Anhui LIGOO New Energy Technology: Getting the most from mobile electric power
An intelligent battery management system, usually referred to as a BMS, constitutes the essential nervous system of any electric-powered vehicle. Overcharging or uncontrolled discharging can lead to fire or, in the worst case, an explosion. LIGOO’s BMS extracts the maximum power from a multi-cell system by measuring the precise level of each cell and adjusting the battery drain to get the maximum output, while ensuring that the entire system stays within safe limits.
LIGOO’s technology has been used to expand efficiency and improve safety for battery management ranging from electric cars and other vehicles to smart grid power supplies and mobile telecommunications systems. Basically, any technology that requires the monitoring, management and protection of high capacity energy storage systems is likely to benefit from a LIGOO BMS system. The company’s systems can also be expanded for large-scale industrial electrical backup.
LIGOO has managed to reconfigure a Porsche Cayenne to run on electric batteries and on a different project, the company provided a US merchant ship with a solar power array that powers lighting at night and served as an emergency backup when the ship’s main electric generators needed to go offline. LIGOO’s control panels, fitted into a cabinet in the ship’s central control room, providing real-time information on the ship’s available electrical power on a continuing basis without requiring additional maintenance from the crew.
