This allows the UPS to prevent power outages to critical loads within the container in the event of a 380V AC power failure. However, UPS systems are expensive, typically use lead-acid batteries with short lifespans, and are large, making installation within centralized energy storage containers difficult and consequently increasing installation and maintenance costs.

[0055] This application provides a power supply circuit 100 and an energy storage system. The energy storage system includes the power supply circuit 100. For ease of understanding, this application will first provide a detailed description of the power supply circuit 100.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic block diagram of an energy storage system provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a power supply circuit 100, which includes:

[0057] The first power supply branch 110, one end of which is electrically connected to the mains power supply 400;

[0058] At least one second power supply branch 120, one end of which is electrically connected to the energy storage object 200 of the energy storage system;

[0059] The power redundancy module 130 has its first terminal electrically connected to the other end of the first power supply branch 110, its second terminal electrically connected to the other end of the second power supply branch 120, and its third terminal electrically connected to the load 300 of the energy storage system.

[0060] Specifically, when the mains power 400 fails, the first and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are disconnected, while the second and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are connected, and the energy storage object 200 is configured to supply power to the load 300; when the mains power 400 is not lost, the first and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are connected, while the second and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are disconnected, and the mains power 400 is configured to supply power to the load 300.

[0061] In this embodiment, the power supply branch is located within the energy storage system, which can be embodied in the form of a centralized energy storage container. The first power supply branch 110 is configured as a path for the mains power 400 to supply power to the load 300 of the energy storage system, and the second power supply branch 120 is configured as a path for the energy storage object 200 of the energy storage system to supply power to the load 300 of the energy storage system.

[0062] Specifically, the energy storage object 200 of the energy storage system can be understood as the object that charges and discharges the energy storage system from the outside world. The energy storage object 200 can be one or more of the following: battery cells, battery modules, battery packs, and battery clusters. The mains power 400 can be understood as the general alternating current (AC) power supplied to homes and businesses through the power grid. Mains power 400 typically refers to industrial frequency AC power, with a frequency between 50Hz and 60Hz, and the voltage varies by region. The load 300 of the energy storage system can be understood as the load that controls the charging and discharging of the batteries in the energy storage system. This can be the battery management system of the energy storage system, specifically the slave control unit (BMU), main control unit (BCMU), and master control unit (MBMU) within the battery management system, but is not limited to these.

[0063] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the load 300 of the energy storage system can be a 24V load at the #1 cluster high-voltage box, the #2 cluster high-voltage box, or the #12 cluster high-voltage box, and its load can be 0.08W, such as the slave control board BMU of the battery pack, the main control board BCMU of the high-voltage box, and the 24V control module; in addition, the load 300 of the energy storage system can also be a 24V load at the combiner cabinet, and its load 300 can be 0.2W, such as the water immersion temperature and humidity, the main control board MBMU of the combiner cabinet, and the 24V control module.

[0064] The power redundancy module 130 can be understood as a switch module in the power supply branch. It can control either the mains power 400 or the energy storage object 200 to supply power to the load 300 of the energy storage system. Specifically, when the mains power 400 fails, the first and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are disconnected, and the second and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are connected, and the energy storage object 200 is configured to supply power to the load 300. When the mains power 400 is not lost, the first and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are connected, and the second and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are disconnected, and the mains power 400 is configured to supply power to the load 300.

[0065] The power supply circuit 100 provided in this application includes a first power supply branch 110, at least one second power supply branch 120, and a power redundancy module 130. One end of the first power supply branch 110 is electrically connected to the mains power 400, one end of the second power supply branch 120 is electrically connected to the energy storage object 200 of the energy storage system, the first end of the power redundancy module 130 is electrically connected to the other end of the first power supply branch 110, the second end of the power redundancy module 130 is electrically connected to the other end of the second power supply branch 120, and the third end of the power redundancy module 130 is electrically connected to the load 300 of the energy storage system. When the mains power 400 fails, the power redundancy module 130... When the first and third terminals of the redundant power supply module 130 are disconnected, the second and third terminals of the redundant power supply module 130 are connected, and the energy storage object 200 is configured to supply power to the load 300; when the mains power 400 is not interrupted, the first and third terminals of the redundant power supply module 130 are connected, and the second and third terminals of the redundant power supply module 130 are disconnected, and the mains power 400 is configured to supply power to the load 300. This avoids the need to configure an uninterruptible power supply in the energy storage system while ensuring continuous power supply to the load 300 of the energy storage system, thereby reducing the installation and maintenance costs of the energy storage system.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the mains power 400 is not interrupted, the voltage difference between the voltage output by the first power supply branch 110 and the voltage output by the second power supply branch 120 is greater than or equal to a preset voltage.

[0067] Specifically, when this application uses the energy storage object 200 of the energy storage system and the mains power 400 to provide dual power supply to the load 300 of the energy storage system, the energy storage object 200 corresponding to the second power supply branch 120 serves as a backup power source, only supplying power to the load 300 of the energy storage system in the event of a mains power failure. However, both the first power supply branch 110 and the second power supply branch 120 are in a conducting state. To ensure that the mains power 400 supplies power to the load 300 of the energy storage system, this application can use a power redundancy module 130 to detect the voltage output of the first power supply branch 110 and the voltage output of the second power supply branch 120, and determine whether the voltage difference between the voltage output of the first power supply branch 110 and the voltage output of the second power supply branch 120 is greater than or equal to a preset voltage, in order to determine whether there is a situation where the mains power 400 fails.

[0068] For example, the voltage output by the first power supply branch 110 can be 24.2V, the voltage output by the second power supply branch 120 can be 23.8V, and the voltage difference between the voltage output by the first power supply branch 110 and the voltage output by the second power supply branch 120 can be 0.4V. When the voltage difference between the voltage output by the first power supply branch 110 and the voltage output by the second power supply branch 120 is greater than or equal to 0.4V, it can be determined that the mains power 400 has not lost power, the first and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are connected, the second and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are disconnected, and the mains power 400 is configured to supply power to the load 300; when the voltage difference between the voltage output by the first power supply branch 110 and the voltage output by the second power supply branch 120 is less than 0.4V, it can be determined that the mains power 400 has lost power, the first and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are disconnected, the second and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are connected, and the energy storage object 200 is configured to supply power to the load 300. The preset voltage can be 0.4V.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first power supply branch 110 includes a first switching power supply 111; wherein, one end of the first switching power supply 111 is electrically connected to the mains power 400, and the other end of the first switching power supply 111 is electrically connected to the first end of the power redundancy module 130; the first switching power supply 111 is configured to convert the AC power output from the mains power 400 into the power supply for the load 300; the second power supply branch 120 includes a second switching power supply 121; wherein, one end of the second switching power supply 121 is electrically connected to the energy storage object 200, and the other end of the second switching power supply 121 is electrically connected to the second end of the power redundancy module 130; the second switching power supply 121 is configured to convert the DC power output from the energy storage object 200 into the power supply for the load 300.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first switching power supply 111 is equipped with an AC / DC converter, which can convert the AC power output from the mains power 400 into DC power, so that the mains power 400 can supply power to the energy storage object 200 of the energy storage system; the second switching power supply 121 is equipped with a DC / DC converter, which can convert the DC power output from the energy storage object 200 into DC power that matches the load 300, so that the energy storage object 200 can supply power to the energy storage object 200 of the energy storage system.

[0071] Since the load 300 of the energy storage object 200 mentioned in this application requires a large current, and there is no suitable first switching power supply 111 on the market to ensure that the mains power 400 supplies power to the load 300 of the energy storage object 200, this application can set two AC / DC converters in the first switching power supply 111, namely the first AC / DC converter PS1 and the second AC / DC converter PS2.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the power redundancy module 130 includes:

[0073] The first switch has one end electrically connected to the first terminal of the power redundancy module 130, and the other end electrically connected to the third terminal of the power redundancy module 130.

[0074] The second switch has one end electrically connected to the second end of the power redundancy module 130, and the other end electrically connected to the third end of the power redundancy module 130.

[0075] The control module is electrically connected to the control terminals of the first switch and the second switch, respectively.

[0076] The control module is configured to control the on / off state of the first switch and the second switch.

[0077] In this embodiment, the control module can be a chip, which is electrically connected to the control terminals of the first switch and the second switch respectively, to control the on / off state of the first switch and the second switch; the first switch can control the mains power 400 to supply power to the load 300 of the energy storage system, and the first switch can be a MOS2 transistor; the second switch can control the energy storage object 200 to supply power to the load 300 of the energy storage system, and the second switch can be a MOS1 transistor.

[0078] Specifically, when the mains power 400 fails, the two ends of the first switch are disconnected and the two ends of the second switch are connected, and the energy storage object 200 is configured to supply power to the load 300; when the mains power 400 does not fail, the two ends of the first switch are connected and the two ends of the second switch are disconnected, and the mains power 400 is configured to supply power to the load 300.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the power supply circuit 100 includes two second power supply branches 120, and the energy storage objects 200 corresponding to the two second power supply branches 120 are the first battery cluster and the second battery cluster, respectively; wherein, when the first battery cluster is configured to supply power to the load 300, if the output voltage of the first battery cluster is lower than the preset voltage, the first battery cluster is configured to stop supplying power to the load 300, and the second battery cluster is configured to supply power to the load 300.

[0080] In this embodiment, both the first and second battery clusters can serve as backup power sources for the load 300 of the energy storage system. Specifically, during the process of the first battery cluster supplying power to the load of the energy storage system, to prevent the first battery cluster from becoming depleted (i.e., to prevent over-discharge of the cells within the first battery cluster, which could cause irreversible capacity decay), it is necessary to stop the first battery cluster from supplying power to the load 300 and switch to the second battery cluster to supply power to the load 300. The output voltage of the first battery cluster can be obtained by acquiring the cell voltage from the control board BMU within the battery pack of the first battery cluster and sending it to the main control board BCMU in the high-voltage box of the first battery cluster. The main control board BCMU then transmits this data via communication to the main control board MBMU in the combiner cabinet for calculation. Furthermore, each of the two second power supply branches 120 is equipped with a DC / DC converter, namely the first DC / DC converter PS3 and the second DC / DC converter PS4.

[0081] When the mains power 400 is not interrupted, the first and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are connected, and the second and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are disconnected, and the mains power 400 is configured to supply power to the load 300; when the mains power 400 is interrupted, the first and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are disconnected, and the second and third terminals of the power redundancy module 130 are connected, and the first battery cluster is configured to supply power to the load 300; when the first battery cluster is configured to supply power to the load 300, if the output voltage of the first battery cluster is lower than the preset voltage, the first battery cluster is configured to stop supplying power to the load 300, and the second battery cluster is configured to supply power to the load 300.

[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first power supply branch 110 also includes a first circuit breaker MCB3; wherein, the first end of the first circuit breaker MCB3 is electrically connected to the mains power 400, and the second end of the first circuit breaker MCB3 is electrically connected to the first end of the power redundancy module 130.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first circuit breaker MCB3 is located between the mains power 400 and the power redundancy module 130, specifically between the mains power 400 and the first switching power supply 111, which can control the mains power 400 to supply power to the load 300 of the energy storage system.

[0084] Specifically, a second circuit breaker MCB1 is also provided between the first circuit breaker MCB3 and the mains power 400. The mains power 400 can supply power to the remaining loads 300 of the energy storage system in sequence through the second circuit breaker MCB1 and the third circuit breaker MCB2. The first power supply branch 110 also includes a fuse FU3 and a surge protector SPD. One end of the fuse FU3 is electrically connected to the first circuit breaker MCB3, the second circuit breaker, and the third circuit breaker, respectively, and the other end of the fuse FU3 is grounded through the surge protector SPD.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second power supply branch 120 also includes a shunt trip unit; wherein, the first end of the shunt trip unit is electrically connected to the energy storage object 200, and the second end of the shunt trip unit is electrically connected to the second end of the power redundancy module 130.

[0086] In this embodiment, the shunt trip unit can be configured to control the second power supply branch 120 to supply power to the load 300 of the energy storage system. The shunt trip unit can be located between the energy storage object 200 and the power redundancy module 130, specifically between the energy storage object 200 and the second switching power supply 121.

[0087] Specifically, when the energy storage object 200 supplies power to the load 300 of the energy storage system, if the voltage of the energy storage object 200 is low, in order to avoid the energy storage object 200 being depleted, this application can control the shunt trip to trip, so as to cut off the second power supply branch 120 from supplying power to the load 300 of the energy storage system.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second power supply branch 120 also includes an intermediate relay; wherein, the first end of the intermediate relay is electrically connected to the battery management system of the energy storage system, the second and third ends of the intermediate relay are electrically connected to the third end of the power redundancy module 130, and the fourth end of the intermediate relay is electrically connected to the shunt trip end of the shunt trip unit; the battery management system is configured to turn on the intermediate relay and the shunt trip unit.

[0089] In this embodiment, the intermediate relay can cooperate with the shunt trip unit to disconnect the second power supply branch 120 from the load 300 of the energy storage system. When the energy storage object 200 supplies power to the load 300 of the energy storage system, both the shunt trip unit and the intermediate relay are in the normally open state. When the voltage of the energy storage object 200 is low, in order to avoid the energy storage object 200 from being depleted, the coil of the intermediate relay can be energized to close the intermediate relay. After the intermediate relay is closed, the coil of the shunt trip unit is energized to control the shunt trip unit to trip, thereby disconnecting the second power supply branch 120 from the load 300 of the energy storage system.

[0090] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the power supply circuit 100 includes two second power supply branches 120, and the energy storage objects 200 corresponding to the two second power supply branches 120 are the first battery cluster and the second battery cluster respectively, the first battery cluster is equipped with a shunt trip unit MCB5 and an intermediate relay KA2, and the second battery cluster is equipped with a shunt trip unit MCB4 and an intermediate relay KA1.

[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the battery management system includes a main control board (MBMU); the main control board (MBMU) includes a plate relay and a third switch; the first terminal of the plate relay is electrically connected to the first terminal of the intermediate relay, the second terminal of the plate relay is grounded, the third terminal of the plate relay is electrically connected to the first terminal of the third switch, and the fourth terminal of the plate relay is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the main control board (MBMU); the control terminal of the third switch is electrically connected to the control terminal of the main control board (MBMU), and the second terminal of the third switch is grounded.

[0092] In this embodiment, the main control board (MBMU) can be located in the combiner cabinet and can control the on / off state of the shunt trip unit and the intermediate relay by controlling the on / off state of the board relay and the third switch. The third switch can be a transistor Q1. The base of transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the CPU on the MBMU through a resistor R1, the collector of transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the VCC pin of the MBMU through the coil of the board relay, and the emitter of transistor Q1 is grounded.

[0093] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, when it is necessary to stop the energy storage object 200 from supplying power to the load 300 of the energy storage system, the CPU can control the base of transistor Q1 to make the collector and emitter of transistor Q1 conduct, thereby energizing the coil of the plate relay. At this time, the normally open contact of the plate relay closes, and the pin D01 or pin D02 of the main control board MBMU is connected to the ground DC24-, thereby energizing the coil of the intermediate relay to close the normally open contact of the intermediate relay, which in turn causes the shunt trip to trip, thus stopping the energy storage object 200 from supplying power to the load 300 of the energy storage system. The plate relay is electrically connected to the ground DC24- through pin COM1 or pin COM2 of the main control board MBMU.

[0094] In addition, when powering the main control board MBMU, this application can use the DC24 pin of the main control board MBMU. At the same time, when the main control board BCMU and the main control board MBMU communicate, the two contacts H and L of the CAN pin of the main control board MBMU can be used.

[0106] The pre-charging circuit is electrically connected at one end to one end of the contactor, and at the other end to the other end of the contactor.

Specifically, as...

The pre-charging circuit is connected in parallel with the main positive contactor control KM1 and includes a pre-charging resistor and a circulating current contactor KM3 connected in series. One end of the main positive contactor control KM1 is electrically connected to the positive terminal B+ of the battery pack through the main positive fuse FU1, and the other end of the main positive contactor control KM1 is electrically connected to the port P+ of the high-voltage box through the main circuit switch QF1 and the Hall sensor in sequence. One end of the main negative contactor KM2 is electrically connected to the negative terminal B- of the battery pack through the main negative fuse FU2 and the shunt SH1 in sequence, and the other end of the main negative contactor KM2 is electrically connected to the port P- of the high-voltage box through the main circuit switch QF1.
