Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in the first aspect, this utility model provides a photovoltaic power grid system access structure, including distributed photovoltaic, inverter 2, reactive power compensation device, energy storage device, dual-winding transformer 3, user bus and common bus.
[0036] Among them, distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems are used to convert solar energy into electrical energy; there are multiple distributed PV systems. Inverter 2 is connected to the distributed PV system and is arranged on its circuitry. Reactive power compensation devices, such as SVG (Static Var Generator) and capacitor banks, are used to adjust power output fluctuations caused by PV power generation fluctuations. Energy storage devices, such as bidirectional inverter 2 and BMS (Battery Management System), are used for PV-coordinated operation to smooth power generation fluctuations and participate in peak shaving and frequency regulation. Dual-winding transformer 3 is connected to inverter 2, the reactive power compensation device, and the energy storage device via circuit breaker 1. The user busbar, connected to dual-winding transformer 3 via circuit breaker 1, is used for user internal loads. The public busbar, connected to dual-winding transformer 3 via circuit breaker 1, is used for the public power grid.
[0037] In one embodiment, the inverter 2, the reactive power compensation device, and the energy storage device are each connected to a circuit breaker 1 before being connected to the line, and are connected to the double-winding transformer 3 through the circuit breaker 1 after being connected to the line.
[0038] The circuit breaker 1 connected to the distributed photovoltaic system is designed to be easy to install and operate, interlockable, with a clear breaking point, grounding function, capable of interrupting fault current, and equipped with undervoltage tripping and overvoltage detection closing functions. The breaking capacity of the equipment should be selected based on the short-circuit current level, with a certain margin. For 10 kV systems, a 20 kA or 25 kA circuit breaker is generally recommended. Circuit breaker 1 should ideally have remote control, remote monitoring, and remote telemetry functions and meet the requirements of the corresponding communication protocols.
[0039] In one embodiment, the output terminals of multiple double-winding transformers 3 are connected to the grid connection point circuit breaker 1 via circuit breaker 1, and the grid connection point circuit breaker 1 is connected to the user bus.
[0040] If the photovoltaic system outputs low-voltage AC power (e.g., 400V) through inverter 2, it needs to be stepped up to 10kV through a double-winding transformer 3 to match the voltage level of the public power grid or the user's 10kV bus (complying with the grid connection voltage requirements of GB / T 19964-2012) and reduce line transmission losses. In other words, it is deployed between the output of inverter 2 and the grid connection point to realize the conversion of low-voltage photovoltaic AC power to 10kV grid voltage.
[0041] In one embodiment, the circuit breaker 1 at the grid connection point is also connected to the common bus.
[0042] A dedicated photovoltaic grid-connected circuit breaker 1 shall be installed at the grid connection point. Circuit breaker 1 shall have undervoltage tripping, overvoltage tripping, and voltage detection closing functions. The undervoltage tripping setting should preferably be set to 20%UN for 10 seconds, the overvoltage tripping setting should preferably be set to 135%UN, and the voltage detection closing setting should preferably be set to greater than 85%UN. It shall also have residual current protection. The breaking capacity of the equipment shall be selected according to the short-circuit current level, with a certain margin. Circuit breaker 1, which is used in conjunction with the energy meter to achieve grid connection and off-grid control, shall also meet the technical requirements of "Q / GDW 11421-2020 Technical Specification for External Circuit Breakers for Energy Meters".
[0043] In one embodiment, circuit breakers / load switches 4 are connected to both the user bus and the common bus.
[0044] The user bus is connected to a circuit breaker 1 / load switch 4, which quickly cuts off the fault current when a short circuit or overload occurs on the user side to prevent it from affecting the photovoltaic equipment. It supports manual / automatic tripping, which facilitates the maintenance of the photovoltaic system.
[0045] Circuit breaker 1 / load switch 4 are connected to the common busbar to isolate public power grid faults (such as 10kV line short circuits), prevent reverse power supply from the user side from causing the accident to escalate, control the switching of reactive power compensation equipment, and maintain the stability of the common busbar voltage.
[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a second aspect, this utility model provides a cable clamp for use in the aforementioned photovoltaic grid system access structure. In photovoltaic grid systems, the securing of cables after installation is crucial to prevent accidents and ensure the cables are firmly secured after wiring. Therefore, this utility model provides a cable clamp comprising an S-shaped fixing member 5, a B-shaped limiting member 6, a slot 7, and a limiting plate 65.
[0047] The cable clamp has a certain width. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The middle view is a side view, so the width is not shown. The width can be set as needed, such as 3cm, 5cm or 7cm.
[0048] One end of the S-shaped fixing member 5 and the extended end 61 of the B-shaped limiting member 6 form an integrated structure. The extended end 61 is provided with a slot 7. The arc-shaped part of the B-shaped limiting member 6 near the extended end 61 is a limiting plate 65. The limiting plate 65 and the B-shaped limiting member 6 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 66. The limiting plate 65 can be rotated to a set angle and pulled into the slot 7 to prevent the cable stuck in the B-shaped limiting member 6 from detaching from the B-shaped limiting member 6.
[0049] In one embodiment, the B-shaped limiting member 6 includes a support plate 62, a first arc-shaped plate 63, a second arc-shaped plate 64, and a limiting plate 65; one end of the support plate 62 is connected to one end of the first arc-shaped plate 63, and the other end is connected to one end of the S-shaped fixing member 5; the end of the first arc-shaped plate 63 away from the support plate 62 is connected to one end of the second arc-shaped plate 64; the end of the second arc-shaped plate 64 away from the first arc-shaped plate 63 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate 65; wherein, the area enclosed by the support plate 62 and the first arc-shaped plate 63 is used to insert the first cable 81, and the area enclosed by the second arc-shaped plate 64, the limiting plate 65, and the support plate 62 is used to insert the second cable 82.
[0050] The S-shaped fastener 5, the support plate 62, the first arc-shaped plate 63, and the second arc-shaped plate 64 are integrated into one structure, thereby improving strength.
[0051] In one embodiment, the slot 7 is a U-shaped structure, with the first sidewall 71 of the U-shape extending along its length and the end of the sidewall having a certain curvature so as to approach the second sidewall 72 to form a slot 73.
[0052] The limiting plate 65 has an arc-shaped structure with the arc direction facing outward. The distance between the end of the second arc-shaped plate 64 away from the first arc-shaped plate 63 and the slot 7 is less than the length of the limiting plate 65. However, during the assembly process, since the S-shaped fastener 5, the support plate 62, the first arc-shaped plate 63, and the second arc-shaped plate 64 are all made of metal materials, such as iron, they have a certain degree of ductility. This ductility can be used to allow the end of the limiting plate 65 away from the second arc-shaped plate 64 to enter the slot 7 along the slot 73. Since the slot 73 of the slot 7 has an arc-shaped structure, the limiting plate 65 can be easily inserted into the slot 7.
[0053] The arc-shaped structure of the limiting plate 65 faces outward. Thus, the second cable 82, which is trapped in the area enclosed by the second arc-shaped plate 64, must first break through the arc-shaped structure of the limiting plate 65 before it can release the interlock between the limiting plate 65 and the slot 7. Therefore, to a certain extent, it prevents the cable from separating from the cable clamp.
[0054] In one embodiment, the end of the S-shaped fastener 5 that is away from the support plate 62 is spaced a certain distance from the support plate 62.
[0055] The S-shaped fastener 5 and the support plate 62 are spaced a certain distance apart, which can be easily inserted into the outwardly extending edge of the channel steel, etc. In addition, the interface of the S-shaped fastener can also be inserted into other cables for fixation.
[0056] In one embodiment, the first arc plate 63 and the second arc plate 64 are connected, and the corresponding support plate 62 is provided with a triangular rubber protrusion to facilitate the deformation of the rubber material to facilitate the insertion of the first cable 81. It also facilitates the connection between the first arc plate 63 and the second arc plate 64 to prevent the first cable 81 and the second cable 82 from sticking together, and can also limit the position of the first cable 81 to a certain extent.
[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
