For
overcharge discharge, under/over current, under/over voltage, under/ over
temperature, and short circuit protection, battery management systems are
utilized. They come in master-slave and single-board configurations.
Specific
algorithms, such as cell/module balance, SOC, SOH, and real-time
charge/discharge current management, are used in these systems. These systems
are used in commercial and industrial buildings, utility grid support systems,
specialized vehicles, and residential energy storage.
By
2030, it is predicted that the market for battery management systems will
surpass a value of USD 26,797 million, as per P&S Intelligence. This is
mostly related to the expanding popularity of rechargeable batteries in
consumer gadgets and the growing demand for EVs.
The
government constantly places a focus on hybrid and electric vehicles in order
to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, both in industrialized nations like North
America and in developing ones, such as the Asia Pacific market.
Public
transportation has undergone a technological change as a result of the increase
in air pollution. All the industrial players are converting to renewable energy
sources in order to comply with government regulations. Batteries are widely
used in the consumer electronics, communications, and automobile industries.
One
of the best options for a sustainable environment is EVs. The use of EVs is
increasing as environmental preservation is given more attention. R&D
efforts are being prioritized by automakers to enhance the performance of EVs.
Wireless
EV battery management solutions are increasingly preferred over traditional
battery management systems because of their greater flexibility, cheaper price,
and reduced complexity.
An
electronic circuit known as the battery management system is specifically
created for EVs to guarantee the stability and safety of their battery packs.
Several elements, including battery life and health, safety, cell voltage, and
charging-discharging rates, have an impact on how well EVs operate.
Lithium-Ion
Battery Management Systems Are Popular in Consumer Electronics and EVs
Because
lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have various advantages over other battery
types, including a longer life cycle, higher energy density, lower maintenance
required, and superior resilience, Li-ion batteries retained the greatest share
of the market.
In
addition, such batteries are environmentally beneficial because they have
comparatively lower quantities of hazardous heavy metals than other battery
types like lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries.
Additionally,
the rapid growth of the automotive and consumer electronics industries in China
and other European countries is promoting the usage of BMS. Li-ion batteries
have drawbacks despite having a higher energy density, notably in terms of
safety.
In
2022, Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest share in the market. The increase
in need for battery management from automobile applications like electric cars,
e-bikes, and automated guided vehicles is to blame for this. Hundreds of cells
stacked in parallel high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries are used in such
applications.
These
cells need to be maintained and managed to prevent vehicle failure, making the
system a crucial element in the design of EVs. The battery's performance,
safety, and utilization are determined by the system.
China
also dominates the APAC market because it is a significant center for the
production of automobiles. A surge in the production of cars and the batteries
used in them is boosting the nation's market.
