[0002] In recent years, with the maturity of photovoltaic power generation technology and policy promotion, more and more families and enterprises install photovoltaic power generation system. However, photovoltaic power generation has significant intermittency and volatility, and is greatly affected by weather conditions and sunshine time. In the strong light of the day, photovoltaic system will generate a large amount of power, but the power demand at this time is usually low, making it difficult to completely consume the generated power. To solve the problem of large photovoltaic system power generation and not being used, the existing several solutions have certain limitations: grid-connected scheme, many photovoltaic systems upload excess power to the grid through grid-connected inverters to realize the secondary utilization of power. But due to the low grid price, the user's benefit is limited. At the same time, some regional power grid companies have certain restrictions on small-scale photovoltaic system grid connection, and may refuse to receive additional power during peak load period of the grid, affecting the economic benefit of the user. Direct current coupling energy storage system, in the direct current coupling system, photovoltaic power is directly stored into the direct current battery module through the controller, and then the direct current is converted into alternating current by the inverter for household use. The direct current coupling system has poor compatibility with the existing photovoltaic system, and the installation is complex and the cost is high. For users who have installed traditional photovoltaic systems, the cost of transformation is large and has great influence on the original system. SUMMARY

[0003] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the utility model provides an alternating coupling energy storage all-in-one machine, which only needs to be connected with an alternating coupling inverter and a distribution box to complete the installation, the installation process is simple, the original photovoltaic system does not need to be complicatedly transformed, and large-scale circuit modification is avoided. The alternating coupling energy storage all-in-one machine flexibly stores excess power during flat valley period and releases during peak period.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the technical scheme of an alternating coupling energy storage all-in-one machine for transforming photovoltaic system, comprising:

[0005] An alternating coupling inverter is used to connect a distribution box to access a photovoltaic system and a household power grid.

[0006] A battery management module is connected with the alternating coupling inverter.

[0007] A battery module is connected with the alternating coupling inverter and the battery management module respectively.

[0008] An energy management module is connected with the AC coupling inverter and the battery management module respectively, and is used to acquire the power generation of the photovoltaic system, the power consumption of the load and the storage power of the battery module, and send a control command to the AC coupling inverter to switch the AC coupling inverter between the charging mode and the discharging mode.

[0009] By the above technical solution, the photovoltaic system can be reconstructed only by connecting the AC coupling inverter and the distribution box to access the photovoltaic system and the household power grid, without complex reconstruction of the original photovoltaic system, thereby avoiding large-scale circuit modification. The AC coupling energy storage integrated machine flexibly stores the excess power during the valley period and releases the power during the peak period.

[0022] Through the above-mentioned scheme, the stored energy in the battery module is used to supply power to the load at high electricity price, and the battery module is charged for standby at low electricity price, so as to reduce the electricity cost of the user.

[0023] Further, a cabinet is comprised, the AC coupling inverter, the battery management module, the battery module and the energy management module are all installed in the cabinet.

[0040] Embodiment: combined Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, the embodiment discloses an alternating coupling energy storage all-in-one machine for transforming photovoltaic system, comprising:
