Claims15
A battery pack comprising:
- a battery comprising at least one battery cell;
- a power line communicator connected to a current path of the battery to detect a first data signal that is on the current path, that is output from a master communicator coupled to multiple batteries, that flows along the current path via the battery, and that comprises a data signal corresponding to a location of the battery or a control signal for the battery, and connected in parallel to the battery such that a first terminal of the power line communicator is connected to a first terminal of the battery, and a second terminal of the power line communicator is connected to a second terminal of the battery;
- and
- a battery management system (BMS) configured to receive the first data signal from the power line communicator, and to control the battery according to the first data signal.

An energy storage system (ESS) comprising:
- a plurality of battery packs connected to each other in series;
- a master communicator configured to output a first data signal via a current path along the plurality of battery packs;
- and
- a controller configured to control the master communicator to output the first data signal,
- wherein each of the plurality of battery packs comprises:
- a battery comprising at least one battery cell;
- a slave communicator connected to the current path of the battery to detect the first data signal that is on the current path, that is output by the master communicator, that flows along the current path via the battery, and that comprises a data signal corresponding to a location of the battery or a control signal for the battery, and connected in parallel to the battery such that a first terminal of the slave communicator is connected to a first terminal of the battery, and a second terminal of the slave communicator is connected to a second terminal of the battery;
- and
- a battery management system (BMS) configured to receive the first data signal from the slave communicator, and to control an operation of the battery according to the first data signal.
