Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of DC technology for substations, specifically relating to a battery voltage data acquisition device. Background Technology
[0002] Substation DC systems contain various types of batteries, which play a crucial role in the DC system. When AC power fails, DC power is essential, providing a stable 220V DC power supply to other important systems and ensuring continuous power supply to critical equipment such as monitoring, measurement and control, and back-end systems within the substation. In fact, it is the batteries in the DC system that maintain power supply; therefore, battery monitoring is of paramount importance.
[0003] Existing battery voltage data acquisition devices mostly use B24 modules, with each module capable of collecting voltage data from only 24 batteries. With the promotion of integrated power supplies by the State Grid, battery capacity requirements have increased to over 400Ah, and battery rack structures commonly employ double-layer or multi-group configurations, leading to a significant increase in the number of batteries. Existing battery voltage data acquisition devices require multiple B24 modules connected in parallel; for example, a 220V system requires 5 B24 modules, and a 110V system requires 3. Furthermore, the modules need to be connected across the battery rack via wiring, which not only complicates construction and increases wiring costs but also raises the failure rate due to redundancy. In addition, wiring between battery rack layers or groups requires additional conduit, further increasing installation difficulty and maintenance costs. These problems severely restrict the reliability and economy of DC system monitoring. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that simplifies wiring layout, reduces the number of modules, and improves acquisition efficiency to meet the monitoring needs of large-capacity battery packs.

[0053] The DC system voltage level is 110V, and it is equipped with a new type of board B54 acquisition module 210, such as... Figure 4 As shown: Each novel board B54 acquisition module 210 is respectively mounted on a battery rack of a battery pack 410, and the battery rack of the battery pack 410 contains 52 batteries; the novel board B54 acquisition module 210 is connected to the embedded monitoring host 610 in parallel through the RS485 communication interface 310. The second novel board B54 acquisition module has the same circuit structure as the first novel board B54 acquisition module.
[0054] The specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows:
[0055] The device comprises an embedded monitoring host 610, a new type B54 data acquisition module 210, and an RS485 communication interface 310. The embedded monitoring host 610 uses an industrial-grade ARM processor, is equipped with an LCD display and touch input functionality, and has a built-in data storage unit and alarm module. The new type B54 data acquisition module 210 is an independent unit with 54 pairs of voltage acquisition terminals, each pair corresponding to the positive and negative terminals of a battery, and is configured with an RS485 communication interface 310 and a power interface.
[0056] Module Installation: Taking a 220V DC system as an example, the system requires 104 batteries, installed in two battery racks, with 52 batteries in each rack. One new type B54 acquisition module 210 is installed on each battery rack, fixed to the side wall of the rack. The first 52 of its 54 acquisition terminals are connected to the batteries in that rack, with the remaining 2 terminals reserved. The power terminals of the new type B54 acquisition module 210 are connected to the DC 220V bus of the DC system. The RS485 communication interface 310 is connected to the embedded monitoring host 610 via shielded twisted-pair cable in parallel.

Figure 3 Taking the dual-battery rack shown as an example, after each rack is independently equipped with the new type B54 acquisition module 210, only one RS485 bus needs to be led out from the new type B54 acquisition module 210 to the host, completely eliminating... Figure 2 The central base has 5 sets of B24 modules: 1#B24, 2#B24, 3#B24, 4#B24, and 5#B24, which have complex conduits and cross-connection lines.
[0059] Functionality: The embedded monitoring host 610 displays the real-time voltage of each battery, using color to distinguish between normal (green), warning (yellow), and fault (red). When a battery voltage exceeds a set threshold, the embedded monitoring host 610 triggers an audible and visual alarm and records the event. Historical data is stored in the built-in FLASH memory and can be exported to a USB flash drive or uploaded to the station control system via Ethernet.
[0060] Advantage verification: In 220V system applications, such as Figure 2 As shown: what used to require 5 B24 modules and a large number of cross-branch lines now only requires 2 new type B54 acquisition modules 210, reducing costs by 60%, wiring by 70%, and construction time by 50%. Testing has shown that the system failure rate has decreased from an average of 3 times per year to 0.5 times, significantly improving reliability.
[0061] In summary, by optimizing module capacity and communication architecture, this invention achieves efficient, economical, and reliable operation of battery voltage acquisition, and is suitable for upgrading and retrofitting DC systems in various substations.
