Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial control system safety, and in particular to a method and device for energy storage battery communication detection. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous acceleration of the new energy track, the electricity consumption of various industries has increased rapidly, especially the increasing demand for household electricity consumption, and the installation failure rate has also increased accordingly. In order to ensure the stability and reliability of the system before installation and use. The energy storage battery communication detection device came into being as a communication detection before the system was installed. Compared with the traditional method, it fully demonstrates its superiority in operation, allowing non-related professionals to effectively judge the quality of the system and greatly reduce unnecessary costs.

[0003] Since the installation of energy storage systems involves photovoltaics, PCS, energy storage batteries and other materials, if the various modules are not operating normally before installation, then failures after installation will result in unnecessary cost losses, so communication detection of energy storage systems is extremely important.

[0004] To monitor the complete self-inspection process of the energy storage system before installation, it is necessary to conduct modular inspections during construction and installation, so that an energy storage system communication inspection device can be used. Only in this way can timely processing be carried out when an alarm or failure occurs in a certain module.

[0005] At present, the corresponding product guarantees of many manufacturers are not perfect, and the failure rate during terminal use is relatively high. There are two common reasons for the occurrence of failures:

[0006] (1) The self-inspection steps performed by the manufacturer are relatively simple; (2) The dealers or end customers may have limited professional knowledge and are unable to analyze the current status of the product during the installation process.

[0007] At the same time, this also leads to a lot of corresponding costs, such as:

[0008] (1) Additional technicians are required to carry out maintenance; (2) An additional percentage amount needs to be paid; (3) Time costs are increased; (4) There are varying degrees of impact on the manufacturer's brand, etc. Summary of the invention

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method and device for energy storage battery communication detection to solve the existing problems of improving the factory pass rate of energy storage systems, improving the efficiency of terminal energy storage system installation and reducing after-sales maintenance costs.
