Scope:

This standard covers the design, performance, and safety of battery management systems.  Battery management systems are electronic or electromechanical systems that control or regulate a battery or batteries which may include external communication capabilities.

 

This standard covers battery management systems in all applications including stationary batteries (e.g. local energy storage, smart grids, auxiliary power systems), batteries used to power mobility applications (e.g. electric vehicles, rail transport, aeronautics), and appliances and machinery (e.g. tools, kitchen appliances, manufacturing lines) used in consumer/residential, commercial, and industrial settings

 

Project need:

Energy storage devices (batteries) due to high energy density associated to these systems are prone to catastrophic failures, including fires and explosions, resulting from exothermic runaway reactions. Battery Management Systems (BMS) through multidisciplinary approaches is solving the complex challenges associated with these energy storage systems by protecting the battery from operating outside its safe operating area. The project is needed because battery management systems (BMS) are not consistently evaluated in the same manner today. The project is needed to support innovation in BMS by providing a standardized safety methodology
