EV BMS With Charge Monitor and Fire Detection

Abstract

With the rapid rise in electric vehicles (EVs), intelligent Systems are being developed that will facilitate battery 
reliability, improve performance and optimize safety while operational. This paper includes an advanced Battery 
Management System (BMS) that monitors battery charge in real-time and takes proactive measures in preventing 
fire. The BMS will be used for real-time monitoring of critical parameters of the battery, such as voltage, current 
drain, temperature, and state of charge (SOC). These will enable accurate control and extension of the life of 
battery packs. Each BMS will be connected to a monitoring unit that will process sensors for abnormal thermal 
and electrical states, which may cause hazardous situations. To minimize safety risks associated with EV battery 
packs, the BMS will include a module for early detection and prevention of fire by monitoring thermal runaway 
and taking pre-emptive actions, i.e., isolating circuits and alerting. Intelligent algorithms will be included for 
effective energy management and efficient performance for various battery states of charge. These will 
be integrated into an enhanced safety system for overall safety and optimal charge/discharge cycles. This model 
is intended to provide a robust, scalable and cost-effective solution to the next generation of electric mobility while 
promoting greater.
