Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a multi-functional dedicated power distribution box for battery cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] A battery cabinet is an energy storage device, primarily used in conjunction with a PCS (Power Conversion System) in commercial and industrial energy storage or large-scale energy storage power stations. To ensure the stable operation of the battery cabinet, auxiliary control equipment is typically installed inside, such as a BMS (Battery Management System), fire suppression system, liquid cooling system, environmental monitoring system, and leakage detection system. Data from the equipment inside the cabinet is uploaded to the EMS (Energy Management System) in real time, and the EMS simultaneously issues control commands to the auxiliary control equipment.

[0003] In existing designs, components are typically placed in unused spaces within the cabinet. Primary cables connect to the incoming switch or busbar, while secondary external interfaces are directly connected to secondary terminal blocks. Data from auxiliary control components is uploaded to the EMS energy management system via Ethernet, RS485, CAN, etc.

[0004] The existing design has the following problems:

[0005] 1. The auxiliary control components of the existing battery cabinet are installed in a scattered and disorderly manner, and the overall wiring is not aesthetically pleasing;

[0006] 2. The inconvenience of primary and secondary external wiring increases the difficulty of on-site installation and maintenance;

[0007] 3. The various data transmission methods of the devices within the battery cabinet result in poor anti-interference capabilities, reducing system stability. Furthermore, the numerous communication cables increase on-site installation and wiring costs. Utility Model Content
