The battery pack in an electric vehicle (EV) can produce a lot of heat, especially during rapid charging. Ideally, batteries should be operated at temperatures below 35° C. When consistently operated at higher temperatures, degradation of the … [Read more...]
What software tools are available for EV battery modeling at the system level?
Several possible definitions of “system” exist for electric vehicle (EV) battery modeling. They range from the battery’s interactions with the complete EV drivetrain to thermal modeling of the battery pack, battery cell development and integration … [Read more...]
How using AI-supported data is making EVs safer and more sustainable
Recent studies by RTWH Aachen revealed that the failure rate of electric vehicles (EVs) is only between 0.9 and 1.2 per 10,000 vehicles, compared to 7.8 fire accidents per 10,000 with conventional combustion engines. However, reports of alleged EV … [Read more...]
What does the “Internet-of-Batteries” mean, and what are the advantages for EVs?
The Internet-of-Batteries (IoB) is a network system consisting of batteries, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud servers. IoB connects batteries to a network and incorporates intelligent algorithms. This technology has the potential to modernize … [Read more...]
What does a digital twin mean for a BMS?
A digital twin (DT) generally refers to a digital representation of a physical object, system, or process. The idea of creating a DT is to replicate a real-time model of a physical entity. While trying to make a real-time model, the various aspects … [Read more...]
