October/November 2017 | Unmanned Systems Technology 40 Summary A number of major changes to power management architectures are taking place as unmanned and autonomous system designs mature. The move from 12 to 48 V in electric vehicles provides more efficiency at the higher voltage and delivers longer ranges, but it also has a dramatic impact on the BMS, requiring more accurate monitoring over many years and greater electrical isolation. This in turn has an impact on the BMS, the kinetic energy recovery system and the charging subsystem, as well as the Focus | Power management systems AUSTRALIA Millswood Engineering +61 421 582 494 www.millswoodeng.com.au CANADA GAN Systems +1 613 686 1996 www.gansystems.com DENMARK Clayton Power +45 46 98 57 60 www.claytonpower.com Lithium Balance +45 58 51 51 04 www.lithiumbalance.com GERMANY Bosch Battery Systems +49 711 400 40990 www.bosch.de Diehl & Eagle Picher +49 911 957 2073 www.diehl.com Infineon Technologies +49 800 951 951951 www.infineon.com ISRAEL Amicell +972 8 856 1612 www.amicell.co.il Epsilor +972 8 655 6280 www.epsilor.com SINGAPORE Horizon Energy Systems +65 6250 3949 www.hes.sg SPAIN LikeAbird – www.likeabird.eu SWITZERLAND EnerSys-Hawker Motive Power +41 44 215 74 10 www.enersys-hawker.com UK Denchi Power +44 (0)1847 808000 www.denchipower.com Johnson Matthey Battery Systems +44 (0)1908 249 625 www.jmbatterysystems.com Lincad +44 (0)1252 894600 www.lincad.co.uk Power Oasis +44 (0)1793 784242 www.poweroasis.com USA Analog Devices (Linear Technology) +1 408 432 1900 www.linear.com Diodes +1 972 987 3900 www.diodes.com EaglePicher Technologies +1 417 623 8000 www.eaglepicher.com Efficient Power Conversion +1 408 332 2651 www.epc-co.com Elithion +1 720 466 7006 www.elithion.com EnerSys +1 610 208 1991 www.enersys.com Ewert Energy Systems +1 630 868 3173 www.orionbms.com Hitec RCD +1 858 748 6948 www.hitec-rcd.com House of Batteries +1 714 962 7600 www.houseofbatteries.com Intersil +1 408 432 8888 www.intersil.com Renesas (Intersil) +1 408 432 8888 www.intersil.com Launchpoint Energy and Power +1 805 683 9659 www.launchpnt.com Lind Electronics +1 952 927 6303 www.lindelectronics.com Maxim Integrated +1 408 601 1000 www.maximintegrated.com Mentor Graphics +1 503 685 7000 www.mentor.com Monolithic Power +1 408 826 0600 www.monolithicpower.com Nuvation Energy +1 855 261 0507 www.nuvationenergy.com Orion +1 630 868 3173 www.orionbms.com Protonex +1 508 490 9960 www.protonex.com Qualcomm +1 858 587 1121 www.qualcomm.com Silicon Labs +1 512 416 8500 www.silabs.com SolAero Technologies +1 505 332 5000 www.solaerotech.com Texas Instruments +1 800 2758 3927 www.ti.com Transphorm +1 805 456 1300 www.transphormusa.com Examples of power management systems manufacturers suppliers
