The lead-acid battery of an electric minibus has been replaced with a smaller size lithium-ion battery system consisting of standard 12 V modules and a hierarchical battery management system. The minibus has experimentally been tested…
A micro-Pirani vacuum sensor with an operating pressure range of more than 5 decades is described. The device is fabricated by applying a low-resolution and potentially low-cost front-side bulk micromachining step to a chip produced…
The paper is related to a study that analyzes the effects of fast charge on a lithium-ion storage system at itsdifferent architectural levels: cell, battery module, complete battery system. A first set of tests was…
In this work, we propose a single-chip sensor for the detection of two extremely low, independent differential pressures. The operating principle consists in measuring the airflow induced by the pressure through a channel of sub-millimeter…
This paper describes a hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulation platform specifically designed to test state estimators for Li-ion batteries in electric vehicle applications. Two promising estimators, the Mix algorithm combined with the moving window least squares and…
