[0010] Accordingly, none of the above solutions is suitable for implementing a power transmission device capable of jointly supplying and serving a large, essentially unlimited number of direct current and alternating current consumers.
[0011] Our objective is to develop a matrix- type electrical energy distribution device capable of jointly supplying and serving a virtually unlimited number of direct current and alternating current consumers in a virtually unlimited configuration, thereby overcoming the above shortcomings.
[0012] The solution to the targeted task is the matrix-arranged electrical energy distribution device according to claim 1, and the specific implementation methods are defined in claims 2 to 11.
[0013] Our invention is described in detail below with the help of drawings, where
[0014] Figure 1 shows the power transmission diagram of the device laid out in a plane,
[0015] Figure 2 shows the power transmission circuit structure of the AC / DC matrix.
[0016] One of the main components of the power transmission device is an AC system. The AC system comprises n alternating current busbars AS1, AS2, ..., ASn, which may operate at different or identical voltage levels, frequencies and phase angles. Each AC busbar may also be provided with n public or private network connection points HCS1, HCS2, ... , HCSn, each having n corresponding measuring units Ml , M2, ... , Mn.
[0017] The connections of alternating current electrical energy devices (AVEE) are connected to the AS1, AS2, ... , ASn alternating current busbars. For example, the alternating current electrical energy device connects to the n-th ASn alternating current busbar via its AVEEn alternating current electrical energy device connector. A characteristic feature of AC units is that they operate as independent devices with own power source, i.e. they may have energy generating, consuming or storing devices.
[0018] AC busbars AS 1 , AS2, ... , ASn connect to the other independent busbars via the AC / DC matrix at AC connection points Al, A2, ..., An. For example, alternating current busbar AS1 connects to the elements of the AC / DC matrix via alternating current connection point Al . The other main component of the power transmission device is a direct current (DC) system. The DC system consists of m busbars DS1, DS2, DSm, which may operate at different or identical direct current voltage levels.
[0019] The direct current electrical energy devices connect to the DS direct current busbars by means of direct current electrical energy device connectors DVEE1, DVEE2, ..., DVEEm. For example, a direct current electrical energy device connects to the m-th direct current busbar DSm via direct current electrical energy device connector DVEEm. A characteristic of the units connected to connectors DVEE1, DVEE2, ... , DVEEm is that they operate as independent devices with own power source, i.e. they may have energy generating, consuming or storing devices.
[0020] The direct current busbars connect to the other independent busbars via direct current connection points DI, D2, ... , Dm. For example, direct current busbar DS1 connects to the elements of the AC / DC matrix via direct current connection point DI .
[0021] The AC / DC matrix is another key element of the power transmission device. The AC / DC matrix comprises n alternating current system connections to the AS alternating current busbars via the alternating current connection points Al , A2, ... , An. The AC / DC matrix comprises m direct current system connections to the DS direct current busbars. These are connection points DI, D2, ... , Dm.
[0022] According to the internal structure of the AC / DC matrix, the direct current connection points DI, D2, ... , Dm and alternating current connection points Al, A2, ... , An of the of the AC and DC systems connect to internal n alternating current conductors AW1, AW2, ... , AWn and m direct current conductors DW1, DW2, ... , DWm, which are shown vertically in Figure 2. The AC / DC matrix includes b internal connecting busbars OKS1, OKS2, ... , OKSb-1, OKSb, which are shown horizontally in Figure 2; their function is to provide an AC busbar of the appropriate voltage level, frequency and phase angle, or a DC busbar of the appropriate voltage level required for the connecting function of the device.
[0023] The AC / DC matrix includes n alternating current conductors AW1, AW2, ... , AWn connected by nxb alternating current voltage converters AFA1.1, AFA1.2, ... , AFAl.b-1, AFAl.b; AFA2.1, AFA2.2, ... , AFA2.b-l, AFA2.b; ... ; AFAn.1, AFAn.2, ... , AFAn.b-1, AFAn.b to internal busbars OKS1, OKS2, ... , OKSb-1, OKSb. The AC / DC matrix also includes m direct current conductors DW 1 , DW2, ... , DWm connected by mxb direct current voltage converters DFA1.1 , DFA1.2, ... , DFAl.b-1, DFAl.b; DFA2.1, DFA2.2, ... , DFA2.b-l, DFA2.b; ... ; DFAm.l, DFAm.2, ... , DFAm.b-1, DFAm.b to internal connection busbars OKS1, OKS2, ... , OKSb-1, OKSb. Internal connection busbars OKS1, OKS2, ... , OKSb-1, OKSb that are configured as alternating or direct current busbars according to the configuration required by the function of the device.
[0024] The nxb alternating current voltage converters AFA1.1, AFA1.2, ... , AFAl.b-1, AFAl.b; AFA2.1, AFA2.2, ... , AFA2.b-l, AFA2.b; ... ; AFAn.l, AFAn.2, ... , AFAn.b-1, AFAn.b and mxb direct current voltage converters DFA1.1, DFA1.2, ... , DFAl.b-1, DFAl.b; DFA2.1, DFA2.2, ... , DFA2.b-l, DFA2.b; ... ; DFAm. l, DFAm.2, ... , DFAm.b-1, DFAm.b perform the conversion of the respective voltages of conductors AW1, AW2, ... , AWn and DW1, DW2, ... , DWm to the respective voltages of internal busbars OKS1, OKS2, ... , OKSb-1, OKSb in one or two directions.
[0025] Typical voltage converters may be (without limitation) DC / AC inverters and MPPT DC / DC operating point adjustment units of photovoltaic solar power plants, AC / DC converters of battery energy storage systems, AC / AC frequency converters connecting alternating-current busbars of different frequencies, as well as motor-generator groups; in the simplest case, a connecting conductor or even a cut in the conductor may also function as a voltage converter. The function of the power transmission system is to convert the energy of the physical energy carrier into alternating current for alternating current devices or direct current for direct current devices. The physical energy carrier can be, for example, natural gas (gas turbine power plants), chemical energy (batteries, hydrogen generators), potential or kinetic energy (hydroelectric power plants, engines), or heat (electric heaters), etc. In respect of energy transmission, energy devices can be classified into three groups:
[0026] Generator: converts the energy of a physical energy carrier into electrical energy. For example, a gas turbine generator converts the energy of natural gas into alternating current electrical energy for alternating current devices. For example, the electromagnetic radiation energy of the sun is converted into direct current electrical energy by photovoltaic solar panels, which are direct current devices.
[0027] Consumer: a device that converts electrical energy into a physical energy carrier. Examples include direct current motors, as direct current devices that convert direct current electrical energy into rotational kinetic energy, or household electric heaters as alternating current devices that convert alternating current electrical energy into thermal energy.
[0028] Storage device: a device that converts electrical energy into physical energy carrier and vice versa. If electrical energy is converted into the energy of a physical energy carrier, a charging process is implemented during which the storage device acts as a consumer on busbars AS1, AS2, ... , ASn or DS1, DS2, ... , DSm. If the energy of the physical energy carrier is converted to electrical energy, it is referred to as discharge, and the storage device acts as a generator on busbars AS1, AS2, ... , ASn or DS1, DS2, ... , DSm.
[0029] Alternating current voltage converters AFA1.1, AFA1.2, ... , AFAl.b-1, AFAl.b; AFA2.1, AFA2.2, ... , AFA2.b-l, AFA2.b; ... ; AFAn.l, AFAn.2, ... , AFAn.b-1, AFAn.b and direct current voltage converters DFA1.1, DFA1.2, ... , DFAl.b-1, DFAl.b; DFA2.1, DFA2.2, ... , DFA2.b-l, DFA2.b; ... ; DFAm.1, DFAm.2, ... , DFAm.b-1, DFAm.b match the voltage levels of the devices connected to the connectors of alternating current electrical devices AVEE1, AVEE2, ... , AVEEn and of direct current electrical devices DVEE1, DVEE2, ... , DVEEm operating on busbars AW1, AW2, ... , AWn and DW1, DW2, ... , DWm to the voltage levels of internal connecting busbars OKS1, OKS2, ... , OKSb-1, OKSb. This route can be used to establish a connection between busbars AS 1 , AS2, ... , ASn and DS 1 , DS2, ... , DSm.
[0030] The operation of the AC / DC matrix and of the entire power transmission device is detailed below. The individual elements of the power transmission device are designed according to the function of each element. Alternating current generation (or consumer or storage) units connected to alternating current electrical device connectors AVEE1, AVEE2, ... , AVEEn generate to (or consume from or store in) alternating current busbars AS1, AS2, ... , ASn and optionally connect to n network connection points HCS1, HCS2, ... , HCSn of the public electricity network and connect to the alternating current connection points Al, A2, ... , An of the AC / DC matrix. The devices - generation (or consumer or storage) units - connected to direct current electrical device connectors DVEE1, DVEE2, ... , DVEEm generate to (or consume from or store in) direct current busbars DS1, DS2, ... , DSm and connect to direct current connection points DI, D2, ... , Dm of the AC / DC matrix.
[0031] The alternating current or direct current voltage levels of internal connecting busbars OKS1, OKS2, ... , OKSb-1, OKSb may be specified during configuration. The voltage levels of alternating current voltage converters AFAx.y are selected to match the voltage levels of alternating current busbars AS 1 , AS2, ... , ASn and of internal connecting busbars OKS 1 , OKS2, ... , OKSb- 1 , OKSb. Direct current voltage converters DFA1.1, DFA1.2, DFAl.b-1, DFAl.b; DFA2.1, DFA2.2, DFA2.b-l, DFA2.b; ; DFAm.l, DFAm.2, ... , DFAm.b-1, DFAm.b operate similarly.
[0032] The electrical energy from alternating current electrical device connectors AVEE1, AVEE2, ... , AVEEn and direct current electrical device connectors DVEE1, DVEE2, ... , DVEEm is transported via busbars AW1, AW2, ... , AWn and DW1, DW2, ... , DWm, alternating current voltage converters AFA1.1, AFA1.2, ... , AFAl.b-1, AFAl.b; AFA2.1, AFA2.2, ... , AFA2.b-l, AFA2.b; ... ; AFAn.1, AFAn.2, ... , AFAn.b-1, AFAn.b and direct current voltage converters DFA1.1, DFA1.2, ... , DFAl .b-1, DFAl.b; DFA2.1, DFA2.2, ... , DFA2.b-l, DFA2.b; ... ; DFAm.l, DFAm.2, ... , DFAm.b-1, DFAm.b to internal busbars OKS1, OKS2, ... , OKSb-1, OKSb, which implement the matching of voltages. The electrical energy is transferred from internal connecting busbars OKS1, OKS2, ... , OKSb-1, OKSb to alternating and direct current electrical device connectors AVEE1, AVEE2, ... , AVEEn and DVEE1, DVEE2, ... , DVEEm via alternating current voltage converters AFA1.1, AFA1.2, ... , AFAl.b-1, AFAl.b; AFA2.1, AFA2.2, ... , AFA2.b-l, AFA2.b; ... ; AFAn.l, AFAn.2, ... , AFAn.b-1, AFAn.b, direct current voltage converters DFA1.1, DFA1.2, ... , DFA1 b-1, DFA1 b; DFA2.1 , DFA2.2, ... , DFA2.b-l, DFA2.b; ... ; DFAm.1 , DFAm.2, ... , DFAm.b-1, DFAm.b, and alternating current conductors AW1, AW2, ... , AWn and direct current conductors DW1, DW2, ... , DWm. Network connection points HCS1, HCS2, ... , HCSn can be regarded as special alternating current electrical energy devices.
[0033] Obviously, the prescribed and standard electrical dimensioning and design procedures shall be complied with to ensure the correct operation of the power transmission system during the designing of the electrical layout (busbars, cables, switchgears, electrical protections, etc.). A key characteristic of the entire power transmission system is that the devices can be used as power sources via the AC / DC matrix in a fixed or in a flexible configuration. For example, fixed configuration means a rigid-wired or busbar connection, whereas flexible configuration means a controllable switching device by means of which the connection can be enabled or disabled.
[0034] The entire system can be configured flexibly; for example, the AC / DC matrix is suitable for implementing the following configurations:
[0035] - 2 solar power plants, 2 consumers, 3 battery energy storage devices at 3 connection points.
[0036] - 1 energy storage device, 1 consumer at 2 network connection points.
[0037] Electrical protection and automation devices inside and outside the devices and converters form part of the entire power transmission system. The same well-known solutions commonly used in all electrical networks are applied to this device as well.
[0038] A control system is also used to operate the device. Thus, the entire power transmission system includes controllable power transmission devices for emitting signals, measurements, commands and setpoints; a control device, the modules of which are centralised, distributed, hierarchical, master-slave, cloud-based or local hardware modules, e.g. for the execution of autonomous control / protection or external control / data transmission, for receiving optimisation configurations and their parameters, for storing them and for managing and serving databases and configurations; and communication devices for communication with power transmission devices, optimisers and external control centres, and for combining devices into one or more virtual devices and then dividing them into partitions (repartitioning) into virtual devices according to the results of the optimisation, e.g. for the virtual consolidation of storage capacities and the creation of new virtual capacity partitions and for assigning them to specific tasks.
