Battery Management Systems

This mini-certificate explains the need  for a BMS for different battery technologies, highlight several possible configurations and discuss the communication means. More advanced features are introduced related to the state of the battery system and guaranteeing that the latter is optimally used. This certification consists of 1 course: Battery Management Systems. Learner demonstrates competence in the following course outcomes: - Explain the exact need for a battery management system in a battery supported application - List the set of functions a BMS should support - Choose the best-fit hardware topology for an aimed final battery application - List the most important BMS components and their value for the system - Elaborate on the working principles of the standards on functional safety - List the different existing approaches for determining the SoC and explain the related difficulties - List some approaches on how to measure SoH and how to implement those on a battery in an application - Select and tune a balancing strategy based on the topology of the battery and the requirements of the application in which the battery is used.
