Battery Management System for Lithium-Ion Batteries in Electric Vehicles

Measurement of the SOC is one of the basic functions of BMS for lithium-ion batteries pack in EVs. It is equivalent to fuel gauge in conventional vehicles which will indicate the miles cars can still run and when they should be charged. So the accurate SOC is needed to estimate to prolong the lifetime and to improve performance of the battery pack. The validated SOC estimation strategy may be calibrated by the experimental data from this project. Also, the cell balancing strategy is needed to prevent the battery pack from overcharge or over-discharged which I can get the basic knowledge about it through this project.
