Battery Management System: Components, Types
By identifying and mitigating unsafe operating conditions, the BMS ensures the safe operation of the battery pack and the connected
The common functions of a Battery Management System (BMS) include: communications. These functions are necessary to ensure vehicle safety and balance vehicle performance with battery life. Each of the above functions will be reviewed in this section in the context of lithium ion battery packs.
A battery management system (BMS) is a sophisticated hardware and software system that is generally a required part of any high voltage battery pack. Its common functions include: communications, which are necessary to ensure vehicle safety and balance vehicle performance with battery life.
The control unit processes data collected from the battery and ensures that the system operates within its safe operating area. A critical part of the BMS, this system uses air cooling or liquid cooling to maintain the temperature of the battery cells.
A BMS can track SoH by assessing factors like cycle count, temperature history, and voltage fluctuations, helping predict the battery's lifespan and identify when it may need replacement. 3. Safety and Fault Protection Safety is a primary concern when designing BMS systems.
