VITO/EnergyVille offers tools such as BattSense, CellSense and SmartCells that link up with energy management systems and ensure that the right control strategy is chosen at any time according to the final objective and the exact state of the storage unit.

VITO/EnergyVille is working on interfaces between storage units and the system they are part of. These interfaces are the hardware and software components of battery management systems that ensure efficient, flexible, safe and cost-effective integration of the storage units. These battery management systems are developed technology-independently in different topologies to provide the necessary flexibility according to the application.

BattSense: The battery management system that makes sense

BattSense by VITO is the cost-efficient, modular, high performant BMS for all your mobile and stationary energy storage packs. The BattSense battery management system with dynamic cell balancing is designed to provide maximal safety, efficiency and an increased lifespan for cell-based electrical energy storage solutions.

CellSense: On-site cell voltage monitoring

A cell voltage monitoring device that can measure voltages of individual cells providing a solution to measuring cell voltage deviations and monitoring individual cells. As a consequence it is well suited for monitoring commercial stacks and integration in control systems.

SmartCells: The intelligent solution for our rechargeable future

Decentralisation is in, also in the way batteries are monitored and adjusted. At VITO/EnergyVille, we are working on an innovative battery management system based on 'distributed intelligence'. The smart battery cells could soon form the basis of a disruptive new value chain for European-made batteries.
