Nuvation Energy designed a custom battery management system (BMS) for Ambri’s liquid metal battery energy storage system prototype.
Ambri was in the research and development phase of battery design and required support for unanticipated behavior. We detailed the battery management system requirements, completed the ground-up electrical architecture, and provided them with a complete BMS solution.
Nuvation's BMS allowed Ambri to bring their new technology one step closer to commercialization.
