Safe battery energy management systems, battery management system nodes, and methods

A battery stack includes a plurality of battery management system (BMS) nodes and a controller. Each BMS node includes a battery, an isolation switch configured to selectably isolate the battery of the BMS node from the batteries of the other BMS nodes, and a bypass switch configured to selectably p...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A battery stack includes a plurality of battery management system (BMS) nodes and a controller. Each BMS node includes a battery, an isolation switch configured to selectably isolate the battery of the BMS node from the batteries of the other BMS nodes, and a bypass switch configured to selectably provide a path for electrical current flowing through the battery stack to bypass the battery of the BMS node. The batteries of the BMS nodes are electrically coupled in series. The controller is configured to control the isolation switch and the bypass switch of each BMS node such that the battery of each BMS node can be individually connected to and disconnected from an electrical power source/sink.
