Abstract
A battery management system (BMS) is a system that manages a rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack), by protecting the battery to operate beyond its safe limits and monitoring its state of charge (SoC) & state of health (SoH). BMS has been the essential integral part of hybrid electrical vehicles (HEVs) & electrical vehicles (EVs). BMS provides safety to the system and user with run time monitoring of battery for any critical hazarder conditions. In the present work, design & simulation of BMS for EVs is presented. The entire model of BMS & all other functional blocks of BMS are implemented in Simulink toolbox of MATLAB R2012a. The BMS presented in this research paper includes Neural Network Controller (NNC), Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) & Statistical Model. The battery parameters required to design and simulate the BMS are extracted from the experimental results and incorporated in the model. The Neuro-Fuzzy approach is used to model the electrochemical behavior of the Lead-acid battery (selected for case study) then used to estimate the SoC. The Statistical model is used to address battery's SoH. Battery cycle test results have been used for initial model design, Neural Network training and later; it is transferred to the design & simulation of BMS using Simulink. The simulation results are validated by experimental results and MATLAB/Simulink simulation. This model provides more than 97% accuracy in SoC and reasonably accurate SoH.
