Description
A BMS software solution for the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry plays a crucial role in ensuring battery safety, performance, and longevity. Geocrat Battery Management System (BMS) monitors and manages: Battery charging and discharging, Cell voltage monitoring, Thermal management and Fault detection etc. The BMS get the data from communication between IoT Device and vehicle BMS through Can Bus.
Battery Management System delivers benefits:
Battery charging and discharging,
Cell voltage monitoring,
Thermal management
Fault detection
Feature
Enhancing safety, and maximizing battery lifespan to ensure it delivers reliable, sustainable, and intelligent power
Cell Monitoring
- Voltage monitoring of individual cells and overall pack
- Temperature monitoring at cell/module level
- Current measurement (charge/discharge)
State Estimation
- State of Charge (SOC): Real-time battery charge level estimation
- State of Health (SOH): Long-term battery degradation tracking
- State of Power (SOP): Available power at any moment (for acceleration, regen)
- Remaining travel (in advanced systems)
Fault Detection & Management
- Overvoltage, undervoltage detection
- Overtemperature, under temperature detection
- Overcurrent during charge/discharge
- Insulation resistance and short-circuit detection
Live Dashboards
- User interface (PC/mobile) to monitor
- Live data (voltage, SOC, temperature)
- Fault codes
Usecase
Electric Vehicles (EVs)
- Real-time Battery Monitoring & Control by Continuously monitors voltage, current, temperature of each cell/module. Also sends health and performance data to the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) via CAN.
- State of Charge (SOC) Estimation for remaining battery charge and enables range prediction and optimized powertrain control.
- Thermal Protection by Trigger real time alerts on over temperature based on cell temperatures to prevent overheating.
