Battery Voltage Supervisor – BVS
Battery Voltage Supervisor (BVS) is a battery monitoring system. It is used for real-time data gathering and viewing. Main role of BVS is monitoring battery voltage values during a battery discharge testing.
The BVS is an integrated system consisting of:
- BVS Control Unit (BVS-CU)
- Cell Voltage Modules (CVM)
- String Voltage module (SVM) (optional)
- String current module (SCM) (optional)
The system of Battery voltage supervisor identifies a potential battery malfunction. That is done by monitoring the following cell parameters from an array of the cell voltage modules CVM:
- Cell voltage
- Intercell connection voltage
In addition, the BVS-CU provides ambient temperature measurements on multiple locations(4 temperature channels). Overall string voltage and string current measurements can be achieved by using optional string voltage module (SVM) and string current module (SCM). CVM modules detect cells that fail a discharge test based on measured voltage values. As a result these cells can be safely removed from the battery string. Data acquisition and extensive analysis capabilities of data collected from the modules are available in the DV–B Win application software suite. They provide a user data viewing, tracking and generation of comprehensive reports.
