EMS – Energy Management System

The term Energy Management System (EMS) refers to the set of solutions that monitors, controls, and optimizes energy usage in buildings, industrial plants, and electric vehicles. A system that allows for real-time monitoring and management of energy performance,   aiming to reduce consumption and increase productive efficiency. In the case of electric vehicles, a fundamental role in this regard is played by the Battery Management System (BMS), which protects and optimizes battery pack power, ensuring the EV maximum energy performance. The BMS also monitors the State Of Charge (SOC) and the State Of Health (SOH), two key factors for the electric vehicle's energy system. 

The Energy Management System is therefore the keystone for the correct distribution of energy during the use of an EV, with the goal of reducing energy costs and environmental impact. Based on monitoring and data processing, the EMS  can also manage the heating and cooling of the cabin and interface with smart charging infrastructure, optimizing charging times and methods based on energy costs and the availability of renewable energy.
