Lithium-ion Battery Management System: A review
B. Devi, Virendra Kumar
Abstract
The practical design of an Electric Vehicle (EV) relies on battery characteristics, and various types of batteries available on the market. Owing towards it, the lithium-ion battery is found to be the best alternative for commercial applications due to its high energy density, the amount of energy stored by their physical weight, a low self-discharging and low cost. In order to keep the total electric vehicle system safe, effective, and reliable, battery packs must be routinely checked and controlled. Since a Battery Management System (BMS) is being constructed, the battery pack alone could not function or reach its maximum capacity unless some strong, effective, and cutting-edge controls being created around it. BMS perform the following activities: battery health monitoring, temperature monitoring, cell balancing, thermal management, etc. For the measurement, different analog/digital sensors are used in conjunction with microcontrollers for monitoring purposes. As a result, this paper can be a useful resource for researchers who are interested to the application of battery management systems and related topics.
