In this embodiment, for battery pack B requiring large current charging and discharging, a plurality of DC/DC converters may be connected in parallel to connect battery pack B to DC bus 30, that is, to connect first DC/DC converter 40. On the other hand, for battery pack B that is not required to perform large-current charging and discharging, it is possible to connect battery pack B to DC bus 30, i.e., the connection of second DC/DC converter 50, in such a manner that a single DC/DC converter is directly connected.

In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the DC/DC converter may include a DC/DC main circuit 41, a voltage/current sampling circuit 42, a driving circuit 43, and a control circuit 44. The DC/DC main circuit 41 can be configured to perform DC-to-DC (direct current-to-direct current) operation, and has a first end connected to the positive phase line of the DC bus 30, a second end connected to the negative phase line of the DC bus 30, a third end connected to the positive electrode of the battery B, and a fourth end connected to the negative electrode of the battery B.

One end of the PWM modulation module 44F may be connected to the current loop 44E, and the other end may be connected to the driving circuit 43, for performing a modulation operation of the PWM signal.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned modular battery charging and discharging test device can work in various ways known to those skilled in the art. The present invention also provides a method for controlling the charging and discharging of a modular battery, the method being used for controlling the testing device as described in any of the above embodiments. As shown in fig. 4, the control method may include:

in step S10, the upper computer acquires a voltage value or an SOC value of each battery pack through the first DC/DC converter 40 or the second DC/DC converter 50;

in step S11, battery B is divided into a charging bank and a discharging bank according to the magnitude relationship of the voltage value or the SOC value. Specifically, in this embodiment, the battery packs B may be arranged in order of, for example, a voltage value from large to small, and then the first half of the battery packs B may be selected as the discharge pack, and the remaining battery packs B may be selected as the charge pack. In addition, when the number of battery packs B is odd, battery packs B positioned in the middle may be directly placed in the discharging bank or the charging bank.

In step S12, a charge command is executed for battery pack B of the charge group, and a discharge command is executed for battery pack B of the discharge group. In this embodiment, the charge command or the discharge command may be in various forms known to those skilled in the art. In one example of the present invention, the charging instruction may be, for example, as shown in fig. 5. In fig. 5, the charging instruction may include:

in step S20, a master-slave droop control method is used to select one first DC/DC converter 40 or one group of second DC/DC converters 50 as the master DC/DC converter through a contention mechanism.

In step S20, main DC/DC converter 40 measures the voltage of battery pack B.

In step S21, it is determined whether battery pack B is in a full charge state based on the detected voltage.

In step S22, when it is determined that battery pack B is not in a fully charged state, the current charging mode is determined based on the detected voltage. In this embodiment, the fact that battery pack B is not in a fully charged state means that a charge command can be executed at this time, and therefore the current charging mode can be further determined based on the voltage of battery pack B. Wherein the specific manner of determining the pattern can be in a variety of forms known to those skilled in the art. Taking a conventional operation in the prior art as an example, the specific manner may be, for example, presetting a threshold voltage, and when the voltage of the battery pack B is lower than the threshold voltage, entering a constant current mode, so that the voltage of the battery pack B is raised; when the voltage of the battery pack B is higher than the threshold voltage, a constant voltage mode is entered, so that the voltage of the battery pack B is kept constant. However, the voltage collected by the current-voltage sampling circuit has a certain error, and the voltage value fed back finally is a fluctuation value. This voltage, if fluctuating around the threshold voltage, can cause the test device to switch repeatedly between constant voltage and constant current modes, causing the test device to malfunction. Therefore, in a preferred example of the present invention, the specific manner may also be, for example, presetting the first preset value V1 and the second preset value V2, wherein the first preset value V1 is greater than the second preset value V2. Entering a constant voltage mode in case the voltage is greater than a first preset value V1; when the voltage is smaller than the second preset value V2, the constant current mode is entered, and the schematic diagram is shown in fig. 6, so that the problem of repeated switching of the two modes due to voltage fluctuation can be well avoided.

In step S23, when the charging mode is the constant voltage mode, a standby command is transmitted to the remaining DC/DC converters (the first DC/DC converter 40 or the second DC/DC converter 50), and the main DC/DC converter executes a program corresponding to the constant voltage mode. In this embodiment, the program corresponding to the constant voltage mode may be in various forms known to those skilled in the art. In addition, in controlling the test apparatus to execute the procedure of the constant voltage mode, it may be that the mode switching switch 44G is controlled to connect the voltage ring 44D to the current ring 44E, so that the voltage ring 44D and the current ring 44E can cooperate to complete the charging operation in the constant voltage mode.

In step S24, in the case where the charging mode is the constant current mode, the number of DC/DC converters that need to participate in the operation is calculated. In this embodiment, the specific manner of calculating the number of DC/DC converters 40 that need to participate in the constant current mode may be in various forms known to those skilled in the art. Taking a conventional calculation manner in the prior art as an example, the specific manner may be, for example, directly and randomly selecting a plurality of DC/DC converters 40. In a preferred example of the present invention, it is considered that there is a maximum current that can be loaded for each DC/DC converter, in consideration of the technical requirements of energy saving and high efficiency of the equipment. Then, the specific way may be to calculate the number according to formula (1),

wherein n is the number, I_refTo perform the procedure of the constant current mode, discharge current, I, of battery B_rateIs the maximum current that the DC/DC converter can load. Further, when the calculated number of the DC/DC converters is larger than the number of the test apparatuses actually existing, it indicates that the charging command cannot be completed, and the operation can be stopped immediately, thereby avoiding damage to the DC/DC converters.

In step S25, the calculated number of DC/DC converters is selected as the DC/DC converters participating in the operation. In this embodiment, the program corresponding to the constant current mode may be in various forms known to those skilled in the art. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the program of the constant current mode is executed by the test device under control, the control mode switch 44G may connect the droop control module 44C to the current loop 44E, so that the secondary current adjusting circuit 44B, the droop control module 44C, and the current loop 44E can work cooperatively to complete the charging operation in the constant current mode. When the droop control module 44C and the secondary current adjustment circuit 44B operate, the droop control module 44C changes the slope of the external characteristic of the DC/DC converter corresponding to the battery pack B, thereby equalizing the load current. Specifically, the external characteristics of the single DC/DC converter can be expressed by equation (2),

U＝Uo-MI，(2)

wherein, U is the output voltage of the single DC/DC converter, Uo is the output voltage of the single DC/DC converter during no-load, M is the droop coefficient, and I is the current output by the single DC/DC converter. The control schematic diagram may be as shown in fig. 7. In the secondary current adjusting circuit 44B, during operation, a difference (Δ I) between the actual current and the set current may be calculated by trial, an adjustment amount required for the voltage reference value to maintain the current constant is calculated by the droop coefficient, and the voltage reference value (Uo + Δ U) in the droop control is adjusted, so that the current is maintained constant. The schematic diagram is shown in fig. 8.

In step S26, an operation command is sent to the DC/DC converters involved in the operation to execute the program corresponding to the constant current mode, and a standby command is sent to the remaining DC/DC converters.

Similarly, for the discharge instruction, the steps shown in fig. 9, for example, may be included. In fig. 9, the discharge command may include:

in step S30, a master-slave droop control method is used to select one of the first DC/DC converter 40 or the second DC/DC converter 50 as the master DC/DC converter through a contention mechanism.

In step S31, the main DC/DC converter measures the voltage of the battery pack.

In step S32, it is determined whether the discharge command is completed based on the measured voltage;

in step S33, in the case where the discharge command is not completed, the number of DC/DC converters that need to participate in the operation is calculated. In this embodiment, the specific manner of calculating the number of DC/DC converters that need to participate in the operation may be in various forms known to those skilled in the art. Taking a conventional calculation manner in the prior art as an example, the specific manner may be, for example, directly and randomly selecting a plurality of DC/DC converters. In a preferred example of the present invention, it is considered that there is a maximum current that can be loaded for each DC/DC converter, in consideration of the technical requirements of energy saving and high efficiency of the equipment. Then, the specific way may be to calculate the number according to formula (1),

In step S34, the calculated number of DC/DC converters 40 is selected as the DC/DC converters participating in the operation. In this embodiment, the program corresponding to the discharge command may be in various forms known to those skilled in the art. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the program of the constant current mode is executed by the testing device under control, it may be that the control mode switch 44G connects the droop control module 44C to the current loop 44E, so that the secondary current adjusting circuit 44B, the droop control module 44C and the current loop 44E can work in cooperation to complete the discharging operation under the discharging instruction. When the droop control module 44C and the secondary current adjustment circuit 44B operate, the droop control module 44C changes the slope of the external characteristic of the DC/DC converter corresponding to the battery pack B, thereby equalizing the load current. Specifically, the external characteristics of the single DC/DC converter 40 can be expressed by equation (2),

U＝Uo-MI，(2)

where U is the output voltage of the single DC/DC converter 40, Uo is the output voltage of the single DC/DC converter 40 during no-load, M is the droop coefficient, and I is the current output by the single DC/DC converter 40. The control schematic diagram may be as shown in fig. 7. In the secondary current adjusting circuit 44B, during operation, a difference (Δ I) between the actual current and the set current may be calculated by trial, an adjustment amount required for the voltage reference value to maintain the current constant is calculated by the droop coefficient, and the voltage reference value (Uo + Δ U) in the droop control is adjusted, so that the current is maintained constant. The schematic diagram is shown in fig. 8.

In step S35, an operation command is sent to the DC/DC converters participating in the operation to execute a program corresponding to the discharge command, and a standby command is sent to the remaining DC/DC converters.

In step S13, determining the order of completion of the charging command and the discharging command;

in step S14, in the case where the charging command is completed first, the ac-side transformer 10 and the bidirectional DC/DC converter are controlled to feed back electric power to the external ac grid;

in step S15, when the discharge command is completed first, the ac-side transformer 10 and the bidirectional DC/DC converter are controlled to obtain electric power from the external ac power grid.

In this embodiment, in the prior art, the battery pack B is charged and discharged directly or consumed directly by a discharge resistor, which results in a large amount of power waste during the test. For the technical problem, in the case that the electric quantity is excessive, the electric power is fed back to the external ac power grid in the steps S14 to S15, and in the case that the electric quantity is insufficient, the electric power is obtained from the external ac power grid, so that the waste of the electric power is well avoided, and the energy is saved.
