乘势待时，事半功倍——动力电池专利分析三部曲之三
By King & Wood
作者：马俊豪 电池包广泛应用于新能源汽车制造领域。如果将汽车比作人体，汽车内载电池相当于人体的“供能系统”，而电池管理系统（Battery Management System，简称BMS）则相当于人体供能系统的“神经中枢”，电池管理系统是实现“操控”供能系统，辅助电池实现复杂功能的关键，在相关技术的发展中占据了举足轻重的地位。 2015年是中国新能源汽车产销爆发的元年，因此在供应端，作为汽车“供能系统”的动力电池及其相关组件也开始迎来了市场的春天。新能源汽车的销量持续走高，至2021年全球新能源汽车销量为688.8万辆，中国市场贡献了350.7万的销量，超过全球销售总量的一半。伴随着新能源汽车市场的蓬勃发展，充分的竞争使得诸公司纷纷精进自身的电池产品，电池管理系统相关技术也维持着高速的迭代，诸多的专利申请相继涌现。 阅读更多
