Claims (48)

1. An energy storage system, comprising:

at least one battery rack including at least one battery pack;

a rack housing having an accommodation space for accommodating the at least one battery rack; and

a rack door unit mounted to the rack housing to open or close the accommodation space of the rack housing and at least partially made of flexible material,

wherein the rack door unit comprises a rollable material, wherein the accommodation space of the rack housing is open when the rollable material is rolled, and wherein the accommodation space of the rack housing is closed when the rollable material is unrolled.

2. The energy storage system according to claim 1 , wherein the rack door unit includes:

a rack door body mounted to the rack housing;

a door cover connected to the rack door body and configured to cover a front portion of the accommodation space; and

a cover locking unit mounted to the door cover and configured to separate or fix the door cover from/to the rack housing so that the accommodation space is opened or closed,

wherein the door cover is made of the flexible material.

3. The energy storage system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the door cover is at least partially rolled toward the rack door body when being separated from the rack housing.

4. The energy storage system according to claim 3 , wherein the rack door body includes:

a cover rolling portion configured to wind or unwind the door cover; and

an elastic operating portion connected to the cover rolling portion and configured to guide winding or unwinding of the door cover.

5. The energy storage system according to claim 2 , wherein the cover locking unit includes:

a locking body mounted to a bottom portion of the door cover; and

a locking lever provided at the locking body and detachably mounted to the rack housing.

6. The energy storage system according to claim 5 ,

wherein a level insert groove is provided at the rack housing so that the locking lever is inserted thereto.

7. The energy storage system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the door cover is made of polyvinyl material.

8. The energy storage system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one battery pack includes at least one battery cell, and

wherein the at least one battery cell is a secondary battery.

9. An energy storage system, comprising:

at least one battery rack including at least one battery pack;

a rack housing having an accommodation space for accommodating the at least one battery rack; and

a rack door unit mounted to the rack housing to open or close the accommodation space of the rack housing and at least partially made of flexible material,

wherein the rack door unit includes a door cover configured to be at least partially rolled to cover a front portion of the accommodation space.

10. The energy storage system according to claim 9 , wherein the rack door unit includes:

a rack door body mounted to the rack housing, wherein the door cover is connected to the rack door body and configured to cover a front portion of the accommodation space; and

a cover locking unit mounted to the door cover and configured to separate or fix the door cover from/to the rack housing so that the accommodation space is opened or closed.

11. The energy storage system according to claim 10 ,

wherein the door cover is at least partially rolled toward the rack door body when being separated from the rack housing.

12. The energy storage system according to claim 11 , wherein the rack door body includes:

a cover rolling portion configured to wind or unwind the door cover; and

an elastic operating portion connected to the cover rolling portion and configured to guide winding or unwinding of the door cover.

13. The energy storage system according to claim 10 , wherein the cover locking unit includes:

a locking body mounted to a bottom portion of the door cover; and

a locking lever provided at the locking body and detachably mounted to the rack housing.

14. The energy storage system according to claim 13 ,

wherein a level insert groove is provided at the rack housing so that the locking lever is inserted thereto.

15. The energy storage system according to claim 9 ,

wherein the door cover is made of polyvinyl material.
