BMS Battery Management system EV Energy Storage
A Battery Management System (BMS) is integral to the performance, safety, and longevity of battery packs, effectively serving as the “brain” of the system. Cell Monitoring: The
Battery Management System (BMS) role in battery packs and energy storage system is critical to ensure safe operation and extend lifetime.
They need to handle new challenges while controlling complex battery systems more precisely. A good battery management system (BMS) needs hardware components that work together to monitor, protect, and optimize battery performance. These components act as the system's eyes and ears.
Each cell in an EV battery has a specific voltage range within which it operates safely. The BMS continuously monitors the voltage of each cell to prevent overvoltage (which can damage the cells) and undervoltage (which can lead to capacity loss). By ensuring cells stay within their optimal voltage ranges, the BMS maximizes battery life. 2.
One of the key functions of a BMS is cell balancing, which ensures that each cell in a battery pack is charged and discharged uniformly. Cells in series often exhibit slight differences in capacity, causing certain cells to overcharge or undercharge.
