Develop Battery Management System Algorithms

Use Simulink and Simscape™ to develop algorithms that ensure desired performance, safe operation, and acceptable lifespan under diverse operating and environmental conditions. With system-level simulation, verify functional aspects of the BMS design on behavioral models of battery, electrical circuitry, environmental conditions, and loads. Gain insight into the dynamic behavior of the battery pack and explore the effectiveness of BMS algorithms to:

• Monitor cell voltage and temperature
• Estimate state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH)
• Control the battery charging profile
• Balance the SOC of individual cells
• Isolate the battery pack from source and load, when necessary

Test and Verify Battery Management System Algorithms

Generate C/C++ and HDL code from Simulink and Simscape models for rapid prototyping (RP) or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing to validate the BMS algorithms using real-time simulation. Emulate the BMS controller so that you can validate algorithms before generating and implementing code on a microcontroller or FPGA. Test a BMS controller before using hardware prototypes by conducting HIL testing to simulate the balance of the battery system.

Generate and Deploy Code

Generate readable, compact, and efficient C/C++ and HDL code from battery system algorithms ready for implementation on production microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs.

• Use Embedded Coder^® and the hardware support packages for embedded code generation and deployment on ARM^® Cortex^®-A/M/R, C2000, STM32, Infineon^® AURIX™, Xilinx^® Zynq^®, and Intel^® SoC devices
• Use HDL Coder™ and the hardware support packages for HDL code generation and deployment on Intel (FPGA, SoC), Xilinx (FPGA, Zynq, RFSoC), and Microchip (FPGA, SoC) devices
• Optimize code generation settings, improve code efficiency, and facilitate integration with legacy code, data types, and calibration parameters
