The first voltage level, the second voltage level, and the third voltage level may be set according to actual situations, and are not limited herein. For example, the first voltage level and the second voltage level are both greater than the third voltage level.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the inverter 3 may convert at least one of the first ac power and the second ac power into the first dc power of the third voltage level based on the charging command, and may include the following three possible embodiments:

in the method 1, the inverter 3 may convert only the first ac power into the first dc power of the third voltage level based on the charging command, that is, only the first ac power generated by the new energy power generation apparatus 1 is used to charge the battery 4.

In the mode 2, the inverter 3 can convert both the first alternating current electric energy and the second alternating current electric energy into the first direct current electric energy of the third voltage level based on the charging instruction, that is, the first alternating current electric energy generated by the new energy power generation device 1 and the second alternating current electric energy output by the power grid can be simultaneously used for charging the battery 4.

In the method 3, the inverter 3 may convert only the second ac power into the first dc power at the third voltage level based on the charging command, that is, only the second ac power output by the power grid is used to charge the battery 4.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the battery replacement station comprises the new energy power generation device and the power grid access device, and alternating current electric energy generated by the new energy power generation device and the power grid can be used in combination, so that the charging mode is more flexible, the stability and reliability of power supply of the battery replacement station are improved, and the power consumption requirement of a user can be met.

On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the controller 5 is further configured to detect whether a preset power grid access condition is currently met, and when the preset power grid access condition is currently met, it indicates that the power conversion station can access the power grid at this time, the controller 5 may send an access instruction to the power grid access device 2, and the power grid access device 2 may establish electrical connection with the power grid based on the access instruction.

The power grid access condition can be set according to actual conditions, and is not limited too much here. For example, the grid access condition includes at least one of:

and in the condition 1, the first alternating current electric energy is smaller than the required electric energy of the power conversion station.

If the first alternating current electric energy is smaller than the electric energy required by the battery replacement station, which indicates that the first alternating current electric energy generated by the new energy power generation device 1 cannot meet the power consumption requirement of the battery replacement station, it can be determined that the power grid access condition is met, so as to meet the power consumption requirement of the battery replacement station.

On the contrary, if the target parameter of the power grid is not in the preset target value range, which indicates that the fluctuation range of the target parameter is large, the stability of the power grid is poor, and at this time, it can be determined that the power grid access condition is not met, so that the power switching station can be prevented from accessing the power grid when the stability of the power grid is poor, and the stability and the reliability of power supply of the power switching station are improved.

Therefore, the controller can control whether the power grid access device is electrically connected with the power grid or not based on whether the preset power grid access condition is met or not at present, and the power grid access is more flexible.

On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the controller 5 is further configured to detect whether a preset charging condition is currently satisfied, and when detecting that the preset charging condition is currently satisfied, the controller 5 sends a charging instruction to the inverter 3.

If the accumulated waiting time of any equipment to be replaced in the battery replacement station reaches the second preset threshold, it is indicated that the equipment to be replaced with the longer accumulated waiting time exists in the battery replacement station, the battery in the equipment to be replaced needs to be replaced by the battery replacement battery, or the battery in the equipment to be replaced is charged, and it can be determined that the charging condition is met.

It should be noted that the second preset threshold may be set according to actual situations, and is not limited herein, for example, the second preset threshold may be set to 30 minutes.

It should be noted that the third preset threshold may be set according to actual situations, and is not limited herein, for example, the third preset threshold may be set to 1 hour.

And under the condition 4, the first alternating current electric energy is larger than the required electric energy of the power conversion station, and the difference value between the first alternating current electric energy and the required electric energy is larger than a fourth preset threshold value.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, if the first ac power is greater than the required power of the power conversion station, and the difference between the first ac power and the required power is greater than the fourth preset threshold, it indicates that the first ac power generated by the new energy power generation device 1 can meet the power consumption requirement of the power conversion station, and the first ac power is excessive, it can be determined that the charging condition is met, so as to fully utilize the first ac power generated by the new energy power generation device 1.

The controller 5 may further obtain identification information of the battery replacement 4 that needs to be charged, and send the identification information to the inverter 3, and the inverter 3 may determine the battery replacement 4 that needs to be charged based on the received identification information.

In one embodiment, the controller 5 may determine the charging power of the battery swapping battery based on at least one of the remaining capacity of the battery swapping battery 4, the remaining wait-able time period of the device to be swapped, and the difference between the first ac power and the required power of the swapping station, with the minimum charging power as a constraint condition. Therefore, the method can comprehensively consider the influence of the residual electric quantity of the battery replacement battery, the residual waiting time of the equipment to be replaced and the difference value between the first alternating current electric energy and the required electric energy of the battery replacement station on the charging power, so that the determined charging power is more accurate, the charging efficiency is improved, and the service life of the battery replacement battery is prolonged by taking the minimum charging power as a constraint condition.
