How modeling and simulation drive safer battery management systems in EVs

Most drivers know it: lithium batteries are the heart of electric and hybrid cars, but they age with each charge. Now a new study proposes something surprising: artificial intelligence can accurately predict how much life is left of a battery. This could revolutionize the maintenance of the electric vehicle, saving money and improving road safety How do scientists get it? The key is an advanced data analysis that transforms battery voltage measu…

How modeling and simulation drive safer battery management systems in EVs

Globally, battery demand grew by 70% in 2023 compared with 2022, driven by rising electric vehicle (EV) sales. Safety has remained a top priority, as the high energy density of lithium-ion batteries poses a risk of failure if operating conditions stray from their design parameters. As EV battery use has increased, effective battery management systems (BMS) have become critical to prevent thermal runaway and other adverse outcomes. MathWorks seni…
