When at least one of the power operation information is abnormal, the control unit disconnects the driving switch (Q1 or Q2) in the charging and discharging electronic unit that is in a working state, and the control unit generates a power fault signal F_VCC according to the power operation information, and sends the collected power operation information and the power fault signal F_VCC to the main controller through CAN communication (Controller Area Network); the main controller receives and responds to the power fault signal F_VCC, and performs level conversion on the inverter drive signal and the discharge drive signal according to the power fault signal F_VCC, applies the inverter drive signal to each inverter sub-unit, disconnects the inverter switch (S1, S2, S3, S4) in the working state in each inverter sub-unit, and applies the inverter drive signal to the discharge switch (K11, K22) in the working state in the charging unit to shut down the energy storage power supply.

Figure 5 As shown, when the main controller determines that the collected load operation information is abnormal, the main controller first converts the level of the inverter drive signal and the discharge drive signal according to the load operation information, applies the inverter drive signal to each inverter sub-unit, and disconnects the inverter switch (S1, S2, S3, S4) in the working state in each inverter sub-unit. At the same time, the inverter drive signal is applied to the discharge switch (K11, K22) in the charging unit that is in the working state; then, a load fault signal F_L is generated according to the load operation information, and the collected load operation information and the load fault signal F_L are transmitted to each control unit through CAN communication (Controller Area Network). The control unit receives and responds to the load fault signal F_L, converts the level of the drive signal according to the load fault signal F_L, and disconnects the drive switch (Q1 or Q2) in the working state in each charging and discharging electronic unit.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, if the power supply operation information and the load operation information return to normal, the main controller closes multiple inverter switches, drive switches of the micro power unit and the discharge switch in the load unit, including: the main controller obtains the discharge demand of the energy storage power supply and sets the multiple inverter switches and discharge switches to the working state according to the discharge demand, and sends an enable signal to each control unit; each control unit responds to the enable signal and sets each drive switch to the working state according to the enable signal. Specifically, when the staff has completed clearing the fault, the power supply operation information and the load operation information change from abnormal to normal, the main controller obtains the discharge demand of the energy storage power supply, and converts the inverter drive signal and the discharge drive signal level according to the discharge demand, so that multiple inverter switches (S1, S2, S3, S4) and discharge switches (K11, K22) are set to the working state, and an enable signal EN is generated for each control unit. Each control unit receives and responds to the enable signal EN, and first closes the second drive switch Q2 according to the enable signal EN, and charges the first capacitor C1 through the pre-charging circuit. After the voltage of the first capacitor C1 is stable, the second drive switch Q2 is disconnected, and the first drive switch Q1 is closed, and the battery pack Vbat is connected to the energy storage power supply to power the load equipment.

[0047] When the power level of the energy storage power supply is lower than the preset low voltage threshold, the energy storage power supply needs to be charged, and the charging process of the energy storage power supply also needs to be protected.

[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, the energy storage power supply protection method further includes steps S610 to S630: S610, when the energy storage power source is in a charging state, monitoring each micro power unit and charging unit to obtain a plurality of power supply operation information and charging operation information; S620: If any power supply operation information or charging operation information is abnormal, disconnect the driving switch, multiple inverter switches and charging switch in the corresponding micro power unit; S630: If the power supply operation information and the charging operation information return to normal, the main controller closes the multiple inverter switches and the drive switch in the micro power unit and the charging switch in the charging unit; The charging operation information includes charging voltage and charging current.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, the main controller samples the voltage and current of the second filter inductor L2, the second filter capacitor C3 and the charging resistors (Rc1, Rc2) of the charging unit to obtain charging operation information. The charging operation information includes the voltage and current of the second filter inductor L2, the voltage and current of the second filter capacitor C3, the current and voltage of the charging resistors (Rc1, Rc2), etc.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, if any power supply operation information or charging operation information is abnormal, the driving switch, multiple inverter switches and charging switch working in the corresponding micro power unit are disconnected, including: if any power supply operation information is abnormal, the driving switch is disconnected first, and then the multiple inverter switches and charging switch are disconnected; if the charging operation information is abnormal, the charging switch and multiple inverter switches are disconnected first, and then the driving switch is disconnected. For example, Figure 5 As shown, when the sampling voltage, sampling current or sampling temperature of one of the multiple micro power units is abnormal, the driving switch (Q1 or Q2) in the abnormal micro power unit in working state is disconnected first, and then the inverter switch (S1, S2, S3, S4) and charging switch (K21, K22, K31, K32) in working state are disconnected. When the charging operation information is abnormal, the charging current and voltage are abnormal, which will reduce the life of the battery. Therefore, the inverter switch (S1, S2, S3, S4) and charging switch (K21, K22, K31, K32) in working state are disconnected first, and then the driving switch (Q1 or Q2) in working state in the micro power unit is disconnected.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, if the power supply operation information and the charging operation information return to normal, the main controller closes multiple inverter switches, drive switches in the micro power unit and the charging switch in the charging unit; the main controller obtains the charging demand of the energy storage power supply and sets the multiple inverter switches and charging switches to the working state according to the charging demand, and sends an enable signal to each control unit; each control unit responds to the enable signal and sets each drive switch to the working state according to the enable signal. Specifically, after the staff has resolved the abnormal alarm, the power supply operation information and the charging operation information are changed from abnormal to normal, the main controller obtains the charging demand of the energy storage power supply, and converts the inverter drive signal and the charging drive signal level according to the charging demand, so that multiple inverter switches (S1, S2, S3, S4) and charging switches (K21, K22, K31, K32) are set to the working state, and the charging switch is controlled to first close the pre-charge control switch (K21, K22), and after the voltage of the second filter capacitor C3 is stable, the pre-charge control switch (K21, K22) is disconnected, and then the charging switch (K31, K32) is closed; and an enable signal EN is generated for each control unit, each control unit receives and responds to the enable signal EN, and closes the drive switch (Q1 or Q2) according to the enable signal EN, and charges the energy storage power supply through the power grid Grid.

[0052] It should be emphasized that the sequential control principle of the driving switch (Q1 or Q2), the inverter switch (S1, S2, S3, S4) and the charging switch (K21, K22, K31, K32) during the charging process is the same as the control principle during the discharging process, and will not be repeated here.

[0057] In another embodiment of the present application, if the control unit determines that any power supply operation information is abnormal, the driving switch in the corresponding micro power unit in working state is first disconnected, and then the plurality of the inverter switches and the discharge switch or charging switch in working state are disconnected through the main controller, including: the control unit disconnects the driving switch in the corresponding charging and discharging electronic unit in working state, and generates a power supply fault signal according to the power supply operation information, and sends the power supply fault signal to the main controller, the main controller responds to the power supply fault signal, and disconnects the inverter switch working in each inverter sub-unit, the discharge switch working in the load unit, or the charging switch working in the charging unit. Combined with Figure 7-Figure 8When any control unit determines that the collected power operation information is abnormal, the control unit first disconnects the driving switch (Q1 or Q2) in the charging and discharging electronic unit that is in a working state according to the abnormal power operation information, and then generates a power fault signal F_VCC according to the abnormal power operation information, and sends the collected power operation information and the power fault signal F_VCC to the main controller through CAN communication (Controller Area Network). The main controller receives and responds to the power failure signal F_VCC, and determines whether the energy storage power supply is currently in a charging state or a discharging state. When the energy storage power supply is in a discharging state, the inverter drive signal and the discharge drive signal are converted in level according to the power failure signal F_VCC, and the inverter switch (S1, S2, S3, S4) in the working state in each inverter sub-unit is disconnected by the inverter drive signal, and the discharge switch (K11, K12) in the working state in the load unit is disconnected by the discharge drive signal; when the energy storage power supply is in a charging state, the inverter drive signal and the charging drive signal are converted in level according to the power failure signal F_VCC, and the inverter switch (S1, S2, S3, S4) in the working state in each inverter sub-unit is disconnected by the inverter drive signal, and the charging switch (K21, K22, K31, K32) in the working state in the charging unit is disconnected by the charging drive signal, thereby shutting down the energy storage power supply.

[0058] In another embodiment of the present application, if the main controller determines that the load operation information is abnormal, the main controller first disconnects multiple inverter switches and discharge switches, and then disconnects the driving switches in the multiple micro power units in working state through multiple control units, including: the main controller disconnects the inverter switch in each inverter sub-unit and the discharge switch in the load unit, and generates a load fault signal according to the load operation information, sends the load fault signal to each control unit, and each control unit responds to the load fault signal and disconnects the driving switch in the working state in each charging and discharging electronic unit. Figure 7-Figure 8 When the main controller determines that the collected load operation information is abnormal, the main controller first converts the inverter drive signal and the discharge drive signal according to the abnormal load operation information, disconnects the inverter switch (S1, S2, S3, S4) in the working state in each inverter sub-unit through the inverter drive signal, and disconnects the discharge switch (K11, K12) in the working state in the load unit through the discharge drive signal; then generates a load fault signal F_L according to the abnormal load operation information, and transmits the collected load operation information and the load fault signal F_L to each control unit through CAN communication (Controller Area Network), the control unit receives and responds to the load fault signal F_L, converts the drive signal according to the load fault signal F_L, and disconnects the drive switch (Q1 or Q2) in the working state in each charging and discharging electronic unit.

[0059] In another embodiment of the present application, the main controller determines that the charging operation information is abnormal, and then disconnects multiple inverter switches and charging switches through the main controller, and then disconnects the driving switches in the working state in multiple micro power units through multiple control units, including: the main controller disconnects the inverter switch in each inverter sub-unit and the charging switch in the charging unit, and generates a charging fault signal according to the charging operation information, sends the charging fault signal to each control unit, and each control unit responds to the charging fault signal and disconnects the driving switch working in each charging and discharging electronic unit. Specifically, in combination Figure 7-Figure 8 When the main controller determines that the collected charging operation information is abnormal, the main controller first converts the level of the inverter drive signal and the charging drive signal according to the abnormal charging operation information, disconnects the inverter switch (S1, S2, S3, S4) in the working state in each inverter sub-unit through the inverter drive signal, and disconnects the charging switch (K21, K22, K31, K32) in the working state in the load unit through the charging drive signal; then generates a charging fault signal F_W according to the abnormal charging operation information, and transmits the collected charging operation information and the charging fault signal F_W to each control unit through CAN communication (Controller Area Network), the control unit receives and responds to the charging fault signal F_W, converts the level of the drive signal according to the charging fault signal F_W, and disconnects the driving switch (Q1 or Q2) in the working state in each charging and discharging electronic unit.

[0060] It should be noted that the control unit is a unit that controls each micro power unit one by one, and the main controller is the master control switch of the protection circuit of the energy storage power supply, which is responsible for controlling all micro power units, load units and charging units. Figure 8 As shown, when the protection circuit of the energy storage power supply is started, the main controller obtains the start signal, and the main controller sends a working signal to all the inverter switches, so that some of the inverter switches are in a working state; after the main controller is started, it also sends a WakeUP wake-up instruction to the control unit of each micro power unit to activate the control unit so that each control unit is awakened and establishes CAN communication with the main controller; thereafter, the control unit first sends a drive signal to the second drive switch Q2, and forms a pre-charging loop through the battery pack Vbat, the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, the second drive switch Q2, and the first capacitor C1, so that the battery pack Vbat pre-charges the first capacitor C1 to protect the capacitor C1 from being damaged by the impact current. When the voltage on both sides of the first capacitor C1 is stable, the control unit detects that the voltage on both ends of the first capacitor C1 reaches the preset capacitance value, and then sends a drive control signal to disconnect the second drive switch Q2 and close the first drive switch Q1, and the battery pack Vbat discharges normally.

[0061] Under normal working conditions, the control unit is responsible for collecting the power supply operation information of the corresponding micro power unit, uploading the collected power supply operation information to the main controller, and calculating the corresponding charge state of the battery pack; at the same time, the main controller collects the load operation information of the load unit and the charging operation information of the charging unit, and also controls the inverter switch of each micro power unit, the discharge switch of the load unit and the charging switch of the charging unit.

[0062] It should be noted that when the main controller determines that the power supply operation information, load operation information and charging operation information of the energy storage power supply are restored from the abnormal state, the main controller obtains the charging and discharging state before the abnormality, and restores the working state of the energy storage power supply according to the charging and discharging state before the abnormality. If the energy storage power supply is in the discharging state before the abnormality, the main controller first closes the inverter switch (S1, S2, S3, S4) of each inverter sub-unit part and the discharge switch (K11, K12) in the discharge unit, and then closes the drive switch (Q1 and Q2) in each charging and discharging electronic unit in sequence; if the energy storage power supply is in the charging state before the abnormality, the main controller first closes the inverter switch (S1, S2, S3, S4) of each inverter sub-unit part and the charging switch (K21, K22, K31, K32) in the charging unit, and then closes the drive switch (Q1 and Q2) in each charging and discharging electronic unit in sequence. Among them, the closing order of the charging switch in the charging unit is to first close the pre-charge control switch (K21, K22), and after the voltage of the second filter capacitor C3 is stable, disconnect the pre-charge control switch (K21, K22), and then close the charging switch (K31, K32).
