What is a BMS management system for energy storage batteries?

The full name of the energy storage battery BMS management system is Battery Management System.

The energy storage battery BMS management system is one of the core subsystems of the battery energy storage system, responsible for monitoring the operating status of each battery in the battery energy storage unit to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the energy storage unit.

The BMS battery management system unit includes a BMS battery management system, a control module, a display module, a wireless communication module, electrical equipment, a battery pack for powering electrical equipment, and a collection module for collecting battery information of the battery pack. Generally, BMS is presented as a circuit board, that is, a BMS protection board, or a hardware box.

The basic framework of the battery management system (BMS) includes a power battery pack housing and a sealed hardware module, a high-voltage analysis box (BDU) and a BMS controller.

1. BMU master controller

Battery Management Unit (BMU for short) refers to a system for monitoring and managing battery packs. That is, the BMS motherboard that is often said, its function is to collect the adoption information from each slave board. BMU management units are usually used in electric vehicles, energy storage systems and other applications that require battery packs.

BMU monitors the status of the battery pack by collecting data on the battery's voltage, current, temperature and other related parameters.

BMU can monitor the battery's charging and discharging process, as well as control the rate and method of charging and discharging to ensure the safe operation of the battery pack. BMU can also diagnose and troubleshoot faults in the battery pack and provide various protection functions, such as overcharge protection, over-discharge protection and short-circuit protection.

2. CSC slave controller

The CSC slave controller is used to monitor the module's single cell voltage and single cell temperature problems, transmit information to the main board, and has a battery balancing function. It includes voltage detection, temperature detection, balancing management and corresponding diagnosis. Each CSC module contains an analog front-end chip (Analog Front End, AFE) chip.

3. BDU battery energy distribution unit

The battery energy distribution unit (BDU for short), also called the battery junction box, is connected to the vehicle's high-voltage load and fast-charging harness through a high-voltage electrical interface. It includes a pre-charging circuit, a total positive relay, a total negative relay, and a fast-charging relay, and is controlled by the main board.

4. High-voltage controller

The high-voltage controller can be integrated into the mainboard or can be independent, real-time monitoring of batteries, current, voltage, and also includes pre-charge detection.

The BMS management system can monitor and collect the state parameters of the energy storage battery in real time (including but not limited to single cell voltage, battery pole temperature, battery loop current, battery pack terminal voltage, battery system insulation resistance, etc.), and perform necessary analysis and calculation on the relevant state parameters to obtain more system state evaluation parameters, and realize effective control of the energy storage battery body according to specific protection and control strategies to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the entire battery energy storage unit.

At the same time, BMS can exchange information with other external devices (PCS, EMS, fire protection system, etc.) through its own communication interface and analog/digital input and input interface to form linkage control of each subsystem in the entire energy storage power station, ensuring the safe, reliable and efficient grid-connected operation of the power station.

Analysis of changes and causes of lithium battery capacity attenuation!

1. Analysis of lithium-ion battery capacity attenuation

Positive and negative electrodes, electrolytes and diaphragms are important components of lithium-ion batteries. The positive and negative electrodes of lithium-ion batteries undergo lithium insertion and extraction reactions respectively, and the amount of lithium inserted in the positive and negative electrodes becomes the main factor affecting the capacity of lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, the balance of the positive and negative electrode capacities of lithium-ion batteries must be maintained to ensure that the battery has optimal performance.

 

2. Overcharge

2.1 Negative electrode overcharge reaction There are many types of active materials that can be used as negative electrodes of lithium-ion batteries, with carbon-based negative electrode materials, silicon-based, tin-based negative electrode materials, lithium titanate negative electrode materials, etc. as the main materials. Different types of carbon materials have different electrochemical properties. Among them, graphite has the advantages of high conductivity, excellent layered structure and high crystallinity, which is more suitable for lithium insertion and extraction. At the same time, graphite materials are affordable and have a large stock, so they are widely used.

 

When a lithium-ion battery is charged and discharged for the first time, solvent molecules will decompose on the graphite surface and form a passivation film called SEI. This reaction will cause battery capacity loss and is an irreversible process. During the overcharging process of a lithium-ion battery, metal lithium deposition will occur on the negative electrode surface. This situation is prone to occur when the positive electrode active material is excessive relative to the negative electrode active material. At the same time, metal lithium deposition may also occur under high rate conditions.

 

Generally speaking, the reasons for the formation of metal lithium leading to the change in lithium battery capacity decay mainly include the following aspects: first, it leads to a decrease in the amount of circulatory lithium in the battery; second, metal lithium reacts with electrolytes or solvents to form other by-products; third, metal lithium is mainly deposited between the negative electrode and the diaphragm, causing the pores of the diaphragm to be blocked, resulting in an increase in the internal resistance of the battery. The influencing mechanism of lithium-ion battery capacity decay varies depending on the graphite material. Natural graphite has a high specific surface area, so the self-discharge reaction will cause the lithium battery capacity loss, and the electrochemical reaction impedance of natural graphite as the negative electrode of the battery is also higher than that of artificial graphite. In addition, factors such as the dissociation of the negative electrode layered structure during the cycle, the dispersion of the conductive agent during the production of the pole piece, and the increase in the impedance of the electrochemical reaction during storage are all important factors that lead to the loss of lithium battery capacity.

 

2.2 Positive electrode overcharge reaction Positive electrode overcharge mainly occurs when the proportion of positive electrode material is too low, resulting in an imbalance in the capacity between the electrodes, causing irreversible loss of lithium battery capacity, and the coexistence and continuous accumulation of oxygen and combustible gases decomposed from the positive electrode material and the electrolyte may bring safety hazards to the use of lithium batteries.

 

2.3 Electrolyte reacts at high voltage If the charging voltage of the lithium battery is too high, the electrolyte will undergo an oxidation reaction and generate some by-products, which will block the electrode micropores and hinder the migration of lithium ions, thereby causing the cycle capacity to decay. The change trend of the electrolyte concentration and the stability of the electrolyte is inversely proportional. The higher the electrolyte concentration, the lower the electrolyte stability, which in turn affects the capacity of the lithium-ion battery. During the charging process, the electrolyte will be consumed to a certain extent. Therefore, it needs to be supplemented during assembly, resulting in a reduction in battery active materials and affecting the initial capacity of the battery.

 

3. Decomposition of electrolyte The electrolyte includes electrolytes, solvents and additives, and its properties will affect the service life, specific capacity, rate charge and discharge performance and safety performance of the battery. The decomposition of electrolytes and solvents in the electrolyte will cause the battery capacity to be lost. During the first charge and discharge, the formation of SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode by solvents and other substances will cause irreversible capacity loss, but this is inevitable. If there are impurities such as water or hydrogen fluoride in the electrolyte, the electrolyte LiPF6 may decompose at high temperatures, and the generated products will react with the positive electrode material, resulting in the battery capacity being affected. At the same time, some products will also react with the solvent and affect the stability of the SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode, causing the performance of the lithium-ion battery to decay. In addition, if the products of the electrolyte decomposition are not compatible with the electrolyte, they will block the positive electrode pores during the migration process, resulting in battery capacity decay. In general, the occurrence of side reactions between the electrolyte and the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, as well as the generated by-products, are the main factors causing battery capacity decay.

 

4. Self-discharge Lithium-ion batteries generally experience capacity loss, a process called self-discharge, which is divided into reversible capacity loss and irreversible capacity loss. The solvent oxidation rate has a direct impact on the self-discharge rate. The positive and negative active materials may react with the solute during the charging process, resulting in capacity imbalance and irreversible attenuation of lithium ion migration. Therefore, it can be seen that reducing the surface area of ​​the active material can reduce the capacity loss rate, and the decomposition of the solvent will affect the storage life of the battery. In addition, diaphragm leakage can also lead to capacity loss, but this possibility is low. If the self-discharge phenomenon exists for a long time, it will lead to the deposition of metallic lithium and further lead to the attenuation of the positive and negative electrode capacities.

 

5. Electrode instability During the charging process, the active material of the positive electrode of the battery is unstable, which will cause it to react with the electrolyte and affect the battery capacity. Among them, structural defects of the positive electrode material, excessive charging potential, and carbon black content are the main factors affecting battery capacity.

Anti-Islanding Protection in Solar PV Systems

What is Anti-Islanding?

Anti-islanding is a critical safety feature in grid-connected solar PV systems that prevents the system from continuing to supply power to a local grid section when the main utility grid fails or is disconnected. An "island" refers to an isolated portion of the grid that remains energized by the solar system, posing serious risks:

  1. Safety Hazard – Utility workers repairing the grid may be electrocuted if the solar system continues feeding power.

  2. Equipment Damage – Voltage and frequency fluctuations in an islanded system can damage connected loads or inverters.

  3. Grid Restoration Issues – Uncontrolled power generation can interfere with grid reconnection.

How Do Solar Panels Prevent Islanding?

Since solar panels themselves cannot prevent islanding, inverters and protection devices implement anti-islanding measures. The main methods include:

1. Passive Anti-Islanding

Detects abnormal grid conditions without injecting disturbances:

Under/Over Voltage (UV/OV) & Under/Over Frequency (UF/OF) Protection

If the grid fails, the inverter monitors voltage (±10%) and frequency (±0.5Hz) deviations and shuts down if thresholds are exceeded.

Phase Jump Detection

A sudden phase shift in the inverter output indicates grid loss, triggering shutdown.

 

2. Active Anti-Islanding

The inverter actively perturbs the grid to detect islanding conditions:

Active Frequency Drift (AFD)

The inverter slightly shifts its output frequency. If the grid is present, it stabilizes the frequency; if the grid is disconnected, the frequency drifts until the inverter trips.

Impedance Measurement

The inverter monitors grid impedance changes—if the grid is disconnected, impedance rises significantly, triggering protection.

 

3. Communication-Based Anti-Islanding

Uses Power Line Communication (PLC) or wireless signals to maintain grid synchronization. If communication is lost, the inverter shuts down (common in large-scale PV plants).

 

4. Hardware Protection Devices

Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCI) – Detect islanding conditions and disconnect the system.

 

 

Protection Relays – Work with voltage/frequency sensors to force disconnection.

Shunt Resistors

A shunt resistor is a low-resistance precision resistor placed in series with the load. According to Ohm’s Law (V = IR), the voltage drop across the resistor is proportional to the current flowing through it. By measuring this voltage drop, you can calculate the current.

Hall Effect Sensors

Hall Effect sensors, on the other hand, use the **Hall Effect principle** to measure current. When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, a voltage (Hall voltage) is generated perpendicular to both the current and the magnetic field. This voltage is proportional to the current, allowing the sensor to measure it without direct electrical contact.

How do you measure current with a Hall effect sensor?

Measuring current with a Hall effect sensor requires a delicate interplay of science and technology, where precision meets innovation. The Hall effect, a phenomenon discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879, is the basis for this sophisticated current measurement technique. This sensor, a product of cutting-edge engineering, employs the principles of quantum physics to detect and quantify electrical currents.

At its core, a Hall effect sensor consists of a thin strip of semiconductor material, such as gallium arsenide, strategically positioned within a magnetic field. When an electric current flows through this semiconductor strip, a perpendicular magnetic field is generated in response. It is this interaction between the electric current and magnetic field that enables the Hall effect sensor to accurately measure the current.

But how does the sensor actually achieve this feat? Let me enlighten you. Within the semiconductor strip, charged particles - electrons and holes - experience the Lorentz force due to the magnetic field. This force pushes these charged particles to one side of the sensor, creating an electric field that is perpendicular to both the current flow and the magnetic field. This unique arrangement generates a voltage, known as the Hall voltage, across the semiconductor strip. And crucially, the magnitude of this Hall voltage is directly proportional to the current being measured.

To precisely measure this Hall voltage and thereby determine the current, electronic circuits connected to the sensor come into play. These circuits amplify and condition the Hall voltage signal, ensuring accuracy and reliability. Through meticulous calibration and intricate signal processing algorithms, the Hall effect sensor can provide highly precise current measurements across a wide range of applications - from industrial machinery to renewable energy systems.

It's important to note that the Hall effect sensor offers several advantages over alternative current measurement methods. Its non-contact nature eliminates the need for physical connections, reducing the risk of electrical interference. Furthermore, its fast response time and high sensitivity make it particularly well-suited for dynamic and low-current applications.

In conclusion, the Hall effect sensor represents a marvel of modern engineering, enabling us to measure current with unparalleled precision and convenience. Through harnessing the power of quantum physics and innovative design, this remarkable sensor continues to revolutionize industries and drive technological advancements. So the next time you ponder how to measure current, remember the Hall effect sensor - a remarkable creation that illuminates the intricate dance between magnetism and electricity
