[0003] With the increasing use of electric vehicles, the current number of charging stations is no longer sufficient to meet the charging needs of these vehicles, necessitating the addition of more and more charging stations.
[0004] In related technologies, charging piles are typically connected to the power grid via transformers. However, as more and more charging piles are connected to the power grid, it is necessary to add more transformers or expand the capacity of existing transformers, resulting in high costs associated with adding charging piles. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above problems, this application provides a storage and charging device, a charging system for electrical equipment, and a power control method, which can solve the problem of high cost of adding charging piles in related technologies.
[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a storage and charging device, which includes: an energy storage component, a charging component, and a connection component, wherein the connection component is connected to the energy storage component through the charging component;
[0007] The charging component can charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode by using the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit in the energy storage component when the connection component is connected to the target electrical device; wherein, the ratio between the rated energy of the first energy storage unit and the maximum charging and discharging power of the first energy storage unit is greater than or equal to a first preset ratio threshold; the first preset ratio threshold is a positive number greater than 1.
[0008] In this embodiment, the charging component in the energy storage device can charge the target electrical equipment by utilizing the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit, without directly using the grid's power. This alleviates the demand on the grid and reduces the pressure on the transformer connected to the grid. Therefore, this embodiment eliminates the need to add or expand the transformer, thus saving on the cost of adding the energy storage device. Furthermore, by ensuring that the ratio between the rated energy of the first energy storage unit and its maximum charge / discharge power is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold (i.e., the rated energy of the first energy storage unit is greater than its maximum charge / discharge power), the charge / discharge rate of the first energy storage unit can be reduced. This eliminates the need for a corresponding thermal management system for the first energy storage unit, further saving on the cost of adding the energy storage device. On the other hand, it also increases the charge / discharge power of the first energy storage unit, ensuring it meets the charging needs of the electrical equipment.
[0009] In some embodiments, the maximum charging and discharging power of the first energy storage unit is greater than or equal to the maximum preset charging and discharging power corresponding to the target charging mode, which is beneficial to ensure that the charging and discharging power of the first energy storage unit can meet the charging needs of the target electrical equipment according to the target charging mode.

This allows the charging component to charge the target electrical equipment using the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit when the connection component is connected to the target electrical equipment, without having to directly use the grid's electrical energy to charge the target electrical equipment. This can alleviate the pressure on the transformer connected to the grid. Therefore, this embodiment does not require the addition of a transformer or the expansion of the transformer capacity, which helps to save the cost of adding the energy storage and charging equipment.

[0134] The energy storage and charging device, the charging system for electrical equipment, and the power control method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to charging and discharging application scenarios for electrical equipment; of course, they can also be applied to other scenarios.
[0135] It should be noted that, for ease of explanation, the following embodiments use a vehicle as an example of the electrical equipment in this application. It should be understood that when the electrical equipment in this application is other equipment, the implementation principle and technical effect are similar.
[0136] To address the issue of high installation costs for charging piles in related technologies, this application proposes a charging component in a storage and charging device that can charge target electrical equipment using the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit of the energy storage component. This eliminates the need to directly utilize the power grid's electrical energy for charging the target electrical equipment, thereby alleviating the power demand on the grid and reducing the pressure on the transformer connected to the grid. Therefore, the embodiments of this application do not require the addition of a transformer or the expansion of the transformer's capacity, thus saving on the installation costs of the storage and charging device.
[0137] In some embodiments, FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a storage and charging device provided in some embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG1, the storage and charging device of this application embodiment may include, but is not limited to, an energy storage component 10, a charging component 11, and a connection component 12. The energy storage component 10 may store electrical energy, and the connection component 12 may be connected to the target electrical device to be charged.
[0138] It should be noted that the connection between the connection component 12 and the target electrical device may include, but is not limited to, a wired connection and / or a wireless connection. For example, the connection component 12 may include, but is not limited to, a charging gun or a wireless charging connector.
[0139] In this embodiment, the connection component 12 can be connected to the energy storage component 10 via the charging component 11. For example, the charging component 11 and the energy storage component 10 can be directly connected, or they can be indirectly connected. For instance, by connecting the charging component 11 to a DC bus and the energy storage component 10 to a DC bus, the charging component 11 and the energy storage component 10 can be indirectly connected via the DC bus.
[0140] In this embodiment of the application, the charging component 11 can charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode by using the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit 100 in the energy storage component 10 when the connection component 12 is connected to the target electrical device.
[0141] In this embodiment of the application, the ratio between the rated energy of the first energy storage unit 100 in the energy storage component 10 and the maximum charge / discharge power of the first energy storage unit 100 is greater than or equal to a first preset ratio threshold, wherein the first preset ratio threshold can be a positive number greater than 1. For example, the ratio between the rated energy of the first energy storage unit 100 and the maximum charge / discharge power of the first energy storage unit 100 is greater than or equal to (i.e., not less than) 1:0.5.
[0142] For ease of understanding, the charge / discharge rate of the battery is briefly described in the embodiments of this application.
[0143] The charge / discharge rate of a battery refers to the current required for the battery to charge or discharge its rated capacity (or rated energy) within a specified time. Specifically, the charge / discharge rate is equal to the ratio of the charge / discharge current to the battery's rated capacity.
[0144] Therefore, given a constant charging and discharging current, the larger the rated capacity (or rated energy) of the battery, the smaller the charge and discharge rate of the battery.
[0145] In this embodiment, by ensuring that the ratio between the rated energy of the first energy storage unit 100 and its maximum charge / discharge power is greater than or equal to a first preset ratio threshold (i.e., the rated energy of the first energy storage unit 100 is greater than its maximum charge / discharge power), the following advantages are achieved: First, the charge / discharge rate of the first energy storage unit 100 is reduced, eliminating the need for a corresponding thermal management system in the energy storage device, allowing for natural cooling and thus saving costs. Second, the charge / discharge power of the first energy storage unit 100 is increased, ensuring it meets the charging needs of the electrical equipment.
[0146] In one possible implementation, when the charging component 11 is directly connected to the energy storage component 10, the charging component 11 can directly utilize the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit 100 in the energy storage component 10 to charge the target electrical device through the connection component 12 according to the target charging mode, provided that the connection component 12 is connected to the target electrical device.
[0147] In another possible implementation, where the charging component 11 and the energy storage component 10 can be indirectly connected via a DC bus, the charging component 11 can indirectly utilize the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit 100 in the energy storage component 10 to charge the target electrical device via the connection component 12, according to the target charging mode, when the target electrical device is connected to the connection component 12. The first energy storage unit 100 can output electrical energy to the DC bus.
[0148] It should be understood that if other energy storage devices, or other components or units for storing electrical energy are connected to the DC bus, the charging component 11 can also use the electrical energy stored in the other energy storage devices, other components or other units to charge the target electrical equipment through the connection component 12 according to the target charging mode.
[0149] For example, the target charging mode in this application embodiment may refer to a DC charging mode. The target charging mode may include, but is not limited to, a first charging mode or a second charging mode. The charge / discharge rate of the first charging mode may be greater than that of the second charging mode, and the charging speed of the first charging mode may be greater than that of the second charging mode. For example, the first charging mode may be called a supercharging mode, and the second charging mode may be called a fast charging mode.
[0150] As can be seen, the energy storage and charging device in this embodiment of the application is equipped with an energy storage component that can store electrical energy, and the charging component can charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode by using the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit in the energy storage component when the connecting component is connected to the target electrical device. This way, the target electrical device can be charged by using the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit in the energy storage component, without directly using the power grid to charge the target electrical device. This can alleviate the power demand on the power grid, thereby relieving the pressure on the transformer connected to the power grid. Therefore, this embodiment of the application does not require the addition of a transformer or the expansion of the transformer, which helps to save the cost of adding the energy storage and charging device.
[0151] In summary, in this embodiment, the energy storage and charging device may include: an energy storage component, a charging component, and a connection component. The connection component is connected to the energy storage component via the charging component. The charging component, when the connection component is connected to a target electrical device, utilizes the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit of the energy storage component to charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode via the connection component. Therefore, the charging component in this embodiment can charge the target electrical device using the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit of the energy storage component, without directly using the grid's electrical energy. This alleviates the demand on the grid and reduces the pressure on the transformer connected to the grid. Thus, this embodiment eliminates the need to add a transformer or expand its capacity, thereby saving on the cost of adding the energy storage and charging device. Furthermore, by ensuring that the ratio between the rated energy of the first energy storage unit and its maximum charge / discharge power is greater than or equal to a first preset ratio threshold (i.e., the rated energy of the first energy storage unit is greater than its maximum charge / discharge power), the following advantages are achieved: First, the charge / discharge rate of the first energy storage unit can be reduced, eliminating the need for a corresponding thermal management system in the energy storage and charging equipment, thus further saving on the cost of adding the equipment. Second, the charge / discharge power of the first energy storage unit can be increased, ensuring that it meets the charging needs of the electrical equipment.
[0152] In some embodiments, the maximum charging and discharging power of the first energy storage unit 100 in this application embodiment can be greater than or equal to the maximum preset charging and discharging power corresponding to the target charging mode, which is beneficial to ensure that the charging and discharging power of the first energy storage unit 100 can meet the charging needs of the target electrical equipment according to the target charging mode.
[0153] For example, when the target charging mode is the first charging mode, the maximum preset charging and discharging power can be greater than or equal to 360kW. As another example, when the target charging mode is the second charging mode, the maximum preset charging and discharging power can be greater than or equal to 50kW.
[0154] In some embodiments, when the target charging mode is a first charging mode, the first energy storage unit 100 can charge the target electrical device through the connection component 12 at a first discharge rate not greater than a first preset discharge rate threshold, wherein the first preset discharge rate threshold is the maximum preset discharge rate corresponding to the first charging mode. For example, the first preset discharge rate threshold can be greater than or equal to 4C. For instance, the first discharge rate can include, but is not limited to, 4C.
[0155] In some embodiments, when the target charging mode is the second charging mode, the first energy storage unit 100 can charge the target electrical device through the connection component 12 at a second discharge rate not greater than the second preset discharge rate threshold; wherein, the second preset discharge rate threshold is the maximum preset discharge rate corresponding to the second charging mode, the first preset discharge rate threshold can be greater than the second preset discharge rate threshold, and the first discharge rate can be greater than the second discharge rate.
[0156] For example, the second preset discharge rate threshold can be greater than or equal to 1C and less than 4C. For instance, the second discharge rate can include, but is not limited to, 2C or 3C.
[0157] As can be seen, the first energy storage unit 100 in this embodiment can charge the target electrical equipment according to different discharge rates based on different target charging modes, which can improve charging flexibility and is beneficial for adapting to electrical equipment of different specifications.
[0158] In some embodiments, the first energy storage unit 100 of this application embodiment can store electrical energy when the grid load is less than a preset load threshold, so that the charging component 11 can use the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit 100 to charge the target electrical device when the connection component 12 is connected to the target electrical device. The preset load threshold refers to the load boundary value corresponding to whether the grid load is light or heavy. For example, if the grid load is less than the preset load threshold, it can be determined that the grid load is light (or that the transformer connected to the grid has a surplus of electrical energy); if the grid load is not less than the preset load threshold, it can be determined that the grid load is heavy (or that the transformer connected to the grid has insufficient electrical energy).
[0159] For example, the first energy storage unit 100 can determine that the load on the power grid is less than a preset load threshold when the detected power of the transformer connected to the power grid is less than the product of the transformer's rated power and a preset coefficient, thereby storing electrical energy. The preset coefficient can be a coefficient less than 0 to 1, for example, 0.7.
[0160] Of course, other methods can also be used to determine whether the load on the power grid is less than the preset load threshold.
[0161] It should be understood that the way the first energy storage unit 100 stores electrical energy when the grid load is less than a preset load threshold will not affect the grid's supply of power to the basic load equipment through transformers, and can also make full and reasonable use of the electrical energy surplus within the existing transformer capacity. The basic load equipment may include, but is not limited to, residential load equipment and / or industrial and commercial load equipment.
[0162] Furthermore, considering the need to save on electricity costs, the first energy storage unit 100 can store electricity when the grid load is less than a preset load threshold and the current period is a low-price period for grid electricity, so as to save on the cost of electricity storage.
[0163] As can be seen, in this embodiment, the method of storing electrical energy by the first energy storage unit 100 when the load of the power grid is less than the preset load threshold not only does not affect the power grid supplying power to the basic load equipment through the transformer, but also makes full and reasonable use of the electrical energy surplus within the capacity of the existing transformer. This allows the charging component 11 to charge the target electrical equipment using the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit 100 when the target electrical equipment is connected to the connection component 12, without having to directly use the power grid to charge the target electrical equipment. This can alleviate the pressure on the transformer connected to the power grid. Therefore, this embodiment does not require the addition of a transformer or the expansion of the transformer capacity, which helps to save the cost of adding the energy storage and charging equipment.
[0164] In some embodiments, this application provides further exemplary descriptions of the relevant content of the first energy storage unit. The first energy storage unit 100 of this application may include, but is not limited to, multiple battery packs, wherein different battery packs have different battery performance parameters. For example, battery performance parameters may include, but are not limited to, battery life parameters and / or remaining battery capacity (State of Charge, SOC).
[0165] For example, the battery pack in the first energy storage unit 100 in this application embodiment may include, but is not limited to, a cascaded battery pack. A cascaded battery pack refers to the process of dismantling, testing, and screening retired power lithium battery packs (such as battery packs retired from passenger cars or commercial vehicles) or cells, and then reassembling them into a healthy battery pack or system to achieve resource reuse.
[0166] The first energy storage unit 100 in this embodiment can store electrical energy in a target battery pack among multiple batteries based on the balance of battery performance parameters when the load on the power grid is less than a preset load threshold.
[0167] For example, when the grid load is less than a preset load threshold, the first energy storage unit 100 can determine a target battery pack from multiple batteries based on the balance of battery performance parameters, and store energy in the target battery pack. It should be noted that "target battery pack" is a general term and can refer to one or more target battery packs.
[0168] It should be understood that in this embodiment, the target battery pack in the first energy storage unit 100 may be prioritized for energy storage. If the energy storage of the target battery pack is completed, and there is still energy available for charging the energy storage device, energy storage may be performed on other battery packs in the first energy storage unit 100 based on the balance of battery performance parameters, and so on, until there is no energy available for charging the energy storage device or all battery packs in the first energy storage unit 100 have completed energy storage.
[0169] In this embodiment, the charging component 11 can specifically charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode by using the electrical energy stored in the target battery pack when the connection component 12 is connected to the target electrical device.
[0170] In summary, in this embodiment, the first energy storage unit can store electrical energy in a target battery pack among multiple batteries based on the balance of battery performance parameters when the grid load is less than a preset load threshold. Furthermore, when a target electrical device is connected to the connection component, the charging component can utilize the electrical energy stored in the target battery pack to charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode via the connection component. Therefore, in this embodiment, by storing electrical energy in a target battery pack among multiple batteries based on the balance of battery performance parameters and using the stored electrical energy to charge the target electrical device, the method can save on the cost of adding storage and charging equipment and also improve the service life of the first energy storage unit.
[0171] In some embodiments, FIG2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a storage and charging device provided in other embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG2, in order to further increase the rated energy of the storage and charging device, the energy storage component 10 of the present application embodiment may further include a second energy storage unit 101, wherein the charge and discharge rate of the second energy storage unit 101 is greater than the charge and discharge rate of the first energy storage unit 100.
[0172] In this embodiment of the application, the ratio between the rated energy of the second energy storage unit 101 and the maximum charge / discharge power of the second energy storage unit 101 is less than or equal to a second preset ratio threshold, wherein the second preset ratio threshold is less than a first preset ratio threshold. For example, the ratio between the rated energy of the second energy storage unit 101 and the maximum charge / discharge power of the second energy storage unit 101 is less than or equal to (i.e., not greater than) 1:3.
[0173] The second energy storage unit 101 in this embodiment can store electrical energy when the grid load is less than a preset load threshold. For example, the second energy storage unit 101 and the first energy storage unit 100 can store electrical energy separately when the grid load is less than the preset load threshold. In another example, the second energy storage unit 101 can store electrical energy when the grid load is less than the preset load threshold and the first energy storage unit 100 has completed its energy storage.
[0174] Furthermore, considering the need to save on electricity costs, the second energy storage unit 101 can store electricity when the grid load is less than a preset load threshold and the current period is a low-price period for grid electricity, so as to save on the cost of electricity storage.
[0175] The charging component 11 in this embodiment can also charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode by using the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit 100 and / or the second energy storage unit 101 through the connection component 12 when the connection component 12 is connected to the target electrical device.
[0176] In one possible implementation, the charging component 11 can specifically utilize the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit 100 to charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode via the connection component 12. If the remaining electrical energy in the first energy storage unit 100 is less than the first preset electrical energy threshold, the charging component 11 can utilize the electrical energy stored in the second energy storage unit 101 to charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode via the connection component 12.
[0177] In this implementation, the charging component 11 prioritizes using the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit 100 to charge the target electrical device. When the remaining electrical energy in the first energy storage unit 100 is insufficient, the electrical energy stored in the second energy storage unit 101 is then used to charge the target electrical device. Since the first energy storage unit 100 can be cooled naturally, prioritizing the use of the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit 100 for charging helps save thermal management costs.
[0178] In another possible implementation, the charging component 11 can specifically use the electrical energy stored in the second energy storage unit 101 to charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode through the connection component 12. When the remaining electrical energy in the second energy storage unit 101 is less than the second preset electrical energy threshold, the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit 100 can be used to charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode through the connection component 12.
[0179] In this implementation, the charging component 11 prioritizes using the electrical energy stored in the second energy storage unit 101 to charge the target electrical device. When the remaining electrical energy in the second energy storage unit 101 is insufficient, the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit 100 is then used to charge the target electrical device. Since the charge / discharge rate of the second energy storage unit is greater than that of the first energy storage unit, prioritizing the use of the electrical energy stored in the second energy storage unit for charging is beneficial to improving the charging speed.
[0180] In another possible implementation, the charging component 11 can specifically utilize the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit 100 and the second energy storage unit 101 to charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode through the connection component 12.
[0181] In summary, in this embodiment, the energy storage component further includes a second energy storage unit with a charge / discharge rate greater than that of the first energy storage unit. The second energy storage unit can store electrical energy when the grid load is less than a preset load threshold. Furthermore, the charging component can, when the connection component is connected to a target electrical device, utilize the electrical energy stored in the first and / or second energy storage units to charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode. Therefore, in this embodiment, by using the charging component to charge the target electrical device with the electrical energy stored in the first and / or second energy storage units when the connection component is connected to the target electrical device, the flexibility of charging the target electrical device can be improved, thereby enhancing the power supply stability of the energy storage and charging device.

For example, preset discharge conditions may include, but are not limited to, receiving a discharge command or receiving a discharge request.
[0187] In this embodiment, the energy storage component is connected to the DC bus, which can store electrical energy provided by the DC bus when the load of the power grid is less than a preset load threshold, and output electrical energy to the DC bus when the preset discharge conditions are met. This not only improves the convenience of storing and releasing electrical energy, but also improves the convenience of power transmission to other devices or components on the DC bus.
[0188] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3, the charging component 11 in this application embodiment can be connected to the DC bus B. DC The connection is made so that an indirect connection with the energy storage component 10 can be achieved.

DC Output electrical energy, DC bus B DC Other energy storage and charging devices, other components, or other units connected to the DC bus B DC The electrical energy output.
[0191] In this embodiment, the charging component is connected to the DC bus. When the connecting component is connected to the target electrical device, it can also use the power provided by the DC bus to charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode. This allows the charging component to obtain sufficient power from the DC bus to charge the target electrical device, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the target electrical device.
[0192] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3, the connection component 12 in this application embodiment can also be connected to the DC bus BDC. The connection component 12 can also transmit electrical energy from the target electrical equipment to the DC bus BDC. DC To facilitate DC bus B DC The electrical energy of the target electrical equipment can be transmitted to the power grid, or DC bus B. DCConnecting to other energy storage and charging devices, components, or units enables Vehicle to Grid (VtoG) or Vehicle to Energy Storage System (VtoESS) functionality. VtoG refers to the vehicle's electrical energy charging the grid; VtoESS refers to the vehicle's electrical energy charging energy storage devices or other components.
[0193] It should be understood that at DC bus B DC If the provided electrical voltage can meet the voltage requirements of the target electrical equipment, the connection component 12 can also directly utilize the DC bus B. DC The provided electrical energy is used to charge the target electrical equipment.
[0194] For example, the connection component 12 can be connected to the DC bus B via an AC path with switchable on / off states. DC Connection. Specifically, when the AC path is in the conducting state, connection component 12 is connected to DC bus B. DC Electrical energy can be transferred between them; when the AC path is open, the connecting component 12 and the DC bus B... DC Electrical energy cannot be transferred between them.
[0195] As can be seen, in this embodiment of the application, the connection component is also connected to the DC bus, and the connection component can also transmit the electrical energy of the target electrical equipment to the DC bus, which can realize the VtoG function or VtoESS function, which is beneficial to improving the power supply flexibility of the power grid system.
[0196] In some embodiments, FIG4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a storage and charging device provided in other embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG4, in order to better realize the linkage control of the storage and charging device, the storage and charging device in this embodiment of the application may further include a control component 13 connected to the energy storage component 10 and the charging component 11. It should be understood that the control component 13 may also be connected to the connection component 12, so that when the connection component 12 is connected to a target electrical device, it can send an electrical device connection signal to the control component 13, so that the control component 13 can know that the connection component 12 is connected to a target electrical device based on the electrical device connection signal. The electrical device connection signal may include, but is not limited to, the identification information of the connection component 12 and / or the identification information of the target electrical device.

[0198] For example, when the control component 13 learns that the connection component 12 is connected to a target electrical device, it controls the charging component 11 to use the electrical energy stored in the energy storage component 10 (e.g., the first energy storage unit 100 and / or the second energy storage unit 101) to charge the target electrical device through the connection component 12 according to the target charging mode.

[0373] The monitoring device in this application embodiment can be used to implement the technical solution in the above-mentioned electrical equipment charging system embodiment of this application. Its implementation principle and technical effect are similar, and will not be repeated here.
[0374] In some embodiments, FIG14 is a schematic flowchart of a power control method provided in some embodiments of this application. The power control method of this application can be applied to the energy storage components in the above-described energy storage and charging device embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG14, the method of this application embodiment may include the following steps:
[0375] Step S1401: The energy storage component sends its electrical energy storage information to the control component of the energy storage and charging equipment.
[0376] For example, energy storage information may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: rated energy, remaining capacity, and number of charge / discharge cycles (or cycle life).
[0377] In this step, the energy storage component can send its energy storage information to the control component of the charging device, so that the control component can determine the charging parameters of the target electrical device based on the energy storage information and the power demand of the target electrical device. These charging parameters may include, but are not limited to, charging voltage and / or charging current.
[0378] Step S1402: In response to the opening of the discharge path, the energy storage component outputs target electrical energy to the charging component of the energy storage and charging device using the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit in the energy storage component. The target electrical energy is used by the charging component to charge the target electrical device through the connection component of the energy storage and charging device according to the target charging mode.
[0379] Wherein, the ratio between the rated energy of the first energy storage unit and the maximum charge / discharge power of the first energy storage unit is greater than or equal to a first preset ratio threshold; the first preset ratio threshold is a positive number greater than 1.
[0380] For example, the energy storage component in this application embodiment can be connected to the charging component through a discharge path, so that when the control component controls the discharge path to be in a conducting state, the energy storage component can output the target electrical energy to the charging component. It should be understood that when the control component controls the discharge path to be in a closed state, the energy storage component cannot output the target electrical energy to the charging component.
[0381] In this step, the energy storage component can, in response to the opening of the discharge path, use the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit in the energy storage component to output target electrical energy to the charging component of the charging device, so that the charging component can use the target electrical energy to charge the target electrical device according to the target charging mode through the connection component of the charging device. For example, the control component can control the charging component to charge the target electrical device with reference to the above charging parameters.
[0382] It should be understood that there is no need to set up a discharge path between the energy storage component and the charging component. The control component can control whether the energy storage component outputs the target electrical energy to the charging component through the program, or it can also control whether the energy storage component outputs the target electrical energy to the charging component through other means.
[0383] It should be noted that the possible ways in which the charging component uses the electrical energy stored in the energy storage component to charge the target electrical device can be referred to the relevant content in the above-mentioned energy storage and charging device embodiments of this application, and will not be repeated here.
[0384] In summary, in this embodiment, the energy storage component sends its energy storage information to the control component of the charging device. Furthermore, in response to the opening of the discharge path, the energy storage component uses the energy stored in the first energy storage unit to output target energy to the charging component of the charging device, so that the charging component can use the target energy to charge the target device according to the target charging mode through the connection component of the charging device. Therefore, in this embodiment, the charging component can charge the target device using the target energy output from the first energy storage unit, without directly using the grid's power. This alleviates the demand on the grid and reduces the pressure on the transformer connected to the grid. Thus, this embodiment eliminates the need to add or expand the transformer, saving on the cost of adding the charging device. In addition, by ensuring that the ratio between the rated energy of the first energy storage unit and the maximum charge / discharge power of the first energy storage unit is greater than or equal to the first preset ratio threshold (i.e., the rated energy of the first energy storage unit is greater than the maximum charge / discharge power), it is beneficial to reduce the charge / discharge rate of the first energy storage unit, so that the energy storage module does not need to be equipped with a thermal management system corresponding to the first energy storage unit, thereby saving the cost of the energy storage module.
[0385] In some embodiments, the maximum charge / discharge power of the first energy storage unit is greater than or equal to the maximum preset charge / discharge power corresponding to the target charging mode.
[0386] In some embodiments, when the target charging mode is the first charging mode, the first energy storage unit can output target electrical energy to the charging component of the energy storage device at a first discharge rate not greater than a first preset discharge rate threshold; the first preset discharge rate threshold is the maximum preset discharge rate corresponding to the first charging mode.
[0387] In some embodiments, when the target charging mode is the second charging mode, the first energy storage unit can output target electrical energy to the charging component of the energy storage device at a second discharge rate not greater than the second preset discharge rate threshold; wherein, the second preset discharge rate threshold is the maximum preset discharge rate corresponding to the second charging mode, the first preset discharge rate threshold is greater than the second preset discharge rate threshold, and the first discharge rate is greater than the second discharge rate.
[0388] In some embodiments, the energy storage component further includes a second energy storage unit, wherein the charge / discharge rate of the second energy storage unit is greater than the charge / discharge rate of the first energy storage unit;
[0389] In response to the opening of the discharge path, the energy storage component can also use the electrical energy stored in the first energy storage unit and / or the second energy storage unit in the energy storage component to output target electrical energy to the charging component of the charging device; wherein, the ratio between the rated energy of the second energy storage unit and the maximum charging and discharging power of the second energy storage unit is less than or equal to a second preset ratio threshold, and the second preset ratio threshold is less than a first preset ratio threshold.
[0390] In some embodiments, the second energy storage unit satisfies one or more of the following conditions:
[0391] The ratio between the rated energy of the second energy storage unit and the maximum discharge power of the second energy storage unit shall not exceed 1:3;
[0392] The energy density of the second energy storage unit is greater than or equal to 380 Wh / L;
[0393] The ratio between the rated energy of the second energy storage unit and the maximum charging power of the charging component is less than 1:4.
[0394] In some embodiments, any energy storage unit in the energy storage assembly includes multiple battery packs, and the rated energy of the energy storage unit includes the sum of the rated energies of the multiple battery packs.
[0395] The rated energy (or rated energy storage energy, or rated energy storage energy) of any energy storage unit involved in the embodiments of this application can refer to the total electrical energy that the energy storage unit can provide to an external system after being fully charged. Correspondingly, the rated energy of any battery pack involved in the embodiments of this application refers to the total electrical energy that the battery pack can provide to an external system after being fully charged.
[0396] It should be understood that the rated energy of an energy storage component may include the sum of the rated energy of each energy storage unit.
[0397] The energy storage components in this application embodiment can be used to implement the relevant technical solutions of the energy storage components in the above-mentioned energy storage and charging equipment embodiments of this application. Their implementation principles and technical effects are similar, and will not be repeated here.
