Introduction of Battery Management System Lithium-ion battery is undoubtedly the key player in the current global electrification transition. Beside its advantages of higher energy density and volumetric density, it is also more volatile compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. Therefore, proper management and control of lithium-ion batteries using an embedded system called battery management system or BMS is necessary. On the one hand, BMS closely monitors each individual cell in the battery pack via various sensors to estimate battery internal status. On the other hand, BMS timely communicate with other electronic control units (ECU), e.g. inverter, vehicle control unit, in the system to prevent abusing conditions that could accelerate battery degradation or even trigger catastrophic battery thermal runaway. This seminar will provide an introduction of BMS with some further explanation on the BMS algorithm and software development.
