Lithium-ion batteries have recently been in the spotlight as the main energy source for the energy storage devices used in the renewable energy industry. The main issues in the use of lithium-ion batteries are satisfaction with the design life and safe operation. Therefore, battery management has been required in practice. In accordance with this demand, battery state indicators such as the state-of-charge (SOC), state-of-health (SOH), state-of-function (SOF), and state-of-temperature (SOT) have been widely applied. The use of these indicators ensures safe operation without overcharging and over-discharging. In addition, it can also help satisfy the design life. This paper presents a literature review of battery state indicators over the last three years and proposes the requirement of state-of-the-art battery state indicators. It also suggests future developments for battery management system (BMS) in stationary energy storage systems (ESSs).
