This device requires the energy storage PCS controller to be installed on the device for testing, but there is no structure to fix the PCS controller, so the vibration of the device may cause the connection between the PCS controller and the device to loosen. At the same time, when the device moves, the PCS controller may shake on the device, causing the controller to be bumped. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed an energy storage PCS test device. Summary of the invention
