Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of generators, and more specifically to an emergency power supply system. Background Technology
[0002] Generators are mechanical devices that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. They work by converting energy generated by a power source into mechanical energy, which is then transmitted to a generator, and finally converted into electrical energy. The power source can be a water turbine (driven by water flow), a steam turbine (driven by airflow), a diesel engine (driven by fuel combustion), or other power machinery.
[0003] In home emergency power scenarios, generators use power-driven industrial frequency generators to directly supply power to household loads. Generators require batteries and starter motors. The battery powers the starter motor, which in turn drives the generator to produce electricity. Batteries have a large starting current. Furthermore, traditional generators have a fixed rotational speed, calculated as F = P * N / 60, where F represents the generator's frequency in Hertz (Hz), P represents the number of pole pairs, and N represents the generator's rotational speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Generators operate at varying efficiency under different loads and need to run continuously, resulting in relatively low energy efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0020] This embodiment provides an emergency power supply system.
[0021] refer to Figure 1 The emergency power supply system includes: 1. Variable frequency motor, 2. Reverse drag control module, 3. Inverter, 4. Energy storage inverter, 5. Power components, and 6. Energy storage battery.
[0022] The output terminal of the variable frequency motor 1 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the inverter 3, and the rotor of the variable frequency motor 1 is driven by the power component 5. The reverse drag control module 2 is electrically connected to the variable frequency motor 1, the inverter 3, and the energy storage battery 6. The inverter 3 is also electrically connected to the power component 5 and the energy storage inverter 4, and has a communication connection with the energy storage inverter 4. The output terminal of the inverter 3 can supply power to the load. The energy storage inverter 4 is also electrically connected to the energy storage battery 6, and the output terminal of the energy storage inverter 4 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the inverter 3.
[0023] refer to Figure 1 Inverter 3 includes a rectifier and voltage regulator module 31 and a DC-AC inverter module 32. The rectifier and voltage regulator module 31 serves as the input terminal of inverter 3 and is electrically connected to the output terminal of the variable frequency motor 1. The rectifier and voltage regulator module 31 and the DC-AC inverter module 32 are connected in series. The output terminal of the DC-AC inverter module 32 serves as the output terminal of inverter 3 and can be connected to the load to supply power. An energy storage inverter 4 is electrically connected between the rectifier and voltage regulator module 31 and the DC-AC inverter module 32, and the output terminal of the energy storage inverter 4 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the DC-AC inverter module 32.
[0024] In the aforementioned emergency power system, inverter 3 can acquire the speed signal of power component 5 and perform shutdown and speed control on power component 5. Power component 5 can drive variable frequency motor 1 to rotate and generate electricity. Variable frequency motor 1 can drive power component 5 in reverse to start it. It can start the generator without a starter motor and does not require a separate starting battery, and the starting current is small. Variable frequency motor 1 can provide AC power to the rectifier and voltage regulator module 31 of inverter 3. After rectification by the rectifier and voltage regulator module 31, DC power is output, which is then inverted by the DC-AC inverter module 32 to provide AC power. Inverter 3 and energy storage inverter 4 meet the rated output voltage requirements.
[0025] After receiving the control signal from the inverter 3, the reverse drag control module 2 can drive the variable frequency motor 1 to rotate. When the reverse drag control module 2 detects that the starting speed has been reached, it automatically disconnects the drive power to the variable frequency motor 1. When the unit needs to be started, the inverter 3 sends a start signal to the reverse drag control module 2, and the energy storage battery 6 provides power to the reverse drag control module 2. Since the inverter 3 communicates with the energy storage inverter 4, the inverter 3 can charge the energy storage inverter 4. At the same time, the energy storage inverter 4 can also charge the energy storage battery 6, and the energy storage battery 6 can also discharge to the energy storage inverter 4. When the energy storage inverter 4 directly outputs DC power to the load, it meets the rated voltage requirements. The energy storage inverter 4 can also output DC power to the DC-AC inverter module 32 for inversion and to provide inverted DC power.
[0026] refer to Figure 1Inverter 3 is connected to mode selection module 7, and can also connect to photovoltaic power generation modules and / or wind power generation modules. The emergency power system can operate in three modes for home emergency power use, selectable via mode selection module 7: energy-saving mode, hybrid mode, and generator mode. Customers can choose the appropriate mode based on their specific application scenario.
[0027] Specifically, in the energy-saving mode, this scenario primarily uses the energy storage inverter 4 to supply power to the load. The energy storage inverter 4 communicates the load size and the charge level of the energy storage battery 6 to the inverter 3. When the load is too high, an alarm is triggered, the output is shut down, and an alarm is issued. When the discharge charge drops to the set alarm value, the energy storage inverter 4 issues an alarm and communicates with the inverter 3. The inverter 3 controls the reverse drag control module 2, which drives the variable frequency motor 1, causing the power unit 5 to start. At this time, the power unit 5 reverse-drives the variable frequency motor 1 to rotate, and the inverter 3 switches to using generator power to supply the load, with excess power charging the energy storage battery 6. When the energy storage battery 6 reaches the set protection point, the energy storage inverter 4 communicates with the generator set to switch the load output. The energy storage inverter 4 then carries the load output, while the inverter 3 controls the generator set to stop, continuing the cycle of this mode function, thus controlling the generator set to its maximum efficiency point. This better utilizes energy and reduces traditional fuel consumption.
[0028] In hybrid mode, the output power is superimposed. This invention illustrates this: for example, an X-KW generator is configured with Y-KW energy storage. The system can support a (X+Y)-KW load. This configuration can provide high-power equipment exceeding the generator's rated power, improving the unit's operating efficiency and economy. For instance, if a customer needs 20KW of electrical equipment, a normal configuration would require a 20KW generator. However, using this patented technology, a 10KW generator and a 10KW energy storage inverter can be configured.
[0029] In generator mode, the functions of a traditional generator are retained, generating electricity using conventional energy sources. Simultaneously, the unit employs rectifier-inverter technology, designed to avoid the fixed relationship between the traditional generator output frequency and power speed. This allows for adjusting the power output speed to suit different loads, resulting in better energy utilization and reduced consumption of conventional fuels.
[0030] The above description of the embodiments is only used to provide a detailed introduction to the technical solution of this utility model. However, the description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand this utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
