With the popularity of electric vehicles, battery management systems (BMS) play a vital role in the performance, safety, and longevity of electric vehicles. BMS is responsible for monitoring the status of the battery, controlling the charging and discharging process, managing the battery temperature, and preventing overcharging and overdischarging to ensure the best battery performance, safety and reliability. BMS PCB design plays a key role in ensuring battery performance, safety, and reliability. This article briefly explains the main points of BMS PCB design for electric vehicles and the relevant domestic specifications and requirements to help PCB engineers better meet the needs of battery management.
Key points of BMS PCB design for electric vehicles:
Hierarchical design:EV BMS typically includes multiple modules, such as battery management, communications, power management, etc. Therefore, the PCB design should be hierarchically structured so that the signals and power lines of the different modules can be clearly and effectively separated.
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Considerations:The EV BMS PCB design must consider electromagnetic compatibility to prevent electromagnetic interference to other vehicle electronics and ensure the reliability of the system. In the design, shielding measures, ground planning, and noise reduction techniques should be adopted to reduce electromagnetic radiation and anti-interference capabilities.
High temperature environment adaptability:Electric vehicle battery packs operate in high-temperature environments, so BMS PCBs must be resistant to high temperatures. The selection of high-temperature resistant materials, reasonable thermal design and temperature sensors to monitor the battery temperature is key.
Security Requirements:BMS is responsible for battery safety management and must meet strict safety requirements. The PCB design should consider the battery overcharge, over-discharge, and short-circuit protection to ensure the safety of the battery.
Communication Interface:EV BMS typically requires data interaction with vehicle control systems, charging stations, and monitoring systems. Therefore, communication interfaces such as CAN, LIN, and Ethernet should be considered in the design to meet different communication requirements.
Maintainability:EV BMS requires regular maintenance and upgrades. The PCB design should consider features that are easy to maintain, such as clear marking, easily replaceable components, and modular design.
Low-power design:To prolong battery life, BMS should be designed with low power consumption. PCB design should pay attention to reducing power consumption, including optimizing the circuitry, selecting low-power components, and designing for sleep mode.
Fault tolerance:An EV BMS must have a certain fault tolerance to prevent the impact of a single point of failure on the overall system. It is common practice to employ redundant designs and fault detection techniques.
Domestic EV BMS specifications and requirements:
In China, the BMS PCB design of electric vehicles must comply with a series of national and local standards to ensure the safety and performance of electric vehicles. Here are some of the key specifications and requirements:
GB T 31485-2015 "General Specification for Battery Management Systems for Electric Vehicles":This standard specifies the performance, reliability, safety, and communication requirements for BMS for electric vehicles. These specifications must be adhered to in the design to ensure BMS compliance.
GB T 31486-2015 "Safety Specification for Lithium-ion Power Batteries for Electric Vehicles":This standard specifies the safety requirements for lithium-ion batteries, and the BMS must be able to monitor and manage the status of the battery to ensure safety.
GB T 32960-2016 Technical Requirements for Remote Diagnosis and Communication of Road Vehicles:This standard specifies remote diagnostics and communication requirements for electric vehicles, including data transmission and cloud-based monitoring of BMS. The application of these communication technologies should be considered in the design.
Local standards: Some localities** may have additional BMS requirements in place to meet local safety and environmental standards. The design team should pay close attention to local regulations and requirements.
Conclusion:
EV BMS PCB design is a key factor in ensuring battery performance, safety, and reliability. Designers must consider key points such as hierarchical design, EMC, adaptability to high-temperature environments, safety requirements, communication interfaces, serviceability, low-power design, and fault tolerance. At the same time, relevant domestic norms and requirements, such as GB T 31485-2015, GB T 31486-2015 and GB T 32960-2016, must be complied with to ensure the compliance of BMS. The future development of electric vehicles requires continuous improvement and innovation of BMS PCB designs to meet the growing needs and challenges.
