Battery Management System (BMS) for high-voltage batteries

This project involved the development of a Battery Management System (BMS) for high-voltage batteries in electric vehicles.

The goal was to optimize the safety, efficiency, and lifespan of batteries through advanced control strategies.

The main tasks included the development of control algorithms for charging and discharging batteries, thermal management, and battery condition monitoring. Technologies and tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, Embedded C, and various battery testing platforms were used in the process.

The development process started with the creation of precise control algorithms to regulate the charging and discharging operations. These algorithms were developed to maximize battery efficiency and extend its lifespan. Another critical aspect was thermal management, which maintains the battery temperature within an optimal range to prevent overheating and ensure performance consistency. Battery condition monitoring involved continuous checking and assessment of the battery state to detect potential issues early and initiate appropriate countermeasures.

To ensure the safety and reliability of the BMS (Battery Management System), comprehensive testing and validation were conducted. These tests included both simulations and real-world test runs, ensuring that the system meets the rigorous requirements of the ISO 26262 safety standards.

The end result was a robust BMS that significantly enhanced the safety, efficiency, and lifespan of high-voltage batteries in electric vehicles. Sensified was responsible for the implementation of this project and ensured the development of a powerful and reliable system through the use of state-of-the-art technologies and rigorous testing methods.
