Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] In this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish between identical or similar items that have essentially the same function. It should be understood that there is no logical or temporal dependency between "first" and "second", nor is there any limitation on the quantity or execution order.

[0031] First, a brief introduction to the terms used in the embodiments of this application will be given.

[0032] Energy storage containers are integrated energy storage solutions, typically using lithium-ion batteries as the core energy storage unit and equipped with key components such as an Energy Management System (EMS), a Battery Management System (BMS), and a cooling system. They feature thermal insulation, temperature control, wind and sand protection, and corrosion resistance, enabling them to adapt to various complex environments. Energy storage containers are widely used in grid energy storage, renewable energy grid integration, emergency power supplies, and distributed generation to improve grid stability, address intermittent power generation issues, and provide backup power. With continuous technological advancements, particularly the application of liquid cooling technology, energy storage containers have significantly improved in terms of heat dissipation efficiency, energy saving, and energy density. Their intelligent design and modular structure make them more flexible, facilitating installation and maintenance. The energy storage container market is in a phase of rapid development and is expected to experience even greater growth potential in the coming years, becoming a crucial force driving energy transformation.

[0033] Water immersion sensors are devices used to detect water immersion or leakage, widely used in data centers, server rooms, warehouses, basements, and other similar locations. They trigger alarms by detecting the presence of water, helping to prevent water damage. Sensors typically use electrode or capacitive principles; when in contact with water, the circuit is activated and a signal is emitted. Water immersion sensors are characterized by high sensitivity, fast response, and ease of installation. They can be connected to monitoring systems for remote alarm and real-time monitoring. By setting different warning and alarm levels, users can take timely measures to avoid equipment damage and property loss caused by water immersion. Water immersion sensors are an important tool for ensuring the safe operation of critical facilities.

[0034] Figure 1A structural block diagram of an energy storage container provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application is shown. The energy storage container 100 includes: a container body, an energy storage battery 120, an energy management device 130, a battery management device 140, a cooling device 150, and a fault detection device 160.

[0035] The container body provides physical protection for the electronic equipment inside, shielding it from external environmental factors. For example, in outdoor environments, it prevents rain, dust, sand, and other pollutants from entering the container.

[0036] The energy storage battery 120 is the core component of the energy storage container 100. Its main function is to store and release electrical energy to meet the power needs in different scenarios. Optionally, the energy storage battery 120 can be a lithium-ion battery, flow battery, sodium-ion battery, lead-acid battery, etc., and is not limited here.

[0037] The energy management device 130 is used to comprehensively manage and optimize the energy flow, equipment operation, and safety monitoring among the various electronic devices in the energy storage container 110. Optionally, the energy management device 130 is used to perform functions such as charging and discharging control of the energy storage battery 120, power distribution, monitoring of key parameters of the energy storage battery 120 (e.g., voltage, current, state of charge, etc.), safety protection, grid dispatch response, remote monitoring and management, and communication functions, which are not limited here.

[0038] The battery management device 140 is used to manage and monitor the energy storage battery 120 (or energy storage battery pack). Its core function is to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the battery pack and extend the battery's lifespan. Optionally, the battery management device 140 is used to perform battery status monitoring (including voltage monitoring, current monitoring, temperature monitoring, etc.), battery equalization management, overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection, overcurrent protection, short circuit protection, state of charge assessment, data storage and management, etc., of the energy storage battery 120, which is not limited here.

[0039] The cooling device 150 is a component that ensures the energy storage battery 120 operates within a safe temperature range. Since the energy storage battery 120 generates heat during charging and discharging, if this heat cannot be dissipated in time, the battery temperature may rise, affecting battery performance, lifespan, and even causing safety issues. Therefore, by installing the cooling device 150 in the energy storage container 110, temperature control and thermal management of the energy storage battery 120 are performed, thereby improving the battery performance and lifespan of the energy storage battery 120, while also providing safety protection. Optionally, the cooling method implemented by the cooling device 150 includes at least one of air cooling, liquid cooling, phase change material cooling, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0040] The fault detection system 160 is used to check for potential faults in the energy storage container 100 to provide fault warnings and alarms. In this embodiment, the fault detection system 160 is used to perform the following actions: acquiring a water immersion signal from a water immersion sensor installed on the energy storage container 100, the water immersion signal indicating the water accumulation state in the energy storage container; acquiring at least one system environment information in the energy storage container, the system environment information indicating the environment in which the energy storage system is located; determining a water immersion fault level corresponding to the water immersion signal based on the water immersion signal and at least one system environment information, the water immersion fault level indicating the severity of the current water immersion event in the energy storage container; and performing a fault handling operation corresponding to the water immersion fault level.

[0041] In some embodiments, the energy management device 130, battery management device 140, cooling device 150, and fault detection system 160 in the energy storage container 100 are connected via a communication network. Optionally, the communication network can be a wired network or a wireless network, and is not limited thereto.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 This document illustrates a flowchart of a fault identification process for an energy storage container according to an embodiment of this application. The method is described by... Figure 1 The fault detection system 160 in the process is executed, and the method may include at least one of the following steps (210-240).

[0043] Step 210: Obtain the water immersion signal from the water immersion sensor installed on the energy storage container.

[0044] To illustrate, the water immersion sensor is a sensor pre-installed inside the energy storage container to detect the presence of water or changes in water level within the container.

[0045] Optionally, the above-mentioned water immersion sensor can be implemented as at least one of resistive water immersion sensor, capacitive water immersion sensor, optical water immersion sensor, float-type water immersion sensor, etc., without limitation.

[0046] The components of a water immersion sensor include sensor elements, signal conversion and processing circuits, output devices, housings, and protective structures.

[0047] The sensor element is used to directly detect the presence of water or changes in water level; the signal conversion and processing circuit is responsible for converting the physical changes detected by the sensor element (such as changes in resistance, capacitance, and light intensity) into electrical signals and processing and amplifying them. The signal conversion and processing circuit usually includes an oscillator, a signal amplifier, a microcontroller, etc.; the output device is used to output the processed signal so that it can be connected to other devices (such as alarms and control systems); the housing and protective structure are usually designed to be sealed to prevent water or dust from entering the interior and affecting the performance of the sensor.

[0048] Optionally, the sensor elements include a water immersion detection rope (or water immersion sensing line, water immersion detection line), conductive electrodes, photosensitive medium, float, mechanical / electrical switch, etc. Different types of water immersion sensors use different sensor elements, which are not limited here.

[0049] Optionally, multiple water immersion sensors are installed inside the energy storage container, with each sensor located in a different part of the container.

[0050] Optionally, a water immersion sensor may be installed at at least one of the following locations: inside the energy storage container, outside the energy storage container, at the bottom of the energy storage container, and at the top of the energy storage container.

[0051] Optionally, the location of the water immersion sensor installed inside the energy storage container corresponds to the container door of the energy storage container, for example, the water immersion sensor is installed around the container door.

[0052] Schematic illustration: The water immersion signal output by the water immersion sensor is used to indicate the water accumulation status in the energy storage container. Optionally, the water immersion signal includes the signal directly output by the sensor element, and / or, an electrical signal converted from the sensor element's output signal.

[0053] In some embodiments, the water immersion signal output by the water immersion sensor corresponds to a signal level, which is used to indicate the strength of the water immersion signal and characterize the fault intensity of the water immersion fault.

[0054] In this embodiment, the signal levels of the water immersion signal output by the water immersion sensor include a first signal level, a second signal level, and a third signal level. The first signal level indicates a potential risk of water accumulation in the energy storage container; the second signal level provides a risk warning; and the third signal level issues a risk alert. That is, the signal strength of the first signal level < the signal strength of the second signal level < the signal strength of the third signal level.

[0055] Step 220: Obtain at least one system environment information in the energy storage container.

[0056] The system environment information is used to indicate the environment in which the energy storage system is located within the energy storage container. Optionally, the system environment information includes at least one of the following:

[0057] 1. In-cabin environmental information

[0058] Internal environmental information refers to comprehensive monitoring information on the power equipment (energy storage batteries, etc.) and environmental parameters inside the energy storage container. In some embodiments, the energy storage container includes a power environment monitoring system, which can detect the internal environmental information of the container.

[0059] Optionally, the environmental information inside the cabin includes power equipment information (including parameters such as voltage, current, and power of the power system to which the energy storage battery belongs), environmental parameter information (including detection results such as temperature, humidity, and smoke information inside the cabin), and security monitoring information (access control status, whether there are people inside the cabin, etc.).

[0060] 2. Liquid cooling system information

[0061] Liquid cooling system information includes various operating parameters, status information, and monitoring data related to the liquid cooling system. For example, an energy storage container is equipped with a liquid cooling system used for thermal management of the energy storage batteries within the container. The aforementioned liquid cooling system information is obtained from monitoring this system.

[0062] Optionally, the liquid cooling system information includes coolant temperature information (outlet water temperature, inlet water temperature), equipment temperature information, coolant flow rate information, coolant pressure information, and liquid level information in the storage tank.

[0063] 3. Door status detection information

[0064] As an illustration, the energy storage container has a corresponding container door, and a detection device is installed to detect the status of the container door. The door status detection information includes at least one of the following: the container door is in an open state, a closed state, or a locked state.

[0065] Step 230: Based on the water immersion signal and at least one system environment information, determine the water immersion fault level corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0066] The water immersion fault level is used to indicate the severity of a current water immersion event in the energy storage container. In this embodiment, the water immersion fault level includes a Level 1 fault level, a Level 2 fault level, and a Level 3 fault level. The Level 1 fault level is the lowest fault level, the Level 2 fault level is a medium fault level, and the Level 3 fault level is the highest fault level. That is, the risk corresponding to the Level 2 fault level is higher than that corresponding to the Level 1 fault level, and the risk corresponding to the Level 3 fault level is higher than that corresponding to the Level 2 fault level.

[0067] In some embodiments, the cause of the water immersion signal is determined by the water immersion signal and system environment information. Illustratively, based on the water immersion signal and at least one piece of system environment information, the fault type indicated by the water immersion signal is classified to obtain a water immersion fault type, which is used to indicate the cause of the water immersion signal; the water immersion fault level corresponding to the water immersion fault type is then obtained.

[0068] In some embodiments, at least two types of water immersion faults are preset, and the water immersion signal is classified based on the water immersion signal and system environment information to determine the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0069] Optionally, at least two pre-set water immersion fault types include: system condensation type, first drainage fault type, first external water ingress type, second drainage fault type, hatch water ingress type, and second external water ingress type. The system condensation type indicates that the water immersion signal is triggered by condensation in the energy storage container. That is, the system condensation type water immersion signal is triggered by the condensation of water vapor in the air inside the energy storage container, indicating that the water immersion is not caused by external leakage or intrusion, but by changes in the internal environment. The first drainage fault type indicates that the water immersion signal is triggered by a drainage problem in the dehumidification system. That is, the first drainage fault type water immersion signal is triggered by a drainage problem in the dehumidification system, such as leakage or condensate outflow. The first external water ingress type indicates that the water immersion signal is triggered by a localized water ingress caused by changes in the external environment of the energy storage container. The second external water ingress type indicates that the water immersion signal is triggered by changes in the external environment of the energy storage container. The first and second external water ingress types both indicate that the water immersion signal is triggered by external water ingress, with the external water ingress amount indicated by the first type being less than that indicated by the second type. The second external water ingress type indicates that the water immersion signal is triggered by a problem caused by an unclosed container door, meaning that the water immersion signal of the door type is triggered by external water entering the container due to an unclosed energy storage container door. The third drainage fault type indicates that the water immersion signal is triggered by a drainage fault in the liquid cooling system, meaning that the water immersion signal of the second drainage fault type is triggered by a drainage fault in the liquid cooling system, such as a problem caused by coolant leakage due to pipe blockage or drainage pump failure.

[0070] In some embodiments, the system condensation type corresponds to a first-level fault, the first drainage fault type corresponds to a second-level fault, the first external water ingress type corresponds to a second-level fault, the second drainage fault type corresponds to a third-level fault, the hatch water ingress type corresponds to a third-level fault, and the second external water ingress type corresponds to a third-level fault.

[0071] It is worth noting that the above correspondence between drainage fault types and water immersion fault levels is an illustrative example, and other correspondences can also be implemented, which are not limited here.

[0072] Step 240: Perform the fault handling operation corresponding to the water immersion fault level.

[0073] Indicatively, different fault handling operations are provided for different water immersion fault levels. In some embodiments, when the water immersion fault level is Level 1, the dehumidification system is activated to dehumidify, wherein the dehumidification system is used to control the humidity in the energy storage container; when the water immersion fault level is Level 2, the charging and discharging of the energy storage batteries in the energy storage container is stopped; when the water immersion fault level is Level 3, the power supply and / or circuit in the energy storage container is cut off.

[0074] In other words, when the system environment information and water immersion signal indicate that the water immersion fault level is the lowest level (Level 1), the fault is handled by dehumidifying the energy storage container since the potential water immersion risk in the container is low. When the system environment information and water immersion signal indicate that the water immersion fault level is the medium level (Level 2), the fault is handled by stopping the charging and discharging of the energy storage batteries in the container, since the potential water immersion risk in the container may affect the batteries. When the system environment information and water immersion signal indicate that the water immersion fault level is the highest level (Level 2), the fault is handled by cutting off the power supply and / or circuits in the container to avoid damage to the electronic equipment inside, since the potential water immersion risk in the container is high.

[0075] In some embodiments, while handling the fault according to the water immersion fault level, a fault alarm message corresponding to the water immersion fault level is sent to the client, wherein the fault alarm message is used to alert the energy storage container to the water immersion fault.

[0076] Optionally, the above-mentioned fault alarm information includes at least one of the following: water immersion fault level, water immersion fault type, and water immersion fault handling result.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 3The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a fault identification process for an energy storage container provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The process includes: 301, setting up a water immersion sensor; 302, acquiring and fusing system environmental data and water immersion signals; 303, analyzing the cause of the water immersion signal and determining the water immersion fault level; and 304, reporting the water immersion fault and performing corresponding fault handling.

[0078] In summary, when identifying water immersion faults in energy storage containers, the water immersion fault level indicated by the water immersion signal is determined by combining the water immersion signal output by the water immersion sensor with the system environment information in the energy storage container. Based on the determined fault level, corresponding fault handling operations are performed. Therefore, when judging water immersion faults using the water immersion signal output by the water immersion sensor, the severity of the water immersion event indicated by the water immersion signal can be classified according to the system environment information in the energy storage container. This allows for appropriate handling operations to be provided for water immersion events, avoiding false alarms caused by a single water immersion signal, improving the accuracy of water immersion fault handling, and enhancing the system stability of the energy storage container.

[0079] In some optional embodiments, different judgment methods are used for different types of water immersion faults. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of fault identification for an energy storage container according to an embodiment of this application. The method may include at least one of the following steps (401-452), wherein steps (401-452) are performed after step 220.

[0080] System condensation type:

[0081] Step 401: Determine the dew point temperature in the energy storage container based on temperature and humidity information.

[0082] Since energy storage containers are enclosed environments, the water immersion signals detected by the water immersion sensors inside the containers may come from condensation caused by changes in internal temperature and humidity. In this case, simply dehumidifying the energy storage container can resolve the risk of water immersion.

[0083] In this embodiment of the application, at least one type of system environmental information includes temperature information and humidity information inside the energy storage container. The temperature information indicates the ambient temperature inside the energy storage container; the humidity information indicates the ambient humidity inside the energy storage container.

[0084] By analyzing the temperature and humidity data inside the energy storage container, the dew point temperature inside the container can be calculated. The dew point temperature is the temperature at which water vapor in the air reaches saturation under a given atmospheric pressure.

[0085] In one example, the dew point temperature T inside the energy storage container is calculated using Formula 1. d .

[0086] Formula 1:

[0087] Where T represents the temperature information inside the energy storage container, and RH represents the humidity information inside the energy storage container.

[0088] In this embodiment, a liquid cooling system is provided in the energy storage container, which is used to achieve thermal management of the energy storage batteries in the energy storage container.

[0089] In some embodiments, at least one system environmental information further includes the system outlet water temperature of the liquid cooling system, wherein the system outlet water temperature of the liquid cooling system is used to indicate the temperature of the coolant flowing out of the cooling system after completing the cooling task of the equipment, and this temperature reflects the state of the coolant after absorbing heat from the equipment. By comparing the system outlet water temperature and dew point temperature of the liquid cooling system, as well as the signal level of the water immersion signal, the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal can be determined. Schematic, the dew point temperature in the energy storage container is determined based on temperature and humidity information; a first comparison result between the system outlet water temperature and the dew point temperature is obtained; the signal level of the water immersion signal is obtained, and the signal level of the water immersion signal is used to indicate the severity of water accumulation in the energy storage container; the fault type indicated by the water immersion signal is classified by combining the first comparison result and the signal level to obtain the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0090] Step 402: If the first comparison result between the system outlet water temperature and the dew point temperature indicates that the system outlet water temperature is lower than the dew point temperature, and there are at least two water immersion sensors outputting water immersion signals that belong to the first signal level, then the system condensation type is taken as the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0091] The first signal level is the level at which the water immersion signal indicates a potential risk of water accumulation in the energy storage container; the system condensation type is used to indicate that the water immersion signal is triggered by condensation in the energy storage container. That is, the system condensation type water immersion signal is triggered by water vapor in the air inside the energy storage container condensing into water droplets (condensation), indicating that the water immersion is not caused by external leakage or intrusion, but by changes in the internal environment.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the system outlet temperature of the coolant in the cooling system is lower than the dew point temperature inside the energy storage container, water droplets may condense on the equipment surface or the outer wall of the pipes. That is, the low temperature of the coolant causes the water vapor in the surrounding air to reach a saturated state, thus condensing into water droplets. Since condensation may cause the equipment surface to become damp or even accumulate water, the water immersion sensor will output a water immersion signal.

[0093] In this embodiment of the application, when the internal environment of the energy storage container may have condensation problems caused by the coolant of the cooling system, and at least two water immersion sensors output water immersion signals of the first signal level, that is, when there may be condensation inside the energy storage container, and at least two (or only two) of the multiple water immersion sensors in the energy storage container output water immersion signals of the first signal level, it indicates that there is a risk of water immersion inside the current energy storage container. However, since the water immersion risk indicated by the signal level corresponding to the water immersion signal is small and the area distribution is wide (it can be detected by two or more water immersion sensors), it indicates that the water immersion signal is more likely to be caused by condensation generated in the energy storage container. Therefore, the system condensation type is determined as the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0094] Step 403: Obtain the first-level fault level as the water immersion fault level of the system condensation type.

[0095] Among them, the first-level fault level is the lowest fault level. That is, when the water immersion signal corresponds to the system condensation type of water immersion fault, the current risk of water immersion in the energy storage container is relatively small. The low-level fault level is adopted so as to deal with the fault through the fault handling corresponding to the low-level fault level.

[0096] In some embodiments, when the water immersion failure level is Level 1, a dehumidification system is activated to dehumidify the water, wherein the dehumidification system is used to control the humidity in the energy storage container.

[0097] In some embodiments, when the water immersion fault level is Level 1, the dehumidification system is activated to dehumidify and a fault alarm message corresponding to the water immersion fault level is sent to the client. The fault alarm message includes prompts indicating the Level 1 fault level and / or the system condensation type.

[0098] First type of drainage failure

[0099] Step 411: If at least one system environment information is normal and the water immersion signal output by a single water immersion sensor belongs to the second signal level, the first drainage fault type is taken as the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0100] Among them, the second signal level is the risk warning level for water accumulation in the energy storage container, and the first drainage fault type indicates that the water immersion signal is triggered by a drainage fault in the dehumidification system.

[0101] In some embodiments, a dehumidification system is provided in the energy storage container to control the humidity within the container. If the acquired system environmental information does not match the judgment criteria corresponding to other water immersion fault types, it is determined that at least one system environmental information is normal. That is, in this case, other water immersion fault types (e.g., system condensation) are first ruled out, and only one water immersion sensor outputs a water immersion signal, and this signal belongs to the second signal level, indicating a localized water leakage problem. Therefore, in this case, the cause of the water immersion signal is highly likely to be a drainage fault in the dehumidification system. When a drainage fault in the dehumidification system leads to leakage or condensation, the water immersion sensor outputs a second-level water immersion signal.

[0102] In some embodiments, in order to improve the accuracy of determining the first drainage fault type, when at least one system environment information is normal and the water immersion signal output by the water immersion sensor located in the first range of the dehumidification system belongs to the second signal level, the first drainage fault type is taken as the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0103] Step 412: Obtain the secondary fault level as the water immersion fault level of the first drainage fault type.

[0104] Among them, the second level of fault is a medium level of fault. That is, when the water immersion signal corresponds to the first drainage fault type, the current water immersion risk in the energy storage container is medium. The medium level of fault is adopted to deal with the fault through the corresponding fault handling.

[0105] In some embodiments, when the water immersion fault level is level two, the charging and discharging of the energy storage batteries in the energy storage container is stopped.

[0106] In some embodiments, when the water immersion fault level is a level 2 fault, the charging and discharging of the energy storage battery in the energy storage container is stopped, and a fault alarm message corresponding to the water immersion fault level is sent to the client. The fault alarm message includes prompts indicating the level 2 fault and / or the first drainage fault type.

[0107] First type of external water inlet

[0108] Step 421: If at least one system environment information is normal and the water immersion signal output by a single water immersion sensor belongs to the third signal level, the first external water ingress type is taken as the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0109] The third signal level is the level at which the water immersion signal provides a risk warning for water accumulation in the energy storage container, and the first external water ingress type indicates that the water immersion signal is triggered by a local water ingress problem caused by changes in the external environment of the energy storage container.

[0110] In some embodiments, if the acquired system environment information does not match the judgment conditions corresponding to other water immersion fault types, it is determined that at least one system environment information is normal. That is, in this case, other water immersion fault types (e.g., system condensation type) are first ruled out, and at least one water immersion sensor outputs a water immersion signal, and the water immersion signal belongs to the third signal level, indicating that there is a serious water leakage problem. Therefore, in this case, the cause of the water immersion signal is more likely to be a water ingress problem caused by changes in the external environment, such as water ingress due to gaps in the container door of the energy storage container due to extreme weather, or water ingress due to partial damage to the container body.

[0111] Step 422: Obtain the secondary fault level as the water immersion fault level of the first external water ingress type.

[0112] Among them, the second-level fault level is a medium-level fault level. That is, when the water immersion signal corresponds to the first type of external water ingress, the current water immersion risk in the energy storage container is medium. A medium-level fault level is adopted to deal with the fault through the corresponding fault handling.

[0113] In some embodiments, when the water immersion fault level is level two, the charging and discharging of the energy storage batteries in the energy storage container is stopped.

[0114] In some embodiments, when the water immersion fault level is level two, the charging and discharging of the energy storage battery in the energy storage container is stopped, and a fault alarm message corresponding to the water immersion fault level is sent to the client. The fault alarm message includes prompts indicating the level two fault and / or the first type of external water ingress.

[0115] Second type of drainage failure

[0116] Step 431: Obtain the pressure fluctuation threshold corresponding to the liquid cooling system.

[0117] In this embodiment of the application, a liquid cooling system is provided in the energy storage container. The liquid cooling system is used to realize the thermal management of the energy storage battery in the energy storage container. At least one system environmental information includes the return water pressure fluctuation information of the liquid cooling system.

[0118] The return water pressure fluctuation information refers to the changes in coolant return water pressure during the operation of the liquid cooling system. Causes of coolant return water pressure fluctuations include changes in coolant flow rate, system resistance, coolant leakage, changes in pump operating status, and ambient temperature variations. Coolant return water pressure fluctuations can affect the cooling system's heat dissipation efficiency, equipment safety, and system reliability.

[0119] In this embodiment, the pressure fluctuation threshold corresponding to the liquid cooling system is used to determine whether the coolant return pressure is within the normal fluctuation range. By comparing the difference between the return pressure fluctuation information and the pressure fluctuation threshold of the liquid cooling system, it can be determined whether the coolant return pressure of the liquid cooling system is normal, and thus determine whether the generated water immersion signal may originate from an anomaly in the liquid cooling system. Illustratively, the pressure fluctuation threshold corresponding to the liquid cooling system is obtained; a second comparison result between the return pressure fluctuation information and the pressure fluctuation threshold of the liquid cooling system is obtained; the signal level of the water immersion signal is obtained, and the signal level of the water immersion signal is used to indicate the severity of water accumulation in the energy storage container; the fault type indicated by the water immersion signal is classified by combining the second comparison result and the signal level to obtain the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0120] Step 432: If the second comparison result between the return water pressure fluctuation information and the pressure fluctuation threshold indicates that the return water pressure fluctuation information has reached the pressure fluctuation threshold, and there is a water immersion signal output by at least one water immersion sensor that belongs to the second signal level, then the second drainage fault type is taken as the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0121] The second signal level is the risk warning level for water accumulation in the energy storage container, and the second drainage fault type indicates that the water immersion signal is triggered by a drainage fault in the liquid cooling system.

[0122] In this embodiment of the application, when the difference in coolant return water pressure drop per unit time, as indicated by the return water pressure fluctuation information of the liquid cooling system, is greater than or equal to the pressure fluctuation threshold, it indicates that there is a risk of coolant leakage in the liquid cooling system. If at the same time, the water immersion signal output by the water immersion sensor belongs to the second signal level, that is, the water accumulation in the energy storage container has reached the level that requires warning, the second drainage fault type is taken as the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal, indicating that the water immersion signal is triggered by a drainage fault problem in the liquid cooling system.

[0123] Step 433: Obtain the third-level fault level as the water immersion fault level of the second drainage fault type.

[0124] Among them, the third level of fault is the highest level of fault. That is, when the water immersion signal corresponds to the second drainage fault type, the risk of water immersion in the current energy storage container is very high. A higher level of fault is adopted to deal with the problem through the fault handling corresponding to the higher level of fault.

[0125] In some embodiments, in the event of a water immersion fault level of three, the power supply and / or circuitry in the energy storage container are disconnected.

[0126] In some embodiments, when the water immersion fault level is level three, the power supply and / or circuits in the energy storage container are cut off, and a fault alarm message corresponding to the water immersion fault level is sent to the client. The fault alarm message includes a prompt message indicating the level three fault level and / or the second drainage fault type.

[0127] Types of water ingress into hatches

[0128] Step 441: If the hatch status indicates that the container hatch is not closed, and the water immersion signal output by the water immersion sensor corresponding to the container hatch is of the second signal level, the hatch water ingress type shall be regarded as the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0129] The second signal level is the risk warning level for water accumulation in the energy storage container, and the door water ingress type indicator indicates that the water ingress signal is triggered by water ingress caused by the container door not being closed.

[0130] In this embodiment of the application, the energy storage container has a corresponding container door, and at least one system environmental information includes the door status of the container door, and a corresponding water immersion sensor is installed on the container door.

[0131] In some embodiments, at least one water immersion sensor is disposed around the container door, for example, above the container door, below the container door, or on the side of the container door.

[0132] In this embodiment of the application, when the hatch status of the energy storage container indicates that the container hatch is not closed, the current water immersion signal is likely caused by external water entering due to the hatch not being closed. That is, when it is detected that the container hatch of the energy storage container is not closed, and the water immersion signal output by the water immersion sensor corresponding to the container hatch is of the second signal level, the hatch water ingress type is regarded as the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0133] Step 442: Obtain the Level 3 fault level as the water immersion fault level for the type of water ingress into the hatch.

[0134] Among them, Level 3 is the highest level of failure. That is, when the water immersion signal corresponds to the water immersion fault type of the hatch water ingress type, the current risk of water immersion in the energy storage container is very high. A higher level of failure is adopted so as to deal with the problem through the corresponding fault handling.

[0135] In some embodiments, in the event of a water immersion fault level of three, the power supply and / or circuitry in the energy storage container are disconnected.

[0136] In some embodiments, when the water immersion failure level is level three, the power supply and / or circuits in the energy storage container are cut off, and a fault alarm message corresponding to the water immersion failure level is sent to the client. The fault alarm message includes prompts indicating the level three failure level and / or the type of water ingress into the hatch.

[0137] Second type of external water inlet

[0138] Step 451: If at least one system environment information is normal and at least two water immersion sensors output water immersion signals that belong to the third signal level, the second external water ingress type is taken as the water immersion fault type corresponding to the water immersion signal.

[0139] The third signal level is the level at which the water immersion signal provides a risk warning for water accumulation in the energy storage container, and the second external water ingress type indicates that the water immersion signal is triggered by a global water ingress problem caused by changes in the external environment of the energy storage container.

[0140] In some embodiments, if the acquired system environment information does not match the judgment conditions corresponding to other water immersion fault types, it is determined that at least one system environment information is normal. That is, in this case, other water immersion fault types (e.g., system condensation type) are first ruled out, and at least two water immersion sensors output water immersion signals, and the water immersion signals belong to the third signal level, indicating that there are multiple water leakage problems. Therefore, in this case, the cause of the water immersion signal is more likely to be water ingress caused by changes in the external environment, and the current water ingress is multiple, such as water ingress due to gaps in the container door of the energy storage container due to extreme weather, water ingress due to partial damage to the container body, etc.

[0141] Step 452: Obtain the third-level fault level as the water immersion fault level for the second external water ingress type.

[0142] Among them, the third level of fault is the highest level of fault. That is, when the water immersion signal corresponds to the second type of external water ingress, the risk of water immersion in the current energy storage container is very high. A higher level of fault is adopted to deal with the problem through the fault handling corresponding to the higher level of fault.

[0143] In some embodiments, in the event of a water immersion fault level of three, the power supply and / or circuitry in the energy storage container are disconnected.

[0144] In some embodiments, when the water immersion fault level is level three, the power supply and / or circuits in the energy storage container are cut off, and a fault alarm message corresponding to the water immersion fault level is sent to the client. The fault alarm message includes a prompt message indicating the level three fault level and / or the second type of external water ingress.

[0145] In summary, when identifying water immersion faults in energy storage containers, the water immersion fault level indicated by the water immersion signal is determined by combining the water immersion signal output by the water immersion sensor with the system environment information in the energy storage container. Based on the determined fault level, corresponding fault handling operations are performed. Therefore, when judging water immersion faults using the water immersion signal output by the water immersion sensor, the severity of the water immersion event indicated by the water immersion signal can be classified according to the system environment information in the energy storage container. This allows for appropriate handling operations to be provided for water immersion events, avoiding false alarms caused by a single water immersion signal, improving the accuracy of water immersion fault handling, and enhancing the system stability of the energy storage container.
