[0002] With the improvement of global environmental protection consciousness and the emphasis on sustainable development, the shipping industry, as an important part of the global economy, is facing the major challenges of reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency. Traditional ship power systems usually rely on fuel engines, and this power mode not only consumes a large amount of fossil fuels, but also produces a large amount of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. To address this problem, in recent years, the development of electric ships and hybrid ships has received widespread attention. In this context, the progress of ship battery technology has enabled more and more large ships to use battery packs as the main power source. Batteries not only provide clean energy, but also improve the overall energy efficiency of ships through energy recovery mechanisms. However, with the increase in the number and capacity of battery packs on board, how to efficiently and safely manage and utilize these battery resources has become a problem to be solved.
[0003] Traditional single host management systems cannot meet the needs of multiple battery packs working together. Single host management architecture often lacks flexibility and cannot effectively monitor the status of each battery cell, nor can it implement complex charging and discharging strategies to optimize overall performance. Therefore, in order to ensure the stable operation of the ship power system and prolong the service life of the battery, while considering safety, reliability and other factors, it is necessary to research and design a secondary architecture electrical scheme suitable for large ships.
