Environmental testing for reliable battery management system in electric vehicle

Abstract

The Battery management system (BMS) is a main component in the battery pack system for electric vehicles (EV). The function of BMS is to monitor battery cells such as; cell voltage, cell temperature, and current in the battery pack. Moreover BMS also able to balance the voltage of the cells so the difference in voltage of the cells can be minimized. By having many of these functions, BMS can identify battery health based on these parameters. With such an important function, in this paper, BMS was tested to determine its reliability. The standard testing for BMS reliability is the Environment test. In the environment test, some things that are conducted in the environment test are initial temperature cycling. From the environment, the test can be generated information to assess the quality of the BMS following its function. Furthermore, it can reduce the cost to inspect every battery cells in the packs. With the environment test as a basis for BMS reliability tester, hopefully, good quality is obtained. Future development in BMS reliability testing can also be conducted to improve reliability.

In‐depth analysis of the power management strategies in electric vehicles

“…Raharjo et al 74 developed the testing for reliable battery management concerning the ISO 16750 standard for testing the environmental conditions that assist the user in applying a set of internationally accepted environmental conditions, tests, and operating requirements, concerning the actual environment in which the equipment was deployed to operate and interpreting the potential stresses and specifies tests as well as requirements recommended for the specific mounting location in the road vehicles.…”
