Scaling accurate battery management designs across energy storage systems
In energy storage system (ESS) applications, it is challenging to efficiently manage the number of batteries required to scale energy storage demand. For example, in utility-scale (1- to 2-kV) systems, there can be over 300 lithium-ion cells in series that each require accurate monitoring to determine the state-of-charge estimations, as well as protections to identify the need for maintenance or detect fault conditions.
