Introduction to Battery Management System

Welcome to the Introduction to Battery Management System: Student Series.

Course Overview

A battery management system (BMS) is any electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery such as by protecting the battery, monitoring its state, calculating secondary data, reporting that data, controlling its environment, authenticating it, and/or balancing it.

A battery pack built together with a battery management system with an external communication data bus is a smart battery pack. A smart battery pack must be charged by a smart battery charger.

Objective

This course will help you understand

• Why Battery Management System
• Functions of BMS
• Voltage Protection, Current Protection, DOD control
• Balancing, Data logging and processing

About the Student Series:

The energy and transportation ecosystems are undergoing a dynamic transition globally with a paradigm shift from lead-acid to lithium-ion batteries. With the increased demand for electric vehicles and stationary energy, energy storage systems are becoming a necessity for these ecosystems.

As we dive into advanced energy storage research and scale up production and usage of energy storage systems, it becomes critical to build a strong foundation for the future workforce. On this background, starting August 2022, IESA Academy is organizing a year-long student series on energy storage systems to

• Increase awareness of energy storage systems
• Build a foundation for energy storage systems taskforce
• Simplify energy storage concepts for a non-technical audience
• Open the spectrum of emerging technologies to students and non-technical professionals
