Abstract: A battery system for providing standby power to an elevator system is disclosed. The battery system includes a lithium battery cell, a lithium battery module comprising electrically connected cells, a control unit, and a networking unit. The battery system is electrically and communicatively connected to the elevator system and adapted to drive the elevator system when a main power supply is interrupted. Various battery system metrics are reported to the elevator system and, optionally, to a central monitoring station.

Abstract: A power pack module including a power core including a plurality of energy cells, a shell encasing the power core, the shell formed from a pair of interlocking half-shell members, and a weld plate affixed to the shell.

Abstract: A lithium-ion battery system (LBS), energy supply chain, and method of governing and recording energy management events are disclosed. The LBS may comprise at least one battery cell, at least one battery module, and a control unit. The energy supply chain may comprise a generator, a distributor, a consumer, an energy storage system, and a plurality of control units connected to each component of the supply chain. The control unit is configured to govern and record energy management events by connecting to a blockchain and by creating, validating, appending, and executing energy management events as blocks on the blockchain. The energy management events includes a power optimization for a single component of the energy supply chain and transactions between two components of the energy supply chain.

Abstract: A battery management and monitoring system for monitoring a lithium battery module is provided. The battery management and monitoring system may include a memory configured to retrievably store one or more algorithms, and a controller in communication with the memory. Based on the one or more algorithms, the controller may be configured to at least monitor a data signal corresponding to one or more parameters indicative of an operating condition of the lithium battery module, and generate a control signal based on the data signal configured to selectively engage one or more contactors in communication with the lithium battery module to at least temporarily isolate the lithium battery module if one or more of the parameters exceed predefined thresholds.
