1 is a view for explaining a power generation system.

Referring to FIG. 1, the power generation system 100 includes a hybrid charging control device 110, a conversion module 120, a load 130, and a battery 140.

The hybrid charging control device 110 controls the power generation system 100. For example, the hybrid charging control device 110 may monitor the amount of power generation of the conversion module 120. In addition, the hybrid charge control device 110 may charge the battery 140 with the electrical energy (or power) generated by the conversion module 120. In addition, the hybrid charge control device 110 may allow the battery 140 to supply electrical energy (or power) to the load 130.

The conversion module 120 converts renewable energy into electrical energy. In other words, the conversion module 120 performs power generation based on renewable energy. In other words, the conversion module 120 generates power based on the renewable energy. In one example, the conversion module 120 may include one or more photovoltaic modules, which may convert solar energy into electrical energy. In another example, the conversion module 120 may include one or more wind turbines (or wind power generation modules), which may convert wind energy into electrical energy. As another example, the conversion module 120 may include one or more solar modules and one or more wind turbines. In this case, the conversion module 120 may convert both solar energy and wind energy into electrical energy.

The load 130 is supplied with electrical energy. The load 130 may include, for example, a light bulb, a light emitting diode (LED) device, high-performance measuring equipment, an electronic device (eg, a CCTV, an LED sign, an LED sign, etc.), and the like.

The battery 140 is charged with electrical energy (or power) generated by the conversion module 120. In addition, the battery 140 supplies electrical energy (or electric power) to the hybrid charging control device 110 and the load 130. Accordingly, the hybrid charge control device 110 may perform one or more operations or functions with the supplied electrical energy and the load 130 may also perform its function.

In some cases, power supply to the hybrid charging control device 110 may be stopped. In other words, when the battery 140 is discharged and the power supply to the hybrid charging control device 110 is stopped or the voltage of the battery 140 is lower than the threshold voltage, the power supply to the hybrid charging control device 110 may be stopped. . According to an embodiment, the hybrid charge control device 110 may include a small battery, and when the small battery is discharged as well as the battery 140, the power supply to the hybrid charge control device 110 may be stopped. When the hybrid charge control device 110 is less than or equal to a certain voltage (which may be expressed differently as a threshold voltage, may be set by an administrator, and may be changeable), the current time, location, solar module state, power generation data state, Stores battery status, load status, etc., and powers off (or turns off).

If a predetermined level or more power is supplied after the hybrid charging control device 110 is powered off, the hybrid charging control device 110 is powered on (or turned on). At this time, the time information of the hybrid charging control device 110 is initialized. As a result, a mismatch occurs between the power on time point of the hybrid charging control device 110 and the time information of the hybrid charging control device 110. For example, when the hybrid charging control device 110 is powered on at 7 am after being powered off, no time information is set in the time information of the hybrid charging control device 110 due to initialization, or may correspond to zero. Can be. However, the power on time point of the hybrid charge control device 110 is 7:00 am, and the power on time point of the hybrid charge control device 110 does not match the time information of the hybrid charge control device 110.

When the hybrid charging control device 110 monitors the amount of power generated in a situation where such a mismatch occurs, the amount of power generated according to the initialized time information is generated, not the amount of generated power according to the actual time. In the above example, it is assumed that the time information of the hybrid charging control device 110 is initialized to 0 when the hybrid charging control device 110 is powered on at 7 am after being powered off. In this case, the time in the hybrid charging control device 110 starts from 0 am. Even if the conversion module 120 starts generating electric energy at 7 am, the hybrid charging control device 110 cannot record that the conversion module 120 has generated electric energy at 7 am, and starts at 0 am. Can be recorded as generated. Due to the above inconsistency, the generation amount information generated after the power on of the hybrid charging control device 110 is not significant and the accuracy of the generation amount information is reduced.

In addition, the hybrid charging control device 110 may not accurately control the load 130 due to the above-described inconsistency. For example, it is assumed that the hybrid charging control device 110 is set to turn on the LED light corresponding to the load 130 at 7 pm. In fact, even when it is 7 pm, since the time information of the hybrid charging control device 110 is not 7 pm due to the inconsistency described above, the LED light may not be turned on.

The hybrid charging control device according to an embodiment may solve the above-described inconsistency. Hereinafter, a hybrid charging control device according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 3.

2 to 3 are views for explaining a hybrid charging control device according to an embodiment.

The hybrid charging control device 200 to be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 3 may perform an operation or function of the hybrid charging control device 110 described with reference to FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 2, the hybrid charging control device 200 includes a communication unit 210 and a control unit 220.

The communication unit 210 communicates with an external device under the control of the control unit 220. In one example, the communication unit 210 may communicate with an external device by at least one of wireless communication (eg, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, etc.), RF communication, and wired communication. The communication of the hybrid charging control device 200 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 4 to 5.

The controller 220 receives GPS information by driving a global positioning system (GPS) receiver when power is supplied to the hybrid charging control device 200 and turned on. For example, the controller 220 receives the GPS information by driving the GPS receiver when the hybrid charge control device 110 is powered off and then powered on by a predetermined level.

As described with reference to FIG. 1, when the hybrid charge control device 200 is turned on, time information of the hybrid charge control device 110 is initialized.

The GPS receiver receives GPS information from one or more satellites and derives time and location information from the received GPS information. The GPS receiver transmits the derived time and location information to the controller 220. The GPS receiver may be included in the hybrid charging control device 200. In other words, the GPS receiver, the communication unit 210 and the control unit 220 may be implemented in a single housing. According to an embodiment, the GPS receiver may be located outside the hybrid charging control device 200.

The controller 220 sets a time of the hybrid charging control device 110 based on the derived time information. For example, when the hybrid charging control device 110 is turned on at the current time 7:00 am and the time information derived from the GPS information is close to 7:00 am or 7:00 am, the controller 220 sets the time at which it was initialized at 7:00 am Alternatively, it can be set to a time close to 7:00 AM. Thus, the time information that has been initialized of the hybrid charging control device 110 may coincide with a power on time point of the hybrid charging control device 110. In other words, time synchronization may be achieved between the current time and the time information of the hybrid charging control device 110. In addition, the controller 220 sets the position of the hybrid charging control device 110 based on the derived position information.

The control unit 220 monitors the amount of generation of renewable energy based on the set time. In other words, the controller 220 may monitor the amount of power generation of the conversion module 120 according to a time based on GPS information rather than an initialized time. Thus, the controller 220 may generate power generation information corresponding to the current time.

In an embodiment, the controller 220 may display the generation amount information on the display. For example, the controller 220 may display at least one of the daily generation amount and the accumulated generation amount of the conversion module 120 on the display. The cumulative generation amount represents, for example, the generation amount of the conversion module 120 from a specific point in the past to the present.

The controller 220 transmits at least one of power generation amount information, state information of the battery 140, and state information of a load to the external device through the communication unit 210. The state information of the battery 140 may include, for example, at least one of a voltage, a current, and a charge amount of the battery 140. The communication will be described later with reference to FIGS. 4 to 5.

Referring to FIG. 3, the hybrid charging control device 200 includes a communication unit 210, a controller 220, a GPS receiver 310, a memory 320, a display 330, and a protection circuit 340.

Since the GPS receiver 310 corresponds to the GPS receiver described with reference to FIG. 2, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The GPS receiver 310 may be driven every predetermined period (eg, 12 hours or 24 hours) to receive GPS information, and the controller 220 may hybrid-charge based on time information derived from the GPS information at regular intervals. The time of the control device 200 may be set or corrected. The controller 220 may set or correct the location of the hybrid charging control device 200 based on the location information derived from the GPS information at regular intervals.

The controller 220 displays the above-described power generation amount information on the display 330. In addition, the controller 220 displays the state information of the battery 140 on the display 330.

The controller 220 stores the above-described generation amount information and operation setting information (for example, a turn on time and a turn off time of the LED light) in the memory 320. In addition, the controller 220 may update the accumulated generation amount information by adding the generation amount information after a predetermined time and the accumulated generation amount information stored in the memory 320 based on the GPS information. For example, if the supply voltage or the voltage of the battery 140 is less than the predetermined voltage before the hybrid charge control device 200 is powered off, the controller 220 may store the accumulated power generation information of the conversion module 120 in the memory 320. Can be stored. When the hybrid charging control device 200 is powered off by being supplied with a predetermined level or more power after being turned off, as described above, the time of the hybrid charging control device 200 is initialized and the controller 220 uses the GPS information to initialize the time. Can be set as a basis. The controller 220 may update the accumulated generation amount information of the conversion module 120 by adding the generation amount information of the conversion module 120 and the accumulated generation amount information stored in the memory 320 after the set time. In other words, the controller 220 may update the accumulated generation amount information stored in the memory 320 based on the generation amount information of the conversion module 120 after the set time. According to an embodiment, the controller 220 may transmit the updated accumulated power generation information to the external device through the communication unit 210. In addition, the controller 220 may display the updated accumulated power generation information on the display 330.

The protection circuit 340 prevents voltage and current above a threshold from being applied from the battery 140 to the load 130. For example, when the voltage applied to the battery 140 is greater than or equal to the threshold voltage value, the protection circuit 340 may generate a switching signal having the same level as the power supply voltage by distributing the corresponding voltage, and the current applied to the battery 140. Is greater than or equal to the threshold current value, the switching element (eg, bimetal) may be opened to prevent overcurrent from flowing in the load 130.

The power generation system including the hybrid charging control device 200, the conversion module 120, the load 130, and the battery 140 according to an embodiment may be a street light (eg, an LED street light), a park light, a security light, It can be applied to a platform, signage (eg LED signage), CCTV power supply, landscaping system, guidance signs (eg LED guidance signage).

10 is a flowchart illustrating an operating method of a hybrid charging control device according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 10, when power is supplied to the hybrid charging control device 200 and turned on, the hybrid charging control device 200 receives a GPS information by driving a GPS receiver (1010).

The hybrid charging control device 200 derives time and location information based on the received GPS information (1020).

The hybrid charging control device 200 sets the time and location of the hybrid charging control device 200 based on the derived time and position information (1030).

The hybrid charging control device 200 monitors the generation amount of renewable energy based on the set time (1040).

The hybrid charging control device 200 transmits power generation information generated based on the monitoring to the external device (1050).

When the hybrid charging control device 610 includes a GPS receiver, the above-described steps 1010 to 1050 may be executed. In addition, the main hybrid charging control device 810 may execute steps 1010 to 1050 described above.

In the conventional hybrid charging control device, if the power is reapplied after operation stops due to battery discharge or long-term power cut-off (including battery discharge inside the control device), the above-mentioned inconsistency occurs, and the human And material waste may occur. For example, in a public utility or apartment complex with 50 solar street lamps, if the hybrid charging control device inside each solar street lamp is powered off and the above-mentioned inconsistency occurs, the administrator may directly set the time of the hybrid charging control device. Must be set to time. As a result, human waste and physical waste may occur, and accurate monitoring is difficult.

In one embodiment, the hybrid charge control device automatically stores existing settings (eg, turn-on time and turn-off time of a street lamp according to season) or power generation information when the voltage of the battery is lower than a predetermined voltage. In one embodiment, the hybrid charging control device may recognize the current time and location by automatically driving the GPS receiver when the power is supplied again after the power is turned off. In this way, time synchronization and location synchronization may occur. The hybrid charging control device of an embodiment may read the last stored setting and generation amount information (daily generation amount, accumulated generation amount, etc.). In addition, the hybrid charge control apparatus of an embodiment may integrate the generation amount information read into the generation amount information after the power is re-supplied, thereby performing efficient management and accurate generation amount monitoring.
