Battery Management System (BMS)
KENOTOM provides solutions for the design and integration of modular, high-reliability Battery Management System architectures for lithium-ion–based energy storage. Our expertise covers safe-operation strategies, performance optimization, lifetime extension, and the development of state-of-the-art measurement, balancing, and energy-management techniques tailored to the stringent requirements of space missions.
Core engineering competencies
- Modular and scalable architectures: Design of system topologies scale across various voltage and current levels
- Advanced balancing strategies: Development of modular active-balancing solutions for precise energy redistribution across cells, modules, and strings.
- Per-cell electrochemical monitoring: Implementation of real-time EIS-based techniques to estimate internal resistance, state of charge (SoC), and state of health (SoH) with high fidelity
- Intelligent control approaches: Design of algorithms that dynamically regulate per-cell operating currents to improve performance consistency, promote uniform degradation across the pack and increase the lifespan of the battery
- Protection frameworks: Development of comprehensive safety mechanisms including overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature, and undertemperature protections
- Reliable communication and diagnostics: Integration of robust CAN communication for TM, diagnostics, and coordination with higher-level energy or power-distribution systems
