Abstract
This review of the literature delves into the changes, structure, and the latest BMS (Battery Management Systems) technologies implemented in electric vehicles, smart grids, and energy storage, respectively. The studies emphasize the need for accurate battery modeling, advanced estimation algorithms, robust hardware design, and safety regulations. The research describes how contemporary BMSs perform integration of modeling, monitoring, control, cell balancing, and diagnostics in order to facilitate safe and energy- efficient use of the battery. Present innovations such as AI-based forecasting, distributed architectures, and cloud-connected monitoring are enabling BMS to become intelligent, adaptive systems. So far, the scientists are struggling to solve the questions of battery health prediction, fault detection, and thermal management issues that comprise a great area of potential for new technological solutions.
