At the same time, as a crucial supporting component of the new energy industry, new energy storage power stations have received widespread attention, with demand increasing year by year.

[0003] However, with the increasing installed capacity of the new energy industry, malfunctions are inevitable, and excessive malfunctions mean reduced utilization. Therefore, the industry needs to design a solution to effectively improve the utilization rate of energy storage systems in grid operation. Utility Model Content

[0006] Furthermore, the first DC combiner cabinet of the new energy storage power station includes a first display and control unit (BAU1), a first electric switch (K11), and a second electric switch (K12).

[0007] A further technical solution is that the second DC combiner cabinet of the new energy storage power station includes a second display and control unit BAU2, a third electric switch K21, and a fourth electric switch K22.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the first energy storage converter PCS1 is connected to the first energy storage battery stack via the first electric switch K11 of the first DC combiner cabinet, and the first energy storage converter PCS1 is connected to the second energy storage battery stack via the second electric switch K12 of the first DC combiner cabinet; the second energy storage converter PCS2 is connected to the second energy storage battery stack via the third electric switch K21 of the second DC combiner cabinet, and the second energy storage converter PCS2 is connected to the second energy storage battery stack via the fourth electric switch K22 of the second DC combiner cabinet.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the above scheme also include that when the energy storage converter PCS side is maintained and serviced, the energy storage battery stack can be switched to another PCS through the DC combiner cabinet, ensuring that all energy storage battery stacks still participate in grid operation and that one of the energy storage battery stacks will not stop working due to maintenance and service.

[0031] In this embodiment of the utility model, there are two PCS (first energy storage converter PCS1 and second energy storage converter PCS2) in an intelligent power supply cabinet, two DC combiner cabinets (first DC combiner cabinet 1 and second DC combiner cabinet 2), two energy storage battery stacks (first energy storage battery stack 3 and second energy storage battery stack 4), and one energy management unit (EMS); wherein the first DC combiner cabinet 1 includes a first display and control BAU1, a first electric switch K11 and a second electric switch K12, and the second DC combiner cabinet 2 includes a second display and control BAU2, a third electric switch K21 and a fourth electric switch K22.
