BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Battery Management System is a combination of hardware and software
working parallelly and independently for monitoring and protecting the
battery to operate safely and efficiently while meeting safety, performance, and
non-functional requirements.
​
Key Responsibilities​
​
✓ Battery Parameter monitoring and Protection
✓ Battery Status Estimation
✓ Manage Power Acceptance/Delivery
✓ Fault Management
✓ Communication
CENTRALIZED BMS
-
All Battery parameters are Measurement & Controlled by Single BMS.
-
Solution fits for Low voltage Battery.
-
Example : 12v , 48V , 60V Battery Systems
MODULAR BMS
-
All Battery parameters are Measured by smart chip and the Master BMS is dedicated to compute, process and protect the battery.
-
Mostly suitable High Voltage Battery Systems ( 72V-1000V)
DISTRIBUTED BMS
Similar to modular architecture, there will be a master BMS within
multiple pack systems controlling the other packs . The other BMS
are referred as child/slave BMS.
​
Example
-
High Voltage Battery Systems (400V-1000V)
-
Large Energy Storage Systems.
