The schematic diagram of this equivalent circuit is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the first branch includes a third controlled resistor; the second branch includes a second controlled voltage source and a second controlled resistor connected in series. When assigning values ​​to the controlled voltage source and the controlled resistor, the assignment schemes for the submodule in the locked, engaged, and disconnected states need to be considered. The energy storage battery pack in the disconnected, soft-start, and engaged states is mainly reflected through different device parameters. Based on the calculation of the equivalent voltage source and equivalent resistance in step S204, values ​​are assigned considering different operating conditions:
