Abstract
An energy storage system including an energy storage string formed by rechargeable cells connected in series and an energy management device including a master control unit and at least a first local control unit associated to a first rechargeable cell. A storage string connecting circuit is coupling a positive string terminal with a negative string terminal and a cell connecting circuit is coupling a positive and a negative cell terminal of the first rechargeable cell. The storage string connecting circuit includes a first capacitor device forming with the energy storage string a first closed-loop LC-circuit, and/or the cell connecting circuit includes a second capacitor device forming with the first rechargeable cell a second closed-loop LC-circuit. A master AC signal generator and a local signal generator are configured for generating a first and a second AC pulse in respectively the storage string connecting circuit and the cell connecting circuit.
