Answer Key
- Which one is NOT a primary function of battery management system (BMS) in an electric vehicle? Deciding the size of the battery pack for the vehicle
- What is the purpose of a BMS in electric vehicles? Calculate and report the battery’s state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) for accurate range prediction, balance cells to maximize the usable stored energy and battery pack lifetime, monitor and adjust parameters such as temperature and load management to ensure the battery operates efficiently, and continuously monitor the voltage and temperature of the battery cells to provide an early warning of potential safety issues
- What method is NOT suitable for estimating battery state of charge (SOC)? Direct measurement
- True or false: Cell balancing improves lifespan and capacity utilization of electric vehicle (EV) batteries True
- Which is true about state of health estimation? Good SOH estimation helps improve SOC estimation accuracy
- Which following is NOT true about traction battery packs in electric vehicles (EVs)? Performance and lifespan are unaffected by temperature
- What does the Battery Builder app in Simscape Battery do? Design battery packs from cell to pack
- How can you test your BMS algorithm? Desktop simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, real-time simulation, and hardware prototyping
- Which one is NOT a step for developing battery management systems? Analyze electricity cost
- Why do you need models for automotive BMS development? Battery plant models are used to test BMS algorithms, models are used for state estimation with an extended Kalman filter, and models are used to estimate the temperature where sensors are unavailable
