Abstract
Conference Title: 2019 IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering and 2019 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Europe (EEEIC / I&CPS Europe) Conference Start Date: 2019, June 11 Conference End Date: 2019, June 14 Conference Location: Genova, Italy The remote and integrated power systems are becoming an elementary part of our life. In order to effectively maintain the supply/demand cycle, the energy storage mechanisms are employed. In this context rechargeable batteries are frequently employed. In order to achieve a better battery performance and a longer operational life, the Battery Management Systems (BMS) are used. Recent BMSs are becoming complex and require higher processing resources and as a consequence consume a higher power. In order to keep BMS power efficient, this work employs the input signal nonstationary nature to achieve power efficient BMSs. The idea is to employ the event-driven data acquisition and Batteries State of Charge (SoC) estimation with non-uniform quantization. A cloud based SoC log is maintained. It allows a continuous remote system monitoring and a timely cure and interaction in case of need. The event-driven nature allows focusing only on the acquisition, processing and transmission of intended information. Therefore, it correlates the system computational load and activity with the incoming information. The system computational load and consumption can be noticeably diminished by using this idea as compared to the counter traditional methods.
