A computer system includes a processor device configured to determine battery current of each battery pack of a plurality of parallelly connected battery packs of an energy storage system of a vehicle, determine a system current for all of the plurality of parallelly connected battery packs in the energy storage system, compare the determined battery current with a predetermined battery pack overcurrent threshold for each one of the battery packs, and comparing the determined system current with a system overcurrent threshold, activate an overcurrent fuse of an associated battery pack in response to the determined battery current of the associated battery pack being higher than the battery pack overcurrent threshold, and to activate the overcurrent fuse of at least one of the same battery packs in response to the determined system current being higher than the system overcurrent threshold.
A computer system comprising a processor device configured to:
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
An energy storage system of vehicle comprising a plurality of parallelly arranged battery packs connectable to a common traction voltage bus, and an associated overcurrent fuse for each battery pack, the overcurrent fuses being configured to protect the battery packs with regards to an overcurrent, the energy storage system further comprising a control circuitry configured to:
