Join Pickering Interfaces’ simulation product manager, Paul Bovingdon, and sales manager, Christopher Kolbe, as they explore the intricate world of Battery Management Systems (BMS) in our session "Millivolt to Microvolt: How Your BMS Can Enable More Miles."

This session will focus on BMS accuracy improvements that will extend the range of your battery packs. Specifically, we will discuss the changes and upgrades your hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system will need to match future BMS Performance. You will also learn about the challenges posed by voltage drop, thermal offset, and the quality of wiring, as well as how to address these issues.

Key Takeaways:

• Range Challenges in BMS: Understand the impact of the margin of error on battery capacity and how reducing margin of error can extend the range of battery packs.

• Testing for BMS Accuracy: Learn about voltage drop, thermal offset, wiring quality, and interconnection issues that affect BMS accuracy.

• Wiring Solutions: Discover the importance of HIL wiring for measurements and strategies to minimize voltage drops and erroneous BMS actions.

• Switching Solutions: Explore the types of relays needed to manage temperature, current capability, and sense line management for stable and accurate HIL performance.

• Collaborative Approaches: See how collaboration between various tools and methodologies can solve HIL challenges with improved wiring, switching, and measurement techniques.

• The Future of BMS: How impedance measurement and technology advancements can further enhance BMS accuracy and efficiency.
