As the developed world attempts to move to a more “green†lifestyle, electric vehicles are clearly becoming a growing part of the automotive scene. They promise low or no emissions, conceivably low cost of fuel from the Power grid, yet they will deliver us safely to and from work and shopping.
But their design is a paradigm shift for the Auto Industry – new drive systems, technologies… and test plans. These vehicles are bringing new test and validation challenges to the industry as the electronics content of the vehicles grows.
The auto industry has embraced the use of Lithium Ion Batteries for most future Hybrids and Plug-in Hybrids. This battery design requires a carefully designed charging system to provide long life and safety; which means that one of the major challenges to be tackled in electric vehicles concerns the effective testing of the Battery Management Systems (BMS) – the electronics that manage the state of the battery that stores the high levels of energy required to propel the vehicle.
To aid in the testing of the BMS, DMC Engineering & Software Services and Pickering Interfaces have collaborated to help provide a solution to BMS testing for a major manufacturer, based on PXI modules that emulate the battery systems. In this presentation, we will discuss some of the tests that must be performed and why. We’ll also show how PXI was utilized and why it was a perfect solution to a complex problem.
