*4.2. Prediction Applications*

One important task of the BMS is to estimate different battery states [3,8]. A statement about the current state, e.g., the SOP, often requires a prediction of future situations. More information about the present and future behavior can improve the state prediction and regulation procedures. In the current work, precise thermal models are available and, based on their temperature prediction capability novel BTMS, functionalities are developed. Thereby, an optimization of existing SOP prediction approaches is demonstrated by taking into account the thermal cell state. On the other hand, a novel battery pre-conditioning approach for fast charging optimization is presented.
