Optimization of Lithium-Ion Battery Management Systems (BMS) for Electric Vehicles.

The development of high-performance topologies for cell balancing systems in lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is crucial to maximizing their lifespan and ensuring operational safety. The balancing system ensures that each cell operates within its optimal parameters, maintaining a voltage or capacity level comparable to the other cells in the pack. Without proper balancing, certain cells may become overstressed, leading to risks such as overcharging, undercharging, accelerated degradation, or even internal short circuits caused by the formation of metallic dendrites.
