Battery Management Systems - Design by Modelling describes the
design of Battery Management Systems (BMS) with the aid of
simulation methods. The basic tasks of BMS are to ensure optimum
use of the energy stored in the battery (pack) that powers a
portable device and to prevent damage inflicted on the battery
(pack). This becomes increasingly important due to the larger power
consumption associated with added features to portable devices on
the one hand and the demand for longer run times on the other hand.
In addition to explaining the general principles of BMS tasks such
as charging algorithms and State-of-Charge (SoC) indication
methods, the book also covers real-life examples of BMS
functionality of practical portable devices such as shavers and
cellular phones.
Simulations offer the advantage over measurements that less time
is needed to gain knowledge of a battery's behaviour in interaction
with other parts in a portable device under a wide variety of
conditions. This knowledge can be used to improve the design of a
BMS, even before a prototype of the portable device has been built.
The battery is the central part of a BMS and good simulation models
that can be used to improve the BMS design were previously
unavailable. Therefore, a large part of the book is devoted to the
construction of simulation models for rechargeable batteries. With
the aid of several illustrations it is shown that design
improvements can indeed be realized with the presented battery
models. Examples include an improved charging algorithm that was
elaborated in simulations and verified in practice and a new SoC
indication system that was developed showing promising results.
The contents of Battery Management Systems - Design by Modelling
is based on years of research performed at the Philips Research
Laboratories. The combination of basic and detailed descriptions of
battery behaviour both in chemical and electrical terms makes this
book truly multidisciplinary. It can therefore be read both by
people with an (electro)chemical and an electrical engineering
background.
