply system being difficult to operate stably when the amplitude of the photovoltaic power generation output DC power exceeds 5% of the electrolytic series current. The electrolytic cell power supply system of the electrolytic aluminum plant is highly adaptable even when the photovoltaic power generation outputs a higher capacity DC power, ensuring the stability of the electrolytic cell operation.
[0008] Furthermore, the user-side energy storage system includes a charging module, a discharging module, an isolation module, a control and protection module, and an energy storage module. The charging module is used to input a portion of the DC power generated by the photovoltaic power generation DC system into the energy storage module to charge; the discharging module is used to output the electric energy of the energy storage module; the control and protection module is used to control the output voltage of the user-side energy storage system to be consistent with the voltage required by the electrolytic cell; there are two isolation modules, each of which is used to isolate the reverse flow of current. The two isolation modules are respectively a first isolation module and a second isolation module. The first isolation module is provided at the access end of the user-side energy storage system, and the second isolation module is provided at the output end of the user-side energy storage system.
[0009] An isolation module is provided to prevent the occurrence of a fault in which the current flows in the reverse direction.
[0010] Furthermore, the busbar includes a connecting busbar and a DC busbar, the photovoltaic power generation DC system is connected to the user-side energy storage system through the connecting busbar, the power supply rectifier system is connected to the electrolytic cell through the DC busbar, and the connecting busbar is connected to the DC busbar through a fourth isolating switch group.
[0011] A method for powering an energy storage aluminum electrolytic cell with off-grid access and consumption of green electricity. The method employs an energy storage aluminum electrolytic cell power supply system with off-grid access and consumption of green electricity. The method controls the on / off switching of first to fourth isolating switch groups based on the output current of a photovoltaic power generation DC system, thereby switching the operating state of a user-side energy storage system.
[0012] When the rate of change of the output current of the photovoltaic power generation DC system exceeds the acceptable range of the electrolyzer, the first isolating switch group, the third isolating switch group and the fourth isolating switch group are closed, the second isolating switch group is opened, and the user-side energy storage system is in a power supply state.
[0013] By designing a power supply method, the problem of the original electrolytic cell power supply system being difficult to operate stably when the amplitude of the DC power output from photovoltaic power generation exceeds 5% of the electrolytic series current was solved. Combined with the opening and closing control of the isolation switch group in the corresponding situation and the status control of the user-side energy storage system, the electrolytic cell power supply system of the electrolytic aluminum plant is made highly adaptable when the photovoltaic power generation outputs a higher capacity DC power, ensuring the stability of the electrolytic cell operation.
[0014] Furthermore, when the current value output by the photovoltaic power generation DC system is higher than the current value required by the electrolyzer, the first isolating switch group, the second isolating switch group and the fourth isolating switch group are closed, and the third isolating switch group is opened, so that the photovoltaic power generation DC system can supply power to the electrolyzer normally while transmitting excess electric energy to the user-side energy storage system, and the user-side energy storage system is in an energy storage state.
[0015] Furthermore, when the current value output by the photovoltaic power generation DC system is within the current value range required by the electrolyzer, the first isolating switch group and the fourth isolating switch group are closed, and the second isolating switch group and the third isolating switch group are disconnected, so that the photovoltaic power generation DC system can normally supply power to the electrolyzer, and the user-side energy storage system is in standby mode.
[0016] Furthermore, when the current value output by the photovoltaic power generation DC system is less than the current value required by the electrolyzer, and the rate of change of the output current of the photovoltaic power generation DC system is within the acceptable range of the electrolyzer, the first isolating switch group and the fourth isolating switch group are closed, and the second isolating switch group and the third isolating switch group are disconnected. The photovoltaic power generation DC system supplies power to the electrolyzer normally, and the user-side energy storage system is in standby mode.
[0017] Furthermore, when the current output by the photovoltaic DC power generation system is less than the current required by the electrolyzer, and the rate of change of the photovoltaic DC power generation system's output current exceeds the electrolyzer's acceptable range, the first, third, and fourth isolating switch groups are closed, and the second isolating switch group is opened. The user-side energy storage system is powered, and the photovoltaic DC power generation system and the user-side energy storage system simultaneously power the electrolyzer. This ensures that the rate of change of the current supplied to the electrolyzer is within the electrolyzer's acceptable range, thereby ensuring stable operation of the electrolyzer.
[0018] Furthermore, when the photovoltaic DC power generation system stops operating and the output current is 0A, the third and fourth isolating switch groups are closed, and the first and second isolating switch groups are opened. The photovoltaic DC power generation system stops supplying power to the electrolyzer, and the user-side energy storage system remains in the power supply state, supplying power to the electrolyzer. This ensures that the rate of change of the current supplied to the electrolyzer is within the electrolyzer's acceptable range, thereby ensuring stable operation of the electrolyzer.
[0019] Furthermore, when the power supply rectifier system stops operating, the first isolating switch group, the third isolating switch group, and the fourth isolating switch group are closed, and the second isolating switch group is disconnected. The user-side energy storage system is in a power supply state, and the photovoltaic power generation DC system and the user-side energy storage system simultaneously power the electrolyzer. When the user-side energy storage system finishes discharging, the first isolating switch group, the third isolating switch group, and the fourth isolating switch group are disconnected. The user-side energy storage system is in a standby state, and the photovoltaic power generation DC system and the user-side energy storage system stop supplying power.
