IEEE Recommended Practice for Battery Management Systems in Stationary Energy Storage Applications

Information and recommendations on the design, configuration, and interoperability of battery management systems in stationary applications is included in this recommended practice. The battery management system is considered to be a functionally distinct component of a battery energy storage system that includes active functions necessary to protect the battery from modes of operation that could impact its safety or longevity. Recommendations on how to configure a battery management system to protect a given battery type in each application environment are provided. Lastly, recommended communication structures and data models that help support interoperability and cybersecurity are stipulated. A comprehensive list of best practices around the design and integration of battery management systems that protect the safety and longevity of batteries in energy storage applications is developed as a result.
