International Conference Automotive Battery Management Systems

With ever more stringent emissions targets being introduced and a corresponding surge in EV and HEV production globally, an in-depth understanding and optimised utilisation of the battery management system (BMS) is more important than ever.

In the race to optimise performance and reduce costs, an intelligent battery management system is necessary to lengthen battery life, thereby reducing the vehicle cost over its entire lifetime.  Successful cell utilisation needs to account for the heterogeneous aging of battery cells, how to best measure for a state of charge and state of health as well as an effective balancing of the cells during the charging and discharging process.  As well as controlling battery performance, the BMS is paramount in ensuring the safety of the battery pack.  This requires an in depth understanding of the fundamental cell chemistries, performance characteristics and battery failure modes.

IQPC’s 1st International Conference “Automotive Battery Management Systems” will bring together stakeholders from along the value chain to ensure maximum knowledge transfer and professional exchange.
