Energy storage system (ESS) technology is still the logjam for the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have attracted considerable attention in the EV industry owing to their high energy density, lifespan, nominal voltage, power density, and cost. In EVs, a smart battery management system (BMS) is one of the essential components; it not only measures the states of battery accurately, but also ensures safe operation and prolongs the battery life. The accurate estimation of the state of charge (SOC) of a Li-ion battery is a very challenging task because the Li-ion battery is a highly time variant, non-linear, and complex electrochemical system. This paper explains the workings of a Li-ion battery, provides the main features of a smart BMS, and comprehensively reviews its SOC estimation methods. These SOC estimation methods have been classified into four main categories depending on their nature. A critical explanation, including their merits, limitations, and their estimation errors from other studies, is provided. Some recommendations depending on the development of technology are suggested to improve the online estimation.

Abstract— Battery is one of the important components in the development of renewable energy technology. This paper presents a method for estimating the State of Charge (SoC) for a 4Ah Li-ion battery. State of Charge (SoC) is the status of the capacity in the battery in the form of a percentage which makes it easier to monitor the battery during use. Coulomb calculations are widely used, but this method still contains errors during integration. In this paper, SoC measurement using Open Circuit Voltage Compensation is used for the determination of the initial SoC, so that the initial SoC reading is more precise, because if the initial SoC reading only uses a voltage sensor, the initial SoC reading is less precise which affects the next n second SoC reading. In this paper, we present a battery management system design or commonly known as BMS (Battery Management System) which focuses on the monitoring function. BMS uses a voltage sensor in the form of a voltage divider circuit and an ACS 712 current sensor to send information about the battery condition to the microcontroller as the control center. Besides, BMS is equipped with a protection relay to protect the battery. The estimation results of the 12volt 4Ah Li-ion battery SoC with the actual reading show an error of less than 1%.Keywords—Battery Management System, Modified Coulomb Counting, State of Charge.

In order to ensure good performance and extend the lifetime of li-ion batteries in electric cars, effective real-time monitoring and management must be valued. This paper designs an electric vehicle battery management system based on a smart battery monitoring chip, DS2438. It integrates the measurement of battery's temperature, voltage, current, and power as a whole, which not only simplifies the circuit, but also saves system cost. The battery’s SOC (State Of Charge) can be easily estimated and displayed in this design. It improves the reliability of power battery pack and prolonged its life, which can be used as reference to battery management system design and application.

The real-timely estimation of the SOC (state of charge) is the key technology in Li-ion battery management system. In this paper, to overcome the error of the SOC estimation of Extended Kalman filter (EKF), a new estimation method based on modified-strong tracking filter (MSTF) is applied to SOC estimation of Li-ion battery, based on the second-order RC equivalent circuit model. Experiments are made to compare the new filter with the EKF and Coulomb counting approach (Ah). The simulation results demonstrate that the new filter algorithm MSTF used in this paper has higher filtering accuracy under the same conditions.


The green energy evolution initiated the use of electric and hybrid electric vehicles at present on roads. These vehicles extensively use different types of batteries and among them lithium ion batteries are prominent. The Li-ion battery pack constitutes number of Li-ion battery cells connected in series and parallel configuration. This battery bank needs a suitable battery management system for its efficient operation. This paper presents a novel battery management system to monitor and control the battery current, voltage, state of charge and most importantly the cell temperature. The detail BMS scheme for Li-ion battery pack is presented and simulation is carried out to validate its performance with a driving cycle of electric car.

Battery-powered Electric Vehicles (BEVs) such as electric cars, use the battery as the main power source to drive the motor, in addition to lighting, horn, and other functions. Currently, Balai Besar Bahan dan Barang Teknik (B4T) has been conducting research in Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery prototype for an electric vehicle. However, the management system in accordance with the electrical characteristics of the battery prototype is still not available. Thus, to integrate the battery prototype with electrical components of the electric vehicle, it is necessary to design Battery Management System (BMS). Two important battery parameters observed are State of Charge (SOC) and State  of  Health  (SOH).  The  method  used  for  SOC  was  Coulomb  Counting.  SOH  was  determined  using  a combination between Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Relevance Vector Machine (RVM). Based on the experiments by using BMS, the battery performance could be more controlled and produces a linear curve of SOC and SOH.Keywords: Battery, electric vehicle, Battery Management System (BMS), Lithium-ion (Li-ion).
