FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of some embodiments of an energy Internet system of the present disclosure. The energy Internet system includes an alternating-current (AC) side energy routing conversion device 110, a direct-current (DC) side energy routing conversion device 120, and a plurality of energy devices 130.

The AC side energy routing device 110 can convert AC voltage to DC voltage, and also can realize functions of energy information collection and information routing. The DC side energy routing device 120 can convert one DC voltage value into another DC voltage value, and realize the functions of the energy information collection and the information routing.

The AC side energy routing conversion device 110 includes a plurality of first route ports; the DC side energy routing conversion device 120 includes a plurality of second route ports; the number of the first route ports is the same as the number of second route ports; and each second route port is connected to a corresponding first route port by a corresponding DC busbar. In FIG. 1, only two first route ports and two second route ports are shown, that is, a two dimensional energy Internet system is shown. A person skilled in the art should understand that energy Internet systems of more dimensions can be provided according to actual conditions.

The energy device 130 can be an energy storage device, a power consumption device, or a power generation device, etc. The energy device 130 can be connected to the DC busbar by a corresponding first AC/DC converter or a first DC/DC converter. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, if the energy device 130 is an energy storage device, the energy device 130 can be connected to a DC busbar by a DC/DC converter. If the energy device 130 is an AC power consumption device, it is connected to DC busbar by a DC/AC converter. If energy device 130 is a DC power consumption device such as a kitchen appliance, it is connected to the DC busbar by the DC/DC converter. If the energy device 130 is a low voltage DC power consumption device such as a lighting device, the energy device 130 can be connected to the DC busbar by the DC/DC converter again to ensure the safety of low voltage DC power consumption. If the energy device 130 is a power generation device, such as a distributed wind power turbine assembly, then the energy device 130 is connected to the DC busbar through an AC/DC converter.

A masterless communication can be used for information exchange between the AC side energy routing device 110, the DC side energy routing device 120, and the plurality of energy devices 130.

In the foregoing embodiments, the AC side energy routing conversion device 110 and the DC side energy routing conversion device 120 collect energy information of each energy device 130 and adjust the energy of each energy device 130 on the basis of the energy balance constraint conditions, thereby realizing a balanced operation of the energy exchange of the energy Internet system.

In other embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, the AC side energy routing conversion device 110 further includes an AC access terminal 141 configured to access the AC distribution power grid device 140; the DC side energy routing conversion device 120 further includes a DC access terminal 151 configured to access the DC distribution power grid device 150 through a second DC/DC converter. That is, the energy Internet system of the present disclosure can operate in a grid connected mode or in an islanding mode.

In some embodiments, if the energy Internet system includes the AC distribution power grid device 140, the AC side energy routing conversion device 110 adjusts the energy of the energy device 130 and the energy of the AC distribution power grid device 140 on the basis of the energy balance constraint condition after collecting energy information of the energy device 130 and the AC distribution power grid device 140.

In other embodiments, if the energy Internet system includes the DC distribution power grid device 150, after collecting energy information of the energy device 130 and the DC distribution power grid device 150, the DC side energy routing conversion device 120 adjusts the energy of the energy device 130 and the energy of the DC distribution power grid device 150 on the basis of the energy balance constraint conditions.

FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of yet other embodiments of the energy Internet system of the present disclosure. The AC side energy routing conversion device is an AC side energy router 410; the DC side energy routing conversion device is a DC side energy router 420. From view of energy, the energy router can maintain an electrical energy supply-demand balance of the energy Internet system, thereby routing energy transmission direction autonomously, and realizing a free distribution of energy. This embodiment is illustrated by taking a three dimensional energy Internet system as an example.

Three first route ports of the AC side energy router 410 are respectively connected to three second route ports of the DC side energy router 420 by a DC busbar. If the power consumption device 430 is a DC load, the power consumption device 430 can be connected to a node α4 of the DC busbar by the DC/DC converter. If the power consumption device 430 is an AC load, the power consumption device 430 can be connected to a node α3 of the DC busbar by the DC/AC converter. The power consumption device 430 has behavior characteristics, that is, the power consumption device 430 can collect, in real time, energy parameters thereof such as voltage parameters, current parameters, power parameters, and electricity quantity parameters, as well as operation state parameters, report the parameters, and can receive the instructions issued by the system. The energy storage device 440 can be connected to a node α2 of the DC busbar by the DC/DC converter, and the power generation device 450 may be connected to a node α1 of a DC busbar by the DC/DC converter. The nodes β1, β2, β3, β4, γ1, γ2, γ3 and γ4 of the DC busbar in the figure can also be connected to a corresponding energy device, which is not shown in FIG. 4.

The AC access terminal of the AC side energy router 410 can access the AC distribution power grid device 460, and the DC side energy router 420 can access the DC distribution power grid device 470 through the DC/DC converter. The AC side energy router 410 can also be disconnected from the AC distribution power grid, and the DC side energy router 420 can be disconnected from the DC distribution power grid. That is, the multidimensional energy Internet system in this embodiment can operate in a mode of an AC and DC double-loop network system, a double-close-loop, an AC single-loop network, or a DC single-loop network.

In some embodiments, the AC side energy router 410 collects energy information of the power consumption device 430, the energy storage device 440, the power generation device 450, and the AC distribution power grid device 460, and adjusts the energy of the power consumption device 430, energy of the energy storage device 440, energy of the power generation device 450, and energy of the AC distribution power grid device 460 respectively on the basis of energy balance constraint conditions. Under the conditions that the conversion loss and other losses of the system are ignored, and that one direction of energy flow is set, an energy balance relationship should exist at the connection point of the DC busbar, and the power consumption device 430, the energy storage device 440, the power generation device 450, and the AC distribution power grid device 460 can participate in an autonomous scheduling response according to the requirement of the independent control of the AC side energy router 410.

The energy balance constraint conditions includes that the voltage parameters, the current parameters, the power parameters, and the electricity quantity parameters of the power consumption device 430, the energy storage device 440, the power generation device 450, and the AC distribution power grid device 460 are within respective threshold ranges thereof respectively, that a sum of powers of the power consumption device 430, the energy storage device 440, the power generation device 450, and the AC distribution power grid device 460 is 0, and that a sum of currents is also 0. In addition, for a three dimensional energy Internet system, both a sum of powers and a sum of currents of three DC busbars is 0.

In some embodiments, the DC side energy router 420 collects energy information of the power consumption device 430, the energy storage device 440, the power generation device 450, and the DC distribution power grid device 470, and adjusts the energy of the power consumption device 430, the energy of the energy storage device 440, the energy of the power generation device 450, and the energy of the DC distribution power grid device 470 respectively on the basis of the energy balance constraint conditions in a regulation manner similar to that of the previous embodiment.

In the embodiments above, by means of the connection relationships and the information exchange of the components in the three dimensional energy Internet system, the present invention achieves the autonomous control, stable operation and economic scheduling of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the power consumption device, and the distribution power grid device under the energy Internet system architecture.

In addition, if one dimensional energy Internet system is added to the energy Internet system of original dimensions, as the router can schedule the energy in time, each device itself can respond to the demand of power consumption, which enables the system to reach the energy balance swiftly, thereby ensuring the reliable and safe operation of the system, and reducing the circulation problem of the system.

FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating still other embodiments of the energy Internet system of the present disclosure. The embodiment is described by taking a three dimensional energy Internet system as an example. The AC side energy routing conversion device includes three third AC/DC converters 510, 511, and 512, and the DC side energy routing conversion device includes three third DC/DC converters 520, 521 and 522. A first end of the third AC/DC converter 510, a first end of the third AC/DC converter 511, and a first end of the third AC/DC converter 512 are connected to a PC node; a first end of the third DC/DC converter 520, a first end of the third second DC/DC converter 521, and a first end of the third DC/DC converter 522 are connected to a DPC node. A second end of each third AC/DC converter serves as a first route port, and a second end of each third DC/DC converter serves as a second route port. That is, the second end of the third AC/DC converter 510 is connected to the second end of the third DC/DC converter 520 by a DC busbar; the second end of the third AC/DC converter 511 is connected to the second end of the third DC/DC converter 521 by a DC busbar; and the second end of the third AC/DC converter 512 is connected to the second end of the third DC/DC converter 522 by a DC busbar. The AC distribution power grid device 460 is connected to the PC node, and the DC distribution device 470 is connected to the DPC node. The connection relationships between the power consumption device 430, the energy storage device 440, and the power generation device 450 are identical with the connection relationships shown in FIG. 4.

In this embodiment, the third AC/DC converters 510, 511, 512 and the third DC/DC converters 520, 521, 522 can monitor the operation status and energy of the components by means of their own sensors and metering elements, or by means of external additional power meters, thereby realizing an energy balance between all dimensions and between all energy devices and all distribution power grid devices.

In some embodiments, there can be a masterless communication between all converters. Because the multidimensional system adopts the networking mode of AC and DC interconnection and the masterless scheduling mode, the single dimensional systems in the system each are in an equal and parallel architecture, which facilitates the “plug and play” of the distributed system, as well as achieves a free distribution, a cooperative complementarity, and an integrated equilibrium operation of energy.

FIG. 6 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating some embodiments of the energy routing conversion device of the present disclosure. The energy routing conversion device can be the AC side energy routing conversion device or the DC side energy routing conversion device. The energy routing conversion device includes an energy collecting unit 610 and an energy distributing unit 620. The energy collecting unit 610 is electrically connected to the energy distributing unit 620. The energy collecting unit 610 can be implemented by a power meter or a sensor. The energy distributing unit 620 can be implemented by a controller. The controller can be a specific hardware device consists of a PLC, an integrated circuit, a related component, and the like.

The energy collecting unit 610 is configured to collect energy information of a plurality of energy devices. The energy information includes the voltage parameters, the current parameters, the power parameters, and the electricity quantity parameters. The energy distribution unit 620 is configured to adjust the energy of each energy device on the basis of the energy balance constraint conditions, thus realizing the energy balance between the devices.

In some embodiments, if the energy Internet system includes the distribution power grid device, the energy collecting unit 610 is configured to further collect energy information of the distribution power grid device, and the energy distribution unit 620 is configured to adjust the energy of the distribution power grid device and the energy of the energy device on the basis of the energy balance constraint conditions.

In some embodiments, for a multidimensional energy Internet system, the energy collecting unit 610 is configured to further collect energy information of each DC busbar, and the energy distribution unit 620 is configured to further adjust energy of each DC busbar on the basis of the energy balance constraint conditions, thereby realizing an energy balance between all dimensions of the energy Internet system.

In some embodiments, the energy balance constraint conditions include that the voltage parameters u, the current parameters i, the power parameters p, and electricity quantity parameters q of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the power consumption device, and the distribution power grid device are within respective threshold ranges. In other words, the power generation device, the energy storage device, the power consumption device, and the distribution power grid device in the energy Internet system operate within their own redundancy ranges respectively, as shown in the following formulas:(u,i,p,q)_{gene_min}<(u,i,p,q)_gene<(u,i,p,q)_{gene_max};(u,i,p,q)_{bat_min}<(u,i,p,q)_bat<(u,i,p,q)_{bat_max};(u,i,p,q)_{grid_min}<(u,i,p,q)_grid<(u,i,p,q)_{grid_max};(u,i,p,q)_{load_min}<(u,i,p,q)_load<(u,i,p,q)_{load_max};

Where (u, i, p, q)_gene, (u, i, p, q)_bat, (u, i, p, q)_grid, and (u, i, p, q)_load are values of the voltage parameters u, the current parameters i, the power parameters p, and the electricity quantity parameters q of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the distribution power grid device, and the power consumption device which are in stable operation states, respectively. The (u, i, p, q)_{gene_min}, (u, i, p, q)_{bat_min}, (u, i, p, q)_{grid_min}, and (u, i, p, q)_{load_min} are the minimum values of the voltage parameters u, the current parameters i, the power parameters p, and the electricity quantity parameters q of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the distribution power grid device, and the power consumption device, respectively. And the (u, i, p, q)_{gene_max}, (u, i, p, q)_{bat_max}, (u, i, p, q)_{grid_max}, and (u, i, p, q)_{load_max} are the maximum values of the voltage parameters u, the current parameters i, the power parameters p, and the electricity quantity parameters q of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the distribution power grid device, and the power consumption device, respectively.

The power parameter of the power generation device is p_gene=f(f₁(u, i, s), f₂(u, i, s) . . . ), that is, power parameter of the power generation device is related to the voltage parameter, the current parameter, and the characteristic parameter. Different types of new energy power generation devices have different characteristic parameters. For example, a photovoltaic characteristic parameter includes an illumination parameter, and the wind power characteristic parameter includes wind speed and other parameters.

The power parameter of the energy storage device is p_bat=f(u, i, T, soc, soh), that is, the power parameter of the energy storage device is related to the voltage parameter, the current parameter, the temperature parameter, and capacity parameter. As for the energy storage device, such as a battery, soc denotes the charge state of the battery with a value ranged from 0 to 1. soc=0 indicates that the battery is fully discharged, and soc=1 indicates that the battery is fully charged. soh denotes the health state of the battery, i.e., the percentage of a maximum discharge capacity to a rated capacity, which is 100% for a newly shipped battery and 0% for a scrapped battery.

The power parameter of the power consumption device is p_load=f(f₁(u, i), f₂(u, i) . . . ), that is, the power parameter of the power consumption device is related to the voltage parameter and the current parameter.

The power parameter of the distribution power grid device is p_grid=f(u, i, cos φ), that is, the power parameter of the distribution power grid device is related to the voltage parameter, the current parameter, and a power factor parameter.

For a single dimensional energy Internet system, the energy balance of the system should meet u_dc=u_{dc_ref}, where u_dc denotes a voltage of the DC busbar, and u_{dc_ref} denotes a reference voltage of the DC busbar; a sum of the power parameters p of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the distribution power grid device, and the power consumption device is 0, i.e. p_grid+p_gene+p_bat+p_load=0. Moreover, a sum of the current parameters i of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the distribution power grid device, and the power consumption device is 0, i.e. i_{grid_dc}+i_{gene_dc}+i_{bat_dc}+i_{load_dc}=0. In addition, the energy balance of the system meets u_dc=u_gene=u_bat, where u_gene denotes the voltage of the power generation device, and u_bat denotes the voltage of the energy storage device.

When the energy of the system changes, the power generation device, the energy storage device, the distribution power grid device, and the power consumption device can all participate in the energy regulation. After the energy changes, the system remains stable, that is, the energy keeps in a balance, and the voltage of the busbar keeps constant.

When the multidimensional energy Internet system is operating, if the light increases suddenly, then the power generation of the new energy will increase suddenly, and devices including the energy storage device, the distribution power grid device, and the power consumption device are all beyond their own allowable redundancy ranges. If these devices cannot consume the excess energies, then they must operate at a limited power. When operating in an islanding mode, the allowed redundancy capacity of the distribution power grid is 0. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the multidimensional system is operating, if the system α experiences the situations as described above, the excess energy can be freely distributed to the system β or the system γ to be consumed, and the plurality of systems cooperate with each other. Similarly, if the energy of a single dimensional system is insufficient, the single dimensional system can freely obtain the remaining energy of other systems connected to the busbar.

The sum of the powers of all DC busbars is 0, that is, the sum of the powers of all dimensions of energy Internet system is 0, and p_{dc_dg1}+p_{dc_dg2}+ . . . +p_{dc_dgn}=0 is satisfied, where p_{dc_dgn}=f_n(f_n(f₁(v, i, t, s), f₂(v, i, t, d) . . . ), f_n(v, i, T, soc), f_n(f₁(v, i), f₂(v, i) . . . )), and p_{dc_dgn} is a real-time function constructed according to the power generation system, the energy storage system, the power consumption system of each dimension of the energy Internet system itself, and is a direct interaction and scheduling object of the multidimensional system. Also, a sum of the currents of all DC busbars is 0, that is, the sum of the currents of all dimensions of energy Internet system is 0, and i_{dc_dg1}+i_{dc_dg2}+ . . . +i_{dc_dgn}=0 is satisfied.

Since the load of the power generation device, the load of the energy storage device, the load of the distribution power grid device and the load of the power consumption device involved in the system shall be within the their own allowable redundancy capacities, the voltage parameters u, the current parameters i, the power parameters p, and the electricity quantity parameters q of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the power consumption device, and the distribution power grid device of each dimension shall meet the following conditions:(u,i,p,q)_{gene_n_min}<(u,i,p,q)_{gene_n}<(u,i,p,q)_{gene_n_max};(u,i,p,q)_{bat_n_min}<(u,i,p,q)_{bat_n}<(u,i,p,q)_{bat_n_max};(u,i,p,q)_{grid_n_min}<(u,i,p,q)_{grid_n}<(u,i,p,q)_{grid_n_max};(u,i,p,q)_{load_n_min}<(u,i,p,q)_{load_n}<(u,i,p,q)_{load_n_max};

Where the (u, i, p, q)_{gene_n}, (u, i, p, q)_{bat_n}, (u, i, p, q)_{grid_n}, and (u, i, p, q)_{load_n} are values of the voltage parameters u, current parameters i, power parameters p, and electricity quantity parameters q of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the distribution power grid device, and the power consumption device operate stably in a same dimension, respectively. The (u, i, p, q)_{gene_n_min}, (u, i, p, q)_{bat_n_min}, (u, i, p, q)_{grid_n_min}, and (u, i, p, q)_{load_n_min} are minimum values of the voltage parameters u, the current parameters i, the power parameters p, and the electricity quantity values q of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the distribution power grid device, and the power consumption device in a same dimension, respectively. And the (u, i, p, q)_{gene_n_max}, (u, i, p, q)_{bat_n_max}, (u, i, p, q)_{grid_n_max}, and (u, i, p, q)_{load_n_max} are maximum values of the voltage parameters u, the current parameters i, the power parameters p, and the electricity quantity values q of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the distribution power grid device, and the power consumption device in a same dimension.

Moreover, the energy balance of the system should satisfy u_dc=u_{dc_ref}, where u_dc is a DC busbar voltage, and u_{dc_ref} is a DC busbar reference voltage; a sum of power parameters p of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the distribution power grid device, and the power consumption device in a same dimension is 0, i.e. p_{grid_n}+p_{gene_n}+p_{bat_n}+p_{load_n}=0. Moreover, a sum of current parameters i of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the distribution power grid device, and the power consumption device in a same dimension is 0, i.e. p_{grid_n_dc}+p_{gene_n_dc}+p_{bat_n_dc}+p_{load_n_dc}=0. In addition, the system energy balance satisfies u_dc=u_{gene_n}=u_{bat_n}, where u_{gene_n} is the voltage of the power generation device of a dimension, and u_bat is the voltage of the energy storage device of a dimension.

When the multidimensional system is operating normally, the voltage of the busbar is constant, and switching on or switching off a single dimensional system does not affect the normal operation of the multidimensional system. In the multidimensional system, the single dimensional systems each are parallel and independent individuals with autonomous control ability and communicate with one another through a masterless communication, and the energy data can be involved in a real-time control and scheduling.

In a specific embodiment, as for a single dimensional energy Internet system, the rated power of the power generation device, the rated power of the energy storage device, the rated power of the distribution power grid device, and the rated power of the power consumption device in the system can be configured to be an extreme architecture of 1:1:1:3. The details are as follows:

The power generation device is photovoltaic, and the rated power thereof is 5 kW; the rated charging and discharging power of the energy storage device is 5 kW, and the capacity is 20 kwh (discharging for 4 hours); the rated operating power of the power grid side is 5 kW; and the rated consumption power of the power consumption device is 15 kW.

The power generation device, the energy storage device, and the distribution power grid device all provide full power outputs when the energy Internet system is operating at full load. When the photovoltaic power is reduced by 3 kW, in order to satisfy the constraint condition, the power consumption device can autonomously regulate a consumption power thereof to be reduced by 3 kW so as to meet the energy balance relationship. When the power of the power consumption device is reduced by 3 kW breaking the original energy balance, the photovoltaic power generation device, the energy storage device, and the distribution power grid device are regulated autonomously according to a configuration relationship of 1:1:1 (the powers of the power generation device, the energy storage device, and the distribution power grid device are reduced by 1 kW respectively), or regulated autonomously according to a specific adjustment ratio. The extreme regulation mode is a single energy regulation, for example, when the power of the power consumption device is reduced by 3 kW, only the power of the distribution power grid device is decreased by 3 kW to achieve a regulation; if the power of the power consumption device is reduced till the output of the power grid does not meet the constraint conditions, then the energy of the electric distribution device is not regulated. In this case, configured by the system, the power of the photovoltaic power generation device is 5 kW; the power of the energy storage device is 5 kW; and the power of the electric load is 10 kW, which means that the power generation device, the energy storage device, and the power consumption device are structured in accordance with an extreme limit of 1:1:2 of an islanding mode. Similarly, in the case that the photovoltaic energy or load energy changes, the regulation is performed in accordance with a set proportion or a specific regulation manner on the basis of the described energy balance relationship.

When the energy of a component of the power generation device, the energy storage device, the power consumption device, and the distribution power grid device in the system changes, the rest components will be adjusted according to a preset regulation mode. If the energy of a plurality of components in the system changes at the same time, the regulations can be superposed according to a rule. When the system is operating in an islanding mode, (u, i, p, q)_grid=0.

As for the multidimensional energy Internet system, as shown by the three dimensional system in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the system α, the system β, and the system γ all operate normally and independently. As found from the real-time monitoring for the system, the energy of the system α is suddenly increased by 10 kW. After an internal adjustment in the system α, the devices each reach their own allowable redundancy limits, and the remaining energy of 4 kW has not been consumed yet. At this moment, the energy is scheduled to the system β and system γ for consumption, and the system β and the system γ distribute energy according to a preset scheduling method and make a regulation. For another example, the load of the system β increases suddenly during the operating of the system. If the power demand cannot be satisfied even after each device reaches the allowable redundancy limit by means of an internal adjustment in the system β, then the system α or/and the system γ are scheduled to supplement energy.

In addition, the energy Internet can also be configured with some specific operation modes or customized schedules by the management system. For example, when the system β operates at the electricity price peak, when they have surplus energy, the photovoltaic and other generation devices can be required not to charge the energy storage device, but to be connected to a grid so as to make profit; and the energy storage device is charged by the power grid device at the electricity price valley.
