The energy storage system is a device integrating a battery and a control cabinet, the control cabinet is connected with the battery in a coupling way, the battery is managed, the storage and output of electric energy are realized by utilizing the conversion between electric energy and chemical energy, the battery can be used as a standby power supply, peak clipping and valley filling are carried out when the power supply of the power system is uneven, or frequency modulation is carried out when the load or the power generation of the power system is large, or the battery is applied to a light-storage power generation system.
The energy storage system is transported from a production side (manufacturer) to a user side (consumer), and for the convenience of transportation, the battery is placed in a battery compartment, and the battery compartment and the control cabinet are integrated into a whole to form a prefabricated compartment and then placed in a standard container. The standard container is required to meet international standards defined by the international organization for standardization ISO, in which the dimensions of the standard container are specified, including the length, width and height of the standard container; and the nominal weight of a standard container is defined.
The inventors have found that the prefabricated compartment is limited by the size and weight rating of the standard container and that the number of batteries provided in the prefabricated compartment is limited, resulting in a relatively low number of batteries in the battery compartment. Based on the above problems, the inventor considers that the battery compartment and the control cabinet are independently arranged, and are transported independently, and are matched for use after being transported to a user side. After the battery compartment and the control cabinet are independently arranged, the size and the weight of the battery compartment can be expanded, so that the number of batteries in the battery compartment can be increased. However, the expanded battery compartment still needs to be placed in the container, the container has a certain weight, and the size of the expanded battery compartment may need to be far smaller than the assembly size inside the container on the premise that the rated weight of the standard container is met due to the relatively large weight of the battery, in other words, the expanded battery compartment is still limited by the internal space of the standard container, so that the number of batteries of the battery compartment cannot be significantly increased, and the overall energy density of the energy storage system is low.
Based on the above-mentioned problems found by the inventors, the inventors have improved and proposed an energy storage container combination structure which can be applied to the loading and transportation of other articles with relatively large weight in addition to the energy storage of a battery, and embodiments of the present application will be further described below.

The energy storage container 10 may not conform to ISO-established international standards in terms of the external dimensions (at least one of length, width and height) of the energy storage container 10 due to being limited by the nominal weight of a standard container, and illustratively the width and height of the energy storage container 10 conform to ISO international standards, but the length thereof does not conform to ISO international standards. Alternatively, the energy storage container 10 may have a width that meets the ISO international standard, but a height and length that does not meet the ISO international standard. Alternatively, the length of the energy storage container 10 meets ISO international standards, but the width and length do not meet ISO international standards. Still alternatively, the length, width and height of the energy storage container 10 do not meet ISO international standards. The foregoing is merely illustrative of the energy storage container 10 and is not intended to limit the scope of embodiments of the present application.
The battery 110 includes a plurality of battery cells 111, and the plurality of battery cells 111 may be connected in series or parallel or in parallel, and the series-parallel refers to that the plurality of battery cells 111 are connected in series or parallel. The plurality of battery cells 111 may be directly connected in series or parallel or in series-parallel to form the battery 110. Of course, a plurality of battery cells 111 may be connected in series or parallel or series-parallel to form a battery module, and then connected in series or parallel or series-parallel to form a whole as the battery 110.

The housing 1112a may be a variety of shapes, such as a cylinder, a rectangular parallelepiped, etc. The shape of the case 1112a may be determined according to the specific shape of the electrode assembly 1111. For example, if the electrode assembly 1111 is a cylindrical structure, a cylindrical case may be selected; if the electrode assembly 1111 has a rectangular parallelepiped structure, a rectangular parallelepiped case may be selected.
The frame assembly 20 includes a frame structure formed by a plurality of cross bars and a plurality of vertical bars.

Illustratively, the energy storage container 10 has a width and a height that conform to the ISO international standard, but a length that is less than the ISO international standard, and the length of the energy storage container 10 may be extended by providing the frame assembly 20 such that the length of the energy storage container assembly 1 conforms to the ISO international standard. Alternatively, the width, height and length of the energy storage container 10 are smaller than the dimensions specified in the ISO international standard, and the width, height and length of the energy storage container 10 can be extended by the frame assembly 20 so that the width, height and length of the energy storage container combination structure 1 all conform to the ISO international standard.
The number of frame assemblies 20 is one or more, and the particular number may be determined based on the external dimensions, external shape, etc. of the energy storage container 10.

In the embodiment of the application, the energy storage container 10 is directly used as a transportation container body, the energy storage container 10 is not required to be arranged in a standard container, and the energy storage container 10 can remarkably expand the number of the batteries 110, so that the energy density of the energy storage container 10 is improved. The energy storage container 10 is sized to be non-compliant with ISO international standards in at least one of the first direction X, the second direction Y, or the third direction Z by being connected to the frame assembly 20 to extend the size to be compliant with ISO international standards.
