Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy power technology, specifically to an energy storage container with isolated charging and discharging circuits. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing global demand for renewable energy, energy storage technology is rapidly developing as a key means to address the intermittency and volatility of new energy sources. Among numerous energy storage solutions, energy storage containers are widely used in various fields such as new energy power generation support, grid frequency regulation and peak shaving, industrial and commercial power management, electric vehicle charging stations, and off-grid power supply for islands due to their modular design, ease of deployment and maintenance, etc. These application scenarios require energy storage systems not only to effectively store electrical energy, but also to achieve flexible energy conversion between AC and DC, and provide stable and reliable power output.
[0003] The core component of an energy storage container is the power converter (PCS), which integrates rectifier (AC→DC) and inverter (DC→AC) circuits. It can convert AC power from the grid or load into DC power for battery charging, or convert DC power from the battery into AC power to feed back to the grid or supply AC loads. This bidirectional power conversion capability enables the energy storage system to effectively manage energy flow, optimize power utilization efficiency, and support diverse application requirements.
[0004] However, in certain specific application scenarios, such as the power supply needs of high-power loads with weak power infrastructure in the construction sector, existing energy storage containers face certain technical bottlenecks. Especially on construction sites, when the grid capacity is insufficient to support heavy equipment such as tower cranes (peak power 400kW) and concrete pump trucks, the topology of traditional energy storage systems limits their flexibility. Specifically, the physical mutual exclusion between grid-connected charging mode (AC / DC) and off-grid discharging mode (DC / AC) of the energy storage converter (PCS) means that simultaneous charging and power supply cannot meet the demand, causing power outages for critical equipment and affecting construction progress. Furthermore, existing solutions using a single AC bus design require mechanical electrical isolation during mode switching, which not only increases manual maintenance costs but also poses potential safety hazards and reduces the system's operational convenience and power supply continuity.

[0033] Specifically, this application integrates dual AC input sources—one from the grid side and the other from the inverter side of the energy storage converter PCS cabinet—by setting up an interlock circuit. This allows for automatic and seamless switching to the backup circuit powered by the energy storage converter PCS cabinet when the main power supply (such as mains power) fails or is interrupted. This ensures the continuous and stable operation of auxiliary power equipment such as the battery management system (BMS), energy management system (EMS), and environmental monitoring system, significantly improving the system's reliability and availability under emergency conditions. By organically integrating the grid, energy storage converter PCS cabinet, AC distribution cabinet, and interlock circuit through a three-phase AC bus, and combining the first isolation transformer, second isolation transformer, and intelligent control logic, smooth switching between grid-connected charging, off-grid discharging, and hybrid operation modes can be achieved, meeting the needs of various application scenarios such as microgrids, emergency power supply, and operations in areas without electricity.
[0034] The DC bus serves as the core node, connecting the battery clusters, DC distribution cabinets, energy storage converter PCS cabinets, and the DC side of the rectifier charging modules to form a centralized DC energy distribution network. This design simplifies the electrical topology, reduces line losses, improves energy transmission efficiency, and facilitates multi-device collaborative control and optimized energy scheduling.
[0035] The rectifier charging module is connected to the three-phase AC bus through the first isolation transformer, which effectively realizes electrical isolation between the grid side and the DC charging circuit, prevents fault propagation, and suppresses common-mode interference. At the same time, the DC output terminal of the energy storage converter PCS cabinet is equipped with a second isolation transformer to ensure the power safety of the off-grid load side and comply with low-voltage electrical safety specifications.
[0036] The AC distribution cabinet is equipped with a dedicated off-grid load output branch. Combined with the V / f control function of the energy storage converter PCS cabinet, it can independently build a stable AC microgrid under off-grid conditions, providing high-quality AC power to external off-grid loads (such as construction equipment, communication base stations, emergency lighting, etc.), thus expanding the application boundaries of energy storage containers.
[0037] The outgoing terminals of the first circuit breaker, QF10, are directly electrically connected to the auxiliary power system equipment, providing a stable power supply to these devices. The incoming terminals of the second circuit breaker, QF22, are electrically connected to the AC side of the three-phase AC bus, which is also indirectly connected to the grid input and the DC side of the energy storage converter PCS cabinet (through a rectifier charging module). This means that the second circuit breaker, QF22, can draw power from the three-phase AC bus, whether the power comes directly from the grid or is fed back to the three-phase AC bus after being inverted by the energy storage converter PCS cabinet. The outgoing terminals of the second circuit breaker, QF22, are also electrically connected to the auxiliary power system equipment, ensuring a seamless switch to backup power supply when the main power supply is unavailable.
[0038] The dual power supply circuit is configured to switch between different auxiliary power supply circuits based on power availability, with the first interlock contactor KM2 and the second interlock contactor KM1 following the first circuit breaker QF10 and the second circuit breaker QF22. This achieves seamless switching between the main and backup power supplies, ensuring continuous and reliable power supply to the auxiliary power system. The signal / communication terminal of the battery management system (BMS) is electrically connected to the battery clusters to collect the voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge (SOC) of each battery cluster in real time, and to achieve charge and discharge management and safety protection.
[0039] The environmental monitoring system includes temperature and humidity sensors, smoke detectors, fan controllers, and other equipment. Its power input terminal is electrically connected to the output terminal of the first circuit breaker to obtain the working power. The signal acquisition terminal of the environmental monitoring system is electrically connected to the operation status monitoring points of the battery cluster, rectifier charging module, and energy storage converter PCS cabinet, respectively, to monitor the operating temperature, environmental parameters, and abnormal status of key equipment in real time, and upload the data to the energy management system (EMS) or local controller.
[0040] The third circuit breaker Q2 is configured to provide overload protection, short-circuit protection and isolation functions for off-grid load circuits, so as to realize controllable switching and safe operation on the load side.
[0041] Through reasonable electrical topology design and control strategies, efficient coordination and flexible operation of charging and discharging circuits can be achieved.
[0042] This application employs a design where the main circuit and discharge circuit are independently isolated. The auxiliary power circuit uses dual power supplies, supporting the charging circuit (grid side) as power input and the discharge circuit (energy storage converter PCS cabinet) as power output to power the entire auxiliary power system. This design allows the energy storage container to share the same auxiliary power system when the charging and discharging circuits are operating simultaneously or independently, providing a stable power supply for auxiliary equipment such as temperature control, control, monitoring, and communication. Compared to the traditional approach of configuring independent auxiliary power systems for different operating modes, this application significantly reduces the redundant configuration of auxiliary power components, simplifies the system architecture, reduces equipment costs and space occupation, and facilitates fault diagnosis and maintenance and replacement of key components, effectively reducing production and operation costs.
[0043] During power switching, the interlock circuit and the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) work together to implement an intelligent switching control strategy, ensuring seamless power supply from the auxiliary power system when switching between charging and discharging modes. The switching time is controlled within ≤8ms, complying with the IEC 62040-3 standard, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of critical equipment such as monitoring systems and communication modules. The dual-power redundant supply combined with the uninterrupted nature of the UPS constitutes a multi-layered power supply protection mechanism, significantly improving system reliability and operational safety.
[0044] Regarding the configuration of the main power circuit, this application supports multiple implementation methods, which can be flexibly selected according to the application scenario and cost requirements:
[0045] For example, a dual-energy storage converter PCS cabinet solution involves configuring two energy storage converter PCS cabinets. One cabinet operates in grid-connected mode, connecting the grid and the battery cluster, and is responsible for controlling the charging process of the energy storage system. The other cabinet operates in off-grid mode, connecting the battery cluster and the local load, enabling independent power supply to off-grid loads (such as emergency power supplies, islanded operation, etc.). The two energy storage converter PCS cabinets construct physically isolated charging and discharging circuits, avoiding control logic conflicts and energy losses during mode switching processes that occur with a single energy storage converter PCS cabinet, thus improving system response speed and operational stability.
[0046] For example, the single energy storage converter PCS cabinet + single inverter solution uses one energy storage converter PCS cabinet to handle grid-connected charging, and another independent inverter for off-grid discharge. This achieves physical isolation between the charging and discharging circuits, balancing performance and cost.
[0047] For example, the rectifier + inverter solution: In low-cost scenarios where PCS functionality is not required, only one rectifier charging module and one inverter are configured to build independent charging and discharging circuits, achieving the simplest dual-bus architecture, significantly reducing system costs, and suitable for stationary energy storage applications with lower requirements for intelligence.
[0048] In summary, this application achieves physical isolation and power supply redundancy for charging and discharging paths by constructing a dual-bus, dual-circuit, dual-input electrical architecture, combined with the design of interlocking circuits and shared auxiliary power supply system equipment. The system not only supports flexible multi-mode configuration but also possesses comprehensive advantages such as high reliability, low cost, and ease of maintenance, making it suitable for various complex application scenarios such as microgrids, emergency power supplies, mobile energy storage, and power supply in areas without electricity.
[0049] This application adopts a standardized electrical connection architecture, which allows for flexible expansion of each functional unit (such as battery clusters, PCS, and rectifier modules), facilitating on-demand configuration of power and capacity. It is suitable for energy storage application scenarios of different scales and has good promotional value.
[0050] This application achieves a comprehensive improvement in power supply reliability, operational flexibility, energy utilization efficiency, and system security of energy storage containers through dual-circuit power supply design, AC / DC bus collaborative architecture, and intelligent linkage of multiple devices. It is especially suitable for critical power security scenarios with high requirements for power supply continuity and complex operating environments.
