Glossary

Alternating current (AC):

Usually in the form of a sine wave, the bidirectional current flow continually reverses. Typically, AC will have a zero mean (average) and a nonzero RMS value. In the USA, most “grid” electricity is generated and distributed in the form of 60 Hz sinusoidal waveform. In other areas of the world, 50 Hz is commonly used.

Amp-hour (Ah):

A unit of electric charge, the amount of current delivered for 1 h.

Battery:

A group of one or more cells electrically connected in series and/or parallel combinations to achieve higher voltage or current than what is capable from a single cell.

Battery management system (BMS):

An electronic device or system that monitors and controls a rechargeable battery. Parameters measured may include cell temperature, voltage, and current. From this data, the BMS can compute the state of charge of the battery and estimate the state of health, remaining cycle lives, or remaining service life. Typically, a BMS system will include the...
