[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein.
[0028] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides an energy storage combiner power distribution control system, including a UPS unit 1 and a PCS unit 2.
[0029] In energy storage and power distribution applications, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) primarily converts DC power to AC power through inverters and other modular circuits, ensuring that equipment can continue to operate normally during power outages and preventing data loss or equipment damage. PCS (Power Conversion System) is a device used to convert and control electrical energy. Its main function is to control the charging and discharging process of batteries and perform AC-DC conversion, thereby achieving the storage and release of electrical energy.
[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, PCS unit 2 includes a first PCS unit and a second PCS unit. The UPS unit 1 includes a UPS module 10. The input terminal of the UPS module 10 is connected to an automatic transfer switch 11. The automatic transfer switch 11 includes a main power connection terminal and a backup power connection terminal. The main power connection terminal is used to connect to the main AC power supply, and the backup power connection terminal is used to connect to the backup AC power supply. The output terminal of the UPS module 10 is connected to a UPS-L wire and a UPS-R wire. A QF14 switch and a QF15 switch are also connected to the UPS-L wire and the UPS-R wire. The QF14 switch is connected to the first PCS unit, and the QF15 switch is connected to the second PCS unit.
[0031] Both the first and second PCS units are equipped with PCS modules. The UPS module 10 and the PCS module in this solution are existing technologies and can be purchased according to the system design parameters.
[0032] In this scheme, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the primary AC power supply provides power to electrical equipment such as liquid chillers, air conditioners, lighting switches, and fire protection systems. If the primary AC power supply fails, the automatic transfer switch 11 will respond promptly and automatically switch to the backup AC power supply, ensuring timely power supply to the aforementioned electrical equipment, especially the safety-related fire protection system.
[0033] Additionally, switch QF14 is connected to the first PCS unit, and switch QF15 is connected to the second PCS unit. This connection is a control connection; switch QF14 controls the first PCS unit, and switch QF15 controls the second PCS unit. Both switches QF14 and QF15 are connected to UPS module 10. If UPS module 10 fails, switches QF14 and QF15 can be used to control the PCS units, allowing the battery power in the PCS units to supply power to the equipment.
[0034] In this solution, on the one hand, by setting up a primary AC power supply and a backup AC power supply, the system's operational stability is improved. If the primary AC power supply fails, the backup AC power supply can be used promptly to provide power. On the other hand, the QF14 and QF15 switches connected to the UPS module 10 can control the operation of the PCS unit. If the UPS module 10 fails, the battery power in the PCS unit can promptly supply power to the equipment, further improving the system's safety and reliability, and ensuring continuous and stable system operation.
[0035] Furthermore, the normal power supply connection terminal of the automatic transfer switch 11 is connected to the normal AC power supply via the QF13 switch. For example... Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the primary AC power supply is connected to switch QF13, which is connected to the primary power supply connection terminal of automatic transfer switch 11. Automatic transfer switch 11 is connected to UPS module 10. In the event of a prolonged failure of the primary AC power supply, switch QF13 can be disconnected, allowing the backup AC power supply to supply power only to electrical equipment requiring safety, thus effectively regulating power distribution.
[0036] To improve power supply reliability, a first surge protector 12 is installed at the input of the main AC power supply. A second surge protector is installed at the input of the backup AC power supply. These surge protectors reduce voltage during lightning and operational overvoltage events, thus protecting the UPS and other electrical equipment and ensuring a more stable power supply.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the first PCS unit includes multiple first battery packs, each connected in parallel to a positive busbar and a negative busbar. The positive and negative busbars are connected to switch QF18, which is electrically connected to switch QF14. The second PCS unit also includes multiple first battery packs, each connected in parallel to a positive and a negative busbar. The positive and negative busbars are connected to switch QF19, which is electrically connected to switch QF15. In this design, switch QF14 corresponds to switch QF18, and switch QF15 corresponds to switch QF19. Switches QF14 and QF15 can control the operation of switches QF18 and QF19, thus controlling the operation of the PCS unit from the UPS unit side. When the UPS unit fails, the PCS unit can respond promptly and provide power.
[0038] Preferably, the UPS module 10 is also connected to a UPS battery 13, which is a 120-minute backup battery. In the event of an AC power failure, it can supply power to loads such as fire protection equipment, further improving the reliability of the system power distribution. Simultaneously, a leakage current protection switch and a QF10 switch are configured at the output of the UPS module 10 to provide power distribution safety for the UPS unit.
[0039] Specifically, the UPS battery 13 comprises a battery string formed by connecting several individual battery cells 35 in series, and the battery strings are connected in parallel. Each battery string is fixed to the base 34 by a U-shaped clamp 33. This integrates the UPS battery 13 onto the base 34, facilitating installation. Specifically, as... Figure 3 As shown, the base 34 is formed by multiple bottom supports 31. To further secure the batteries, side supports 32 are also provided on the sides of the battery string. One end of the side support 32 is fixedly connected to the base 34, and the other end abuts against the side of each battery cell 35. Each battery cell 35 in the battery string is connected to two terminals 37, a positive terminal and a negative terminal, for series connection of the battery cells. Studs 36 are provided on both sides of the base 34, a positive stud and a negative stud, for parallel connection of the battery strings.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, UPS unit 1 is also connected to a BMS management module. Specifically, it is connected to the BMS management module via UPS-L and UPS-R cables. The BMS management module monitors the UPS unit's operating status in real time, enabling maintenance personnel to promptly identify and address safety hazards and faults, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the energy storage combiner power distribution control system.
