Abstract

A charging device, a charging control method, an energy management system and a storage medium are provided. The charging device includes: a charging circuit including a voltage stability control circuit, an output port and an input port; the voltage stability control circuit being connected to a high-voltage alternating current through the input port and connected to a battery through the output port, and configured to convert the high-voltage alternating current into a low-voltage direct current, charge the battery with a positive pulse current during a first period and charge the battery with a negative pulse current during a second period; and an energy absorption circuit connected in parallel with the charging circuit and configured to absorb the negative pulse current.

Claims (37)
