The example of a battery-driven bus highlights the economic advantages of the system – for manufacturers and operators of the vehicle. In a battery-driven bus, several components are installed at different locations: in the rear, on the floor and on the ceiling. Different ambient temperatures prevail there in each case. These are actively balanced out by the BMS to increase efficiency.
Information about the batteries stored in the cloud (capacity, material) and processes (algorithms or calculations) for the charge load, help the BMS to optimally utilize the unit's many battery cells during operation and during charging to balance out fluctuations and choose charging intensities that are as conserving as possible. This is done as a function of the "learned" usage behavior of the battery unit.
Operators and manufacturers benefit from preventive monitoring in the form of reliable vehicle components. The benefits for companies or fleet operators are fewer downtime, longer lifetime and the reduced costs associated with this as well as a plannable residual value. The system thereby makes a valuable contribution to optimized battery management system – even across the fleet – and plays a decisive role in the range and dynamics of electric vehicles.
