Abstract

Provided are an energy storage system case and an energy storage system including the same. An energy storage system case includes: a body unit including a battery accommodating unit configured to accommodate a plurality of batteries, and a control module mounting unit on both sides of which control modules are configured to be mounted to control charge/discharge of a plurality of batteries; a casing cover coupled to the body unit; and a heat-dissipation unit located opposite the casing cover and coupled to the control module mounting unit to dissipate heat generated by a first control module among the control modules to an outside thereof.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An energy storage system case comprising:
a body unit comprising a battery accommodating unit configured to accommodate a plurality of batteries, and a control module mounting unit comprising a mounting plate on both sides of which control modules are configured to be mounted to control charge/discharge of the plurality of batteries, the mounting plate having an opening extending from a first side of the mounting plate to a second side of the mounting plate opposite the first side;
a casing cover coupled to the body unit to face the first side of the mounting plate; and
a heat-dissipation unit located opposite the casing cover and coupled to the mounting plate to dissipate heat generated by a first control module among the control modules to an outside thereof,
wherein the heat-dissipation unit is coupled to the second side of the mounting plate to completely block the opening such that a space between the mounting plate and the casing cover is sealed from an external environment.

2. The energy storage system case of claim 1 , wherein the first side and the second side of the mounting plate are in communication with each other through the opening.

3. The energy storage system case of claim 2 , wherein the first control module is configured to be mounted on the first side of the mounting plate to contact the heat-dissipation unit mounted on the second side of the mounting plate through the opening.

4. The energy storage system case of claim 3 , wherein
the first control module is configured to be arranged between the casing cover and the first side of the mounting plate and closed from an outside thereof by the casing cover and the heat-dissipation unit.

5. An energy storage system case comprising:
a body unit comprising a battery accommodating unit configured to accommodate a plurality of batteries, and a control module mounting unit on both sides of which control modules are configured to be mounted to control charge/discharge of the plurality of batteries;
a casing cover coupled to the body unit; and
a heat-dissipation unit located opposite the casing cover and coupled to the control module mounting unit to dissipate heat generated by a first control module among the control modules to an outside thereof,
wherein the control module mounting unit comprises a mounting plate having an opening formed therein, and a first side and a second side of the mounting plate are in communication with each other through the opening,
wherein a first control module is configured to be mounted on the first side of the mounting plate to contact the heat-dissipation unit mounted on the second side of the mounting plate through the opening,
wherein the heat-dissipation unit is coupled to the second side of the mounting plate to block the opening,
wherein the casing cover is coupled to the body unit to face the first side of the mounting plate, and
the first control module is configured to be arranged between the casing cover and the first side of the mounting plate and closed from an outside thereof by the casing cover and the heat-dissipation unit, and
wherein the heat-dissipation unit comprises a base unit and a heat-dissipation fin extending from the base unit, and
the base unit and the second side of the mounting plate are adhered to each other by an adhesion unit arranged therebetween.

6. The energy storage system case of claim 5 , wherein the adhesion unit comprises a first adhesion layer, a second adhesion layer, and a foam layer located between the first adhesion layer and the second adhesion layer.

7. The energy storage system case of claim 5 , wherein the adhesion unit is arranged around the opening.

8. The energy storage system case of claim 3 , wherein
a second control module among the control modules is configured to be mounted on the second side of the mounting plate spaced apart from the heat-dissipation unit, and
the first control module has a larger heat generation amount than the second control module in an operation for controlling the charge/discharge of the plurality of batteries.

9. The energy storage system case of claim 8 , further comprising a control module cover coupled to the second side of the mounting plate and configured to cover the second control module,
wherein the control module cover and the second side of the mounting plate are adhered to each other by an adhesion unit arranged therebetween.

10. The energy storage system case of claim 3 , further comprising a heat-dissipation cover coupled to the body unit to face the second side of the mounting plate,
wherein each of the heat-dissipation cover and the casing cover forms a flat surface with the battery accommodating unit.

11. An energy storage system comprising the energy storage system case of claim 1 , the energy storage system further comprising the plurality of batteries, the plurality of batteries being accommodated in the battery accommodating unit, and further comprising the control modules, the control modules being mounted on both sides of the control module mounting unit and configured to control charge/discharge of the plurality of batteries.

12. The energy storage system of claim 11 , wherein the first side and the second side of the mounting plate are in communication with each other through the opening.

13. The energy storage system of claim 12 , wherein
a first control module among the control modules is mounted on the first side of the mounting plate, and
the first control module contacts the heat-dissipation unit mounted on the second side of the mounting plate through the opening.

14. The energy storage system of claim 13 , wherein
the first control module between the casing cover and the first side of the mounting plate is closed from an outside thereof by the casing cover and the heat-dissipation unit.

15. The energy storage system of claim 14 , wherein
the heat-dissipation unit comprises a base unit and a heat-dissipation fin extending from the base unit, and
the base unit and the second side of the mounting plate are adhered to each other by an adhesion unit arranged therebetween.

16. An energy storage system comprising:
an energy storage system case comprising a body unit;
a plurality of batteries accommodated in a battery accommodating unit of the body unit; and
control modules mounted on both sides of a control module mounting unit of the body unit and configured to control charge/discharge of the plurality of batteries,
wherein the energy storage system case comprises:
the body unit comprising the battery accommodating unit configured to accommodate the plurality of batteries, and the control module mounting unit on both sides of which the control modules are configured to be mounted to control charge/discharge of the plurality of batteries;
a casing cover coupled to the body unit; and
