This book systematically introduces readers to the core algorithms of battery management system (BMS) for electric vehicles.These algorithms cover most of the technical bottlenecks encountered in BMS applications, including battery system modeling, state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) estimation, state of power (SOP) estimation, remaining useful life (RUL) prediction, heating at low…
Battery Management Systems: Accurate State-of-Charge Indication for Battery-Powered Applications describes the field of State-of-Charge (So C) indication for rechargeable batteries. With the emergence of battery-powered devices accurately estimating the battery So C, and even more important the remaining time of use, becomes more and more important. An overview of the state-of-the-art of So C indication…
Electric drive vehicles (EDVs) are seen on American roads in increasing numbers. Related to this market trend and critical for it to increase are improvements in battery technology. Battery Technology for Electric Vehicles examines in detail at the research support from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the development of nickel-metal-hydride (Ni MH) and…
