Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a multifunctional portable electrochemical energy storage system testing device, belonging to the field of energy storage technology. Background Technology

[0002] Safety has gradually become a primary concern in the construction and large-scale application of lithium-ion battery energy storage power stations. Related accident investigation reports indicate that incomplete or untimely information sharing among the Battery Management System (BMS), Power Conversion System (PCS), Energy Management System (EMS), and Coordination Controller; improper protection configuration and coordination between the PCS and batteries; battery anomalies after PCS repairs; and conflicts between measuring devices and the management system are among the key reasons why electrochemical energy storage system failures cannot be effectively and promptly controlled, escalating into accidents.
