[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0045] The battery control unit uses the BCU series battery control chip. The main power supply circuit is connected to the PWR+ and PWR- interfaces of the battery control unit; the energy storage circuit is connected to the BAT+, BAT-, HV_CH1, and HV_CH2 interfaces of the battery control unit.
[0046] The battery control unit is used to sample shunt signals, provide main circuit status feedback, control the opening and closing of the main circuit and pre-charge circuit, provide alarm, fault, operation and warning prompts, implement alarm trip lock, monitor copper busbar temperature in real time and maintain communication; the main control power supply circuit is used to supply the battery control unit with the voltage required for operation; the energy storage circuit is used to store and release electrical energy.
[0047] The main control power supply circuit includes a power conversion device and a miniature circuit breaker 203 .
[0048] The miniature circuit breaker 203 has four interfaces, which are marked as interface A, interface B, interface C and interface D respectively.
[0049] The power conversion device converts the input power voltage to the operating voltage required by the battery control unit, ensuring stable operation under various power conditions. Miniature circuit breaker 203 provides a rapid power cutoff function in the main control power supply circuit. In emergency situations, such as a battery control unit failure or when a rapid power outage is required, miniature circuit breaker 203 can quickly cut off power to protect the circuit and personnel.

[0051] The energy storage circuit includes a main circuit switch 202 , a pre-charge circuit switch 201 , a resistor R101 , a fuse FU102 , and a shunt FL103 .
[0052] The main circuit switch 202 has four interfaces, which are marked as interface E, interface F, interface G and interface H respectively; the pre-charge circuit switch 201 has four interfaces, which are marked as interface I, interface J, interface K and interface L respectively.
[0053] The main circuit switches 202 control the connection between the positive and negative poles of the energy storage circuit and the power supply, controlling the storage and release of electrical energy. When the energy storage system needs to be charged or discharged, the two switches will close, allowing electrical energy to flow between the power supply and the energy storage device.
[0054] Pre-charge circuit switch 201 is used to pre-charge the system through resistor R101 when the energy storage system is started or reconnected to the power source, preventing damage to circuit components due to sudden high current surges. The pre-charge process reduces the voltage difference between battery clusters and ensures a safe startup of the system.
[0055] Resistor R101 limits the current during pre-charging, protecting the circuit from excessive current. Fuse FU102, located on the positive side of the tank circuit, provides overcurrent protection. When the current exceeds a certain threshold, it blows to protect the circuit. Shunt FL103, located on the negative side of the tank circuit, collects the loop current.
[0056] The interface G of the main circuit switch 202 is connected to the positive pole of the power supply, and the interface E of the main circuit switch 202 is connected to the fuse FU102. The other end of the fuse FU102 is the positive pole of the energy storage end;

The BCU is grounded via the EARTH port.
[0064] In this embodiment, the PWR+ interface and the PWR- interface are used to connect to the main control power supply circuit to provide the voltage required for the battery control unit to operate. PWR+ receives a positive voltage, while PWR- receives a negative voltage or ground voltage.
[0065] The BAT+ and BAT- interfaces connect to the positive and negative terminals of the energy storage circuit and are used to monitor and control the voltage and current of the energy storage circuit. Through these interfaces, the battery control unit can obtain the real-time status of the energy storage circuit and implement corresponding control strategies.
[0066] The HV_CH1 and HV_CH2 interfaces are connected to the main circuit switch 202 of the energy storage circuit to control the opening and closing of the main circuit. Through these two interfaces, the battery control unit can achieve precise control of the charging and discharging process of the energy storage circuit.
[0067] The I- and I+ interfaces are used to control the shunt signal sampling and collect the loop current.
[0068] The DI01 interface is used to implement alarm trip lockout. When a serious system failure or emergency shutdown is required, the battery control unit can use this interface to perform trip lockout operations. The DI02 interface is used to obtain alarm feedback. When a system failure or abnormality occurs, the battery control unit can use this interface to receive alarm signals. The DI04 interface is used to obtain main circuit status feedback, helping the battery control unit understand the current status of the main circuit.

The H_OUT8 interface is another interface for obtaining fault feedback, providing additional fault information.
[0070] The IP1, IM1, IP2, and IM2 interfaces are used for daisy-chain communication, enabling data exchange and synchronization between battery control units. The 485A1, 485B1, 485A2, and 485B2 interfaces are used for 485 communication, supporting data communication between the battery control unit and other devices. The CHG_CANH and CHG_CANL interfaces are used for CAN bus communication, supporting data exchange between the battery control unit and the charging system. The VE_CANH and VE_CANL interfaces are used for CAN communication debugging, helping engineers test and debug the battery control unit's CAN communication functions.
[0071] The RT3, RT4, and RT- interfaces are used to monitor the copper busbar temperature in real time to ensure the safe operation of the energy storage system. The EARTH port is used for grounding to ensure the safe operation of the battery control unit and prevent static electricity and electromagnetic interference.
[0072] In this embodiment, the power-on process of the high-voltage box circuit of the energy storage system is as follows: after the power-on command is issued, the pre-charge circuit is closed, and when the pressure difference meets the threshold, the main circuit is closed, and then the pre-charge circuit is disconnected.
