[0014] One possible approach is to use a Zener diode as the voltage regulation and protection module.

[0015] The Zener diode has its anode connected to the output terminal of the rectifier. When the voltage across the energy storage module is higher than the protection threshold, the Zener diode operates, and the rectifier stops supplying power to the energy storage module.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0036] In modern power systems, energy storage modules are increasingly widely used, playing a vital role in stabilizing power supply, regulating grid load, and improving the utilization rate of renewable energy. However, during operation, the voltage across an energy storage module may fluctuate for various reasons, even exceeding safe limits. This not only affects the module's performance and lifespan but may also damage connected equipment.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a passive power supply circuit, specifically comprising: an energy storage module, a back-end power supply module, and a voltage regulation and protection module.

[0038] In the embodiments provided in this application, the energy storage module is mainly used for energy storage and storage. The back-end power supply module is connected to the energy storage module. When the voltage across the energy storage module is higher than the voltage regulation threshold, the back-end power supply module regulates the voltage output by the energy storage module. The regulated voltage is used to supply power to the back-end load.

[0039] Therefore, when the voltage output by the energy storage module is too high, the voltage output by the energy storage module can be regulated to prevent the input voltage to the downstream load from being too high.

[0040] The voltage regulation and protection module is directly or indirectly connected to the energy storage module and is mainly used to release the voltage across the energy storage module when the voltage across the energy storage module is higher than the protection threshold.

[0041] Therefore, when the voltage output by the energy storage module exceeds the protection threshold, the voltage of the energy storage module can be released through the voltage regulation and protection module to protect the energy storage module.

[0042] In summary, in the embodiments provided in this application, when the voltage across the energy storage module is too high, the voltage output by the energy storage module can be stabilized to supply power to the downstream. At the same time, the voltage stabilization protection module is used to release the voltage of the energy storage module, thereby extending the service life of the energy storage module and preventing damage to the downstream load.

[0043] In some embodiments, in order to supply power to the energy storage module, referring to FIG2(a), the embodiments of this application further include a front-end power supply module, which is connected to the energy storage module and includes an AC power supply coil and a rectifier.

[0044] The energy storage module can be powered in the way described above.

[0045] Referring to Figure 2(b), in the embodiments provided in this application, in order to supply power to the backend, one possible approach is that the backend power supply module includes a first voltage monitoring submodule and a linear regulator.

[0046] In this embodiment, the control terminal of the first voltage monitoring submodule is connected to the energy storage module, and the controlled terminal of the first voltage monitoring submodule is connected to the enable terminal of the linear regulator.

[0047] When the voltage across the energy storage module is higher than the voltage regulation threshold, the first voltage monitoring submodule outputs a first control signal. The linear regulator receives and responds to the first control signal to operate. In other words, the first control signal is used to control the operation of the linear regulator.

[0048] In this way, when the voltage across the energy storage module is higher than the voltage regulation threshold, the linear regulator will work to regulate the voltage output by the energy storage module, preventing the downstream load from being subjected to excessive voltage.

[0049] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the voltage regulation protection module is a Zener diode. Referring to 3(a) and 3(b), two specific embodiments will be provided below:

[0050] Referring to Figure 3(a), in this example, the positive terminal of the Zener diode is connected to the output terminal of the rectifier. When the voltage across the energy storage module is higher than the protection threshold, the Zener diode operates, and the rectifier stops supplying power to the energy storage module. The depressurization direction of the energy storage module is shown by the arrow.

[0051] Referring to Figure 3(b), in this example, the positive terminal of the Zener diode is connected to the energy storage module through the voltage monitoring module. As mentioned above, when the voltage across the energy storage module is higher than the voltage regulation threshold, the first voltage monitoring module outputs a first control signal, and the Zener diode receives and responds to the first control signal to discharge the voltage across the energy storage module.

[0052] In this example, the protection threshold and the voltage regulation threshold are equal.

[0053] Comparing the two examples in Figure 3(a) and Figure 3(b), the voltage relief capability of the example in Figure 3(a) is weaker than that of the example in Figure 3(b) due to the output current of the voltage monitoring submodule.

[0054] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, the first voltage monitoring submodule includes one of a transistor, an IGBT, or a MOSFET.

[0055] Reference Figure 4 In some examples, the voltage regulation and protection module and the back-end power supply module are controlled by two separate devices. In this example, the back-end power supply module includes a first voltage monitoring submodule and a linear regulator.

[0056] Specifically, the control terminal of the first voltage monitoring submodule is connected to the energy storage module, and the controlled terminal of the first voltage monitoring submodule is connected to the enable terminal of the linear regulator.

[0057] When the voltage across the energy storage module is higher than the voltage regulation threshold, the first voltage monitoring submodule outputs a first control signal, and the linear regulator receives and responds to the control signal to operate.

[0058] In this example, the voltage regulation and protection module includes an optocoupler submodule and a second voltage monitoring submodule. The control terminal of the second voltage monitoring submodule is connected to the energy storage module, and one end of the optocoupler submodule is connected to the controlled terminal of the second voltage monitoring submodule. When the voltage across the energy storage module is higher than the protection threshold, a second control signal is output.

[0059] The other end of the optocoupler module is connected to the AC power supply coil. When the voltage across the energy storage module is higher than the protection threshold, the optocoupler module receives and responds to the third control signal to adjust the output voltage of the AC power supply coil so that the rectifier stops charging the energy storage module.

[0060] In this example, the first and second monitoring submodules include one of the following: a transistor, an IGBT, or a MOSFET.

[0061] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the energy storage module includes one of the following: lithium battery, supercapacitor, lead-acid battery, sodium-sulfur battery, and flow battery.
