In the loop formed by the DC-to-AC circuit, the DC-to-AC circuit can convert the DC power from the battery pack into AC power and output the DC power through the rectifier and filter circuit to supply the modules within the battery pack. The controller is connected to the MCU within the battery pack. In this embodiment, the MCU can be used to control the modules and measure voltages.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Based on the energy storage system control circuit of Example 1, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation structure of an energy storage system control circuit including four battery packs.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, each battery pack 1 (PACK1), battery pack 2 (PACK2), battery pack 3 (PACK3), and battery pack 4 (PACK4) is equipped with an internal MCU. Each battery pack's MCU is connected to the controller in the high-voltage box via the CAN bus.

In this embodiment, the ATS can achieve seamless switching between dual AC branch power sources. The switching power supply converts the AC power into 24V DC power for the controller.

[0046] Figure 5The example in the figure shows that each PACK contains four modules, each of which is connected in parallel to a balancing circuit. Each module in each PACK and the balancing circuit connected in parallel to each module are connected to a rectifier device. Each rectifier device is connected to the output of the H-bridge circuit in the high-voltage box via a switch K14. By controlling the opening and closing of switch K14, the charging of each battery pack can be individually controlled. The H-bridge circuit is a power electronic circuit composed of four power electronic switching devices (such as MOSFETs and IGBTs). By controlling the conduction and shutdown of these four switching devices, it can convert direct current into alternating current.

[0047] The following combination Figure 6 right Figure 5 The connection relationship between the battery packs shown in FIG is explained, and it can be understood that Figure 6 Taking PACK1 and PACK2 as examples, the internal components and connection relationships of the two battery packs are shown. Figure 6 As shown, relays and resistors are connected in parallel between the modules in PACK1 and PACK2 as the balancing circuit between the modules. For example, R1 to R4 and K1 to K4 in PACK1 and PACK2 control the charging and discharging of modules 1 to 4 respectively. That is, the controller controls the balancing circuits connected in parallel with each module to charge different modules separately. Figure 6 The rectifier filter circuit composed of transformer U1, rectifier VD1, capacitor C1, resistor R1 and diode shown in FIG corresponds to Figure 5 The rectifier shown in FIG is used to provide direct current to the module. Figure 6 The balancing circuits formed by the circuit breaker K12, resistor R12, circuit breaker K13, resistor R13, and circuit breaker K22, resistor R22, circuit breaker K23, and resistor R23 shown in the figure are respectively used as bypass control for PACK1 and PACK2 to achieve voltage balancing between PACK1 and PACK2. The switching circuits formed by the fuse FU11, circuit breaker K11, and fuse FU21 and circuit breaker K21 are respectively used as short-circuit protection and loop control for the positive circuit loops of PACK1 and PACK2. By controlling the balancing circuits and switching circuits connected to each battery pack through the controller, each battery pack can be charged to achieve voltage balancing.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] An energy storage control method provided in an embodiment of the present application can be applied to the energy storage system control circuit of embodiments 1 and 2, and utilizes the following electrical circuit formed in the energy storage system control circuit: the input end of the DC-to-AC circuit is connected to the output end of the battery pack, and the output end of the DC-to-AC circuit is connected to the various modules and the balancing circuit inside the battery pack through the rectifier and filter circuit in the battery pack, which can realize the conversion of DC power from the battery pack into AC power, and output DC power through the rectifier and filter circuit to supply the various modules in the battery pack for charging to achieve voltage balancing control. Its application scenario is: when the battery pack or module completes charging and discharging and is in the static standby stage, the controller measures and obtains the voltage of the battery pack and the voltage of the module in real time through the voltage detection circuit, and triggers the execution of the energy storage control method provided in the embodiment of the present application by calculating the voltage difference between the battery packs or modules and judging that voltage balancing control is required based on the voltage difference.

[0050] In a specific implementation, when the energy storage system control circuit includes only one battery pack, an energy storage control method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 101: A controller in the energy storage system control circuit obtains the voltage of each module in the battery pack;

[0052] Step 102: The controller determines whether the voltage difference between the modules meets the first preset voltage difference range. If so, there is no need to perform voltage balancing control on the modules. Otherwise, the controller controls the balancing circuits connected in parallel to the modules to charge the modules until the voltage difference between the modules is less than the preset voltage value.

[0053] For example, the four modules contained in the battery pack are each connected in parallel with a balancing circuit consisting of a resistor R1 and a relay K1 in series. When the controller detects based on the voltage detection circuit that the voltage difference between any two of the four modules exceeds the first preset voltage difference range, the controller sequentially turns on the relay switches corresponding to the modules to charge the three modules with lower voltage values ​​in sequence. When the voltage differences between the three modules and the module with the highest voltage value are all less than the preset voltage value, the relay switches of the corresponding modules are turned off. For details, please refer to Figure 7 The process shown.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, when the energy storage system control circuit includes multiple battery packs, an energy storage control method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0055] Step 202: The controller in the energy storage system control circuit obtains the voltage of each battery pack and the voltage of each module inside the battery pack;

[0056] Step 202: The controller determines whether the voltage difference between each module meets the first preset voltage difference range and determines whether the voltage difference between each battery pack meets the second preset voltage difference range;

[0057] When it is determined that the voltage difference between each module does not meet the first preset voltage difference range, the controller is triggered to perform module voltage balancing control, that is, the controller controls the balancing circuit connected in parallel to each module to charge each module until the voltage difference between each module is less than the preset voltage value.

[0058] When it is determined that the voltage difference between each battery pack does not meet the second preset voltage difference range, the controller is triggered to perform battery pack voltage balancing control, that is, the controller charges each battery pack by controlling the charging control circuit connected to each battery pack until the voltage difference between each battery pack is less than the preset voltage value.

[0059] For example, the energy storage system control circuit includes Figure 6 The two battery packs shown are PACK1 and PACK2. The charging control circuit connected to PACK1 includes: a balancing circuit formed by relay K12, resistor R12, relay K13, and resistor R13, and a switching circuit formed by fuse FU11 and relay K11; the charging control circuit connected to PACK2 includes: a balancing circuit formed by relay K22, resistor R22, relay K23, and resistor R23, and a switching circuit formed by fuse FU21 and relay K21. When the controller detects that the voltage difference between PACK1 and PACK2 does not meet the second preset voltage difference range, it realizes balanced control of the voltage of each battery pack by disconnecting all relay switches in the switching circuit and closing all relay switches in the balancing circuit until the voltage difference between each battery pack is less than the preset voltage value, disconnecting all relay switches in the balancing circuit and closing all relay switches in the switching circuit. For details, please refer to Figure 8 The process shown.

[0060] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first preset voltage difference range is greater than 1V and less than 3V, the second preset voltage difference range is greater than 5V, and the preset voltage value is 1V.

[0061] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
