Battery Management System and its Applications

Preface

We have known each other since the autumn of 2005 and have been engaged in the research of electric vehicles together. We often worked in each other’s laboratories in the form of short-term visits. In China and Switzerland, we have a group of good partners. We trusted each other and always shared information together.

In 2015, two of us discussed writing down our knowledge and thoughts in the field of BMS and publishing a book to share with researchers and engineers around the world. However, the work of editing and publishing is huge. Our teams on both sides have added many young researchers to participate in the organization and editing of the manuscript. With everyone’s efforts, we had completed the basic compilation of the manuscript by the end of 2019.

Due to the influence of COVID-19, our final editing work has been affected. Finally, we were glad to see that in the winter of 2021, we were able to send the manuscript of this book to the publishing house.

In this book, Chapters 1, 4, 10, 15, and 16 were mainly written by Andrea Vezzini, with the assistance of Neeta Khare. Chapters 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 were mainly written by Xiaojun Tan, with the assistance of Yuqian Fan. Chapter 17 was written by You Xu. Liangliang Wei helped to revise all the text and mature the figures and tables.

Many thanks are due to the faculties and students from both research teams in China and Switzerland, who gave valuable help to this book.
