An energy storage system includes a controller and a plurality of battery packs connected in parallel. The battery pack includes a cell pack, a temperature sensing module, a temperature control module, and a battery management system (BMS). The temperature sensing module is configured to detect a temperature of the battery pack, the temperature control module is configured to heat the battery pack, and the BMS is configured to send heating requests and states of charge (SOCs) of corresponding battery packs to the controller. The controller determines, based on a difference between a voltage of a direct-current bus and a charging voltage reference value of the energy storage system, a quantity of battery packs whose temperature control modules can be enabled, and determines, based on the SOCs of the battery packs, priorities for enabling the temperature control modules of the battery packs, enhancing utilization of power generation power.
