The invention relates to the technical field of high-
voltage cascade energy storage systems, and discloses a high-
voltage cascade energy storage system based on nested power modules and a control method thereof.The high-
voltage cascade energy storage system comprises three phases of
chain type energy storage bridge arms connected with
three phase lines of a
power grid respectively, and each phase of
chain type energy storage bridge arm comprises a plurality of cascaded nested power modules; each nested
power module comprises a plurality of direct-current
chain type energy storage units and an H-
bridge circuit, the plurality of direct-current chain type energy storage units are connected in parallel and then are connected with the direct-current side of the H-
bridge circuit, and the alternating-current side of the H-
bridge circuit is connected with an alternating-
current switch; the
direct current chain type energy storage unit comprises a plurality of energy storage modules, an electric reactor and a
direct current switch, the plurality of energy storage modules are cascaded and then are sequentially connected with the electric reactor and the
direct current switch, each energy storage module comprises a
battery pack and a half-bridge circuit connected with the
battery pack, and the half-bridge circuit is used for charge state balance control of the
battery pack. According to the invention, any battery pack can be bypassed after a fault, and the operation reliability of the high-voltage cascade energy storage
system is improved.
