Abstract: A load lock in which the pumping speed is controlled so as to minimize the possibility of condensation is disclosed. The load lock is in communication with a vacuum pump and a valve. A controller is used to control the valve such that the supersaturation ratio within the load lock does not exceed a predetermined threshold, which is less than or equal to the critical value at which vapor condenses. In certain embodiments, a computer model is used to generate a profile, which may be a pumping speed profile or a pressure profile, and the valve is controlled according to the profile. In another embodiment, the load lock comprises a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor. The controller may calculate the supersaturation ratio based on these parameters and control the valve accordingly.

Abstract: A calibration system and a calibration method for state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) in an energy storage system are provided. The calibration system includes a Main Battery Management System (MBMS) and a plurality of racks, wherein, when the MBMS determines that one of the plurality of racks meets auto-calibration conditions, the MBMS utilizes a battery feature value extraction algorithm to obtain feature value data of each of battery packs, and predicts the number of battery cycles for each of the battery packs via a battery aging correction model. In this way, the SOC and the SOH for each of the battery packs can be accurately calculated, so that maintenance personnel can clearly comprehend the status of each of the racks, thereby improving the efficiency of power management.
