A Comprehensive Overview of Software Used for Battery Management Systems. Challenges, Solutions, and Future Trends (Part II)

This paper conducts a comprehensive Systematic Literature Review (SLR) alongside a market analysis to investigate the current landscape of solutions for software and hardware design, as well as management strategies utilised in Battery Management Systems (BMS), Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and Energy Management Systems (EMS). The integration and optimisation of these systems pose significant challenges in the storage, distribution, and utilisation of energy within Smart Energy Systems (SES) and integration into Virtual Power Plants (VPP). Notably, emerging trends that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI), advanced analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and innovative battery chemistry are transforming BMS, BESS, and EMS into more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable energy solutions.
