| Found in | Work cat.: Pathak, M. Model-based battery management systems, 2017: p. 6 (battery management systems (BMS); a BMS is a device that is responsible for safe and optimum operation of a battery (pack). A BMS is therefore required wherever a battery is found. It is responsible for monitoring the voltage, current and temperature of the battery as well as predicts the state of charge of the battery and estimates the time remaining before the battery is completely discharged. It also contains elements and logic for over- and under-voltage protection as well as other limits on current, temperature, etc.) Engineering Village WWW site, Aug. 15, 2018: thesaurus search, Compendex (Battery management systems. BT Power management. RT Charging (Batteries); Electric charge measurement; Electric vehicles; Secondary batteries) Inspec (battery management systems; RT battery charge measurement; battery powered vehicles; battery testers; electric vehicle charging; flow batteries; power aware computing; secondary cells) Electropaedia WWW site, Aug. 15, 2018: Battery Management Systems (BMS) (Battery Monitoring, keeping a check on the key operational parameters during charging and discharging such as voltages and currents and the battery internal and ambient temperature; For the power or plant engineer BMS means Battery Management Systems. Such systems encompass not only the monitoring and protection of the battery but also methods for keeping it ready to deliver full power when called upon and methods for prolonging its life; For the automotive engineer the Battery Management System is a component of a much more complex fast acting Energy Management System and must interface with other on board systems such as engine management, climate controls, communications and safety systems) WhatIs.com tech dictionary, Aug. 16, 2018 (battery management system (BMS): an electronic regulator that monitors and controls the charging and discharging of rechargeable batteries; used in most devices that use rechargeable batteries; also common in datacenters, where UPS (uninterruptable power supplies) keep servers online. Cars, especially electric, include battery management systems, as do everyday portable devices like MP3 players and smartphones) Battery management systems, via Engineering.com website, Aug. 16, 2018 (measures and reports crucial information for the operation of the battery and also also protects the battery from damage in a wide range of operating conditions; single most important function that a battery management system performs is cell protection; second most important function performed by a battery management system is energy management; they manage the output, charging and discharging and provide notifications on the status of the battery pack. They also provide critical safeguards to protect the batteries from damage) |
