Description
A system for management of electric energy produced by photovoltaic cells
Art Domain
The invention falls within an area of an effective use of renewable energy resources, when solar radiation is, by the help of a photovoltaic device, transformed into electric or thermal energy and it concerns lay out of a system for management of electric energy produced by photovoltaic cells, which contains mutually interconnected electronic components which enable control, use and storage of the obtained energy.
Present Prior Art
There is known whole range of systems which use energy produced by photovoltaic cells. For example in files US4873480 A, FR2485827 A1 , US4649334A are described different systems, when, by the help of mutually interconnected electronic components, is enabled control of electric energy and transmission of electric output from photovoltaic panels into an electro distribution system, to appliances or devices designed for storage of energy. There are also known autonomous energy systems, when is fully used only the energy obtained from photovoltaic panels, eventually the surplus energy is stored in accumulators or other energy store. One from the most commonly used solutions of control of electric energy is installation of an inverter into the system. The inverter converts DC current into AC current and enables consequential connection of system into the electric system, eventually the energy is consumed in an appliance, similarly like it was connected to the distribution system. There are known inverters which use, for increase of efficiency, monitoring of a point of maximal load MPPT (maxim power point tracking). The systems equipped with these inverters are able to work in an operating mode without connection to electric system, when either all produced
energy is consumed and into an outside distribution system is not supplied any load, or the obtained load is supplied into the electric system and is combined with own consumption. A disadvantage of these systems is the fact that there comes to loses on the inverters due to energy transformation.
There is known a way, from the file CZ20110582 A3, of an efficient transfer of a photovoltaic generator load into a resistance load and a device for performance of this method, where an output load of a photovoltaic generator is stored into a capacitor and this load is further transferred into a resistance load via switch of a DC/DC converter. Switching of the DC/DC converter is done by a pulse width modulation PWM which is controlled by an algorithm in dependence on height of AC voltage on the output of the photovoltaic generator, whereas an instantaneous value of the load is continuously determined. A disadvantage of this solution is an array of this system when the capacitor is basically permanently connected to the source and then the DC/DC converter is, by the help of the PWM regulation, connected to the resistance load. This is very disadvantageous from the interference point of view where on the load occurs nearly rectangular course of voltage and current given by frequency PWM and value of voltage on the capacitor respectively the load. Setting of the PWM is derivated from input voltage on the panels and the resistance load. If comes to change of resistance value the used algorithm is quite inaccurate. Moreover, this way processed energy is practically unusable otherwise than for transformation on heat in the resistance load. Last but not least there comes to high voltage stress of the capacitor, which negatively influences its lifecycle. Further disadvantage of this system is an absence of any regulation circuits which enable further use of this way obtained energy.
The water is a very suitable medium for storing of produced energy. In households are, for example, used, for preparation of service hot water, electric heaters which are based on principle of a water container and a heating unit which warms the water. In the files CZ25157 U1 , CZ22505 U1 , CZ22504 U1 , US7429719 B1 , FR2604322 A1 , are described devices which use for water heating electric
energy produced from photovoltaic panels. A disadvantage of these solutions is fact that there is not monitored the maxim power point MPPT herewith comes to significant loses with regard to the fact that the resistance of an appliance is not adjusted to resistance of a source and energy system can not use obtained load efficiently. In the file US5293447 is described a system with monitoring of maximal load, which is done by switching of a resistance load in two values, but this device does not allow running in so called autonomy mode, when only energy obtained from photovoltaic panels is used.
The aim of the presented invention is to introduce new system for management of electric energy which is produced by photovoltaic cells, which would enable efficient use of obtained electric energy especially in a DC mode, when does not come to energy loses due to transformation from DC to AC. The system is adjusted for monitoring of a point of maximal load MPPT, it is equipped with devices which are designed to use surplus energy and is procured with electronic components, which, in case of need, serve for transformation of DC to AC. The system is likewise controllable from a superior control one and it is possible to operate it in an autonomy energy mode.
Essence of the invention
The set goal is, to large extent, reached with an invention, which is a system for management of electric energy which is produced by photovoltaic cells which contains mutually interconnected an energy consumption control unit, a control unit, and a heating unit, which is procured with a temperature measuring unit and at least one heating element which is modified for heating of liquid, where the essence of the invention is in the fact that the energy consumption control unit contains a DC control unit and an AC control unit and is partly connected to a AC power supply, either directly and/or through a secondary source of AC voltage and partly is connected with a photovoltaic unit which emits direct current namely through a primary source of
DC voltage and/or through in series connected an output measuring unit of current and voltage, a DC/DC converter and an input measuring unit of current and voltage, whereas also the control unit is connected not only through a galvanic way separated secondary source of DC voltage to a photovoltaic unit, but also through a galvanic way separated primary source of AC voltage to a AC power supply.
It is advantageous when a DC control unit of the energy consumption control unit which operates in mode of direct voltage consists of a DC thermal fuse and a DC relay, which is connected to a DC temperature controller, whereas the DC thermal fuse is connected through the output measuring unit to the DC/DC converter and the DC relay is interconnected with the heating unit.
Likewise it is advantageous when the AC control unit of the energy consumption control unit which operates in mode of alternating voltage consists of an AC thermal fuse and an AC relay, which is connected to an AC temperature controller, whereas the AC thermal fuse is connected to a AC power supply an the AC relay is interconnected with the heating unit.
In an optimal case the DC thermal fuse and the AC thermal fuse of the energy consumption control unit are mutually interconnected through a control safety segment, whereas to the control safety segment are connected a temperature measuring unit, a fuse, a DC power relay and an AC power relay.
In an advantageous design the DC/DC converter is partly connected with a primary source of DC voltage, partly with the control unit and party contains mutually interconnected a primary switch and a secondary switch, whereas around the secondary switch is formed a parallel circuit with an integrated induction element, to which are parallel connected a capacitor and a load.
It is likewise advantageous when the energy consumption control unit is equipped with a charging unit which is partly formed with a charging relay and a
charging controller and partly is connected to at least one energy accumulator, whereas the energy accumulator is interconnected with an inverter, which is modified to supply energy into a grid.
In an optimal case is an additional module connected to the energy consumption control unit and at the same time also to control unit which consists of an UPS relay and to it is parallel connected an input measuring element of current and an UPS control unit, whereas the input measuring element is connected to the AC power supply and an UPS relay is interconnected with the inverter, which is, in an advantageous design, realized with an UPS type with a double conversion.
Finally it is advantageous when the control unit is procured with a detector of a smart remote control for detection of off-peak electricity and/or with a communication module for providing of communication with a superior system, whereas it is equipped with a memory medium for record of working orders of the system.
With this invention is reached, in comparison with a present prior art, higher efficiency in the fact that the system for management of electric energy which is produced by photovoltaic cells is designed for efficient use of obtained electric energy especially when the energy is used in direct current mode and by the help of the DC/DC converter is possible to monitor the point of maximal load MPPT. The system is likewise designed for use of surplus energy, when the energy is sorted into the accumulators and/or is used for liquid heat and simultaneously also for transformation of direct current which is obtained from photovoltaic panels to alternating current.

The thermal fuses 21 1 ,212 contain a control protection segment 100 which is powered from the primary source of DC voltage 6 and/or from the secondary source of AC voltage 12, whereas to the control protection segment 100 are connected a temperature measuring unit 101, a fuse 102, a DC power relay 103 and an AC power relay 104.
The direct current which is produced in the photovoltaic unit 1 partly goes into an input measuring unit 3 of the current and voltage and then into the DC/DC converter 4, partly is led through a secondary source 7 of DC voltage into the control unit 8 and partly is led through a primary source 6 of DC voltage into the energy consumption control unit 2 and also into the DC/DC converter 4. The function of the synchronic DC/DC converter 4 is that the input voltage is led through two in series connected switches 41, 42 when in case of on position of the primary switch 41 the current does not go into the secondary switch 42, but is led through a parallel circuit through the induction element 43 into the capacitor 44 and the load 45. The induction element 43 acts like an appliance and there comes to linear increase of current and grow of voltage on the capacitor 44. In case that the primary switch 41 is off there comes to simultaneous on-state of the secondary switch 42 and the induction element 43 starts to act like a source, with which corresponds turn of polarity of the voltage, when the current goes from the induction element 43 into the capacitor 44 and the load 45 and at the same time the voltage linearly decreases. This process is repeated periodically with f frequency. By the change of the period of on/off of particular switches 41,42 is possible to change voltage on the load 45 from 0 up to UFV for finding of point of maximal efficiency MPP. From the photovoltaic unit 1 is found an actual value of the current and voltage and in each moment is computed output taken from the photovoltaic unit 1, whereas is changed time of on-state of the switches 41,42_in the way for output voltage to correspond with requirements of maximal output generated by the photovoltaic unit 1. The output current from the DC/DC converter 4 is led through an output measuring unit 5 of the current and voltage into a DC control unit 21 of the energy consumption control unit 2. This way processed energy goes into the energy consumption control unit 2, whereas by the
control unit 8 is decided about further use of the energy. The primary appliance of the energy supplied either from the photovoltaic unit 1 or from the AC power supply unit 10 is a heating unit 9, whereas for separation of direct and alternating current is carried out galvanic separation in the secondary source 7 of DC voltage and also in the primary source H of AC voltage and also in the energy consumption control unit 2, when the DC control unit 21 and the AC control unit 22 are equipped with a DC relay 212 and an AC relay 222, which ensure voltage strength of contacts. Temperature controllers 213,223 in the control units 21,22 enable that when is the temperature in the heating unit 9 under the value set by user the AC relay is switched on and into a heating element 92 is led energy from the AC power supply unit 10. When is switched on the DC relay 212 so is into the heating element 92 led energy form the photovoltaic unit ;L User this way uses energy from the AC power supply unit 10 for heating of water in case that the energy from the sun is not sufficient or is by a detector of smart remote control determined low tariff of electric energy. If the temperature in the heating unit 9 reaches required value, the heating from the AC power supply unit 10 is terminated and energy obtained from the photovoltaic unit 1 is directed to another use. Energy obtained either from the photovoltaic unit 1 or from the AC power supply unit 10 can be led in the energy consumption control unit into a charging unit 23 and/or directed into an additional module 14- In the charging unit 23 is energy led into a charging relay 231 which is controlled by a charging controller 232. whereas the charging relay 231 charges a connected accumulator 13 in the form of various types of batteries, when the accumulator 13 serves as an intermediate circuit for energy supply into an inverter 15 and further into a grid 16. In the additional module 14 is energy led through an input measuring element 142 of the current and an UPS relay 141 and then continues into the inverter 15, whereas the UPS relay 141 is controlled by an UPS control unit 143. The additional module 14 enables charging of the accumulator 13 with use of the DC/DC converter 4 and herewith obtaining an advantage of the photovoltaic unit 1 use in MPP. Next function of the additional module 14 is monitoring of the current which goes through one phase and switching of the inverter 15 in case of exceeding of set load for switching, and herewith comes to elimination of load losses in the inverter 15. The inverter 15 in
th is case is realized by the type UPS with double conversion. The system thus enables back up of one phase by the help of UPS and control of energy flow, when power supply of all components of the system is doubled. All control of the system is done by the control unit 8 which transfers and evaluates information form the DC/DC converter 4, from the energy consumption control unit 2, from the additional module 14 and from the detector 17 of smart remote control.
