Background
Distributed power is applied more and more widely, and for example, a solar power generation system starts to gradually enter a family, and becomes an important function mode of an area with sufficient sunlight. When the solar power generation system is used as a distributed power system, the solar power generation system generally comprises a solar cell panel, a storage battery pack, a power utilization load and the like, and when the storage battery pack is charged, the battery is damaged by overcharge and overdischarge, so that the economic burden on the distributed power system is obviously increased, and the battery is changed more frequently.
Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the overcharge and overdischarge conditions, for example, a threshold is set to stop charging and discharging, the setting of the threshold is sometimes not completely accurate in practice, for example, when the threshold is reached, the use plan of the electrical appliance is such that the charging is only temporarily near the threshold, so that the charging does not need to be stopped, because the short slight exceeding of the threshold does not affect the service life of the battery, and the stopping of the charging affects the charging time length of the battery, so that the power supply of the electrical appliance cannot be guaranteed. For example, if an air conditioner needs to be opened all night, if the battery cannot guarantee the power supply of the air conditioner, especially when the distributed system is an island system, the power utilization of the air conditioner cannot be continued until the day of the next day is sufficient. Resulting in an extreme degradation of the user experience.
Similarly, there is a similar situation when discharging, and when discharging to the threshold value, the power utilization plan of the electric appliance and the duration of sunshine can ensure that the electric appliance is only temporarily near the threshold value, and the discharging can be not stopped, thereby ensuring the continuous use of the electric appliance.
Based on the above thought, the applicant proposes a technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problem or to achieve the above technical idea.

Detailed Description
The first embodiment.
The invention provides a solar power generation system, which is used as a distributed power system in an island form and is provided for users, namely, the users can be far away from commercial power or can not be networked with the commercial power, and the solar power generation system comprises: at least one solar panel, a battery pack connected to the at least one solar panel, one or more electrical appliances connected between the one or more electrical appliances and the at least one solar panel to receive charging power from the solar panel and to supply power to the one or more electrical appliances, and a controller adapted to implement a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm for the at least one solar panel, the MPPT algorithm configured to maximize power output of the at least one solar panel to direct charging of the battery pack from power from the at least one solar panel. For this reason, the MPPT algorithm is already a commonly used algorithm in photovoltaic or wind energy, and the control essence of the algorithm is not described herein again.
And the controller is further adapted to implement control of charging and discharging of the battery pack, so that the battery pack guarantees that the electric quantity of the battery pack is not lower than a preset discharging threshold when supplying power to the one or more electrical appliances, and guarantees that the electric quantity of the battery pack is not higher than a preset charging threshold when the at least one solar panel charges the battery pack. The charging threshold and the discharging threshold are generally set to have a certain margin from the limit threshold, so that the damage of the battery caused by direct overcharge and overdischarge of the battery is avoided. The specific threshold setting can be actually adjusted by reference to the technical manual of the battery provider. The control of the battery pack discharge further includes the controller deriving an upper and lower limit power indicator from the at least one upper and lower limit sensor and allowing the battery pack to charge below or temporarily below the discharge threshold when discharged if the upper and lower limit power indicator indicates that there is sufficient power from or to be from the at least one solar panel to recharge the battery pack, and allowing the battery pack to charge above or temporarily above the charge threshold when charged if the upper and lower limit power indicator indicates that there is sufficient power demand from or to be from the at least one appliance. In addition, the upper and lower limit sensors are intelligent sensors connected to the network to connect the control chip of the electric appliance and the weather providing server, so that the operation plan and the operation state of the electric appliance are acquired through the network, and weather information is acquired. In addition, the information of the upper and lower limit power indicators at least includes the positive and negative values of the following power, that is, at least includes the state that the electric quantity of the battery is increased or decreased in the following time period, in other words, the upper and lower limit power indicators are used for indicating that the battery is in a charging or discharging state in the following time period. It can be understood that although the battery power has reached a threshold, for example, a charging threshold, the upper and lower power indicators indicate that the power is negative or briefly positive and then quickly goes to negative, i.e., the battery goes to a discharging state or briefly charges but quickly goes to a discharging state, so that the operating state of the system can be kept unchanged, i.e., the charging of the battery is not stopped, and the utilization efficiency of solar energy can be improved.
The upper and lower limit sensors are used for collecting timing information of the at least one electric appliance and collecting the information of the residual sunshine duration on the day. For example: the upper and lower limit sensors collect timing information of the at least one electrical appliance and information of the remaining sunshine duration of the day so as to obtain electric power required before the sunshine of the second day and solar electric power which can be generated by the remaining sunshine duration of the day, and generate the upper and lower limit power indicators.
Example two.
The present embodiment provides a solar power generation system which can be provided to users as an island distributed power system, that is, users may need to use distributed power to supply power to various appliances under the condition that the users cannot contact with a municipal power grid, the system comprises: at least one solar panel, a battery pack connected to the at least one solar panel, one or more electrical appliances connected between the one or more electrical appliances and the at least one solar panel to receive charging power from the solar panel and to supply power to the one or more electrical appliances, and a controller adapted to implement a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm for the at least one solar panel, the MPPT algorithm configured to maximize power output of the at least one solar panel to direct charging of the battery pack from power from the at least one solar panel. In the light of this, it is preferable that,
the MPPT algorithm is already a common algorithm in photovoltaic or wind energy, and the control essence of the algorithm is not described herein again.
And the controller is further adapted to implement control of charging and discharging of the battery pack, so that the battery pack guarantees that the electric quantity of the battery pack is not lower than a preset discharging threshold of 30% when the battery pack supplies power to the one or more electrical appliances, and the at least one solar panel guarantees that the electric quantity of the battery pack is not higher than a preset charging threshold of 80% when the battery pack is charged. The charging threshold and the discharging threshold are generally set to have a certain margin from the limit threshold, so that the damage of the battery caused by direct overcharge and overdischarge of the battery is avoided.
The control of the battery pack discharge further includes the controller deriving an upper and lower limit power indicator from the at least one upper and lower limit sensor and allowing the battery pack to charge below or temporarily below the discharge threshold when discharged if the upper and lower limit power indicator indicates that there is sufficient power from or to be from the at least one solar panel to recharge the battery pack, and allowing the battery pack to charge above or temporarily above the charge threshold when charged if the upper and lower limit power indicator indicates that there is sufficient power demand from or to be from the at least one appliance.
The upper and lower limit sensors are used for collecting timing information of the at least one electric appliance and collecting the information of the residual sunshine duration on the day. For example: the upper and lower limit sensors collect timing information of the at least one electrical appliance and information of the remaining sunshine duration of the day so as to obtain electric power required before the sunshine of the second day and solar electric power which can be generated by the remaining sunshine duration of the day, and generate the upper and lower limit power indicators. The controller then controls the power control system according to the upper and lower power indicators, which may be specific power values, i.e. calculating the power of the electricity that can be generated by the remaining insolation, and calculating the power demand in the plan, to obtain the electricity to be consumed or stored over a period of time.
Example three.

And the controller is further adapted to implement control of charging and discharging of the battery pack, so that the battery pack guarantees that the electric quantity of the battery pack is not lower than a preset discharging threshold of 30% when the battery pack supplies power to the one or more electrical appliances, and the at least one solar panel guarantees that the electric quantity of the battery pack is not higher than a preset charging threshold of 80% when the battery pack is charged. The charging threshold and the discharging threshold are generally set to have a certain margin from the limit threshold, so that the damage of the battery caused by direct overcharge and overdischarge of the battery is avoided.

The upper and lower limit sensors are used for collecting timing information of the at least one electric appliance and collecting the information of the residual sunshine duration on the day. For example: the upper and lower limit sensors collect timing information of the at least one electrical appliance and information of the remaining sunshine duration of the day so as to obtain electric power required in a period of time before the next day of sunshine and solar electric power which can be generated in a period of time in the remaining sunshine duration of the day, and generate the upper and lower limit power indicators. In this way, it is possible to calculate how much charging or discharging power the battery will be charged or discharged next is obtained around the time when the upper charging limit or the lower discharging limit occurs. The controller then controls the power control system according to the upper and lower power limit indicators, which may be specific power values, i.e. calculating the power value of the electricity that can be generated in the last period of time when the generated power is close to the upper and lower limits of charging and discharging, and calculating the power demand in the plan, and calculating the two to obtain the electricity to be consumed or stored in a period of time.
