SENSOR INTELLIGENT BUSBAR FOR BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

The energy storage era is upon us. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are growing in numbers worldwide due to several factors:

• The automotive industry’s quest to limit its impact on the environment and transform automotive mobility into a sustainable mode of transportation continues at high intensity
• Development of battery-based technology to manage and regulate electrical power generated by heterogeneous non-permanent sources (e.g. renewables Wind & Solar)
• Energy storage technology advancements have boosted performance and trimmed costs…

One of the important components in maintaining the reliability of these battery management systems is the busbar.
This component allows:

• A fast and easy assembly of the battery bank, no wiring error
• It also integrates sensors (temperature, voltage and current) in order to allow battery system monitoring
• Thanks to its flexible constitution it can allow battery cover movement during charge and discharge cycle
