When wiring, in order to adapt to the high-voltage and large-current working environment of the energy storage system, the insulation layer and the sheath material of the cable must have high-temperature resistance and good thermal conductivity to cope with the high-temperature challenge brought by frequent charging and discharging. In addition, such a large number of cables need to be scientifically and reasonably designed to effectively promote heat exchange and avoid local overheating. Therefore, such a design puts higher insulation requirements on the cable and higher wiring skill requirements on the operator.

[0038] The cluster-level battery management system 2110 can be configured to obtain one or more of the state of charge (SOC) of the battery, the state of health (SOH) of the battery, and other battery information about the state of the battery. The above-mentioned state or information can be about the battery cell or about the battery cluster.

[0039] The fusion switch 2200 can include a plurality of switch components 2210 and an input / output interface 2220.

The disconnecting switch 2214 can be configured to isolate the battery cluster and the energy storage converter.

[0041] The shunt 2300 and the Hall sensor 2400 can be used to measure the current between the battery cluster and the energy storage converter. For example, the shunt 2300 can measure the current by the principle of resistive shunting. The shunt 2300 can be directly connected in series in the current path, when the current flows through the shunt 2300, a tiny voltage drop will be generated on the resistor, by measuring the voltage drop, the size of the current can be calculated. The Hall sensor 2400 can be a magnetic field sensor based on the Hall effect. The Hall sensor 2400 can convert the changing magnetic field into the change of output voltage. When the current flows through the conductor, a magnetic field will be generated around the conductor, the Hall sensor 2400 can indirectly measure the size of the current by detecting this magnetic field.

[0042] The voltage detection processing circuit 2120 of the battery control unit 2110 can receive voltage data from the line via the input-output interface 2160 through the signal line. The current detection processing circuit 2130 of the battery control unit 2100 can receive current data from one of the shunt 2300 and the Hall sensor 2400 via the input-output interface 2160 through the signal line. The insulation detection processing circuit 2140 of the battery control unit 2100 can receive insulation data from the line via the input-output interface 2160 through the signal line. The temperature detection processing circuit 2150 of the battery control unit 2100 can receive temperature data from the line via the input-output interface 2160 through the signal line. The voltage detection processing circuit 2120 can be configured to detect the voltage on the battery cluster side or the energy storage converter side and generate a feedback signal indicating the size of the voltage.

The insulation detection processing circuit 2140 can be configured to detect the insulation characteristics of the positive power line or the negative power line on the battery cluster side or the energy storage converter side and generate a feedback signal indicating the insulation characteristics. The temperature detection processing circuit 2140 can be configured to detect the temperature characteristics of the positive power line or the negative power line on the battery cluster side or the energy storage converter side and generate a feedback signal indicating the temperature characteristics.

[0043] Exemplarily, one or more of the voltage detection processing circuit 2120, the current detection processing circuit 2130, the insulation detection processing circuit 2140, and the temperature detection processing circuit 2150 can be a central processing unit (CPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), a microcontroller, or other forms of processing units having data processing and / or program executing capabilities, such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), etc. One or more of the voltage detection processing circuit 2120, the current detection processing circuit 2130, the insulation detection processing circuit 2140, and the temperature detection processing circuit 2150 can be a general purpose processor or a special purpose processor, and can perform desired functions. Although not shown, one or more of the voltage detection processing circuit 2120, the current detection processing circuit 2130, the insulation detection processing circuit 2140, and the temperature detection processing circuit 2150 can include a memory. The memory can include any combination of one or more computer program products, which can include various forms of computer-readable storage media, such as volatile memory and / or non-volatile memory.

Non-volatile memory, for example, can include read only memory (ROM), hard disk, erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM), compact disk read only memory (CD-ROM), USB memory, flash memory, and / or the like. One or more computer program modules can be stored on the computer-readable storage media, and one or more of the voltage detection processing circuit 2120, the current detection processing circuit 2130, the insulation detection processing circuit 2140, and the temperature detection processing circuit 2150 can run the one or more computer program modules to implement various functions of the relay protection device 200. Various application programs and various data used and / or generated by the application programs, etc. can also be stored in the computer-readable storage media.

[0044] The fuse 2500 can raise temperature to melt itself to cut off the circuit when the current flowing between the battery cluster and the energy storage converter is too large. The fuse 2500 can prevent the excessive current from continuously flowing, thereby protecting the circuit and the electrical equipment.

[0045] The switching power supply 2600 can provide power for components in the energy storage high-voltage box 2000, such as the battery control unit 2100, the fusion switch 2200, etc.

[0046] The fusion switch and the energy storage high-voltage box according to an embodiment of the present application can significantly reduce the number of signal lines. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, compared with the prior art shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 and FIG. 1A and FIG. 1BThe shown example is different, since the fusion switch 2200 has the input-output interface 2220, the battery control unit does not need to use a large number of signal lines to be connected to a plurality of switch components such as the main positive contactor 2211, the main negative contactor 2212, and the pre-charge contactor 2213, and thus the number of cables included in the cable 2700 is significantly lower than the number of cables included in the cable 170.

[0047] FIG. 3A is another schematic view of the energy storage high-voltage box according to an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 3B is a wiring diagram of the energy storage high-voltage box according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0051] The battery control unit 3100 can send control signals to the fuse switch 3200 and receive feedback signals from the fuse switch 3200. For example, the battery control unit 3100 can send control signals to the plurality of switch components 3210 (e.g., the main positive contactor 3211, the main negative contactor 3212, and the pre-charge contactor 3213, etc.) and receive feedback signals from the plurality of switch components 3210 (e.g., the main positive contactor 3211, the main negative contactor 3212, the pre-charge contactor 3213, and the disconnector 3214, etc.) through the input / output interface 3160, signal lines, the input / output interface 3220.

FIG. 3B The temperature detection processing circuit 3280 can receive temperature data from the outside (e.g., the B+, B-, P+, P- points in the power transmission line 1000). Since the voltage detection processing circuit 3250, the current detection processing circuit 3260, the insulation detection processing circuit 3270, and the temperature detection processing circuit 3280 can be directly connected to the shunt 3230 / Hall sensor 3240 or the power transmission line inside the fuse switch, the cables for wiring can be significantly reduced.
