Battery Management System Testing

The key to accelerating development of electrified vehicle (xEV) batteries is to decouple the interdependencies which exist between development of battery management electronics and firmware, and the development of cells and packs. Advanced modeling, simulation, and test techniques can be used to develop the electronics and firmware concurrently with the cells and packs, thereby expediting xEV battery development cycles.

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.

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.
