Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage frequency conversion, specifically an energy storage frequency converter. Background Technology

[0002] A frequency converter is a control device that uses the switching action of power semiconductor devices to convert mains frequency power into electrical energy of other frequencies to regulate the speed and torque of a motor. Typically, a frequency converter is connected between the three-phase AC input of the power grid and the load motor, which drives various mechanical loads. Because the power requirements of the load vary significantly under different operating conditions (such as locomotive starting, braking, acceleration, and deceleration), the frequency of the frequency converter's output voltage needs to be adjusted in real time to match the motor speed, thereby achieving energy saving and stable operation.

[0003] However, traditional frequency converters can only operate continuously when the mains power supply is normal or an emergency DC power supply is available. Once the power supply network fails or the system itself malfunctions and loses power, the frequency converter loses its driving capability, and the motor equipment will immediately stop running. In certain situations where there are strict requirements for continuous power supply (such as areas with large peak and off-peak electricity price differences, hospitals, communication base stations and other equipment that cannot be powered off, mines, oil fields, remote areas and other places with unstable power supply, fans, water pumps and other industrial equipment that have not been upgraded with frequency converters and have large electricity price differences), if backup energy switching or energy storage protection measures are not taken in time, it will not only lead to production interruption, but may also cause equipment damage, safety accidents or significant economic losses. Therefore, we propose an energy storage frequency converter. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, adapt to practical needs, and provide an energy storage frequency converter to solve the problem that current traditional frequency converters can only operate continuously when the mains power supply is normal or an emergency DC power supply is connected; once the power supply network fails or the system itself loses power, the frequency converter loses its driving capability, and the motor equipment will immediately stop running. In some situations with strict requirements for continuous power supply (such as rail transit, metallurgy, chemical production lines, etc.), if backup energy switching or energy storage protection measures are not taken in time, it will not only lead to production interruption, but may also cause equipment damage, safety accidents, or significant economic losses.

[0006] Preferably, the rectifier includes a filter and a PWM rectifier unit for filtering out noise from the input power grid and converting AC power into DC power.

[0007] Preferably, the DC-DC converter is used to enable bidirectional energy flow between the low-voltage side and the high-voltage side of the system, and to maintain the DC bus voltage within a set range.

[0008] Preferably, the PACK is composed of multiple individual battery cells connected in series and parallel to form a battery module.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0027] Example 1: An energy storage frequency converter, see [link to example]. Figures 1 to 5 The system includes a main unit 1, a control panel 2 mounted on the surface of the main unit 1, a high-voltage box 7 mounted in the top area inside the main unit 1, a DC-DC converter 8 fixedly mounted on the side of the high-voltage box 7, multiple PACKs 11 mounted at one bottom end inside the main unit 1, a liquid cooling unit 10 mounted at the other bottom end inside the main unit 1, and a rectifier 9 mounted on the side of the liquid cooling unit 10.

[0028] For details, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The rectifier 9 includes a filter and a PWM rectifier unit, which are used to filter out noise from the input power grid and convert AC power into DC power.

[0029] First, the AC power is connected to the three-phase AC power grid through the junction box 4 on the side of the main unit 1. The AC power is first filtered out by the rectifier 9 (including filter and PWM rectifier unit) installed on the side of the liquid cooler unit 10 to remove noise and is rectified into DC power to form a DC bus.

[0030] For more details, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The DC-DC8 is used to enable bidirectional energy flow between the low-voltage side and the high-voltage side of the system, and to maintain the DC bus voltage within a set range.

[0031] The DC-DC-8 module is connected in parallel between the DC bus and battery PACK11. Based on commands from the system controller (using a PID algorithm), it activates boost / buck conversion during off-peak hours to charge and store energy in PACK11. During peak hours or periods of sudden load increases, it discharges in reverse, injecting the energy stored in PACK11 into the DC bus via the DC-DC-8 module.

[0032] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 PACK11 is composed of multiple individual cells connected in series and parallel to form a battery module.

[0033] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The high-voltage box 7 is an intermediate unit connecting the battery cluster and the energy storage converter.

[0034] It is worth noting that, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The main unit 1 is also equipped with a frequency converter module, which is used to control the speed and torque of the AC motor and achieves precise control by adjusting the output voltage and frequency.

[0035] After the DC bus voltage stabilizes, the frequency converter module inverts the DC power into AC power of the required frequency and amplitude, and outputs it to the motor to achieve precise control of the motor speed and torque.

[0036] It is worth noting that, see Figure 1 The top of the main unit 1 is equipped with an exhaust shroud 3 for auxiliary heat dissipation.

[0037] During operation, the liquid cooling unit 10 continuously cools the PACK11, high-voltage box 7 and power semiconductor devices. The exhaust hood 3 and control panel 2 work together to achieve real-time monitoring and heat dissipation of temperature and operating status, ensuring that the equipment can perform energy storage and frequency conversion integration work efficiently and reliably under various operating conditions.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that, see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The main unit 1 has a junction box 4 installed on its side. The junction box 4 has an output terminal 5 and an input terminal 6 inside.

[0039] When using an energy storage inverter, it is first connected to the three-phase AC power grid through the junction box 4 on the side of the main unit 1. The AC power is first filtered by the rectifier 9 (including a filter and a PWM rectifier unit) installed on the side of the liquid-cooled unit 10 to remove noise and rectify it into DC power, forming a DC bus. The DC-DC converter 8 module is connected in parallel between the DC bus and the battery PACK11. According to the instructions issued by the system controller (with PID algorithm), the boost / buck converter is activated during off-peak hours to charge and store energy in PACK11; during peak hours or periods of sudden load increase, it discharges in reverse to charge the PACK11. The stored energy is injected into the DC bus through DC-DC converter 8. After the DC bus voltage stabilizes, the frequency converter module (inverter bridge and vector control unit) inverts the DC power into AC power of the required frequency and amplitude and outputs it to the motor to achieve precise control of the motor speed and torque. During operation, the liquid cooling unit 10 continuously performs thermal management on PACK11, high voltage box 7 and power semiconductor devices. The exhaust hood 3 and control panel 2 work together to achieve real-time monitoring and heat dissipation of system temperature and operating status, ensuring that the equipment can perform energy storage and frequency conversion integration work efficiently and reliably under various operating conditions.

[0040] In addition, all components designed in this utility model are general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. Those skilled in the art can fully implement them, so there is no need to elaborate. The content protected by this utility model does not involve improvements to the internal structure and method.
