Abstract
The widespread adoption of electric vehicles contributes significantly to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gas emissions, as they rely solely on electricity as their primary source. Electric vehicles produce no tailpipe emissions, thereby improving air quality and reducing carbon footprints. The Battery Management System (BMS) is a specialized system that monitors and controls the workings of electric vehicles. It manages rechargeable batteries, individual cells, and battery packs, ensuring their operation within a safe operating area (SOA). The BMS monitors battery state, calculates and reports data, authenticates information, and balances the battery. Managing the battery's performance is vital, but the diverse range of available BMS boards poses challenges for effective implementation. The complexity increases with different types of boards, leading to difficulties in troubleshooting and poor maintenance due to varying specifications and compatibility. Periodic maintenance of the BMS is essential to ensure proper functioning, operation, and accuracy, which can increase overall maintenance costs. Therefore, creating a common adaptable board for BMS is necessary to reduce costs and improve efficiency. The BMS board also includes additional features such as continuous monitoring of battery temperature during charging and discharging. MATLABs Simulink is used to simulate the operation of a common adaptable board for BMS.Index Terms: common adaptable board, Battery Management System, MATLAB software, active cell balancing, monitoring voltage and current, maintaining temperature.
