Abstract
Climate change continues to threaten human existence, continuing pushes for sustainable alternatives for current systems. Electric Vehicle (EV) technologies are rapidly changing as their popularity increases. This project addresses the need for additional driving range for electric vehicles by proposing a highly-adaptable and effective battery management system. The battery management system would allow the use of any DC-DC converter and is compatible with varying electric vehicle battery architectures. The specific deliverable and results of this project is a Simulink test bench environment intended to be used by students, researchers, and EV engineers for further EV battery technology development. Future work can explore further increasing the accuracy and variability of our modeling system in progress to create a physical implementation.
