Testing Protocols for Battery Performance and Reliability Applications of Python in Battery Management Systems

Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries(LIBs) which are popular across electrical devices and gadgets such as products with EV charging and renewable energy systems such as EV charging systems. Despite that, the characteristics of batteries such as performance, reliability and cost are still problematic. Therefore, this report aims at examining how Python, together with Open Source tools, can be used in the testing and management of battery systems. It covers charge-discharge cycling, determination of capacity, and impedance techniques. Further, it discusses Python incorporation in the improvement of Battery Management Systems (BMS) for accurate monitoring of vital settings like voltage, current and temperature of batteries. In the low-cost battery testers, PVWPS, and BMS, modular designs, the report reveals how the use of Python can minimize costs and enhance the systems’ dependability. Based on the results, solutions implemented with Python have versatility, low cost and expansiveness that is fundamental to guarantee sustainable power for electric automobiles and renewable energy storage systems. Some recommendations for future work are provided at the end of the report, such as machine learning integration and the creation of battery less embedded systems.
