Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
Fig. 1 shows a structure diagram of a battery management system BMS, which mainly includes the following structures:
BMU: the PACKBS with the functions of cell voltage and temperature sampling, passive equalization and the like is arranged in the PACK, adopts a software-free design, and realizes communication and control functions through a differential UART daisy chain.
CMU: the power supply device is arranged in the switch box and has the functions of SOC calculation, PACKBS control, main power circuit on-off control and the like. Wherein RACK is a battery cluster.
SMU (system level BMS): the system is arranged in a direct current power distribution cabinet and has the functions of environment monitoring (selecting and matching), RACK BMS control and main power circuit on-off control.
In a BMS system, the BMS system is divided into three-level architecture, wherein the first-level architecture is SMU, the second-level architecture is CMU, and the three-level architecture is BMU, and the three-level architecture forms a communication architecture of the BMS. A CMU is connected to a plurality of BMUs, each BMU being arranged in a battery PACK, and the battery PACKs being connected in series to form a battery cluster RACK. The single RACK comprises N series battery modules, a CMU control board and an AD acquisition circuit, and is mainly used for acquiring total voltage of a battery end and total voltage of a PCS end and a master control relay. The battery terminal voltage and the PCS terminal voltage should be theoretically equal when the main loop relay is closed as shown in fig. 1.
The plurality of battery clusters are connected in parallel. The SMU can communicate with CMUs in the battery module, and the CMUs can communicate with BMUs internal to the battery module.
More specifically:
a battery module PACK is formed by connecting a plurality of electric cores in parallel or in series, and a BMU in the PACK is responsible for sampling the voltages of all the electric cores in the PACK and sampling the temperature points arranged in the PACK, so that the electric cores in the PACK are balanced under certain conditions.
A plurality of battery modules PACK are connected in series to form a battery cluster RACK, a CMU is arranged in the RACK, and the CMU mainly functions to collect total voltage and total current after the PACKs are connected in series, control the relay (P+ and P-) to be closed and opened, calculate the state of charge SOC and the like.
The voltage and the current after the RACK are connected in parallel are supplied to a PCS (process control system) through a BCP (binary coded decimal) bus cabinet, so that the power distribution conversion of energy storage, a power grid and a photovoltaic system is realized. The BCP is internally provided with SMUs, and the main function is to collect information such as voltage, current, temperature and the like of the multi-CMU and then to gather the information to the PCS controller.
The PCS controller interacts with the energy management unit EMS to realize the control requirement with the terminal customer.
The LC in fig. 1 is a local controller, and is responsible for managing the SMU devices of the lower computer, and receiving the scheduling control of the devices such as the EMS devices of the upper computer;
the PC, i.e., the local computer, is responsible for receiving the EMS data and displaying and storing the sampled data.
And a power control circuit: and the hardware circuit is used for realizing conversion between direct current at the battery end and alternating current at the user end.
In general, in a BMS system, a plurality of RACK exist, due to different factors such as delivery capacity or delivery time, the total voltage of the RACK is different, when the total voltage difference is overlarge, circulation is formed among the RACK, the current value of the circulation is large, and after the current is larger than a certain value, the normal operation of the system is affected, and even faults are reported, so that the system cannot operate.
In order to solve the problems of the reliability and safety of the BMS system due to the circulation, the inventors found that the total pressure of the RACK can be manually adjusted to be within the allowable range of the differential pressure before the parallel connection, and then the parallel connection is performed, so that the total pressure of the RACK is consistent through the circulation.
However, this method requires manual operations and corresponding charging and discharging equipment, which increases costs and reduces reliability and accuracy.
Further, in order to solve the problem caused by manual voltage regulation, the inventor finds that the CMU can also transmit the total pressure of the CMU to the SMU through the communication link between the SMU and the CMU, the SMU gathers the total pressure of each RACK, calculates the pressure difference, judges the CMU which can be connected in parallel currently, then sends a command to the CMU through communication, and the CMU controls the on-off of the main loop relay in the RACK to realize multi-machine parallel connection.
However, this solution depends on the stability of the SMU and the communication link, and in some small BMS systems, SMU is not provided, and to implement this solution, SMU needs to be added, and the addition of SMU increases hardware cost and corresponding size.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the inventors have found that the voltage of a battery cluster and the voltage difference of parallel voltages of the already parallel battery clusters can be compared by the CMU in the battery cluster, and when the voltage difference is small, it is explained that the voltage of the battery cluster and the overall voltage of the already parallel battery cluster are small, and at this time, the CMU controls the main loop relays in the battery cluster, i.e., p+ and P-in fig. 1, so that the battery cluster is also incorporated into the already parallel battery cluster.
This approach requires only the CMU to calculate and control and does not require the SMU, so it is not dependent on stability with the SMU and the communication link, and can be applied to SMU-free systems.
Specifically, the CMU of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel acquires the voltage of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel and the parallel voltage of the battery cluster subjected to parallel operation, and judges whether the difference value of the two voltages is within a preset difference value range, if yes, it is indicated that the voltage difference between the voltage of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel and the parallel voltage of the battery cluster subjected to parallel operation is smaller, and at the moment, the preset main loop relay of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel is closed, so that the battery cluster to be connected in parallel with the battery cluster subjected to parallel operation can reduce the current value of the circulating current, and the running safety and reliability of the BMS system are improved.
Based on the foregoing, an embodiment of the present invention provides a battery cluster parallel connection method, which is applied to a CMU in a battery cluster to be connected in parallel, and referring to fig. 2, the battery cluster parallel connection method includes:
and S11, under the condition that the battery clusters to be connected in parallel successfully execute the preset parallel basic operation, acquiring the voltage of the battery clusters to be connected in parallel and the parallel voltage of the battery clusters which are connected in parallel.
In this embodiment, the battery cluster to be connected in parallel refers to a battery cluster that needs to be determined whether to perform parallel operation, such as the leftmost battery cluster in fig. 1.
It should be noted that, in a BMS system, a plurality of battery clusters are generally provided, and CMUs in each battery cluster independently determine whether parallel operation is required.
The battery clusters to be connected in parallel are provided with corresponding voltage sampling circuits, and the voltage sampling circuits can be the AD acquisition circuits. The voltage sampling circuit is used for collecting the total voltage of the battery segments of the battery cluster.
In addition, referring to fig. 3, a daisy chain communication mode is adopted between the CMU and the BMU in the battery cluster to acquire data stored in the BMU. The CMU and PCS system communicate via CAN. The AD acquisition circuit is also used for acquiring terminal voltage of the PCS system, wherein the terminal voltage is parallel voltage of the battery clusters which are subjected to parallel operation.
That is, acquiring the voltage of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel and the parallel voltage of the battery cluster that has been subjected to the parallel operation includes:
and acquiring the voltage of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel and the terminal voltage of the PCS system, which are obtained by sampling by the voltage sampling circuit of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel, and taking the terminal voltage of the PCS system as the parallel voltage.
S12, judging whether the difference value between the voltage of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel and the parallel voltage is within a preset difference value range; if yes, go to step S13.
Specifically, a difference value between the voltage of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel and the parallel voltage is calculated, and whether the difference value is within a preset difference value range is judged.
And S13, closing a preset main loop relay of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel.
When the difference value is within the preset difference value range, the difference value of the overall parallel voltage of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel and the battery cluster already connected in parallel is smaller, the battery cluster to be connected in parallel is combined, the current value of the generated circulation is smaller, and the reliability and the safety of the BMS system are not affected.
At this time, the preset main loop relay of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel, namely, the above-mentioned P+ and P-, is closed, so that the battery cluster is also incorporated into the battery cluster connected in parallel.
In another embodiment of the present invention, in the case that the difference value is not within the preset difference value range, referring to fig. 4, the method further includes:
s24, starting timing.
S25, timing a preset time interval; if yes, returning to the execution step S22; if not, continuing to time.
If the difference value is not within the preset difference value range, the voltage of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel and the parallel voltage of the battery cluster subjected to parallel operation need to be obtained continuously after a preset time interval, and the difference value is calculated continuously and whether the difference value is within the preset difference value range or not is required.
Taking the number 1-5 battery clusters as an example for illustration, it is assumed that the number 1 and the number 2 battery clusters are connected in parallel, the number 3, 4 and the number 5 battery clusters need to judge whether the battery clusters can be connected in parallel or not, and when the battery clusters can be connected in parallel, a preset main loop relay is closed to be connected in parallel with the connected battery clusters.
The battery cluster 3 acquires own voltage, such as 110V, the parallel voltage of 1 and 2 is 130V, the difference value of the two is 20V, and the 20V is larger than a preset difference value range, such as (0-18V).
And the parallel operation cannot be performed in the step 3, a preset time interval needs to be waited, and the voltage is continuously acquired and whether the voltage is in a preset difference range is judged.
It is assumed that the number 4 battery clusters are connected in parallel in a preset time interval, the voltage of the number 4 battery clusters is 120V, the parallel voltages of the numbers 1, 2 and 4 are 120V, the difference between the voltage of the number 3 and the voltage of the number 110V is 10V, and the voltage is in the range of 0-18V, and the number 3 can be connected in parallel.
In this embodiment, the waiting for the preset time interval can avoid the situation that the voltage difference is no longer preset for the difference range due to the instability of the voltage acquired last time, besides the fact that other battery clusters can be integrated within the preset time interval, which results in the fact that the battery clusters to be connected in parallel can also be integrated.
It should be noted that, in practical application, no other battery clusters may be incorporated in the preset time interval, after the preset time interval is reached, there may be a voltage of the parallel battery clusters at this time, and a difference value of parallel voltages of the battery clusters that have been subjected to parallel operation is no longer within a preset difference value range, and at this time, the next preset time interval is continued to be waited.
In addition, for the explanation of other steps in fig. 4, please refer to the corresponding explanation in the above embodiment, and the explanation is omitted here.
In this embodiment, the CMU of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel may obtain the voltage of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel and the parallel voltage of the battery cluster that has been connected in parallel, and determine whether the difference between the two voltages is within the preset difference range, if yes, it is indicated that the voltage difference between the voltage of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel and the parallel voltage of the battery cluster that has been connected in parallel is smaller, and at this time, the preset main loop relay of the battery cluster to be connected in parallel is closed, so that the battery cluster to be connected in parallel with the battery cluster that has been connected in parallel, which can reduce the current value of the circulating current and improve the safety and reliability of the operation of the BMS system. And before the combination, whether the pressure difference of the system meets the condition or not can be judged, so that the large current brought by blind parallel operation is avoided, and the stability of the system is improved.
In addition, in the invention, the parallel processing of each RACK system does not need the cooperative processing of other processors, and the parallel processing is self-adaptive, so that the interference of a system communication link is eliminated, and the system reliability is improved.
In addition, the invention does not need manual operation and corresponding charging and discharging equipment, thereby reducing the cost and improving the reliability.
The foregoing embodiment describes that the to-be-connected battery cluster needs to successfully perform the preset parallel basic operation before the voltage is acquired, and describes a specific implementation process of the to-be-connected battery cluster, and referring to fig. 5, determining that the to-be-connected battery cluster has successfully performed the preset parallel basic operation may include:
s31, determining whether other battery clusters are closed to the main loop relay in the battery cluster. If not, executing step S32; if so, step S35 is performed.
In practical applications, when there are multiple battery clusters in the BMS system, the CMU in the battery cluster is set as a master or a slave.
Wherein, the host computer and the slave computer are provided with two modes:
1. the first implementation mode:
when the CMU leaves the factory, the identification is configured in the hardware of the CMU, if the identification is configured as the host, the CMU is the host, and if the identification is configured as the slave, the CMU is the slave. The CMU may obtain the identification when powered up to determine whether it is a master or a slave.
2. The second implementation mode:
after one CMU is powered on through CAN communication, each CMU judges whether the CMU sends a message of a host or a slave from a CAN channel, if not, the CMU sends a message of 'I are host', and other CMUs receive the message.
If the CMU sends the information of 'I are the host' on the CAN channel, the CMU is automatically the slave, and determines how many slaves have sent the message from the CAN channel, wherein the slaves CAN sort themselves according to the sequence of sending the message, the first CMU sends 'I are the slaves 1', the second CMU sends 'I are the slaves 2', and so on.
In this embodiment, each CMU automatically performs sequencing of the master and the slave according to the order in which the messages are sent.
In either of the above modes, all CMUs are divided into a master and a plurality of slaves, and in practical application, the master preferably closes its own main loop relay, and then the slaves can close their own main loop relay.
Taking the above-mentioned second way of determining the master-slave machine as an example, in this embodiment, it is determined whether or not there are other battery clusters that have already closed the main loop relay in the battery cluster, that is, it is determined whether or not the master machine has already closed the main loop relay in the battery cluster, and since the master machine preferentially closes its own main loop relay, it is considered that the master machine has already closed the main loop relay as long as at least one of the main loop relays in the battery clusters is closed, and the parallel operation is performed. Whether other slaves perform the slave operation or not, the embodiment may not perform analysis.
Determining whether other battery clusters have closed the primary loop relay in the battery cluster CAN be accomplished by determining whether there is a CMU in the CAN loop that sends a message that "i are master" or "i are slaves", and if so, considering that other battery clusters have closed the primary loop relay in the battery cluster. If not, it is considered that no battery cluster has already closed the main loop relay in the battery cluster.
S32, executing a preset host self-checking operation.
In practical application, executing a preset host self-checking operation includes:
judging whether a preset fault exists, whether the PCS system connected with the CMU can normally communicate, whether a shutdown command is received or not, and whether a startup command is received or not;
