Abstract
A battery management system (BMS) design, based on linear optocouplers for Lithium-ion battery cells for automotive and stationary applications is proposed. The critical parts of a BMS are the input voltages and currents measurement circuits. In this design, they include linear optocouplers for galvanic isolation between the battery pack and the BMS. Optocouplers based on AlGaAs light emitted diodes (LED) and PIN photodiode with external operational amplifiers are used. The design features linear characteristics, to ensure the accuracy of the measurements. The suggested approach is based on graphical data digitalizing, which gives the precise values for the most sensitive parameters: photocurrent, normalized and transferred servo gain and helps the calculation procedure to be automated with MATLAB scripts. Several mathematical methods in the analysis are used in order for the necessary equations to be derived. The results are experimentally verified with prototypes.
