2.2. Nuvation Energy Cell Interface
2.2.1. System Overview
The Nuvation Energy Cell Interface is one of several major components of a Nuvation Energy battery
management system. The Cell Interface is the direct link between the battery stack cells and the rest
of the battery management system. It facilitates battery monitoring and control functionalities.
In a Stack Switchgear, depending on battery stack size and count, one or more Cell Interface modules
are used to convert and relay cell voltage and temperature readings digitally to the Stack Controller.
When using multiple Cell Interface modules, the same Cell Interface variant must be used - i.e. all
NUV100-CI-12-1 or all NUV100-CI-16-1 or all NUV100-CI-4M12-1.
There are 3 variants of the Nuvation Energy Cell Interface:
▪
The NUV100-CI-12-1, Cell Interface - 12 channel can monitor up to 12 series-connected cells
▪
The NUV100-CI-16-1, Cell Interface - 16 channel can monitor up to 16 series-connected cells
▪
The NUV100-CI-4M12-1, Cell Interface - 12V 4 channel can monitor up to 4 series-connected 12V
lead-acid cells
