Battery Management Systems (BMS) and Condition Monitoring

Introduction

Every lithium-ion battery is monitored and controlled by a battery management system. Software state-of-charge determination ranges from simple calculation techniques to complex filtering methods.

Target Audience

Engineers, technicians, and employees from research, development, and technical sales.

Main Topics

• BMS components
• BMS in system design
• BMS features (safety)
• Basics of state-of-charge determination
• Introduction to battery models
• State of charge calculation

Objectives

In this seminar, participants will learn about the structure and operation of battery management systems. They will get an overview of the components of a BMS, their functionality, and their integration into the overall system. The second half of the seminar deals with state-of-condition determination and various calculation techniques.
