This document offers a solution to providing a flexible, cost-effective production test system for several designs of battery balancing, monitoring, and management system (BMS) printed circuit board assemblies.
Recapping The Battery Show 2014
January 7, 2015
Bloomy’s participation at The Battery Show Expo for Advanced Batteries in Novi, MI consisted of an exhibition, a presentation, and participation in the open-tech forum, all of which allowed attendees to learn valuable BMS test insights.
Simulate and measure BMS activity
The BMS Environmental Test System is a configurable platform simulating the essential signals used by Battery Management Systems (BMS) and cell monitoring modules with the ability to perform environmental testing on multiple BMS units simultaneously. The system implements single point value testing to evaluate specific BMS functions such as cell over and under voltage scenarios, cell leakage current, lost communications, or faulty system I/O.

Challenge
Bloomy and RDVS were tasked with developing a system providing the ability to rapidly produce Battery Management System (BMS) algorithms on physical hardware, and safely test the unit against different battery chemistries, fault scenarios, and drive profiles.
Isolated channels with sink/source capabilites
Real-time battery pack simulation
The BMS Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Test System is a high performance platform providing all necessary input signals used for battery pack simulation. A real-time operating system executes complex cell and pack models commonly used for BMS algorithm development and firmware regression testing.
NY-BEST Grand Opening Features Bloomy
May 12, 2014
The New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology (NY-BEST) test and commercialization center celebrated its grand opening in Eastman Business Park on April 30. NY-BEST partnered with DNV GL (formerly DNV KEMA) and local New York entities such as New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), and Empire State Development to create the commercialization center. This center promises to stimulate the rapidly growing energy technology storage industry by providing crucial product development services to test the viability and performance of innovative energy storage technologies before they are introduced to the marketplace.
BMS Development and Test Presentation at AETC
November 8, 2013
The recent partnership of Nuvation and Bloomy has led to a joint presentation at the Advanced Energy Technology Congress in San Diego, CA on November 12 to 15. Michael Worry, CEO of Nuvation, and Jonathan Murray, Business Unit Leader of Bloomy Energy Systems, discussed the advancements of Battery Management Systems (BMS) and how to improve reliability through testing with a Battery HIL Test System. The presentation is part of Battery Safety 2013, focused on the advancements in system design, integration, and testing for safety and reliability.
