The European research project NEXTBMS coordinated by the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology (long title: NEXT-generation physics and data-based Battery Management Systems for optimized battery utilization) aims to develop an advanced battery management system (BMS) on the basis of fundamental knowledge and experience with the physico-chemical processes of lithium-ion batteries.

[pdf] Learn about the architecture and common battery types of battery energy storage systems. .
There are many different types of battery technologies, based on different chemical elements and reactions. The most common, today, are the lead-acid and the Li-ion, but also Nickel based, Sulfur based, and flow batteries play, or played, a relevant role in this. .
A BESS is composed of different “levels” both logical and physical. Each specific physical component requires a dedicated control system. Below is a summary of these main levels: 1.. .
As described in the first article of this series, renewable energies have been set up to play a major role in the future of electrical systems..
