As the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) and smart grids continues to rise, so does demand for batteries. Within landscape battery-powered energy storage systems, battery management system (BMS) is crucial. It provides key functions such as state estimation (including charge, health, safety, thermal management) well cell balancing. Its primary role ensure safe operation. However, due limite...

The general goal of power management (PM) is to achieve optimal system performance while meeting power constraints. Minimizing the energy consumption is mostly not sufficient. Especially power management policies for battery-powered and RFpowered devices require a deep understanding of the supplies’ electrical characteristics. Thus, battery-aware PM aims to efficiently utilize the battery by re...

Microturbine generation system is one of the most promising and a fast growing distributed generation sources. It is used in various applications thanks to high efficiency, quick start and high reliability. Combination of the microturbine and storage system (e.g. battery bank) is desirable selection to satisfy the load requirements under all conditions and hence the battery bank can play an imp...

Building energy management systems (BEMSs), dedicated to sustainable buildings, may have additional duties, such as hosting efficient (EMSs) algorithms. This duty can become crucial when operating renewable sources (RES) and eventual electric storage (ESSs). Sophisticated EMS approaches that aim manage RES ESSs in real time need high computing capabilities BEMSs typically cannot provide. articl...
