    Abstract: An energy storage cabinet. An additional power converter is added between an energy storage apparatus and an air conditioning system, in order to meet a power supply requirement of the air conditioning system in a case of a low voltage ride-through and an off-grid black start. In the case of the low voltage ride-through and the off-grid black start, the power converter converts electric energy of the energy storage apparatus to supply power to the air conditioning system. After a voltage of a power grid is normal or a start is completed, a conversion circuit in the air conditioning system is configured to obtain power from the power grid.

    Abstract: An energy storage cabinet includes a battery rack and a power conversion system. A switch unit is connected between a battery unit and the power conversion system. A first end of the power conversion system is connected to a bus. When an energy storage cabinet in the energy storage system is started, a voltage at the first end of the power conversion system is greater than a first preset voltage.

  • Patent number: 12206323
    Abstract: A bridgeless PFC circuit includes: a control module that collects a current flowing through a current sampling element; and when the current flowing through the current sampling element is greater than a first threshold, the control module controls a switch element to be turned on. Based on the current flowing through the current sampling element, the switch element can be controlled to be turned on, thereby implementing zero-voltage turn-on of the switch element. Because the collected current does not change abruptly, a delay requirement on a sampling control circuit included in the control module is lowered, and a signal anti-interference capability of the control module is strong.
