Description
Battery swap station cabinets, AC discharge cabinets, and charging station systems Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a battery swap station cabinet, an AC discharge cabinet, and a charging station system, and in particular to a battery swap station cabinet, an AC discharge cabinet, and a charging station system with multiple power supply operation modes. Background Art
[0002] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a system block diagram of an existing charging station system. The charging station system includes a plurality of battery swap stations 901-90N and an AC power output device 950. The plurality of battery swap stations 901-90N are connected in parallel with each other, and each battery swap station 901-90N has a plurality of rechargeable batteries (not shown), and any one of them can be pulled out for operation. The rechargeable batteries can not only be used to charge electric vehicles (EVs), but can also be used to power general loads through their discharge. One operational situation is: when the three-phase AC input (such as the grid) fails and cannot supply power to the charging station system, the system will continue to operate using the built-in battery of the battery swap station 901-90N in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) mode to ensure sustainable operation of the system. In this case, the AC power output device 950 can be used as an emergency power supply for other equipment. Another operational scenario is when the three-phase AC input (e.g., the grid) is operating normally, and the power station owner wishes to use the charging station system's AC power output device 950 to output AC power to other devices, thereby sharing the grid's power supply. Therefore, in both the first and second scenarios, the rechargeable battery plays the role of discharging power, and the charging station system will determine which of the battery swap stations 901-90N will maintain system operation and operate in discharge mode.
[0003] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a functional block diagram of an existing charging station system. Under the current system configuration shown in Figure 2, users can replace the portable battery used by electric vehicles (such as electric motorcycles) at a battery swap station in a specific charging station system, charge the portable battery in a low-power state at the battery swap station, and remove the portable battery with a high power level from the battery swap station for replacement. However, the battery swap cabinet of the current charging station system has the following defects: (1) An uninterruptible power system (UPS) with idle batteries must be set up so that the charging station system can still maintain the battery swap service of the battery swap cabinet when the city power is interrupted; (2) The portable battery can only be charged in one direction; (3) When the portable battery is fully charged, the system enters an idle state.
[0004] As shown in Figure 2, after the external power source (e.g., grid power PS) is converted by the power supply unit 110, a bus voltage of, for example, but not limited to, 400 volts (or 388 volts) is established on the DC bus Pbus. This bus voltage is then stepped down by each voltage converter 121-124 to a battery voltage of, for example, but not limited to, 48 volts, for charging the corresponding batteries B1-B4. Under normal operation, one of the batteries B1-B4 (e.g., battery B1) functions as a UPS. This means that if the mains power is cut off or fails, battery B1 can discharge and provide energy as the bus voltage to maintain normal system operation. In this case, the voltage provided by battery B1 is converted by the corresponding voltage converter 121 to, for example, but not limited to, 355 volts on the DC bus Pbus. In other words, when the system detects a bus voltage of 355 volts, it determines that the mains power is cut off or failed, and that one of the batteries B1-B4 is operating in a UPS state. On the contrary, if the system detects that the bus voltage is 400 volts (or 388 volts), it can be known that the current state is a state of normal mains power supply.
[0005] However, this detection mechanism requires testing based on the voltage difference of a high-voltage bus voltage, i.e., 355V or 400V (or 388V). In addition to considering the high-voltage withstand capability of components, devices, and circuit designs, the high voltage and resulting high current pose a risk to personnel and require careful consideration.
[0006] Therefore, how to design a battery swap station cabinet, AC discharge cabinet and charging station system to solve the problems and technical bottlenecks existing in the existing technology is an important topic studied by the inventors of the present disclosure.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 8, which is a block diagram of the charging station system of the present invention. The charging station system includes the aforementioned battery swap station cabinets 1A, 1B, 1C and the AC discharge cabinet 2, wherein the battery swap station cabinets 1A, 1B, 1C are connected to the AC discharge cabinet 2. Incidentally, since the battery swap station cabinets 1A, 1B, 1C have different embodiments, the charging station system of the present invention has different embodiments in conjunction with the use of the AC discharge cabinet 2. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the combined use of the battery swap station cabinet 1C and the AC discharge cabinet 2 shown in Figure 8. In other words, the charging station system of the present invention may also include the combined use of the battery swap station cabinet 1A and the AC discharge cabinet 2, as well as the combined use of the battery swap station cabinet 1B and the AC discharge cabinet 2.
[0066] As shown in Figure 8, the battery swap station cabinet 1C also includes a connecting switch 10. Specifically, the connecting switch 10 is connected between the DC bus 12 and the second DC bus 21 to connect the battery swap station cabinet 1C to the AC discharge cabinet 2. That is, when the connecting switch 10 is turned on, the DC bus voltage VBUS supplied to the battery swap station cabinet 1C is provided to the AC discharge cabinet 2 through the DC bus 12 and the second DC bus 21. The on or off of the connecting switch 10 is controlled by the mainboard 16. Specifically, the mainboard 16 provides a connection control signal SC1 to control the on and off of the connecting switch 10.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 9, which is a flow chart of the power supply management method of the present invention. The power supply management method can be applied to different embodiments of the battery swap station cabinets in the charging station system of the present invention, such as any of the first embodiment shown in Figure 3, the second embodiment shown in Figure 4, and the third embodiment shown in Figure 5, which are described in detail first. When the system is normal, the system determines whether the mains power is normally supplied (step S11). If it is determined that the mains power is normally supplied, the system determines whether the battery is in normal charging mode (step S12). If it is determined that the battery is in normal charging mode, the system charges the battery (step S13). Incidentally, in step S12, the confirmation conditions are: (a) whether the bidirectional charge and discharge DC converters 13-1, 13-2, ..., 13-N have any abnormalities; (b) whether the batteries 14-1, 14-2, ..., 14-N have any abnormalities; (c) whether the system has entered normal charging mode. If none of the above confirmation conditions (a) and (b) are abnormal, and the confirmation condition (c) is "yes", the result of step S12 is "yes"; if one of the above confirmation conditions (a) and (b) is abnormal, the system evaluates that some batteries 14-1, 14-2, ..., 14-N can be charged, and the confirmation condition (c) is "yes", the result of step S12 is "yes"; if none of the above confirmation conditions (a) and (b) are abnormal, and the confirmation condition (c) is "no", the result of step S12 is "no"; if one of the above confirmation conditions (a) and (b) is abnormal, the system evaluates that some batteries 14-1, 14-2, ..., 14-N can be charged, and the confirmation condition (c) is "no", the result of step S12 is "no".
[0069] Regarding the battery charging in step S13, please refer to FIG10 , which is a schematic diagram of the operation of the first power supply mode of the charging station system of the present invention. In the first power supply mode, when the mains voltage V AC3 When the AC-DC converter 11 is in normal operation (e.g. a three-phase AC power source), it converts the mains voltage V AC3 Converted into a DC voltage (for example, 388 volts, but not limiting the present invention), namely, the DC bus voltage V BUS , and is established on the DC bus 12. Further, the DC bus voltage V BUSThe DC bus voltage V is provided to the first charge-discharge DC converter 13-1, the second charge-discharge DC converter 13-2, ..., the Nth charge-discharge DC converter 13-N, and the DC bus voltage V is converted to V by the first charge-discharge DC converter 13-1, the second charge-discharge DC converter 13-2, ..., the Nth charge-discharge DC converter 13-N. BUS The first DC voltage V1, the second DC voltage V2, ..., the Nth DC voltage VN are converted respectively to charge the first battery 14-1, the second battery 14-2, ..., the Nth battery 14-N respectively.
[0070] Furthermore, the first auxiliary DC converter 15 receives the DC bus voltage V BUS , and convert the DC bus voltage V BUS is the first state voltage V S1 In one embodiment, the first state voltage V S1 12.4 volts, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. S1 To provide the uninterruptible power supply unit UPS and the motherboard 16, to maintain the power required for the system operation, so as to maintain the normal operation of the system. Therefore, the uninterruptible power supply unit UPS can provide a second state voltage V S2 To the main board 16, for controlling and monitoring the plurality of batteries 14-1, 14-2, ..., 14-N. In one embodiment, the second state voltage V S2 The voltage is 11.75 volts, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0071] At this time, in the normal charging mode, the connection control signal S provided by the motherboard 16 C1 The control connection switch 10 is turned off, so the circuit between the power station cabinet 1 and the AC discharge cabinet 2 is disconnected, making the DC bus voltage V BUS The control signal S provided by the second mainboard 23 cannot be provided to the second DC bus 21 of the AC discharge cabinet 2 through the connecting switch. C2 Control input switch 25 to turn on, so that the single-phase AC power supply V AC1 As the output voltage V of AC discharge cabinet 2 OUT .
[0072] After step S13, the process returns to step S11, where it re-executes the determination of whether the AC power is being supplied normally, and the subsequent related steps. Incidentally, in step S11, the confirmation conditions include: (a) whether the AC power is input to the AC-DC converter 11, and whether any abnormalities have occurred in the bidirectional charge-discharge DC converters 13-1, 13-2, ..., 13-N; and (b) whether any abnormalities have occurred in the first auxiliary DC converter 15. If neither of the above confirmation conditions (a) or (b) is abnormal, the result of step S11 is "yes." If either of the above confirmation conditions (a) or (b) is abnormal, the result of step S11 is "no."
[0073] In step S11, if the system determines that the mains power supply is abnormal, it performs emergency AC power supply (step S14). For example, it is not limited to power supply by a configured uninterruptible power supply. In addition, in step S12, if the system determines that the battery is not in normal charging mode, it performs peak shaving (step S15) to reduce the mains power V AC3 The system then implements emergency AC power supply (step S14) to mitigate power supply pressure during peak hours. Incidentally, "peak shaving and valley filling" refers to a method used to regulate power loads: During peak power demand periods, high power consumption can lead to power shortages or grid overload. Peak shaving involves reducing power demand during peak periods by restricting the use of certain non-essential devices or encouraging users to reduce their electricity consumption through pricing mechanisms, thereby alleviating grid pressure. Furthermore, during low power demand periods, power consumption is low, potentially wasting electricity resources. Valley filling involves using incentives (such as lowering electricity prices) to encourage users to use electricity during low-demand periods, thereby increasing power demand during these periods and improving power resource utilization efficiency. This optimizes power resource allocation and ensures stable power system operation. Therefore, if the judgment in step S11 or step S12 is "No," emergency AC power supply (step S14) will be implemented. The system then enters battery-powered idle mode (step S16).
[0074] In the battery power off idle mode, the uninterruptible power supply unit UPS temporarily provides the power required by the system to maintain continuous operation of the system. Regarding the battery power off idle mode in step S16, please refer to Figure 11, which is an operating diagram of the second power supply mode of the charging station system of the present invention. AC3 When the power supply fails or the AC-DC converter 11 is abnormal, the DC bus 12 will not be able to establish the DC bus voltage V BUS , so the DC bus voltage V BUS Converted to the voltage V1…V N Therefore, the batteries 14 - 1 . . . 14 -N cannot be charged, and are in a battery power-off idle mode.
[0075] Since the batteries 14-1...14-N are in the power-off idle mode, the batteries 14-1...14-N wait for confirmation to output (discharge) to the bidirectional charge-discharge DC converters 13-1, 13-2,..., 13-N, and then provide the converted power to the DC bus 12. At this time, the uninterruptible power unit UPS outputs the second state voltage V S2 To the mainboard 16, to maintain the normal operation of the system, and the second state voltage V S2 Output from the mainboard 16 to the batteries 14-1, 14-2, ..., 14-N. In addition, in the battery power off idle mode, the connection control signal SC1 provided by the mainboard 16 controls the connection switch 10 to be turned off, so that the circuit between the battery swap station cabinet 1 and the AC discharge cabinet 2 is disconnected. Furthermore, the single-phase AC power supply VAC1 cannot be used as the output voltage V of the AC discharge cabinet 2. OUT .
[0076] After step S16, in the battery-off idle mode, with the UPS temporarily providing the required power for the system, a power supply battery is selected (step S17) to provide the power required for system operation. As previously mentioned, in the battery-off idle mode, the batteries 14-1...14-N wait to determine which one will be selected to provide the power required for system operation. Regarding the selection of the power supply battery in step S17, please refer to FIG. 12 , which illustrates the operation of the charging station system in the third power supply mode of the present invention.
[0077] In the selected power supply battery operation, the system selects one of the batteries 14-1...14-N as the source of power. Therefore, the power output by the selected battery 14-1...14-N is converted by the corresponding charge-discharge DC converter 13-1...13-N, and the converted power is then provided to the DC bus 12. For example, if the first battery 14-1 is selected as the power supply, the first discharge DC converter 13-1 converts the power output (discharge) of the first battery 14-1 and provides the converted power to the DC bus 12 as the DC bus voltage V BUS Therefore, the first auxiliary DC converter 15 receives the DC bus voltage V BUS , and convert the DC bus voltage V BUS is the first state voltage V S1 , to provide the power required for the operation of the mainboard 16 and the uninterruptible power supply unit UPS to maintain the normal operation of the system.
[0078] After step S17, it is determined whether the operation is in the discharge and battery lending mode in which the AC discharge cabinet can be discharged and the batteries are in the loanable state (step S18). That is, it is determined whether the AC discharge cabinet can be operated in the discharge mode, and then the DC power provided by the batteries 14-1...14-N is converted into AC power output for discharge, and it is determined whether the standby batteries 14-1...14-N can be loaned out for use. Incidentally, the operation of battery lending is to add battery lending logic when the system is discharged. When selecting the judgment formula for battery lending, the system operation prioritizes the following state weights: (1) the number of days that the batteries 14-1...14-N can be used to supply power to the system; (2) at least n batteries 14-1...14-N can be used as battery lending mode; (3) at least n batteries 14-1...14-N can be used as discharge mode.
[0079] If the judgment of step S18 is "yes", the system selects the battery swap station cabinets 1 (step S19). Under the operation of the battery swap station cabinet selection mode, the charging station system will determine one of the battery swap station cabinets as the discharge mode. Specifically, the system confirms that it has entered the battery swap station cabinet selection mode, and the system specifies the battery swap station cabinet for discharge and, for example but not limited to, 4 batteries 14-1...14-N, and then completes the selection of the battery swap station cabinet for discharge, preparing to enter the discharge mode. Incidentally, in step S18, the confirmation conditions are: (a) at least one battery swap station cabinet is maintained, and more than two batteries 14-1...14-N can supply power to the system mode; (b) at least one battery swap station cabinet is maintained, and more than four batteries 14-1...14-N can be used as the discharge mode; (c) at least one battery swap station cabinet is maintained, and more than four batteries 14-1...14-N can be used as the battery lending mode. If the above confirmation conditions (a), (b), and (c) are all met, the result of the judgment in step S18 is "the AC discharge cabinet can be discharged and the batteries are in a loanable state"; if the above confirmation conditions (a) are "yes", (b) are "no", and (c) are "yes", the result of the judgment in step S18 is "the batteries are in a loanable state"; if the above confirmation condition (a) is "no", the result of the judgment in step S18 is "entering the battery-powered system mode"; if the above confirmation condition (c) is "no", the result of the judgment in step S18 is "entering the battery-powered system mode".
[0080] After step S19, the selected battery swap station cabinet supplies power to the AC discharge cabinet (step S20). Regarding powering the AC discharge cabinet in step S19, please refer to FIG. 13 , which is a schematic diagram of the fourth power supply mode of the charging station system of the present invention, or FIG. 14 , which is a schematic diagram of the fifth power supply mode of the charging station system of the present invention.
[0081] As shown in Figure 13, when the mains voltage V AC3 During normal power supply, the system commands the batteries 14-1…14-N to switch to discharging mode. Therefore, the batteries 14-1…14-N provide a DC bus voltage V through the bidirectional DC charge-discharge converters 13-1, 13-2,…,13-N. BUS On the DC bus 12. And the first auxiliary DC converter 15 converts the DC bus voltage V BUS is the first state voltage V S1 , to provide the power required for the operation of the motherboard 16 and the uninterruptible power supply unit UPS to maintain the normal operation of the system. At this time, the motherboard 16 provides a connection control signal S C1 The connecting switch 10 is controlled to be turned on, so that the DC bus 12 of the power station cabinet 1 is connected to the second DC bus 21 of the AC discharge cabinet 2. Therefore, the DC bus voltage V BUS The signal is transmitted to the second DC bus 21 through the DC bus 12. At this time, the second mainboard 23 of the AC discharge cabinet 2 controls the signal S C2 The input switch 25 is controlled to be off, thereby disconnecting the single-phase AC power supply V AC1 Input to AC discharge cabinet 2. Finally, the system will evaluate the battery 14-1...14-N with higher capacity, discharge it to the DC to AC converter 24 (or inverter) of AC discharge cabinet 2, and convert the DC bus voltage V BUS is the AC conversion voltage V ACC , as the output voltage V of AC discharge cabinet 2 OUT .
[0082] As shown in Figure 14, when the mains voltage V AC3 When the AC to DC converter 11 fails to supply power normally or is abnormal, the batteries 14-1...14-N change to discharging mode. Therefore, the batteries 14-1...14-N provide a DC bus voltage V through the bidirectional DC charge-discharge converters 13-1, 13-2,...,13-N. BUS On the DC bus 12. And the first auxiliary DC converter 15 converts the DC bus voltage V BUS is the first state voltage V S1 , to provide the power required for the operation of the motherboard 16 and the uninterruptible power supply unit UPS to maintain the normal operation of the system. At this time, the motherboard 16 provides a connection control signal S C1 The connecting switch 10 is controlled to be turned on, so that the DC bus 12 of the power station cabinet 1 is connected to the second DC bus 21 of the AC discharge cabinet 2. Therefore, the DC bus voltage V BUSThe voltage is transmitted to the second DC bus 21 via the DC bus 12. At this point, the second mainboard 23 of the AC discharge cabinet 2 controls the input switch 25 to turn off via the control signal SC2, thereby disconnecting the single-phase AC power supply VAC1 from the AC discharge cabinet 2. Ultimately, the system evaluates the higher-capacity batteries 14-1…14-N and discharges them to the DC-to-AC converter 24 (or inverter) of the AC discharge cabinet 2, which converts the DC bus voltage V BUS is the AC conversion voltage V ACC , as the output voltage V of AC discharge cabinet 2 OUT .
[0083] After step S20, the system returns to step S18 to determine whether the AC discharge cabinet is in the discharge and battery lending mode, where the batteries can be lent out. If the result of step S18 is "No", it means that the AC discharge cabinet 2 can no longer provide AC power, so the system checks to determine whether the AC power supply V AC3 Whether the power supply is normal (step S21).
[0084] If the mains voltage V AC3 Normal power supply, the system determines whether the battery is in normal charging mode (step S22). If it is determined that the battery is in normal charging mode, the system enters the battery recovery idle mode (step S23). In the battery recovery idle mode, the uninterruptible power unit UPS temporarily provides the power required by the system to maintain continuous operation of the system. Regarding the battery power-off idle mode of step S23, please refer to Figure 15, which is an operating diagram of the sixth power supply mode of the charging station system of the present invention. When the battery 14-1, 14-2, ..., 14-N is converted from the discharging mode (discharging mode) to the charging mode (charging mode), the system needs to change to the battery recovery idle mode first. At this time, the AC to DC converter 11 does not convert the mains power V AC3 is the DC bus voltage V BUS To the DC bus 12. In this case, the DC to AC converter 24 of the AC discharge cabinet 2 first stops the single-phase AC power supply V AC1 Input to the AC discharge cabinet 2. Therefore, the mainboard 16 of the power station cabinet 1 provides a connection control signal S C1 The connecting switch 10 is controlled to be turned off to disconnect the second DC bus 21 from the DC bus 12. Since the batteries 14-1, 14-2, ..., 14-N are in the battery recovery idle mode, the uninterruptible power supply unit UPS provides the second state voltage V S2 To the main board 16 to maintain normal operation of the system.
[0085] After step S23, the system enters normal operation to charge batteries 14-1, 14-2, ..., 14-N (step S24). The operation of step S24 can refer to the operation of the aforementioned step S13, which will not be repeated here. If the judgment of step S22 is "no", it means that the system determines that batteries 14-1, 14-2, ..., 14-N are not in normal charging mode. At this time, batteries 14-1, 14-2, ..., 14-N only maintain system operation and return to step S17 to select the power supply battery again. It will not be repeated here. Similarly, if the judgment of step S21 is "no", it means that the system determines that the mains V AC3 Abnormal power supply, at this time, the batteries 14-1, 14-2, ..., 14-N only maintain the operation of the system, and return to step S17 to select the power supply battery again, which will not be repeated here.
[0086] Please refer to Figure 16, which is a block diagram of the first embodiment of the human-machine interface of the charging station system of the present invention. As shown in Figure 16, the charging station system includes a plurality of battery swap station cabinets 1-1 to 1-N and an AC discharge cabinet 2. The battery swap station cabinets 1-1 to 1-N are interconnected via a common bus, and the AC discharge cabinet 2 is connected to the battery swap station cabinets 1-1 to 1-N via a common bus. One of the battery swap station cabinets 1-1 to 1-N supplies power to the AC discharge cabinet 2, and the power supply process of the battery swap station cabinets 1-1 to 1-N to the AC discharge cabinet 2 is a time-free switching process. That is, assuming that the power supply is switched from the first battery swap station cabinet 1-1 to the Nth battery swap station cabinet 1-N to the AC discharge cabinet 2, during the power supply switching, the AC discharge cabinet 2 can seamlessly connect the power supply from the first battery swap station cabinet 1-1 to the Nth battery swap station cabinet 1-N, thereby maintaining the normal operation of the AC discharge cabinet 2. Incidentally, the above-mentioned power supply switching principle can be that the one with the highest output voltage of the battery swap station cabinets is used to power the AC discharge cabinet, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0087] In addition, the charging station system also includes a human-machine interface HMI. The human-machine interface HMI is arranged inside one of the battery swap station cabinets (in this embodiment, the first battery swap station cabinet 1-1), and the first battery swap station cabinet 1-1 equipped with the human-machine interface HMI communicates with other battery swap station cabinets 1-2 to 1-N. Therefore, the user can interact with the machine or system more easily, intuitively and effectively by operating the human-machine interface HMI set in the first battery swap station cabinet 1-1 through a graphical user interface (GUI), a touch screen, a voice control interface, or even a virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR interface), so as to improve operational efficiency and user experience, and thus have a comprehensive and accurate operation of the charging station system.
[0088] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 17, which is a block diagram of a first embodiment of the human-machine interface of the charging station system of the present invention. Unlike the embodiment shown in Figure 16, the human-machine interface (HMI) shown in Figure 17 is independently located outside the battery swap station cabinets 1-1 to 1-N and is connected to each of the battery swap station cabinets 1-1 to 1-N for communication via a control bus. Therefore, users can operate the HMI to fully and accurately control the charging station system.
