Abstract:

Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used as energy storage for electric vehicles (EV) due to their high power density and long lifetime. The high capacity and large quantity of battery cells in EV as well as the high standards of vehicle safety and reliability call for the agile and adaptive battery management system (BMS). BMS is one of the key technologies for electric vehicle development, which contributes to the overall performance of lithium-ion batteries in operations. Through a comprehensive literature review, this paper presents a review of lithium-ion battery management systems, including the main measurement parameters within a BMS, state estimation methods, cell equalization issues, thermal management strategies and research trends and progresses. The paper discusses and highlights the key elements and challenges with recommendations in terms of the development of next generation BMS technologies.

Key words: lithium-ion battery in electric in electric vehicles, battery management system, parameters measurement, state estimation, equalization, thermal management
