CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS AND PRIORITY
The present application claims priority from IN patent application no. 202341017647, filed on March 16, 2023. The entire contents of the aforementioned application are incorporated herein by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a field of energy storage systems/modules. More specifically, the present invention relates to a power path conditioning assembly for an energy storage system.
BACKGROUND
This section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of art, which may be related to various aspects of the present disclosure that are described or claimed below. This discussion is believed to be helpful in providing the reader with background information to facilitate a better understanding of the various aspects of the present disclosure. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements in this background section are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
Heating inefficiency poses a significant challenge in the architecture of energy storage system (ESS) assemblies, particularly in electric vehicles (EVs). Within these systems, heating issues primarily stem from the inefficient cooling of critical components such as the Battery Management System (BMS) and power path circuitry.

Conventional ESS assemblies typically prioritize cooling mechanisms for the cells while neglecting other electrical components such as connectors, BMS, and power path circuitry. Consequently, these components remain in continuous heating conditions, leading to premature degradation of the ESS assembly.
Moreover, complex spacer arrangements and insulating materials used in conventional designs worsen heating issues. Insulating spacers made of plastic or rubber are prone to heat damage, potentially causing short circuits and reducing insulating properties. This inefficient cooling exacerbates the problem, accelerating the degradation of the ESS assembly.
Additionally, cooling plate arrangements, with separate coolant inlet/outlet for each plate, introduce variability in cooling efficiency and complicate the architecture, further contributing to heating inefficiency. This results in the unsatisfactory performance and reduced lifespan of the ESS assembly.
Fast charging worsens thermal issues in the power path circuitry of ESS assemblies. The high current flow during fast charging lacks proper thermal conditioning, leading to overheating of the power path circuitry. Traditional cooling mechanisms fail to adequately address this issue, leaving the BMS and power path circuitry overheated while cooling the cells.
Despite advancements, modern developments still lack a comprehensive cooling mechanism for the entire ESS assembly, including the BMS and power path circuitry. Consequently, existing systems and methods for cooling and mounting the BMS prove inefficient both practically and commercially.
Addressing these challenges necessitates the development of a combined ESS architecture with an efficient cooling and mounting mechanism for the BMS as an integral part of the assembly. Such advancements can preserve and enhance the efficacy of ESS assemblies and conditioning stations to maintain optimal operating conditions for the entire system. Therefore, there is a critical need for a power path conditioning assembly for energy storage systems.
