Bms Settings Analysis

Abstract

Operation and performance of lithium-ion batteries strongly depend on configuration of Battery Management System (BMS). Set parameters must ensure both safe and efficient operation of the battery and it must be coordinated with specific operation profile of connected power converter. Whereas safe operation should be provided by safety assembly controlled by BMS, the efficient operation is mainly provided by superior system through connected converter. The configuration profile of battery is presented, its communication with energy system by Victron via CAN bus is evaluated, resulting performance of the system is examined and potential limitations are highlighted. A battery safety assembly for educational purposes is presented.
