Systems Approach to Lithium-Ion Battery Management PDF

The advent of lithium ion batteries has brought a significant shift in the area of large format battery systems.

Previously limited to heavy and bulky lead-acid storage batteries, large format batteries were used only where absolutely necessary as a means of energy storage.

The improved energy density, cycle life, power capability, and durability of lithium ion cells has given us electric and hybrid vehicles with meaningful driving range and performance, grid-tied energy storage systems for integration of renewable energy and load leveling, backup power systems and other applications.

This book discusses battery management system (BMS) technology for large format lithium-ion battery packs from a systems perspective.

This resource covers the future of BMS, giving us new ways to generate, use, and store energy, and free us from the perils of non-renewable energy sources.

This book provides a full update on BMS technology, covering software, hardware, integration, testing, and safety.
