[0021] According to an embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:

[0022] When the battery meets the unallowable overload condition, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is controlled to be the set value.

[0023] In the technical solution, when the battery meets the unallowable overload condition, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is controlled to be the set value, the battery works in a normal range, and the safety and reliability of the battery are improved.

[0048] In the above technical solution, by detecting the average cell voltage, state of charge, and cell temperature of the battery, it is determined whether the allowable overload conditions are met. This can reduce the occurrence of over-discharge and overheating of the battery, enabling the battery to achieve short-term overload, increasing the possibility of instantaneous successful start-up of the inverter when connected to a high-power load, and improving the battery's service life and safety.

[0049] According to one embodiment of this application, the battery overload includes: the absolute value of the difference between the real-time current of the battery and the set value of the rated current of the battery or the maximum allowable discharge current is greater than or equal to a fifth threshold.

[0050] In the above technical solution, the absolute value of the difference between the real-time current of the battery and the set value of the rated current or the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold to determine whether the battery is overloaded.

[0053] In the above technical solution, when the battery does not meet the allowable overload conditions and does not meet the non-allowable overload conditions, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is kept constant, which reduces the fluctuation of the current and can improve the stability of the energy storage system.

[0054] According to one embodiment of this application, the battery management module is further configured to:

[0055] When the battery meets the condition that it is not allowed to overload, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is controlled to the set value.

[0056] In the above technical solution, when the battery meets the conditions that do not allow overload, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is controlled to a set value, so that the battery works within the normal range, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the battery.

[0057] According to one embodiment of this application, the unacceptable overload condition includes at least one of the following:

This can reduce the occurrence of over-discharge and overheating of the battery, and improve the battery's service life and safety.

[0063] According to one embodiment of this application, the battery management module is further configured to:

[0064] When the interval between the current time of battery overload and the last time of battery overload is less than a second preset time, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is set to the preset value.

[0065] In the above technical solution, if the interval between the current time of battery overload and the time of the last time of battery overload is less than the second preset time, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is set to a set value, or the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is prohibited from being increased to the overload value. This can reduce the damage to the battery caused by frequent battery overload and improve the battery's service life and safety.

[0066] According to one embodiment of this application, the overload value is determined based on the cell capacity and overload power requirement.

[0067] In the above technical solution, determining the overload value based on the cell capacity and overload power requirements can improve the stability of the energy storage system.

[0069] In the above technical solution, when the battery experiences overload and the overload duration reaches a first preset time, the inverter is controlled to ensure that the battery-side current of the inverter does not exceed the set value of the maximum allowable discharge current. This adds independent protection logic to both the battery and the inverter, providing dual protection for the energy storage system.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0087] In this application, the reference to "embodiment" means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this application can be combined with other embodiments.

[0088] The energy storage system overload control method provided in this application embodiment can be executed by an electronic device or a functional module or entity in an electronic device that can implement the energy storage system overload control method. The electronic devices mentioned in this application embodiment include, but are not limited to, controllers, processors, edge servers, backend servers, cloud servers, etc. in the energy storage system. The energy storage system overload control method provided in this application embodiment is described below using an electronic device as the execution subject as an example.

[0089] The overload control method, device, and energy storage system provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0090] Figure 1 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of an energy storage system provided in some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the energy storage system 100 includes a battery 101 and an inverter 102. The battery 101 is connected to the load 104 and the power grid 103 through the inverter 102.

[0091] Energy storage system 100 is a household electricity storage device that can be used in conjunction with a solar photovoltaic system. It stores electrical energy to provide power to the household. The inverter 102 of energy storage system 100 converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The battery 101 of energy storage system 100 is used for charging and discharging. When the voltage of battery 101 cannot directly meet the household's usage requirements, the inverter 102 is used to charge and discharge battery 101, thereby managing the battery's power capacity.

[0092] In related technologies, when the inverter 102 of the energy storage system 100 is connected to the load 104 at the moment of startup, it may require high power support. If the rated power of the battery 101 cannot meet the startup power of the load 104, the load 104 may fail to start. The existing energy storage system 100 has the problem of not being able to support short-term overload and the inverter 102 being prone to startup failure when connected to a high-power load 104, which brings many inconveniences to the actual application of energy storage control.

[0093] Figure 2This is one of the flowcharts illustrating an overload control method for an energy storage system provided in some embodiments of this application. The energy storage system includes a battery and an inverter. The battery supplies power to the load through the inverter, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the overload control method for the energy storage system includes steps 210, 220 and 230.

[0094] It should be noted that the energy storage system overload control method provided in this application embodiment can be implemented by an energy storage system overload control device. The energy storage system overload control device includes a battery management module and an inverter control module. The battery management module communicates with the inverter control module. The battery management module is used to monitor and manage the battery, and the inverter control module is used to control the inverter.

[0095] Step 210: Determine the set value of the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery;

[0096] It is easy to understand that the maximum allowable discharge current of a battery is set to the maximum allowable discharge current when the battery is working normally.

[0097] Step 220: When the battery meets the allowable overload conditions, increase the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery from the set value to the overload value;

[0098] If the battery meets the allowable overload conditions, the battery management module will increase the battery's maximum allowable discharge current from the set value to the overload value.

[0099] Optionally, the permissible overload condition can be that the cell voltage, battery capacity, minimum cell temperature, and maximum cell temperature all meet preset conditions simultaneously, thereby determining that the battery meets the permissible overload condition.

[0100] Step 230: Transmit the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery to the inverter so that the battery-side current of the inverter does not exceed the overload value.

[0101] The transmission of the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery to the inverter can be understood as follows: the battery management module communicates with the inverter's control module in real time, the battery management module transmits the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery to the inverter's control module, and the inverter's control module transmits the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery to the inverter, so that the inverter can obtain the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery.

[0102] It should be noted that during the process of the inverter drawing power from the battery side, it will control the battery side current to not exceed the maximum allowable discharge current transmitted by the battery management module. When the battery is allowed to overload, the maximum allowable discharge current will be increased. At this time, when the load is connected to the inverter load port and the inverter is started, if a large power is required, it can be directly drawn from the battery side without any other additional communication.

[0103] In the above technical solution, by raising the set value of the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery to the overload value when the battery of the energy storage system meets the allowable overload conditions, and transmitting the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery to the inverter, the inverter can control the current during the process of drawing power from the battery side to not exceed the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery without adding additional information interaction about overload. This achieves logical decoupling between the battery and the inverter, and achieves short-term overload of the battery by limiting the maximum allowable discharge current, thereby increasing the possibility of instantaneous successful start-up of the inverter when connected to a high-power load.

[0104] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: when the battery is overloaded and the overload duration reaches a first preset duration, adjusting the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery to the set value.

[0105] It is easy to understand that when the battery meets the allowable overload conditions, the battery management module raises the set value of the battery's maximum allowable discharge current to the overload value. In order to prevent the battery from being damaged by continuous overload, the timing starts when the battery is overloaded. When the battery's overload duration reaches the first preset duration, the battery management module adjusts the battery's maximum allowable discharge current to the set value, that is, the duration of a single overload does not exceed the first preset duration.

[0106] For example, the first preset duration is 10 seconds, starting from when the battery becomes overloaded. When the battery overload duration reaches 10 seconds, the battery management module adjusts the battery's maximum allowable discharge current to the battery's set value.

[0107] In the above technical solution, when the battery is overloaded and the overload duration reaches the first preset time, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is adjusted to the set value, which can reduce the damage to the battery caused by continuous overload and improve the battery's service life and safety.

[0108] In one embodiment of this application, determining the set value of the maximum permissible discharge current of the battery includes:

[0109] The maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is set based on the current limiting matrix of the battery or the rated current of the battery.

[0110] It is easy to understand that the maximum allowable discharge current setting of the battery can be obtained by looking up the table according to the battery's current limiting matrix. The maximum allowable discharge current setting of the battery indicates the maximum current value that the battery can safely withstand during discharge. Exceeding this value may damage the battery and affect its lifespan and safety.

[0111] It should be noted that in energy storage systems, the current limiting matrix can determine the battery's operating safety and efficiency under different load conditions. The battery's current limiting matrix is ​​a table or chart used to describe the battery's maximum discharge current and charging current under different operating conditions. Based on the current limiting matrix, the battery's safety and performance limitations under various operating states can be determined.

[0112] Optionally, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery can be set according to the battery's rated current. For example, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery can be set to the value of the rated current.

[0113] In the above technical solution, determining the maximum allowable discharge current setting of the battery based on the battery's current limiting matrix or the battery's rated current can reduce battery damage and improve battery life and safety.

[0114] In one embodiment of this application, the battery satisfies the permissible overload conditions, including: the average cell voltage of the battery is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the state of charge of the battery is greater than or equal to a second threshold, the lowest cell temperature of the battery is greater than or equal to a third threshold, and the highest cell temperature of the battery is less than or equal to a fourth threshold.

[0115] It is easy to understand that in order to reduce the occurrence of over-discharge and overheating of the battery, the battery must meet the following overload conditions: the average voltage of the corresponding cell is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the state of charge of the battery is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the minimum temperature of the corresponding cell is greater than or equal to the third threshold, and the maximum temperature of the corresponding cell is less than or equal to the fourth threshold.

[0116] It should be noted that a battery includes a battery pack, which consists of multiple cells. The average cell voltage represents the average voltage of all cells, the lowest cell temperature represents the lowest temperature of all cells, and the highest cell temperature represents the highest temperature of all cells.

[0117] For example, the first threshold is 3.1V, the second threshold is 30%, the third threshold is 20 degrees Celsius, and the fourth threshold is 40 degrees Celsius. When the average cell voltage of the battery is greater than or equal to 3.1V, the state of charge of the battery is greater than or equal to 30%, the lowest cell temperature of the battery is greater than or equal to 20 degrees Celsius, and the highest cell temperature of the battery is less than or equal to 40 degrees Celsius, the battery is determined to meet the allowable overload conditions, and the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is increased from the set value to the overload value.

[0118] It should be noted that the first threshold, the second threshold, the third threshold, and the fourth threshold can be set according to the characteristics of the battery cell or product requirements, and this application embodiment does not impose any restrictions.

[0119] In the above technical solution, by detecting the average cell voltage, state of charge, and cell temperature of the battery, it is determined whether the allowable overload conditions are met. This can reduce the occurrence of over-discharge and overheating of the battery, enabling the battery to achieve short-term overload, increasing the possibility of instantaneous successful start-up of the inverter when connected to a high-power load, and improving the battery's service life and safety.

[0120] In one embodiment of this application, the battery overload includes: the absolute value of the difference between the real-time current of the battery and the set value of the rated current of the battery or the maximum allowable discharge current is greater than or equal to a fifth threshold.

[0121] It should be noted that the battery can determine whether it is overloaded by its own current value. When the absolute value of the difference between the real-time current of the battery and the set value of the rated current or the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold, the battery is determined to be overloaded.

[0122] For example, the rated current of a battery is Cmax. The rated current is the optimal current for the battery under normal operating conditions. Working at this current for a long time can ensure the performance and lifespan of the battery. The fifth threshold is 2A. When the absolute value of the difference between the real-time current of the battery and the rated current of the battery is greater than or equal to 2A, it is determined that the battery is overloaded.

[0123] It is worth noting that the fifth threshold can be set with reference to the current sampling accuracy and current fluctuation, and this application embodiment does not impose any restrictions.

[0124] In the above technical solution, the absolute value of the difference between the real-time current of the battery and the set value of the rated current or the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold to determine whether the battery is overloaded. This can improve the accuracy and practicality of battery overload judgment, enable the battery to achieve short-term overload, and increase the possibility of instantaneous successful start-up of the inverter when connected to a high-power load.

[0125] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0126] When the battery does not meet the permissible overload condition and does not meet the non-permissible overload condition, the maximum permissible discharge current of the battery is controlled to remain unchanged.

[0127] It is easy to understand that if the battery does not meet the allowable overload conditions or the non-allowable overload conditions, keeping the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery constant can reduce the fluctuation of the battery.

[0128] In the above technical solution, when the battery does not meet the allowable overload conditions and does not meet the non-allowable overload conditions, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is kept constant, which reduces the fluctuation of the current and can improve the stability of the energy storage system.

[0129] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0130] When the battery meets the condition that it is not allowed to overload, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is controlled to the set value.

[0131] Optionally, when the battery meets the allowable overload conditions, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is increased from the set value to the overload value; when the battery does not meet the allowable overload conditions, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is reduced from the overload value to the set value.

[0132] Optionally, if the battery consistently meets the overload-prohibited conditions, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery can be controlled to a set value.

[0133] In the above technical solution, when the battery meets the conditions that do not allow overload, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is controlled to a set value, so that the battery works within the normal range, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the battery.

[0134] In one embodiment of this application, the overload-prohibited condition includes at least one of the following:

[0135] The average cell voltage of the battery is less than or equal to the sixth threshold.

[0136] The state of charge of the battery is less than or equal to the seventh threshold.

[0137] The lowest temperature of the battery cell is less than or equal to the eighth threshold.

[0138] The highest temperature of the battery cell is greater than or equal to the ninth threshold.

[0139] It is easy to understand that the conditions under which overload is not allowed include at least one of the following: the average cell voltage of the battery is less than or equal to the sixth threshold; the state of charge of the battery is less than or equal to the seventh threshold; the lowest cell temperature of the battery is less than or equal to the eighth threshold; and the highest cell temperature of the battery is greater than or equal to the ninth threshold.

[0140] For example, the sixth threshold is 3V, the seventh threshold is 19%, the eighth threshold is 19 degrees Celsius, and the ninth threshold is 41 degrees Celsius. When the detected battery meets at least one of the following conditions: the average cell voltage of the battery is less than or equal to 3V, the state of charge of the battery is less than or equal to 29%, the lowest cell temperature of the battery is less than or equal to 19°C, and the highest cell temperature of the battery is greater than or equal to 41°C, the battery is not allowed to be overloaded.

[0141] Figure 3 This is a second schematic flowchart of an energy storage system overload control method provided in some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 3As shown, MDCV is the maximum allowable discharge current, Coverload is the overload value of the maximum allowable discharge current, SOC is the state of charge of the battery, Tmin is the lowest temperature of the corresponding cell, and Tmax is the highest temperature of the corresponding cell. Taking the first threshold as 3.1V, the second threshold as 30%, the third threshold as 20 degrees Celsius, the fourth threshold as 40 degrees Celsius, the sixth threshold as 3V, the seventh threshold as 29%, the eighth threshold as 19 degrees Celsius, and the ninth threshold as 41 degrees Celsius as an example, when the average cell voltage of the corresponding battery is greater than or equal to 3.1V, the state of charge of the battery is greater than or equal to 30%, the lowest temperature of the corresponding cell Tmin is greater than or equal to 20 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature of the corresponding cell Tmax is less than or equal to 40 degrees Celsius, it is determined that the battery of the energy storage system meets the allowable overload conditions, and the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is set as the overload value. At this time, MDCV = Coverload.

[0142] When at least one of the following is detected: the average cell voltage of the battery is less than or equal to 3V, the state of charge (SOC) of the battery is less than or equal to 29%, the minimum cell temperature of the battery is less than or equal to 19°C, or the maximum cell temperature of the battery is equal to or equal to 41°C, the battery is not allowed to be overloaded. In this case, the maximum allowable discharge current setting value of the battery is determined according to the battery's current limiting matrix or the battery's rated current.

[0143] When a battery is detected to not meet at least one of the following conditions: the average cell voltage is less than or equal to 3V, the state of charge (SOC) is less than or equal to 29%, the minimum cell temperature is less than or equal to 19°C, or the maximum cell temperature is greater than or equal to 41°C, the MDCV state is kept unchanged, thereby reducing the fluctuation of the maximum allowable discharge current.

[0144] In the above technical solution, by setting the battery overload condition, when the battery meets at least one of the following conditions: the average cell voltage of the battery is less than or equal to the sixth threshold, the state of charge of the battery is less than or equal to the seventh threshold, the minimum cell temperature of the battery is less than or equal to the eighth threshold, and the maximum cell temperature of the battery is greater than or equal to the ninth threshold, the battery is not allowed to be overloaded. This can reduce the occurrence of over-discharge and overheating of the battery, and improve the battery's service life and safety.

[0145] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0146] When the interval between the current time of battery overload and the last time of battery overload is less than a second preset time, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is set to the preset value.

[0147] It is easy to understand that frequent battery overload can affect battery performance and reduce battery life. If the interval between the current overload and the last overload is less than the second preset time, the battery is not allowed to be overloaded, and the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is set to the set value.

[0148] If the time interval between the current time of battery overload and the time of the last time of overload is greater than or equal to the second preset time, battery overload is allowed, and the energy storage system increases the battery's maximum allowable discharge current from the set value to the overload value.

[0149] For example, the second preset duration is 30 minutes. If the interval between the current time of battery overload and the last time of battery overload is less than 30 minutes, battery overload is not allowed, and the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is set to the set value.

[0150] In the above technical solution, when the interval between the current time of battery overload and the last time of battery overload is less than the second preset time, setting the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery to a set value can reduce the damage to the battery caused by frequent battery overload and improve the battery's service life and safety.

[0151] In one embodiment of this application, the overload value is determined based on the cell capacity and overload power requirement.

[0152] It is easy to understand that the overload value of the battery's maximum allowable discharge current can be determined based on the cell's capacity and overload power requirements.

[0153] In the above technical solution, determining the overload value based on the cell capacity and overload power requirements can improve the stability of the energy storage system.

[0154] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0155] When the battery is overloaded and the overload duration reaches a first preset duration, the inverter is controlled to ensure that the battery-side current of the inverter does not exceed the set value of the maximum allowable discharge current.

[0156] It's easy to understand that the inverter's control module communicates with the battery management module in real time during operation, obtaining the battery's maximum allowable discharge current from the battery management module. Furthermore, during the inverter's power intake from the battery, the control module ensures that the battery-side current does not exceed the maximum allowable discharge current transmitted by the battery management module. When the battery is allowed to overload, the maximum allowable discharge current increases from the set value to the overload value. Therefore, if a high power is needed at the moment of inverter startup with a load connected to the load port, it can be directly drawn from the battery without any additional communication.

[0157] To prevent damage to the inverter from prolonged high current, the inverter's control module obtains the time when the battery is overloaded from the energy storage system's battery management module. When the overload duration reaches the first preset duration, the control module controls the inverter to ensure that the inverter's battery-side current does not exceed the set value of the maximum allowable discharge current.

[0158] For example, if the first preset duration is 10 seconds, when the battery overload duration is detected to reach 10 seconds, even if the battery is allowed to overload, the inverter controls the battery current to not exceed the set value of the maximum allowable discharge current, thereby realizing overload protection logic on the inverter side.

[0159] In the above technical solution, when the battery is overloaded and the overload duration reaches a first preset time, the inverter is controlled so that the battery side current of the inverter does not exceed the set value of the maximum allowable discharge current. This adds protection logic and overload protection logic to the battery and the inverter respectively, and they are independent of each other, thus achieving dual protection for the energy storage system. Even if one of the battery or the inverter fails, it will not cause excessive damage to the energy storage system, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the energy storage system.

[0160] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an overload control device for an energy storage system provided in some embodiments of this application. The energy storage system 100 includes a battery 101 and an inverter 102. The battery 101 supplies power to the load 104 through the inverter 102, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the energy storage system overload control device 40 includes: a battery management module 401,

[0161] The battery management module 401 is used to determine the set value of the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery; when the battery meets the allowable overload conditions, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is increased from the set value to the overload value; and the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is transmitted to the inverter so that the battery-side current of the inverter does not exceed the overload value.

[0162] In the above technical solution, by raising the set value of the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery to the overload value when the battery of the energy storage system meets the allowable overload conditions, and transmitting the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery to the inverter, the inverter can control the current during the process of drawing power from the battery side to not exceed the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery without adding additional information interaction about overload. This achieves logical decoupling between the battery and the inverter, and achieves short-term overload of the battery by limiting the maximum allowable discharge current, thereby increasing the possibility of instantaneous successful start-up of the inverter when connected to a high-power load.

[0163] In one embodiment of this application, the battery management module is further configured to:

[0164] When the battery experiences overload and the overload duration reaches a first preset duration, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is adjusted to the set value.

[0165] In the above technical solution, when the battery is overloaded and the overload duration reaches the first preset time, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is adjusted to the set value, which can reduce the damage to the battery caused by continuous overload and improve the battery's service life and safety.

[0166] In one embodiment of this application, the battery management module is further configured to:

[0167] The maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is set based on the current limiting matrix of the battery or the rated current of the battery.

[0168] In the above technical solution, determining the maximum allowable discharge current setting of the battery based on the battery's current limiting matrix or the battery's rated current can reduce battery damage and improve battery life and safety.

[0170] In the above technical solution, by detecting the average cell voltage, state of charge, and cell temperature of the battery, it is determined whether the allowable overload conditions are met. This can reduce the occurrence of over-discharge and overheating of the battery, enabling the battery to achieve short-term overload, increasing the possibility of instantaneous successful start-up of the inverter when connected to a high-power load, and improving the battery's service life and safety.

[0176] In one embodiment of this application, the battery management module is further configured to:

[0177] When the battery meets the condition that it is not allowed to overload, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is controlled to the set value.

[0178] In the above technical solution, when the battery meets the conditions that do not allow overload, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is controlled to a set value, so that the battery works within the normal range, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the battery.

[0179] In one embodiment of this application, the overload-prohibited condition includes at least one of the following:

[0180] The average cell voltage of the battery is less than or equal to the sixth threshold.

[0181] The state of charge of the battery is less than or equal to the seventh threshold.

[0182] The lowest temperature of the battery cell is less than or equal to the eighth threshold.

[0183] The highest temperature of the battery cell is greater than or equal to the ninth threshold.

This can reduce the occurrence of over-discharge and overheating of the battery, and improve the battery's service life and safety.

[0185] In one embodiment of this application, the battery management module is further configured to:

[0186] When the interval between the current time of battery overload and the time of the last time of overload is less than a second preset time, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is set to the set value, or the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is prohibited from being increased to the overload value.

[0187] In the above technical solution, if the interval between the current time of battery overload and the time of the last time of battery overload is less than the second preset time, the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is set to a set value, or the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery is prohibited from being increased to the overload value. This can reduce the damage to the battery caused by frequent battery overload and improve the battery's service life and safety.

[0192] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the interaction between the battery management module and the control module provided in some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the battery management module 401 is connected to the inverter control module 402, and the battery management module 401 transmits the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery to the inverter control module 402 in real time.

[0193] When the battery meets the allowable overload conditions, the battery management module 401 increases the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery from the set value to the overload value, and transmits the maximum allowable discharge current of the battery to the control module 402 of the inverter. The control module 402 of the inverter controls the inverter so that the battery side current of the inverter does not exceed the overload value.
