High-voltage battery management systems (BMS) for electric vehicles

A. Hauser; R. Kuhn    TUM CREATE Ltd, Singapore

Abstract

Due to the limited operating windows of lithium-ion batteries regarding temperature, voltage, and current and the dangerous situations that can arise if those operating windows are violated, a battery management system (BMS) is required to supervise and control the batteries in a multicell battery energy storage system. This chapter presents the requirements for an automotive BMS, the different possible topologies, and a typical implementation of a master/slave BMS for hybrid electric vehicle or battery electric vehicle applications, with a focus on the challenging design aspects. The chapter concludes with future ...
