Advanced Battery Management System
1. INTRODUCTION
Electric vehicles (EVs) are gradually being adopted as the main-stream mode
of transport across the world. An EV consists of a battery pack, motor, power converter
and mechanical transmission system. Most EVs use lithium-ion batteries as the source
of power due to such factors as high energy density, low discharge rate and long
lifespan. Battery failure can com-promise the safety of drivers and passengers. It is
there-fore necessary to monitor every cell in the battery pack and measure crucial
information precisely. This calls for a battery management system (BMS) dedicated
entirely to protect the battery and prolong its life.
As e-mobility increasingly become part of daily life, there is a growing need for
more efficient charging solutions. Fast electric vehicle (EV) charging station equipped
with powerful DC chargers are currently the answers. DC EV chargers are an attractive

choice because they allow much faster charging than the standard AC EV ones that
many EV owners have at home. Today, a DC charger with 150KW, can put a 200km
charge on an EV in around just 15minutes. As fast charging and battery technologies
continue to evolve and improve in the near future experts anticipate the charging time
to drop even further.
The BMS needs to be reliable and highly efficient with minimum accuracy of
1mV to 2mV. It is powered continuously from the EV’s battery itself.
Hence, it must consume less power but have a high processing speed, so that
load on the battery is not too high. Also, a large memory is required to store monitored
data.

Voltage and current measurement units measure voltage and current of every cell inside
a battery pack.
The government has come up with a number of policies aimed towards boosting
EV manufacture in India. Under this, Automotive Research Association of India
(ARAI), a research and certification institute, developed an intelligent BMS ARAI
eMi4 to cater to the different types of batteries. Many start-ups are also coming up with
a focus on EVs. ION Energy, a Mumbai based start-up, provides a platform based on
software analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help Indian EV companies
manufacture their own batteries, as well as design the BMS.
With the growing sales of EVs automobile manufacturers plan to extend their
BMS production capacities. To achieve better performance of BMS, there is a need for
more research in the natural environment where effects of different weather conditions
can be checked.
While the global EV markets is rapidly gaining momentum towards the target
set by Electric Vehicles Initiative (EVI) of global deployment of 20millions EV’s by
2021. EV’s in India are beginning to gain traction. While the government’s positive
push (inform of demand incentives like subsidies) is seen as a move that will help jump-
start the EV ecosystem across the country, it is our belief that the unit economics for
the right use cases have already started making commercial sense.
India has the right talent, a promising consumer base that is pro-clean mobility,
and now the rightly demonstrated regulatory commitment- a concoction that will drive
the industry to solve specific mobility needs that are best solved by Electric Vehicles.
In order to maintain safety and efficient working of EV’s we adopt the Battery
Management System Technology.

recovery remains a challenge for the industry. The U.S. Department of Energy is also
supporting the Lithium-Ion battery recycling prize to identify solutions for collecting,
sorting, storing, and transporting spent and discarded lithium-ion batteries for eventual
recycling and material recovery. Most of today’s PHEV and EVs use lithium-ion
batteries, through the exact chemistry often varies from that of consumer electronics
batteries. Research and development are ongoing to reduce their relatively high cost,
extend their useful life, and address safety concerns in regard to overheating.

Lithium battery packs comprises of multiple cells connected in series and parallel
configuration; hence cell balancing is the important aspect for efficient in power
delivery. Imbalance cell causes internal loading of battery reducing state of charge and
increasing failure rate. Cell balancing mechanism is required for proper battery pack
operation and higher cell life. Battery management system or BMS plays the role of
manager for lithium batteries maintaining and enhancing its performance with
protection against hostile conditions to prevent irreversible failure.

unit preventing sudden abruption in load current to affect lithium cells. Further, the
loading transients’ range in milliseconds and require an effective management to avoid
high discharge rate.
Electric vehicle is a subset of the vehicle therefore needs a fuel gauge. Coulomb
counting, a party of BMS precisely measure the state of charge and compute the driving
range. This mitigates the range anxiety of any EV owner. Further, refueling or
recharging battery bank from any charging stations requires BMS integrated battery
unit for information exchange with the charger. It is because of BMS, you can refuel
your vehicle with same rate and efficiency at any public charging station.

3. SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
3.1 Introduction
Performance Optimization: Li-ion batteries perform best when their State of Charge
(SoC) is maintained between the minimum and maximum charge limits defined in the
battery profile. Cell balancing is needed to maintain the cells at equal voltage levels and
maximize the capacity utilization of the battery pack. BMS performs cell balancing by
draining excess energy from cells that are more charged than others. Through active or
passive balancing techniques
Health Monitoring and Diagnostics: The BMS uses the collected data points
(temperature, voltage, current etc..,) to estimate the State of Charge and State of Health
(SoH) of the battery pack. The SoC refers to available energy in the battery and
determine how far the vehicles can go before needing to recharge. The SoH measures

the current condition of the battery as compared to its original capacity and indicates
the battery’s suitability for the application.

5. APPLICATIONS
Battery Management Systems (BMS) are used to monitor and control battery banks
used in many industries. With a dominance of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries in most
energy storage applications, BMS have become the critical enabler, from both a
functionality and safety perspective.
• Electric Vehicles, which includes electric cars, trucks, and non-road type
vehicles such as golf carts, as well as electric-powered machinery such as fork
lifts. Typically, battery banks within the forklift, car and bus, communicate
with the Battery Control Module using CAN
• Grid Power infrastructure where battery banks are used for backup power or to
protect from power fluctuations on the grid. Applications include cell phone
towers, A/C power substations, Internet infrastructure equipment, aviation
ground support systems, tower communications and weather stations, plus
Distributed Energy Resources. The latter application is a sizeable industry itself,
encompassing solar and wind-generating plants.
