LiFePO₄ BMS Diagnostics Assessment using an improved Battery Management Model in the Loop Toolchain

Summary:

The widespread use of lithium-ion batteries in various applications and the mandatory use of a battery management system (BMS) requires a comprehensive evaluation of the various diagnostic functions of a BMS. Here, a toolchain and LiFePO4-Model is presented that allows comparing diagnostic algorithms under the same but freely definable conditions for different applications. This toolchain is applied to various SOC algorithms.
