Current protection system for energy storage system

Abstract

A current protection system for an energy storage system includes: batteries connected in parallel; battery control units respectively connected to the batteries, and respectively having battery current measurement units; a battery connection panel connecting the battery control units to one connection point, the battery connection panel having a contact point current measurement unit; and a control unit configured to sum current values respectively measured by the battery current measurement units and a current value measured by the contact point current measurement unit, and to detect a presence of an internal short circuit based on the sum.
