A battery management system (BMS) is a sophisticated electronic and software control system that is designed to monitor and manage the operational variables of rechargeable batteries such as those powering electric vehicles (EVs), electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, battery energy storage systems (BESS), laptops, and smartphones.
A battery management system directly influences the safety, efficiency, and longevity of the battery, and by extension, the overall performance and reliability of the system. Key impacts of a battery management system include:
The primary functions of a battery management system are monitoring, state estimation, cell balancing, power management, thermal management, protection, and communications.
Over time, individual cells within a battery pack may exhibit different charge levels due to variations in manufacturing, usage, or temperature conditions. A battery management system balances the charge across cells to ensure they all have the same charge level, thereby maximizing the battery''s capacity and lifespan. Two common approaches for cell balancing are passive balancing and active balancing.
A battery management system drains charge from high-SOC cells using bleeding resistors. In this case, energy is dissipated as heat. Simscape Battery allows you to have both a built-in passive balancing circuit in the battery pack and an external balancing strategy in the battery management system.
Simscape Battery enables you to test your passive cell balancing algorithms in the battery management system on a battery emulation hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system using the Passive Balancing Interface block.
A battery management system oversees and controls the power flow to and from a battery pack. During charging, the BMS prevents overcurrent and overvoltage. The constant-current, constant-voltage (CC-CV) algorithm is a common battery charging approach used in a battery management system. During the constant-current charging phase, the charging current is held constant and the battery voltage gradually increases. During the constant-voltage charging phase, the charging voltage is held constant and the battery current gradually decays.
Controlling temperature is crucial in batteries because high temperatures significantly decrease battery life and low temperatures lower the usable capacity and energy as well as affect how fast batteries can be charged. It is important for a battery management system to activate heaters or coolers to keep the temperature within safe limits. With Simscape Battery, you can model a charging and discharging cycle on a battery module assembly while monitoring the cell temperature and enabling cooling.
The battery cells start at different temperatures, and the Battery Coolant Control block monitors the cell temperature and starts cooling the module assembly if the battery cells surpass a limit temperature. When the cell temperature goes below a threshold, the Battery Coolant Control block deactivates the coolant flow.
With Simscape Battery, you can use built-in blocks to build battery thermal management control algorithms, such as battery coolant control and battery heater control.
A battery management system provides safeguards against conditions that can harm the battery, such as overcharging, overdischarging, overcurrent, and overtemperature. Avoiding these conditions is crucial for preventing damage to the battery cells and ensuring user safety.
