Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a vehicle electrical system at high loads.
- a DC voltage converter for lithium accumulators is known from DE 10 2017 009 527 A1.
- a propulsion system for a submarine is known from DE 10 2014 109 092 A1.
- DE 10 2014 114 792 A1 discloses a method for operating a power supply system of a watercraft.
- a submarine and a method for operating a propulsion system of a submarine are known from DE 10 2017 002 113 A1.
- a device for generating electrical energy in a motor with a fuel cell is known from US Pat. No. 6,777,909 B1.
- the fuel cell When using a fuel cell and an accumulator at the same time, the situation arises that the fuel cell thus specifies the voltage as a function of the load and the accumulator is adjusted accordingly via a DC voltage converter. At high loads, this in turn means that due to the current-voltage characteristic of a fuel cell, the lowest voltage is present in the vehicle electrical system, which in turn increases the ohmic losses in the overall system.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method which optimally utilizes the energy reserves on board a submarine and thus increases the submerged range.
- the method according to the invention serves to operate an on-board network of a submarine.
- the electrical system includes the electrical connections of a submarine to which the electrical energy generators, electrical energy stores and electrical consumers are connected.
- a submarine can have more than one electrical system.
- the method according to the invention can then be applied to one, several or all vehicle electrical systems.
- the vehicle electrical system is connected to at least one first energy generator, at least one first energy store and at least one first consumer.
- the at least one first energy generator is in particular a fuel cell device.
- a submarine can also be referred to the redundancy also have two or four separate fuel cell devices, in particular structurally identical fuel cell devices.
- the at least one first energy store is preferably a rechargeable battery, particularly preferably a lithium-ion-based rechargeable battery.
- accumulator also includes larger storage devices, which consist, for example, of several strands, with each strand consisting of several modules, with each module having a large number of electrochemical cells.
- the strands can be connected to the vehicle electrical system separately from one another.
- the at least one first consumer is, for example, the traction motor.
- the at least one first energy store is connected to the vehicle electrical system via a DC-DC converter.
- the DC-DC converter is designed as described in DE 10 2017 009 527 A1.
- the DC-DC converter is controlled via a battery management system (BMS).
- BMS battery management system
- the DC-DC converter is designed to generate a variable output voltage of the energy storage device, as is the case, for example, with the DC-DC converter described in DE 10 2017 009 527 A1.
- the voltage of the vehicle electrical system is regulated depending on the load absorbed by the consumer.
- the at least one first energy generator has a current-voltage characteristic. The voltage usually drops when more power is consumed by consumers via the vehicle electrical system.
- the voltage of the vehicle electrical system is regulated according to the current-voltage characteristic of the at least one first energy generator.
- the voltage of the DC-DC converter is regulated in such a way that it is just below the voltage of the at least one first energy generator.
- the power is initially provided entirely by the at least one first energy generator, for example the fuel cell device.
- a first load limit is set.
- the load is the electrical power that is fed into the vehicle electrical system by the energy storage device or the first energy generator or by the energy storage device and the first energy generator together in order to supply the at least one first consumer.
- Load is therefore to be understood as the electrical power and thus as the product of voltage and current.
- the load limit is therefore the value of the electrical power, which through the on-board network flows.
- the first load limit is set equal to or greater than the maximum load of the first energy producer.
- the maximum load of the first energy generator is therefore the maximum electrical power that the first energy generator can deliver to the vehicle electrical system in continuous operation.
- the first load limit PGC is preferably chosen such that Pmax ⁇ PGC 2 .times.Pmax.
- the first load limit PGC SO is particularly preferably selected such that Pmax ⁇ PGC 1.5 ⁇ Pmax, the first load limit PGC SO is particularly preferably selected such that Pmax PGC ⁇ 1.2 ⁇ Pmax.
- Pmax PGC.
- the voltage is regulated independently of the current-voltage characteristic of the at least one first current generator. The effect is that above the first load limit, the vehicle electrical system is supplied with energy by the first energy store and not by the first energy generator, since the voltage of the first energy store is higher than the voltage of the first energy generator. This ensures that the voltage is not exactly in the load range in which the highest currents flow, due to the contribution of the first energy generator at the lowest level, and the voltage is therefore selected to be the lowest when the currents are highest.
- the first energy generator no longer feeds energy into the vehicle electrical system, so that the energy is only made available from the energy stores.
- the required power is made available at a higher voltage and therefore at a lower current, so that the ohmic power loss of the transmission lines within the vehicle electrical system is reduced when there is a high power requirement. This reduces both the loss of energy and the generation of heat, thus increasing the range.
- the advantage of the method according to the invention increases in a submarine.
- the higher voltage can reduce the current flowing at the same power, thus minimizing the power loss due to the ohmic resistance.
- this energy is not released into the interior of the submarine in the form of waste heat and is then released to the environment of the submarine through an appropriate air conditioning system must.
- the minimization of the ohmic losses leads to a further significant saving in the field of air conditioning. In this way, the range of the submarine can be increased.
- Voltage and current can be measured directly in the vehicle electrical system and the electrical load can thus be detected, for example corresponding detection devices can be provided at the connection of the energy generator, at the connection of the energy store and/or at the connection of the first consumer to the vehicle electrical system.
- the currents flowing between the first energy generator and the first energy store and the vehicle electrical system can also be recorded.
- the current flowing between the vehicle electrical system and the first consumer can be measured.
- it can also be the case that direct measurement of the load is difficult or too time-consuming.
- the load of the entire system can also be estimated from the load states of the consumers.
- the voltage selected above the first load limit is at the level of the maximum voltage of the vehicle electrical system.
- the maximum voltage of the vehicle electrical system results regularly from the specified voltage, taking into account the specified tolerance and the achievable tolerance. This will be briefly explained using an example. For example, a vehicle electrical system is designed for 500 V and a tolerance of ⁇ 10% is specified. The voltage may then lie within a window of 450 to 550 V. However, if the voltage can be set to ⁇ 1% via the DC converter, for example, the maximum voltage that can be set would then be around 545 ⁇ 5 V. The result for the maximum voltage is the value of the specified voltage plus the specified tolerance minus the achievable tolerance. In a further embodiment of the invention, the maximum voltage is above the no-load voltage of the first energy generator.
- the voltage is selected as a function of the load above the first load limit such that the voltage at maximum load reaches the value of the maximum voltage of the vehicle electrical system.
- the voltage is preferably adjusted proportionally to the load.
- the adjustment is particularly preferably linear between the voltage of the first energy generator at maximum load of the first energy generator up to the maximum voltage at maximum load of the first energy store.
- the adaptation can also take place in such a way that, for example, at a load which corresponds to 90% of the maximum power, the value is increased to the maximum voltage and remains constant above that. Between the first load limit and a load that corresponds to 90% of the maximum power, the voltage can be adjusted proportionally.
- the voltage above the first load limit is selected as a function of the load in such a way that the voltage at maximum load reaches the value of the maximum voltage of the vehicle electrical system, with the voltage being adjusted in stages, for example in three to five stages, to load done. If, for example, the voltage of the first energy producer were 400 V at maximum load of the first energy producer and the maximum voltage was 1000 V, then steps of 500 V, 600 V, 700 V, 800 V, 900 V and 1000 V could be selected.
- the voltage is not adjusted immediately, but with a time delay, in order to avoid constant voltage changes due to variable loads.
- a time interval for example 1 min, is defined or a moving average over this time interval is used.
- the power flowing through the vehicle electrical system is averaged over this time interval and the voltage is regulated on the basis of this averaged load.
- the voltage is preferably regulated in stages.
- the voltage is selected as a function of the load above the first load limit such that the voltage at maximum load reaches the value of the maximum voltage of the vehicle electrical system.
- the adjustment is particularly preferably linear between the voltage of the first energy generator at maximum load of the first energy generator and the maximum voltage at maximum load of the first energy store.
- the voltage is selected as a function of the load above the first load limit such that the voltage at maximum load reaches the value of the maximum voltage of the vehicle electrical system.
- the adjustment is particularly preferably linear between the voltage of the first energy generator at maximum load of the first energy generator and the maximum voltage at maximum load of the first energy store.
- the voltage is selected as a function of the load above the first load limit such that the voltage at maximum load reaches the value of the maximum voltage of the vehicle electrical system.
- the adaptation is particularly preferably linear between the voltage of the first energy generator at maximum load of the first energy generator and the maximum voltage at maximum load of the first energy store.
- the voltage is selected as a function of the load above the first load limit such that the voltage at maximum load reaches the value of the maximum voltage of the vehicle electrical system.
- the adjustment is particularly preferably linear between the voltage of the first energy generator at maximum load of the first energy generator and the maximum voltage at maximum load of the first energy store.
- the at least one first energy generator is disconnected from the vehicle electrical system above the first load limit. Theoretically, disconnection is not necessary because the voltage of the first energy generator is too low and is therefore not fed into the vehicle electrical system. However, it is advantageous to disconnect it.
- the first energy generator is a fuel cell device, it can be advantageous to switch it off or to shut it down and not to operate it in idle mode.
- the increase in vehicle electrical system voltage is limited in time. This limits the increased risk in the event of a short circuit.
- the vehicle electrical system can be connected to at least one second energy generator.
- the second energy generator is a diesel generator, with generators that are operated with other fuels also being included here. At present, methanol and ammonia in particular are being discussed and used as a substitute for diesel on ships.
- the voltage of the vehicle electrical system is selected in accordance with the current-voltage characteristic of the second energy generator.
- the second energy generator also serves in particular to charge the first energy store.
- the second energy generator is therefore usually particularly suitable for all load ranges, in particular also for the extremely high load ranges.
- the vehicle electrical system voltage U is plotted against the load P in the figures.
- the voltage will develop according to the current-voltage characteristic of the first energy generator, in particular a fuel cell device.
- the maximum load is reached at the load PGC, and the first energy generator, for example the amber cell device, cannot generate a higher output.
- the third example represents a compromise between the first two examples. This is shown in FIG. Here at PGr the voltage is already partially raised, for example to the no-load voltage of the first energy generator. From there, there is a linear increase to Umax at Pmax.
