Embodiment:The effect of each component of the invention is:
A) DC bus 1 is used to connect all parts, between the components transmitted in both directions electric energy.DC bus is maintained Voltage (such as 24V) is always above the voltage (such as 12V) for being charged or discharged pond.Larger, to be charged or discharged pond quantity more System in, use copper bar, preferably to carry high current.
B) the common Switching Power Supply in market can be selected in power module 2.It can obtain electric energy from electricity network, and output is stablized DC voltage (a small range adjustable) arrive DC bus.Included excess current protective function.When it is each be electrically charged battery needed for Electric energy, greater than each electric energy for being discharged battery and being discharged, and when bus battery is also not enough to provide institute's electricity demand, direct current Busbar voltage can decline.When DC bus-bar voltage is lower than the output voltage of power module, power module starts to feed to system Electric energy is allowed to be unlikely to too low to maintain busbar voltage, prevents bus battery overcurrent, over-discharge.This is nature and smooth Process.
C) bus battery 3 is direct or via bus battery management unit, the battery pack being articulated on DC bus.It can Pass through parallel connection by multiple single batteries, be composed in series.Play storage, release electric energy.Meanwhile bus battery is equivalent to great Rong The capacitor of amount can play the buffer function of stable busbar voltage.Bus cell voltage (such as 24V), is always above electric power storage The voltage (such as 12V) in pond.
When the electric energy (power) for being discharged battery and being discharged, taken greater than the electric energy (power) for being electrically charged battery, by mother Line battery receptacle, the electric energy for storing redundance.When bus battery charge is full, it is not enough to receive, storage redundance electric energy When, start electric-heating assembly, initiatively, with heating system consumed, to maintain system to stablize.
The electric energy needed for being electrically charged battery, when greater than being discharged electric energy that battery is discharged, bus battery automatic discharging, Electric energy needed for supplying charging.When bus battery is also not enough to provide institute's electricity demand, then automatically, by power module from alternating current Network obtains electric energy, to maintain needed for system.
D) main control unit 4 realizes 2 major functions:
First is that the following crucial system parameter of acquisition:
The supply electric current of power module;
The electric current (or power configuration situation) of electric-heating assembly;
Charging or discharging current (two-way), the voltage of bus battery;
DC bus-bar voltage.
Together with configuration parameter, the bus battery capacity configuration parameter etc. of power module power, together by communication bus, divide Issue each charge/discharge unit.
Second is that estimating bus battery charge state according to busbar voltage, bus battery current.Control the electric-heating assembly (side PWM Formula), with heating system, initiatively consume bus battery be not enough to receive, the part electric energy of storage, prevent the over-voltage of bus battery, It overcharges, system is maintained to stablize.
E) charge/discharge unit 5 is the core component of system, is based on bidirectional DC/DC shift theory.By single-chip microcontroller, field-effect tube (MOSFET), the main elements such as radiator, small-sized axial flow fan form.Single-chip microcontroller executes program, according to the current state of system (power module feed electric current, electric-heating assembly electric current (or power configuration situation), bus battery charging and discharging stream, DC bus-bar voltage, Power module power, bus battery capacity) it is required according to technique, the charge and discharge for executing the modes such as constant current, constant pressure to battery are grasped Make, and shows, records the parameters such as its electric current, voltage, ampere-hour.The working power of itself, is also derived from DC bus.
In system, multiple charge/discharge units can be configured.Each unit, the battery that a termination is charged or discharged, the other end It is connected in parallel to DC bus.That is, charge/discharge unit connects between battery and DC bus.It has 2 main working conditions:
First is that charged state.When needing to charge, if bus battery, power module, it is sufficient to provide needed for this time charging Electricity, charge/discharge unit are directly entered charged state, execute charging operations;Otherwise, this charging application, waiting system item are hung up When part meets, then automatic execution charging operations.
When to battery charging, charge/discharge unit works in such a way that BUCK is depressured, and electric energy is drawn from DC bus.From straight The electric energy drawn on stream bus, the electric energy that a part is discharged from other charge/discharge units to discharge, another part come From bus battery.When bus battery is not enough to provide charging institute's electricity demand, then automatically, obtained by power module from electricity network Electric energy is taken, to maintain needed for system.
Second is that discharge condition.When needing to discharge, if bus battery, electric-heating assembly, it is sufficient to absorb or consumption is this time discharged The electricity discharged, charge/discharge unit are directly entered discharge condition, execute discharge operation;Otherwise, this application is hung up, system is waited When system condition meets, then automatic execution discharge operation.
When to electric power storage tank discharge, charge/discharge unit draws (release) electric energy with the work of BOOST boosting mode, from battery. By DC bus, a part of electric energy by other units to charge be transferred to it is corresponding be electrically charged battery, another part, By bus battery storage.When bus battery charge is full, is not enough to receive, stores redundance electric energy, then by main control list Member controls electric-heating assembly via electronic switch, initiatively, with heating system is consumed, so that system voltage be maintained to stablize.
F) battery 6 is the target for needing to charge, discharge.It can be single battery, be also possible to by multiple monomers The battery pack that battery is connected, composed in parallel.
G) in 7 realization system of communication bus each component interconnection.Main control unit passes through communication bus, conveyer system parameter To each charge/discharge unit;Charge/discharge unit realizes itself function according to these parameters.It is collected simultaneously each charge/discharge unit Operating status.
H) electric-heating assembly 8.Main control unit controls the electronic switch between electric-heating assembly and DC bus with PWM mode, Prevent electric-heating assembly initiatively, with heating system consumes system from the electric energy that shifts, store.
The present invention in a particular embodiment, mainly considers following two aspects:
It on the one hand is the capacity configuration of bus battery:When system is run, by production scheduling, the charge and discharge of battery are deployed Ratio can make bus battery be in the idle state for neither charging nor discharging.Also that is, what battery was discharged when discharging Electricity, the other batteries all to be charged absorb.This is perfect condition, does not also need power module from electricity network Take electricity.
Terrifically, when battery whole in system discharges simultaneously, bus battery is needed to absorb maximum electric energy.Bus Battery capacity can be calculated as follows:
Cbus=(N*Cb*0.8)/0.3;
Note:Cbus:Bus battery capacity (ampere-hour);
N:Battery quantity in system, that is, charge/discharge unit quantity;
0.3:Bus battery rate of charge;
0.8:Estimation transfer efficiency when electric power storage tank discharge.
But, in practice, bus battery capacity can be suitably reduced, because:
First is that can be asked using " hanging up application-delay to execute " mode, the electric discharge that charge/discharge unit delay executes battery It asks.Suitable opportunity is namely waited, then starts to discharge.In that way it is possible to avoid consuming electric energy with heating system completely.Charge and discharge Single-chip microcontroller in unit executes program, realizes " hanging up application-delay to execute " function with can be convenient.
Second is that battery whole in system discharges simultaneously, it is egregious cases, battery can be deployed by production scheduling Charge and discharge ratio, mitigate bus battery energy storage pressure;It is, the charge capacity and discharge electricity amount of allotment battery, to the greatest extent Amount is allowed to balance.
Third is that when more battery is badly in need of electric discharge, and when production scheduling is difficult to deploy charge and discharge ratio, main control list Member plays a role:Electric-heating assembly is controlled, with heating system, consumes part electric energy.
In practice, estimating system median generatrix battery capacity, is aided with rational management as the following formula, and system can be with stable operation:
Cbus=N*Cb;
Also that is, bus battery capacity and battery total capacity are roughly the same.
It on the other hand is the power configuration of power module:Terrifically, when battery whole in system, while with maximum Constant-current charge, and when bus battery has been vented (charged is 0%), system institute electricity demand is derived from electricity network completely.It can The power of power module is calculated as follows:
N*P=N*Vb*Cb*0.15;
Note:n:Power module quantity;
P:Power module output power;
N:Battery quantity in system, that is, charge/discharge unit quantity;
Vb:Nominal battery voltage;
Cb:Accumulator capacity (ampere-hour);
0.15:Battery rate of charge;
Similarly, using the method for " hanging up application-delay to execute ", the charging that charge/discharge unit delay executes battery is asked It asks.Suitable opportunity is namely waited, then is started to charge.The configuration power of power module can be reduced in this way, to reduce and be System cost.
In practice, as the following formula in estimating system power module configuration power, be aided with rational management, system can stablize fortune Row:
N*P=(N*Vb*Cb*0.15) * 0.5.
