Basic principles of automotive modular battery management system design

Abstract

Nowadays, manufacturing of electric vehicles remains one of the most dynamically developing industries all over the globe. The issues of battery efficiency improvement by a suitable battery cell structure selection and battery control system enhancement are of the highest priority in the process of the battery design. Battery management systems (BMS) with modular structure have become the most popular as control systems in electric vehicle battery applications. The paper describes design principles of such type of BMS and necessary hardware.

Electric cars, ships, and their charging infrastructure – A comprehensive review

“…3 (a) (all features on one PCB), Modular (master/slave) as shown in Fig. 3 (b) [54], [55], distributed (several PMUs) as shown in Fig. 3 (c) [56], and decentralized (every cell with its own board) [57,58].…”

Design of a Modular Battery Management System for Electric Motorcycle

“…Therefore, in the current battery management system research [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28], most of the proposed battery management systems are used in series lithium-ion battery modules. However, in order to increase the capacity and high working voltage, most of the lithiumion battery modules are series or parallel type, so the current battery management system cannot afford its functions.…”
