Energy storage systems consist of AC and DC side systems, both of which require reliable backup power for critical loads. UPS devices, with their functions of providing uninterrupted power, regulated voltage and frequency output, power purification, and safety protection, are the preferred backup power devices in energy storage systems. However, due to size limitations, UPS systems have limited battery capacity and short backup time; when the UPS has no input for an extended period, it is prone to power failure, leading to product damage; furthermore, critical loads are typically directly connected to the UPS output, so when the UPS fails, downstream loads cannot operate, affecting the operation of the entire energy storage system.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a UPS power supply device, including a UPS body, a UPS input power supply circuit, a UPS output protection circuit, a UPS output bus, and an energy storage system controller (EMU).

[0025] The UPS is a power protection device with communication function, which is usually composed of battery packs, rectifiers, inverters and static switches. Its core component, the inverter, can efficiently convert DC power into stable AC power to ensure that electronic equipment receives high-quality power support. In this embodiment, the UPS input power supply circuit has dual power inputs. One power source comes from inside the energy storage system, which can be the auxiliary transformer within the energy storage system. The other power source comes from outside. Both power sources are connected to the input terminal of the ATS power supply switch, and one output is connected to the AC input terminal of the UPS body. The two power sources automatically switch, with the internal power supply taking priority. The dual-input power supply design of the UPS ensures the reliability of the UPS input power supply. The external power supply line is also grounded through fuse FU1 and surge protector SPD to form short-circuit protection.

[0026] The UPS output protection circuit includes, on the one hand, a contactor KM1 is installed between the output terminal of the UPS body and the UPS output bus, and the opening and closing of the contactor KM1 is controlled by the energy storage system controller EMU; on the other hand, it also includes a UPS bypass circuit, one end of which shares a bus with the input terminal of the UPS body, and the output terminal of the bypass circuit shares a bus with the UPS output bus. The UPS bypass circuit is equipped with a contactor KM2, which is used to control the opening and closing of the UPS bypass switch, and the opening and closing of the contactor KM2 is controlled by the energy storage system controller EMU.

[0027] The UPS output bus is used to provide power to important loads at the back end of the UPS. Circuit breakers QF1, QF2...QFn are configured between the loads at the back end of the UPS and the UPS output bus.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the energy storage system controller (EMU) has DO ports, where DO1 controls the closing and opening of contactor KM1 in the UPS output protection circuit, and DO2 controls the closing and opening of contactor KM2 in the UPS output protection circuit. The energy storage system controller (EMU) also has communication functions, enabling communication with the UPS body, real-time reading of the UPS status, and remote control based on the UPS status. In this embodiment, the energy storage system controller (EMU) and the UPS communicate via RS485.

[0029] Based on the above circuit configuration, the UPS power supply device in this embodiment has three power supply modes: mains power mode, battery mode, and bypass mode. like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, contactors KM1 and KM2 are interlocked, with only one contactor conducting at a time to prevent short circuits between the UPS output circuit and the UPS bypass circuit; in this embodiment, The UPS power supply method is built into the Energy Storage System Controller (EMU). After establishing communication between the EMU and the UPS, the EMU reads the UPS status in real time and controls the opening and closing of contactors KM1 and KM2, as well as the shutdown of the UPS, based on the UPS information. Specifically, after the UPS is powered on, the EMU controls contactor KM1 to close, energizing the UPS output bus to supply power to the important loads downstream of the UPS. When the UPS detects mains power input, the UPS power supply mode is mains power mode. When mains power is unavailable, the UPS supplies power to the important loads downstream of the UPS through built-in or external batteries, and the UPS power supply mode is battery mode. When the battery's SOC value reaches the preset protection value of 10%, the EMU remotely shuts down the UPS to prevent UPS power failure. When the UPS SOC value is greater than 10%, indicating a UPS failure, the EMU controls contactor KM1 in the UPS output circuit to open, and contactor KM2 in the UPS bypass circuit to close, allowing mains power to directly supply power to the loads downstream of the UPS. In this case, the UPS power supply mode is bypass mode.

[0030] It should be noted that the above control method can be achieved through conventional software settings. The inventive point of this utility model lies in the design of the circuit structure. Example 2

[0031] This embodiment provides an energy storage system, such as Figure 5 As shown, the UPS hardware power-on / off circuit of the energy storage system has a UPS body button switch that extends to the outer shell of the energy storage system compartment via a cable. The button switch can be either point-controlled or self-locking, allowing the UPS to be powered on or off without opening the energy storage system compartment.
