The smart BMS is responsible for the self-charge/discharge, lifecycle aging, temperature effects, and other variations. Without any of this, the use of BMS is futile. Hence, the applications of BMS ensure that your battery is always functioning at optimum performance and range.
BMS offers battery pack capacity management enabling cell-to-cell balancing to maintain the state of charge of the adjacent cells in the assembly pack. The smart BMS is responsible for the self-charge/discharge, lifecycle aging, temperature effects, and other variations. Without any of this, the use of BMS is futile.
Beyond tracking the SoC and SoH, a battery management system ensures the cells wear out evenly by distributing the charge and discharge cycles, thus ensuring a longer total lifespan. It also provides safety features, like disconnecting the battery to prevent a fire in case of a fault or switching to a different cell or pack when one fails.
The system used is a paradigmatic real-world example of the so-called intelligent battery management systems. One of the contributions made in this work is the realization of a distributed design of a BMS, which adds the benefit of increased system security compared to a fully centralized BMS structure.
Modern energy storage systems have a built-in control unit known as the Battery Energy Management System, or the BMS, which safeguards the battery. It’s responsible for regulating voltage, current, and temperature when it’s charging up or giving out energy.
An active battery management system relies on several components at the same time and thus becomes a smart BMS. The advantages of an Active Battery Management System: It monitors the aging and charging status as well as the depth of discharge of the battery modules.
