The GSE challenge

When the battery fails, ground operation stops

In airport environments, every minute of downtime has a direct cost. Generic BMS solutions are not designed for ground-operation demands.

Ramp availability

Unexpected stops

See moreSee less

Generic BMS systems can stop operation when a single cell reaches minimum voltage, even with significant usable pack energy remaining.

Operational impact: rotation delays, more equipment out of service and pressure on the remaining fleet.

Technical need: effective balancing in charge and discharge to preserve real usable autonomy.

Thermal stability

Heat-driven degradation

See moreSee less

In BMS designs, power flows through the board. Accumulated heat degrades electronics and shortens system life.

Operational impact: higher failure rates, more corrective maintenance and reduced service life.

Technical need: thermal separation with off-BMS dissipation and per-cell monitoring.

Charging window

Overly long charging cycles

See moreSee less

Traditional balancing only acts during charge at low current; correcting minor imbalance in large packs can take many hours.

Operational impact: fewer units available per shift and lower response capacity.

Technical need: multichannel architecture that accelerates correction without extending charging windows.

Integration and support

Third-party dependency

See moreSee less

With third-party BMS firmware, every adjustment requires intermediaries, delaying integration issue resolution.

Operational impact: longer resolution times and lower adaptation capacity to real operation.

Technical need: in-house BMS with direct support for fast firmware and protocol iteration.

NCPower System

In-house technology for ground operations that cannot stop

NCPower System combines hardware, algorithms and communications into one intelligent control ecosystem for industrial operation.

Advanced balancing

Charge and discharge

Cell balancing works in both charge and discharge, avoiding unnecessary charging extensions through multichannel external balancers.

Result: up to 40% less charging time

See in depth

Thermal management

Total isolation

Energy dissipation occurs in external balancers, not in the BMS board, with per-cell thermal sensing for continuous control.

Result: +30% BMS life cycles

See in depth

Control core

In-house BMS

100% proprietary firmware with independent CAN channels, multi-level safety alarms, isolation tests and cloud telemetry via integrated SIM.

Result: faster integration and direct support

Frequently asked questions

Technical FAQ

Direct answers on integration, functional safety, certifications and continuous operation in airport environments.

How does the battery integrate with our current control systems?

NCPower BMS includes 3 independent CAN channels and RS-485 support. As an in-house platform, we adapt protocols directly to each equipment control architecture.

What functional safety level does the system provide?

The BMS implements 3 alarm levels, electrical isolation testing, discharge lock during charging, and continuous thermal monitoring with per-cell NTC sensing.

Why is your balancing faster than other manufacturers?

Because balancing operates in both charge and discharge with multichannel architecture acting on multiple cells simultaneously.

Which certifications apply to airport equipment?

We work with CE, UN38.3, ECE R100.02, ISO 16750, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, with project-specific technical documentation available on request.

What battery life and warranty can we expect?

Our batteries are designed for intensive operation and include up to 10-year coverage depending on use profile.

Do you offer remote fleet monitoring?

Yes. The integrated SIM sends real-time data to the NCPower Cloud Data Center for preventive maintenance and anomaly detection.
