STOCMAN
Intelligent Management System for Improving the Efficiency of Battery Storage Systems based on Pb-acid and Li-Ion Batteries
Project overview
STOCMAN developed an intelligent battery-management approach for lead-acid and lithium-ion energy-storage systems. Its proposed equipment used fuzzy logic to optimise charging and discharging, balance the voltages of component batteries without dissipating balancing energy, shorten charging time and improve battery life and storage efficiency. The work supported new products and services based on intelligent energy-storage technology.
