The subject of Battery Management Systems (BMS) is very broad and involves many disciplines. The main focus in this book has been on simulations of BMS. As stated in chapter 1, simulations are a helpful means for obtaining an understanding of the behaviour of complex systems under a wide variety of conditions. Measurements of battery behaviour generally take a lot of time. With battery simulation models, simulations of battery behaviour in a portable device under development can be performed swiftly. The increased understanding of this behaviour can be applied to improve the BMS functionality. So far, no battery models were available for this purpose. Therefore, battery models with which improvements in BMS designs can indeed be realized have been described in this book.
