This mini-certificate explains the need  for a BMS for different battery technologies, highlight several possible configurations and discuss the communication means. More advanced features are introduced related to the state of the battery system and guaranteeing that the latter is optimally used.

This certificate will allow participants to dive deep into power conversion systems that connect storage systems to smart grids and consumers, learning how to choose the right type of converter while assessing overall system performance with respect to energy efficiency. It also introduces battery management systems and the critical parameters that we can control, the use of battery testing and operation simulation in order to predict real-world in-service behavior.
