Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of managing an energy storage system (ESS) of a vehicle, wherein the energy storage system has a beginning of life (BOL). The vehicle has at least a first application and a second application, and the energy storage system has a first end of life (EOL) for the first application and a second end of life (EOL) for the second application. Further, the ESS has a first lifetime between the BOL and the EOL and a second lifetime between the BOL and the EOL. The method comprises the steps of: a) determining energy and/or power requirement for the vehicle being in the first application; b) defining energy and/or power of the energy storage system at the beginning of life (BOL) of the energy storage system of the vehicle; c) determining a first state of health value SOHat the first end of life (EOL) of the energy storage system of the vehicle being in the first application; d) determining energy and/or power requirement for the vehicle being in the second application; e) determining a second state of health value SOHat the second end of life (EOL) of the energy storage system if the vehicle is used in the second application.
