Addressing Challenges Involved in EV Battery Modelling, its Thermal Analysis and BMS Design

Overview

Battery models have become an indispensable tool for the design of battery-powered systems. Their uses include battery characterization, state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) estimation, algorithm development, system-level optimization, and real-time simulation for battery management system design.

Software algorithms play a critical role in battery management systems (BMS) to ensure maximum performance, safe operation, and optimal life of battery pack under diverse operating and environmental conditions. In this webinar, you will learn how to:

• Model battery packs using electrical networks whose topology mirrors that of the actual system and scales with the number of cells
• Analyze thermal behavior of the battery and design associated cooling systems
• Simulate onboard power electronics chargers along with battery packs
• Design state observers for state-of-charge online estimation using machine learning techniques
• Generate production-quality C/C++ code for target embedded processors
