Abstract

The invention provides an apparatus and a method for managing an energy storage power station. The apparatus includes: a first main control module communicatively connected with a battery cluster management unit (BCMU) for collecting battery information of the first priority in an energy storage power station system, and performing protection and control on the energy storage power station system according to the battery information of the first priority; and a second main control module communicatively connected with the first main control module and the BCMU, respectively, for collecting battery information of the second priority in the energy storage power station system. The second main control module operably transmits the collected battery information of the second priority to the first main control module. The first main control module operably manages the battery information of the first priority and the battery information of the second priority in a unified manner.

Claims (21)

1 . An apparatus for managing an energy storage power station, comprising:

a first main control module communicatively connected with a battery cluster management unit (BCMU), and used to collect battery information of a first priority in an energy storage power station system, and perform protection and control on the energy storage power station system according to the battery information of the first priority; and

a second main control module communicatively connected with the first main control module and the BCMU, and used to collect battery information of a second priority in the energy storage power station system, wherein the first priority is higher than said second priority;

wherein the second main control module operably transmits the collected battery information of the second priority to the first main control module, and the first main control module operably manages the battery information of the first priority and the battery information of the second priority in a unified manner; wherein the battery information of the first priority is transmitted to the first main control module through a first CAN channel, and the battery information of the second priority is transmitted to the second main control module through a second CAN channel; wherein the second CAN channel includes at least two CAN channels for parallel transmission, and different second CAN channels correspond to different battery management units, and are used to transmit the battery information of the second priority of each battery management unit in parallel;

wherein the battery information of the first priority includes summary information of the battery cluster, fault information and protection action information of the battery management unit and the battery cluster management unit; and the battery information of the second priority includes battery voltage information, temperature information and balance information;

wherein the first main control module is an ARM module, connected with the battery cluster management units through the CAN communications;

wherein the second main control module is an FPGA module, connected with the bus of the first main control module, and connected with the battery cluster management units through the CAN communications; and

wherein the first main control module operably uploads the battery information of the first priority and the battery information of the second priority to an energy management system (EMS) through Ethernet.

2 . The apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the energy storage power station system includes a high voltage box relay and an external protection device; and

wherein the first main control module operably controls the high voltage box relay and/or the external protection device according to the battery information of the first priority.

3 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the BCMU is communicatively connected with at least two battery management units, and the battery management units operably upload the battery information of the first priority and the battery information of the second priority to the BCMU, wherein all battery management units form a battery cluster.

4 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second main control module further collects the battery information of the first priority in the energy storage power station system, and transmits the collected battery information of the first priority to the first main control module.

5 . A method for managing an energy storage power station, comprising:

using a first main control module to collect battery information of a first priority in an energy storage power station system, and performing protection and control on the energy storage power station system according to the battery information of the first priority; the first main control module being communicatively connected with a battery cluster management unit (BCMU);

using a second main control module to collect battery information of a second priority in the energy storage power station system; wherein the first priority is higher than the second priority; wherein the second main control module is communicatively connected with the first main control module and the BCMU; and

transmitting, by the second main control module, the battery information of the second priority to the first main control module, and managing, by the first main control module, the battery information of the first priority and the battery information of the second priority in a unified manner, wherein the battery information of the first priority is transmitted to the first main control module through a first CAN channel, and the battery information of the second priority is transmitted to the second main control module through a second CAN channel; wherein the second CAN channel includes at least two CAN channels for parallel transmission, and different second CAN channels correspond to different battery management units, and are used to transmit the battery information of the second priority of each battery management unit in parallel

wherein the battery information of the first priority includes summary information of the battery cluster, fault information and protection action information of the battery management unit and the battery cluster management unit; and the battery information of the second priority includes battery voltage information, temperature information and balance information;

wherein the first main control module is an ARM module, connected with the battery cluster management units through the CAN communications;

wherein the second main control module is an FPGA module, connected with the bus of the first main control module, and connected with the battery cluster management units through the CAN communications; and

wherein the first main control module operably uploads the battery information of the first priority and the battery information of the second priority to an energy management system (EMS) through Ethernet.
