Information and recommendations on the design, configuration, and interoperability of battery management systems in stationary applications is included in this recommended practice. The battery management system is considered to be a functionally distinct component of a battery energy storage system that includes active functions necessary to protect the battery from modes of operation that could impact its safety or longevity. Recommendations on how to configure a battery management system to protect a given battery type in each application environment are provided. Lastly, recommended communication structures and data models that help support interoperabil...

This recommended practice includes information on the design, configuration, and interoperability of battery management systems (BMSs) in stationary applications. This document considers the BMS to be a functionally distinct component of a battery energy storage system (BESS) that includes active functions necessary to protect the battery from modes of operation that could impact its safety or longevity. This document covers battery management technologies, configuration by application and battery type, and interoperability with other systems. Technologies include battery management peripheral devices and subsystems, balancing methods, sensor types and place...

Well-designed battery management is critical for the safety and longevity of batteries in stationary applications. This document aims to establish best practices in the design, configuration, and integration of BMSs used in energy storage applications.
