Technical FAQs 4

What is a distributed battery system (BMS)?

These individual BMSs are referred to as "nodes," and each node individually monitors, balances, and safeguards its own cells. A distributed network is created by the nodes' interconnection and communication with one another throughout the whole battery system.

What is a battery management system (BMS)?

A Battery Management System (BMS) is an electronic system that manages and monitors the charging and discharging of rechargeable batteries. There are two main types of BMS architectures: centralized and distributed/modular system. Each architecture has its advantages and disadvantages, and in this post we will explore them.

Are BMS centralized or distributed?

BMS can be centralized, distributed, or modular according to their topology. Let’s take a closer look at them. In a centralized BMS architecture, a single BMS printed circuit board (PCB) incorporates a control unit responsible for overseeing all battery cells using multiple communication channels.

Why is distributed BMS so popular?

The rise in popularity of distributed BMS can be attributed to the regulated flow of energy within and outside the battery pack, especially in electric vehicles. Additionally, the increasing adoption of distributed BMS is influenced by the expansion of installed capacity and the growth of renewable energy generation.
