HDT seminar programme

Battery management systems for high-voltage batteries (lithium-ion)

Online seminar
VA25-01223
Participation fee: 665 €

To registration
The seminar language is German. The seminar focuses on the design of a battery management system for high-voltage batteries in cars and the normative requirements. The topics of battery architecture, BMS structure, BMS functions and the algorithms for State of Charge (SoC) and State of Health (SoH) are covered in detail. The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the development and trends in battery management systems.
The following are treated:
  • Advanced basics of the various battery architectures
  • Physical BMS architectures
  • Hardware structure of a BMS
  • Overview of BMS functions and a functional BMS architecture
  • SoC and SoH algorithms and their development
  • Future trends in development

Speakers:

Charlotte Schöpges, M. Sc.
FEV Europe GmbH, Aachen

Charlotte Schöpges is a dedicated and experienced engineer who currently works as Team Leader for Battery E/E and BMS System at FEV Europe GmbH, a position she has held since February 2022. Previously, she worked as a project engineer at FEV Europe GmbH. Her academic background includes a Master’s degree in Management Sciences with a specialisation in General Management from the University of Liège and a Master’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the same university. She is multilingual and fluent in French, German and English. She has also obtained several certifications, including a certification for working under high-voltage conditions (HV3) in the automotive sector and a certification as an Automotive Functional Safety Professional. Her outstanding master’s thesis in the field of electrical engineering was honoured by the University of Liège in 2017.

On the topic

An automotive battery management system (BMS) monitors and controls the charging and discharging process of the battery to optimise its performance and service life. It ensures that the battery operates within safe operating parameters by monitoring temperature, voltage and current flow. The BMS balances the individual cells of the battery to ensure even utilisation and charging. It also protects the battery from overcharging, deep discharging and overheating, thereby increasing the safety of the vehicle.

Agenda

Online seminar, 09:00 to 16:00

  • Welcome and introduction
  • Introduction to high-voltage battery systems:
  • Definition of terms, basic structure and electrical architecture
  • Definition of battery management systems and their architecture
  • BMS structure and hardware development
  • Overview of the BMS functions
  • Detailed insights into SoC and SoH algorithm topics and their validation
  • Normative requirements for the BMS
  • Trends in development (cell chemistry, switching architecture, functions)

Objective

Trends in modern battery management systems (BMS) in the automobile. The focus will be on automotive lithium-ion battery storage systems. Speakers with practical experience will provide a detailed presentation on the technology, dimensioning and application-specific aspects.

Circle of participants

This event is aimed at

  • Developers of high-voltage storage systems, especially hardware and software developers
  • Function developers of vehicle control units who want more insight into BMS
  • Battery Management Systems (BMS) – Suppliers

In addition, the topic of BMS is becoming increasingly relevant for 12V battery systems and stationary energy storage systems.
