Abstract
A method for thermal management performed by a controller of an energy storage system, where the energy storage system includes at least a first battery module, a second battery module, a first battery management system (BMS) node, and a second BMS node. The first BMS node is configured to control operation of the first battery module, and the second BMS node is configured to control operation of the second battery module. The method includes (a) determining a first temperature profile difference representing a difference between an actual temperature profile of the first battery module and a desired temperature profile of the first battery module, (b) determining a first operation adjustment representing a desired change in operation of the first battery module for decreasing the first temperature profile difference, and (c) controlling the first BMS node to change operation of the first battery module according to the first operation adjustment.
