During the startup process of the high-voltage integrated cabinet, due to the presence of DC bus capacitors inside the energy storage converter, the DC contactor is directly attracted, resulting in severe overcurrent. In order to solve this problem, a corresponding soft start circuit needs to be set.

The repeated design of this soft start circuit will increase the soft start resistance, thereby prolonging the soft start time (of course, the design of multiple soft starts also means that it is necessary to determine whether the soft start is completed multiple times, which will also prolong the soft start time accordingly).

[0007] Optionally, a second soft start circuit is further connected to both sides of the second switch, and the second soft start circuit is provided with a fourth switch and a second resistor in sequence in the direction from the DC isolation switch to the power conversion unit.

[0008] Optionally, the first switch and the first soft start circuit are both electrically connected to the power conversion unit via a first fuse;

[0009] And / or, a second fuse is further provided between the second switch and the power conversion unit.

[0010] Optionally, a DC detection point is further provided on the positive line between the DC isolating switch and the gating module.

[0011] Optionally, a Hall sensor is connected to the DC detection point.

[0012] Optionally, the switch tube is a diode, wherein an anode of the diode is electrically connected to the third switch, and a cathode of the diode is electrically connected to the first resistor.

[0013] Optionally, the high-voltage integrated cabinet further includes a controller, and control output terminals of the controller are electrically connected to the high-voltage distribution box, the energy storage converter and the AC isolating switch, respectively.

[0035] If the pre-charging on the battery side is not completed, continue to detect until the pre-charging is completed; if the pre-charging on the battery side is completed, the soft start is completed and the first switch K1 is closed. At this time, the power conversion unit performs power conversion output, that is, the high-voltage integrated cabinet officially enters the working state, and can provide AC power to the external power consumption side to achieve efficient energy conversion and distribution.

[0036] In one embodiment, a high-voltage integrated cabinet is provided, which can control the soft start of the high-voltage integrated cabinet only by setting a soft start circuit in the high-voltage distribution box, which not only reduces the configuration cost of the soft start of the high-voltage integrated cabinet, but also avoids the increase in the soft start time caused by increasing the soft start resistance, that is, the time required for the soft start of the high-voltage integrated cabinet is reduced (and there is no need to perform soft start logic control on the energy storage inverter side, which also reduces the soft start time accordingly), thereby improving the operating efficiency of the high-voltage integrated cabinet.

[0037] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, referring to Figure 1 or Figure 3 , the first switch K1 is electrically connected to the first resistor R1 and the power conversion unit respectively through the first fuse B1;

[0038] And / or, a second fuse B2 is further provided between the second switch K2 and the power conversion unit.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first switch K1 and the first soft start circuit are electrically connected to the power conversion unit through the first fuse B1, which can provide additional protection measures to prevent damage to the equipment when the circuit is overloaded or short-circuited, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of the system.

[0040] And / or, a second fuse B2 is further provided between the second switch K2 and the power conversion unit, which can provide additional protection measures to prevent damage to the equipment when the circuit is overloaded or short-circuited, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of the system.

[0041] The setting of these fuses helps to ensure the long-term stable operation of the high-voltage integrated cabinet.

[0042] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, referring to Figure 3 A second soft start circuit is also connected to both sides of the second switch. The second soft start circuit is provided with a fourth switch K4 and a second resistor R2 in sequence in the direction from the DC isolation switch to the power conversion unit.

[0043] In this embodiment, the gating module is provided with a second switch K2 and a second soft start circuit in parallel on the negative line between the DC isolating switch and the power conversion unit.

[0044] Optionally, the second switch K2 is used to control the on / off of one branch of the negative electrode circuit of the gating module to ensure the accuracy of the current flow direction.

[0045] Optionally, the second soft start circuit is arranged on another branch of the negative line of the gating module; the second soft start circuit comprises a fourth switch K4 and a second resistor R2, which are used to realize the soft start function. The fourth switch K4 is used to control the start and stop of the second soft start circuit, and the second resistor R2 is used to limit the current to protect the device from overload and power loss.

[0046] Optional, see Figure 4 The following takes the startup logic of the high-voltage integrated cabinet as an example to explain the working process of the high-voltage integrated cabinet:

[0047] First, after the DC isolation switch is turned off, determine whether the DC side insulation test is completed (at this time, the first switch K1, the second switch K2, the third switch K3 and the fourth switch K4 are all disconnected). If not completed, continue the test; if completed, close the third switch K3 and the fourth switch K4 so that the DC power provided by the battery side can flow to the energy storage converter PCS, and further determine whether the pre-charging of the battery side is completed (which can be determined by the voltage across the first switch K1). The purpose of pre-charging is to charge the battery to an appropriate voltage level before formal startup to reduce the impact during startup and protect the system.

[0048] If the pre-charging on the battery side is not completed, continue to detect until the pre-charging is completed; if the pre-charging on the battery side is completed, the soft start is completed, and the first switch K1 and the second switch K2 are closed. At this time, the power conversion unit performs power conversion output, that is, the high-voltage integrated cabinet officially enters the working state, and can provide AC power to the external power consumption side to achieve efficient energy conversion and distribution.

[0049] In this way, it is also possible to control the soft start of the high-voltage integrated cabinet by simply setting up a soft start circuit in the high-voltage distribution box, thereby reducing the time required for the soft start of the high-voltage integrated cabinet (i.e., there is no need to perform soft start logic control on the energy storage inverter side, which correspondingly reduces the soft start time), thereby improving the operating efficiency of the high-voltage integrated cabinet.

Switch circuit breakers usually have fast response and efficient power-off performance, which can effectively deal with various circuit abnormalities and improve the reliability and safety of the system.

[0053] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, referring to Figure 1 or Figure 3 A DC detection point J is also provided on the positive line between the DC isolating switch and the gating module. The current value detected by the DC detection point J can be used to determine whether the DC side insulation detection is completed.

[0054] Optionally, the DC detection point J is connected to a Hall sensor. By utilizing the characteristics of the Hall sensor, the current can be measured by detecting the magnetic field, thereby realizing the monitoring of the current in the circuit. The use of the Hall sensor as the access method of the DC detection point J has the advantages of accuracy, fast response and non-contact, can provide reliable current measurement, and will not generate additional load or impact on the circuit. Such a design can effectively enhance the monitoring function of the system, ensure that the abnormal current is detected in time during operation, and further improve the safety and stability of the system.

[0055] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, the switch tube D is a diode, wherein the anode of the diode is electrically connected to the third switch K3, and the cathode of the diode is electrically connected to the first resistor R1.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the third switch K3 is closed, the diode is turned on, so that the current in the circuit can flow through the first resistor R1, thereby achieving stable control and management of the circuit. As a choice of the switch tube D, the diode has the characteristics of low cost, simplicity and reliability.

[0057] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, the high-voltage integrated cabinet also includes a controller (not shown in the figure), and the control output ends of the controller are electrically connected to the high-voltage distribution box, the energy storage inverter and the AC isolating switch respectively.
