Abstract
One or more of the present embodiments provide for a suite of preset and customizable balancing applications that can be configured, selected and implemented to match the requirements a present use case. The suite of preset and customizable balancing applications may be presented to and selected by a user to tailor the balancing system to a particular use case. Alternatively, the balancing system may automatically select a balancing application, such as based on one or more inputs, to tailor the balancing system to the present use case.
Claims20
A method for balancing cell groups, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a battery management system via an application programming interface (API), a balancing profile;
- controlling, by the battery management system, a plurality of cell group string controllers based on the received balancing profile;
- and
- controlling, by the plurality of cell group string controllers, a plurality of cell group balancing controllers to balance the cell groups.
A cell group balancing system comprising:
- a plurality of cell groups;
- and
- an energy management system configured to:
- present, via a graphical user interface, a menu of user selectable balancing applications;
- receive, via the graphical user interface, a user selected balancing application;
- and
- transmit, via an application programming interface (API), instructions for balancing the plurality of cell groups based on the user selected balancing application.
A method for balancing cell groups, the method comprising:
- receiving a balancing application based on a user selection from a library of balancing applications;
- generating balancing instructions based on the balancing application;
- transmitting, via an application programming interface (API), the balancing instructions for balancing the cell groups;
- and
- balancing, via low level cell group control, the cell groups based on the balancing instructions.
