1. BMS – Battery Management System

The implementation of an advanced Battery Management System (BMS) for electric vehicles (EV) has many challenges, ranging from accurate parameter monitoring to efficient control mechanisms. By integrating sophisticated monitoring systems and robust control mechanisms, these challenges can be effectively addressed. The seamless integration of communication protocols ensures reliable data exchange, while adaptive control strategies BMS play an important role in the safety, efficiency, and reliability of electric vehicles, creating the foundation for an electric and sustainable future.

Monitoring Parameters:

  1. Voltage
  2. Temperature
  3. Current
  4. Calculation of Charge/Discharge Limits
  5. State Monitoring: SOC, SOH, and SOF( state of charge, state of health and state of function)

Communication Protocols: Integrating multiple communication protocols poses compatibility and reliability challenges, crucial for seamless data transfer and effective BMS operation.

Control Mechanisms: Implementing effective protection mechanisms and advanced control strategies is critical for battery safety and operational efficiency.

Solution: By deploying high-precision sensors and advanced hardware integration real-time acquisition is achieved.

Using the NI( National Instruments ) and other standard or customized hardware, LabVIEW, Veristand, Teststand, and other integration platforms the system is developed to have accurate data interpretation

Matlab / Simulink models can be integrated on NI RT platform to get precise data for next-level analysis.

With integrated CAN, and CAN FD protocols for comprehensive data exchange, the system ensures data integrity and security. As a control mechanism by implementing robust protection circuits, active cell balancing techniques, and adaptive control algorithms efficient energy management is achieved
