  • In this research, we report on the development of simulation system for performance verification of BMS(Battery Management System) which is utilized in electric vehicles. In the industrial circles, a manufacturer of BMS typically tests their system with real battery packs. However, it takes a long time to test all functions of BMS. Here, we develop BMU(Battery Managament Unit) as an embedded board, which will be installed in electric vehicle for controlling battery packs. All other environment factors for testing BMU are developed in softwares in order to reduce the term of test. Especially, the proposed system consists of cell simulator and CMU(Cell Management Unit) simulator which simulate real battery cells and control battery cells. These simulators enable the BMU to test more battery cells. In addition, proposed system provides diagnosis program in order to diagnose and monitor the condition of BMS which makes the test of BMS more easily. In order to verify the performance of the developed simulator, we have performed the experiment with real battery packs and our simulator. Through comparing two results of experiments, we verify that developed simulator shows better performance in terms of less amount of testing duration though having high reliability.

  • 본 논문에서는 효율적인 에너지 관리를 위해 리튬이온 배터리를 적용 능동 셀 밸런싱 시스템 BMS에 대해 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 다수의 셀과 하나의 커패시터로 구성된 SSC(Single Switched Capacitor) 방식에서 사용되는 커패시터를 리튬이온 배터리로 변경하여 적용한 것이다. SSC 방식은 커패시터의 방향성으로 인하여 홀수 번째와 짝수 번째의 배터리에 대해 별도의 스위치를 설치하여야 하며 조작이 복잡하다는 단점을 가지고 있었다. 이러한 단점을 보완하여 커패시터를 리튬이온 배터리로 대체하여 셀의 순서에 상관없이 적용이 가능한 셀 밸런싱 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법의 효율성은 BMS를 구현하여 실험 하였다. 실험 결과 셀 밸런싱이 기존의 SSC 방식보다 개선되어 효율성이 입증되었다.

  • The electric propulsion development is underway to minimize pollutants and greenhous gas emissions during the operation of ships / offshore installation vessels. The importance of the use and efficient management of batteries, which is an ESS system in ships / offshore installation vessels, is increasing. Generally, in ESS where battery is applied, cell balancing and life span are monitored in real time by BMS. Ships / offshore installation vessel are equipped with several ESS rooms, and ESS rooms with ESS systems of the same specification are being constructed due to the recent demand for electric propulsion development. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to additionally predict and diagnose battery pack and cell balancing failures by comparing BMS data for each rooms. The proposed algorithm compares the BMS data of each ESS Room according to the environmental change of the ship / offshore installation vessels, measures accurate status information, and reliably monitors it to prevent accidents in advance.

  • The performance of the battery management system (BMS) algorithm is important for ensuring the stability and efficient operation of battery packs. Such a performance is determined by the internal parameters of the electrical equivalent circuit model (EECM). This study proposes a performance improvement and verification of battery parameters for the BMS algorithm using electrical experiments and tools. The parameters were extracted through electrical characteristic experiments, and an EECM based on Ah counting was designed. Simulation results using the EECM were compared with actual experimental data to determine the best parameter extraction method.
