Abstract

A direct current bus control system including a direct current bus connecting between an input power supply and a load, including a main stabilizing device including a first charge-&-discharge element and a first power converter, and at least one sub-stabilizing device including a second charge-&-discharge element, a charge element, or a discharge element, and including a second power converter, wherein the first power converter is configured to derive a bus voltage target value according to a power storage amount index of the first charge-&-discharge element, and to bidirectionally pass direct current power, so that the voltage of the direct current bus matches the bus voltage target value, and the second power converter is configured to derive a current target value, and to pass direct current power, so that a current equal to the current target value flows.

Claims (19)

1. A direct current bus control system for controlling a power fluctuation of a direct current bus connecting between an input power supply and a load, the direct current bus control system comprising:

a main stabilizing device including a first charge-&-discharge element and a first power converter; and

at least one sub-stabilizing device including a second charge-&-discharge element, a charge element, or a discharge element, and including a second power converter,

wherein the first power converter is configured to derive a bus voltage target value according to a power storage amount index of the first charge-&-discharge element, and to bidirectionally pass direct current power between the first charge-&-discharge element and the direct current bus, so that the voltage of the direct current bus matches the bus voltage target value, and

the second power converter is configured to derive a current target value according to a difference between: a threshold value of charge or discharge of the second charge-&-discharge element, the charge element, or the discharge element; and the voltage of the direct current bus, and is configured to pass direct current power between: the second charge-&-discharge element, the charge element, or the discharge element; and the direct current bus, so that a current equal to the current target value flows to or from the second charge-&-discharge element, the charge element, or the discharge element.

2. The direct current bus control system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one sub-stabilizing device comprises a plurality of sub-stabilizing devices, and

the plurality of sub-stabilizing devices includes at least one of a sub-stabilizing device having the charge element and a sub-stabilizing device having the discharge element.

3. The direct current bus control system according to claim 1 , wherein the first power converter is configured to determine the bus voltage target value within a predetermined permissible range of the voltage of the direct current bus.

4. The direct current bus control system according to claim 1 , wherein the first power converter includes a first DC-DC converter, and is configured to control the first DC-DC converter based on a result obtained by comparing the voltage of the direct current bus with a charge-&-discharge threshold value of the first charge-&-discharge element connected to the first power converter.

5. The direct current bus control system according to claim 4 , further comprising a monitoring-&-instruction device capable of sending and receiving an operation instruction and state information about the main stabilizing device and the sub-stabilizing device,

wherein the monitoring-&-instruction device is configured to transmit the charge-&-discharge threshold value to the first power converter.

6. The direct current bus control system according to claim 1 , wherein the second power converter includes a second DC-DC converter, and is configured to control the second DC-DC converter based on a result obtained by comparing a charge threshold value of the second charge-&-discharge element or the charge element or a discharge threshold value of the second charge-&-discharge element or the discharge element with the voltage of the direct current bus.

7. The direct current bus control system according to claim 6 , further comprising a monitoring-&-instruction device capable of sending and receiving an operation instruction and state information about the main stabilizing device and the sub-stabilizing device,

wherein the monitoring-&-instruction device is configured to transmit the charge threshold value or the discharge threshold value to the second power converter.

8. The direct current bus control system according to claim 1 , wherein as the power storage amount index increases, the bus voltage target value increases accordingly.

9. The direct current bus control system according to claim 1 , wherein the power storage amount index is a state of charge of the first charge-&-discharge element.

10. The direct current bus control system according to claim 1 , wherein as a difference between the threshold value and the voltage of the direct current bus increases, the second power converter increases a charge-&-discharge current of the second charge-&-discharge element, the charge element, or the discharge element, accordingly.

11. The direct current bus control system according to claim 1 , further comprising a renewable energy power supply system as the input power supply.

12. The direct current bus control system according to claim 11 , further comprising the load.
